F2Waaagh boyz will have access to Tact/Assault/Heavy classes however no elites, heroes and most vehicles.

Post from Brent in the Ork F2p Players Progression (new Info) forum.

The above post pretty much clarified what I was saying, and it has been clarified by the Devs as well. A paid player will be a better Ork than a free player.

I think you may have misunderstood, I do not think the paid player playing the same class as a free player will inherently be stronger stat-wise or something.....BUT the fact that the free player will probably progress slower, have less access to hero/tanks makes them weaker.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the lore when he spoke about that, rather than how powerful they will be in EC. It wouldn't make F2W very appealing if it took a mob of you to take down one enemy.

Miguel did talk about veteran players unlocking (small) upgrades to damage and hp they can equip as they earned experience, however, which might mean that F2W orks are equal in strength to a starting player, but a little weaker than established players. I doubt it would be anything close to requiring 3 orks to kill one marine, however.

All other factions they plan to add will need to be separate. They really will.

Guard, Sisters and Space Marines all on the same team? Good job have a HORRIBLY OVERPOPULATED game where we'll have to resort to teamkilling to get any action.

Haha holy shit, my psyker powers of foresight prove effective once again! I told you guys the way Miguel explained it wasn't clear/concise! (implying you need foresight to realize that)

Why do we end up here after every few days???

Face it Ork Boyz are the only free to play. why? because BE said so!

Any one who is recommending other factions as free to play do you seriously think the Developers never thought about it?

The Reason we get F2P Orks is because this faction will be the least populated one. Yes even lower than Eldars.

According to lore Orks are suppose to be numerous and to show that in game they are going to throw all the F2P players in the Ork faction. Hoping that Orks at-least surpass Eldar and chaos population if not space marines. (space marine according to BE survey will be roughly about 40-45% of the game POP)

So adding IG or Space Nuns would not help, because last thing we want is a Care Bear version of Warhammer 40k where every one is standing on one side and no one to fight with.

Now the second point is why include F2P at all in the game? well BE is not really known for great games lets face it. so in order to prove that they made something good they are going to allow players to taste what the game is like for free as .....yes you guessed it Ork boyz.

So this way BE kills 2 birds with one shot..... get players to play the game and prove the game is good to all who have doubts about the company and Keep GW and all Fans happy by feeding them that the Orks will truly be Numerous hence worthy of being called the GREEN TIDE.

So please every one Keep your New F2P factions to your self because no matter how many threads you make about it, we are not going to get it.

As Musibatkhan said, that is true, I would love IG to be a free faction (hell, I don't care, give us p2p ones and Kasrkin you heretics) but it's simply not possible, my fear is even with f2p the Orks are going to take a beating, if this game is as good as we all want it to be, all the f2p players will buy it and change to 'Spess Mehreens', I will most likely end up playing one of the other 3, simply because of the overflow of the LSM.

I've been told that they would have only one class (the equivalent to Tactical/Dire Avenger/Chaos Chosen) and actually think I've read a few posts saying that has been said somewhere. On that account I was wrong, which I find to be incredibly good news as I didn't really like to idea of the Ork faction possibly having much lower numbers of heavy fire support and fast attack troops.

But I still can't agree on the thought that F2W Orks will be weaker. After all, slower progression does not equal being weaker. If a player who paid unlocks some features faster, but you unlock those same features in the meanwhile you would by no means be weaker than him. Faster and easier progression doesn't equal performance in battle. Strategically speaking, most of the Ork faction will progress slower but that doesn't mean they will be weaker than anyone else who is on a similar level of progression. It should not. I don't understand how you're reading this from that information. : /

Also, I don't understand why some people react in such a volatile manner over threads like these. There is nothing wrong with people wanting different F2P (aka endless free trial) options. I'd much prefer if people used forum search before making such new threads, but other than that it is perfectly alright to want F2P Guardsmen, Cultists and Guardians.

I mean, so what if we've been told that there will only be F2W? Perhaps one day in the future things will change and we'll see different F2P options. You can like it or not, support it or not, but you don't really have to try to shoot people down on account of that. Look at Musibatkhan, for example. I think it's not fair of him to ask people to keep their opinions to themselves on a public forum. I find it actually kind of stupid.

To make a new thread every second day about another F2P faction? yeah you can express your opinion but do it in the 1000 of other similar threads. No need to make another one.

and how does a new F2p class such as Guardsman, Cultist and Guardians help in keeping the Green tide look and feel like a Sea of green?

So you want an already expected overpopulated faction to exceed to Super over populated faction?

But my issue is if a thread already exist there is not need to make a new one. Go find the old one and add to that.
