I guess it seems pessimistic and needlessly negative because you are reading into things completely the wrong way and putting words in my mouth. Why have you brought up the success of the game? This OP is nothing to do with the games' success it's to do with Orks being underpowered. If you want to talk about the games' success start another post or discuss elsewhere. This aint the place and it's completely irrelevant. You misunderstood what I said about Ork players specifically leaving. You continue to misunderstand when I am telling you that this isn't a jab or attack against bE, it is me giving them information as a player notifying them that the current situation is not fun and broken. This feedback is important because it helps the game get better. I'm not the only one to think this and yes, I'm sure the metrics will be looked at, bE will see that Orks are losing more and will try to solve the problem. The nature of their fix may be completely wrong unless we, the players and the community voice our opinion about what is broken and why.
Ah well I guess I do tend to continuously misunderstand especially when it comes to the enigmatic community of the Orks and their indirect ways of communicating and I guess I was completely taken off guard by the sincerity and legitimacy of concern you were showing about bE nerfing Orks into the ground and killing off the player-base, I guess I had just adapted to all the mean nasty hater trolls that infest the forum that when you were so evidently trying to put your point across that you were regarded as a White Knight I believed it was somewhat untrue because of the negative nature of your message.
No worries, I want this game to succeed and I think it will too. I'm not one of those negative guys who just sits here and slates the game, don't worry. Still though I think the Orks need to be looked at
Dat'z coz you can't see dem guild tagz, ya grot. Dey'z all purple now. Sneaky. The spam is annoying, double so if used by JPA, but I don’t find it unbeatable. I can try to make a short guide with videos and stuff if you guys think it will be useful, but I’m just… not very good at making long posts and big speeches. I’m a lazy git, okay? Lazy. And have attention span of a squirrel. Here’s the main idea, though: you can stick around with shoota boyz and break humie weapons with a clubba, so that the gitz get stunned and dakkaed to death, or you can roll around and backstab the living shit out everyone while they are busy. I haven’t recorded anything since my post about shields and sluggas, but I dug through the footage I have and picked up a few fights that illustrate the second strategy. Spoiler View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wD1zqEuopo This is a pretty straightforward 2v2 fight against a duo of Warlocks; a few backstabs a little bit later are there because I totally meant them to be there and not because I forgot to cut them off. Spoiler View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBtJ53XPN0s&feature=youtu.be And this is an overall proof of concept: rolling around and taking on powersword gits, or axe gits, or, really, any gitz from behind is really killy and effective. Sadly I don't have anything with hardcore powersword JPA spam, but a fight against JPA looks roughly the same as the fight in the first video - you just get to shoot more, because those jetpack gitz like to fly away like they are zoggin' Mary Poppins. Okay, let me try. Ahem. F-f... f-f-f... FOR FUCK SAKE YOU FUCKING FUCKS FIX THE FUCKING MELTA BOMBS YOU MENTALLY DISABLED SNOTLINGS GORK THE FUCKING MORK YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM WORKING FOR OTHERS JUST GIVE US LSM MELTA BOMBS FOR NOW YOU FUCKING PIECES OF GROT GARBAGE YOU... YOU... On second thought, let's not open that can of worms.
Atm I think the biggest problem for orks is the new players don't listen and in general people play really dumb. I see a lot of people running around with garbage weapons, block eachothers LoS, and just attack points i a really stupid way.
I noticed we can not put any tier 5 wargear without being nerfed to base stats and weapons. However, other races can pile at least 1 tier 5 wargear and still have best weapons. Proof.
This too annoys me , after 3 matches as a fresh marine you can already stack up to 160 armour , have a powersword and your good to go
Not really true. If you took the shield off you could take one of the 300lp weapons instead of the regular choppas. Also, gobs/ironhalos/etc. are meant for veteran classes in my opinion. You are gimping yourself if you put it on your regular classes. http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...765/C7D4AC3EBA4DA3F81A3706B617FB33D80AC1229E/ http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...885/8207E8A2A777CE3F3420B9992DB77268D22EB8F3/
Okay so ill admit orks are a pain atm, every time i do a klan rally i can only stand 2-3 games before leaving. Nerfing would be find but there are zero fixes for things that are broken along with the nerf to compensate. If they fixed all our bugs/useless dbash i dont think id be so toxic towards this game at the moment. But i guess it's all good, my review on steam will just stay thumbs down till the game gets to a better state! when the game lets me love it i will love it again. Now all that said......YOUZ BOYZ BETTA FALL BACK IN, WEZ GOTTA COME BACK FER ANUVVA GO SEE? WEZ MORE KOMMUNIKATED WEZ MORE TEAMY BASED DAN DEM STINKIN SALT MARINES, OR DEM SPIKEY SALTY BOYZ!
I haven't been playing much as an Ork unfortunately. Every time I try to play my Lvl 2 guy I feel like a friggn Grot.
