It would be doable to have underpowered guys if they gave them much lower respawn times. Orks are the Green Tide after all :orks101:

Honestly the free WAAAGH was always a terrible idea because even with a reduced spawn time you are literal fodder for the paying SM who is glowing with the empras righteous light as he mows down dozens of f2p boyz with a chainsword. There's only so much of that someone can take.

It might be viable from a balance standpoint but it'd be a lovely experience to be an ork boy fighting space marines you're significantly disadvantaged against 1v1. I'm glad they shitcanned that idea, although now we have ork boyz beating up space marines instead of nobs like the original intent, so it's not perfect this way, either.

Why didn't they just make the orks bigger and make them nobz? A nob is just a boy that's bigger with more armor and bling.

They way they have progression, the base classes lead to veteran classes of the same type. So tactical marines progress to unlock veteran tactical marines, and so on. Maybe they couldn't figure out what nobz would unlock as a veteran class, so they just went "gently caress it" and made ork boyz the default class so that nobz could be the veteran class.

Yeah and for orks they're nobz. Dunno if they're physically larger but I doubt it. Would have made more sense for the veteran ork classes to be skarboyz given that the veteran classes are just regular classes with a bit better gear, but whatever.

I've been having loads of fun with Scorpion. Also, don't spend your Crusadebux on weapons, get the supply drops. You don't get duplicates and you can get pretty much everything except cosmetics with in game currency.

The biggest crime EC commits is that it explains NOTHING unless you spend half an hour in the garrison reading text boxes, which is a terrible way to do it.

Try the Swooping Hawk, once you get the flight down it's maybe the coolest class I've ever seen in a shooter.

The game is still $40 on GMG:

The game is pretty fun, albeit kinda janky. And it doesn't really perform well on my GTX 970, which is a shame. Lowering the graphics down reduces the render resolution and just makes things look terrible.

If you want to get PC-y, under Local is the settings file and you can put the rendering to 100 while turning down the rest of the settings.

I'd actually be pretty surprised if it did while it was still just a lobby shooter. If they survive long enough to do the open territories stuff I wouldn't be surprised to see a class/rank limited trial there. Big if though.

You can roll out of a stun lock, if you can't roll you're a class that should stay away from melee but even than you can still manage to clang the enemy once or twice, which will give your buddies a chance to take the attacker out. If you're running around alone in a ranged focus class.... well, sucks to be you but the stun is one of the things that make the melee work. It's far from perfect, but once you get used to it it gives you more depth than most shooters. Which, at least for me, also translates to more fun.

This guild system is retarded. It's per faction, you can not have the same name across factions and there's no spaces in names. Only 4 letter tags, and they're unique as well.

There is absolutely no reason why these guilds can't be cross faction considering the only function they have is creating a roster.

I made a guild per faction. It's not ideal, but it'll do.

Eldar - GoonSquad [GOON]
Space Marines - GoonsOfImperium [G0ON]
Chaos Marines - FuckGoons [GO0N]
Ork - SquadOfGoons [G00N]

Join those and use it as a roster I guess. I'll hop on every day and approve/promote people so I'm not stuck running this poo poo.

I'll be making an appearance at the elder guild soon as Alb.

Striking scorpion is a cool class to play. Really cheap and easy to hear out too since they only have the pistol and weapon, they have a lot of room for extra stuff. Got +dmg chainblade and I'm doing 599 base damage power swings out of stealth in the butt. Nothing like sneaking up on a tactical and just watching them literally ragdoll-melt from one swing.
