So if you guys missed this : http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/ork-f2p-players-progression-new-info.20139/page-5 (page 5: Brent Ellison post) He was trying to clear out some blunder of a very tired miguel in an interview. ( the confusion created was wether the whole Ork faction is free to play or not) Now to Zog with the confusion that has already been cleared( we are not discussing that here ) the interesting info we Ork player got from this Blunder is the following text: What I gathered from this is: The Boyz can play as: Slugga and Shoota (tactical) so most probably consider them as the boyz who can choose : Choppa, Slugga, Big Shoota, Shoota, and most probably Rokkit launcha. Storm Boy ( assault) Loota (heavy) Pain Boy (apothecary) Mega Nobz and Wyrdboyz are elites. And those who buy the faction will have the ability to play as a Nob category of the 4 Boyz classes ( this is what makes the most sense to me) Vehicles will be capped for F2P boyz, and progress might be slow for the F2P player too. As mentioned before Mega Nobz will be equal-ant of terminators meaning they will require requisition for one to play. ( we can be sure about this because the faction artwork has Mega Nobz and Mekboy is in the same art work too) so add the mekboyz to the list. Hero classes that are confirmed due to the art work shown by a bloke at BE are Kommando Skar Boy and Cybork. Cybork ^ Kommando hero ^ ***both cybork and Kommando concept art shown to us has been removed by the uploader. Hence I've changed the concept art with the art from the rogue trader store. so in short the following classes are confirmed for us are: Boyz Storm boyz Lootaz Pain boy ( we know this thru the new list released by BE ) Nobz ( only for people who buy the faction? ) Mekboyz ( Elite: most probably thru requisition with a long cool down) Wyrdboyz (Elite: thru requisition or only for people who buy the faction? ) MANZ (Elite?) Cyborks (hero) Kommando skar boy (hero) Elite Requisition based classes: MANZ, Wyrdboyz, Mekboyz and Wyrdboyz Hero classes: Kommando Skar Boy and Cybork. What do you guys gather from this information? Discuss.
Da zog are manz? Anywaay, i fink dat it'z pretty much gud to try fer free all da rozta. If zumeone like zo much to play az a boy, he may want in da futture to pay fer bekomin eva a nob.
It means there will be lots and lots and lots of rambunctious Boyz in need of a good kickin' to keep in line. If they follow this thread of 'ork immersion' to its logical conclusion they will give the paying players who choose to be Nobz some kind of ability to smack around griefy free players and get them in line.
Most us on this forum had issue with Cyborks as being Hero Class. That was because in last Codex Cybork Bodies could be bought any one in the army. But in the new 7th edition Cybork bodies can only be bought by HQ ( characters). I think BE were already informed about the 7th edition changes and are being told to follow the new Codex as far as orks are concerned. BE placed Lootaz as heavy just like the new Codex states + have Cyborks as heroes, again as the 7th edition ork codex states.
I've added Pain boy to the list in the OP. as the new list released By BE is : #1 :Shoota boy #2: Lootaz #3: Storm Boy #4: Pain Boy These classes are the main 4 classes equal-ant of SM Tactical, Heavy, Assault and Apothecary.
We don't get healers we have the mek boy. I'd assume orks get a decent regen stay or just good Overall health.
According to the Official List of non elite and non hero classes released by BE Bloke Brent Ellson ***HUR HUR*** SHORT FOR BRENT ELLSON IS "BE" ASWELL! ....... in the list of 4 classes, Pain Boy is one of them Now I don't know if its a mistake on his end but that is what has stated. Another thing is the Slugga Boy was not mentioned. It might be that the Shoota boy has so many load outs that they can be kitted out as Sluggas. Unlike Orks Eldars received 7 normal classes. This is due to Eldars classes are too specific to roles. which is not the case with Orks. So we can presume that a single Class out of the 4 mentioned can easily take on more than one role. Plus they are not sure if the Lootaz will be called Lootaz when the game comes out. They are debating what to call them atm. Keep in mind the new ORK Codex is going to dictate the classes in this game a lot. hence we have pain boy ( new codex puts a lot of emphasis on pain boy) and might be that the lootaz be changed into Flash gitz. ( again because GW just released Flahs Gitz models) Flash Gitz make more sense in EC because it'll be easier to come out with different type of heavy weapons for them rather than the lootaz. Lootaz option: deff gun, beamy gun flash gitz option: slug based weapon, rapid weapon, plasma based, rokkit based, electricity based etc.
