    We know we're good, we just don't like the WAAAAGH! mechanic as it currently stands. It only happens sometimes, and only for the last 5 minutes of a game. Considering it's supposed to be our racial ability that makes us more different, it's pretty lackluster. If we had Warlords like they spoke about earlier, that would have been different as then it's a triggered ability. But those aren't coming anytime soon.

    I myself prefer a much more simplified version of the idea suggested by @Kaptain_K_Rool , where Orks in close proximity generate a passive buff to each other, starting with 5 Orks (a.k.a. the Mob Up! rule). This buff would increase player movement speed, as well as Melee attack speed and RoF for ranged weapons. This represents the WAAAAGH mentality, as the more Orks there are the more energetic and enthusiastic they get. This buff would stack the more Orks there are, but would cap at a certain point.

    As a balancing agent, the accuracy of ranged weapons would be debuffed in the same stackable way (the more Orks, the less accurate the fire). Armor would also suffer to a degree in stacks to represent the Orks' reckless need to charge the enemy. This way Orks would be easier to take out at a distance but make them more dangerous in a massed assault, as per Orky lore.

    It also would not hamper Orks who are of a sneakier and choose to move as small kommando teams rather than the horde of boyz.

  2. I loik dis 'ere idea

    I jus' want da factions ta' be moar den jus' carbon copies o' each uvva' wit' a diffarant weapon sprinkled 'ere and dere er a mere slight stat change. Asymmetrical balance and wut 'ave ye. i only suggested th' bilge I got 'cuz I figured it'd be neat, I don't get why blokes only go on 'bout how "It'd be too OP" and don't even botha' wif da concept dat ye can change bilge around ta' fit an idea and all dat

    I figured orks bein' made weaka' but 'avin' orky buffs instead wuuld be fun, howeva' ye be roight wut wif da not wantin' ta' punish dem kommando teams and ta' make it simple. figured da team loik orky buffs moight fit wif da whole team bilge dis game be fer wut' wif squads and da loik

    Yeah that's what I figured too. It'd be much more fun than this bland WAAAAGH they've given us. It's almost as bad as Skarblitz himself!

  4. Dat it'd be. I came 'ere fer Orks. I don't want no carbon copy space mahreens wif diffarant skins. If'n dat 'appens I jus' won't even botha' comin' back. Don't play much az it be unfortunately. 'Aven't even botha'd wif da current ork campaign

    Yeah, it's been getting kinda stale lately. Even now I try to avoid the large Klan rallies we hold and try for the smaller ones, just to have a challenge.

  6. Eh, not too grand at th' game meself, so it be a challenge and such fer me

    I jus' be an ork wot wants each race/factions ta' be diffarant, and ta' 'ave yer choice uv race actually matta' a tad simila' ta' back in da old WoW w'ere if'n ye were on a PvP serva' ye cuuld only 'ave characta's frum eitha' da Horde er da Alliance not both (dey've since changed dis I learned). If'n I wanted symmetrically balanced Sphess Mahreen combat I'd play wif da little online population wut be left on da Space Marine game

    Hence why all uv me roight silly ideas wut involve all races tend ta' involve each race 'avin' diffarant methods o' goin' 'bout it

    I like that, and I hope that in time our factions will be more differentiated between each other to really mean something. Poor Eldar got the short stick on that end, they're so different that they have issues with the rest of us.
