That is a valid point, pretty much every Ork weapon is designed to shoot ungodly amounts of lead or do outrageously obscene amounts of damage. If half the Ork Arsenal even partially compared to the storm bolter in its current state, we might as well call ourselves the winner already.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get to control the Bomb Squig while our character sits and waits, sorta like Junkrat from Overwatch.
I'm not so sure. I think that maybe the average FtP gamer might find the Orks and the Orky culture less interesting, compared to Space Marine or Chaos Space Marines. I fear that many of thrm will either buy the game and go Marine or ditch the game altogether.
Well, judging by a lot of free to play games, the Orks would become dominate because(Ideally) fresh blood would come in as fast as it comes out. So I can see the benefit of Free 2 Waaaagh, it gives a boost to all the factions involved while mainly contributing to the feel of Orks. Granted this has other problems: these free Orks are limited by nature so it's a bit hard to balance it so that having F2W Orks isn't a disadvantage as much of an advantage, and of course you also have the organization issues that arise.... But overall it's a good idea...which makes me more bent out of shape that it's not going to be in at launch.
Yeah, that makes me sad too. I dunno, I would not be suprised if the game won't get close to the stated goal at launch, and frankly, I'd be okay with that. I mean, yeah, the idea of huge battles with 100 players sounds super-nice, but really, my experience won't be hurt if we're just 40 or 50. My experience will be hurt if the world doesn't have the open feel I was promised though - I'm an explorer by heart, and love to explore new areas in games, and if that's gimped at launch I might be a bit disappointed. Terminator armour, Free2Waaagh, Dreadnought, whatever - As long as the world's there, I can explore for as long as I like
Assuming it actually does happen post-launch http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/free-to-waagh-is-currently-out.49265/
My biggest problem woth F2W as greatest equalizer is the unbearable tide of a$$holes, trolls , and squeakers but hey thats just me but those people can really kill a game ( look at fistful or frags ). Im in favor of the 3 1/2 way alliance. Though if the combi/storm bolter is OP than ( as previously stated ) orks may be in the running for the most OP matt ward pissing off faction .
