This post is 3 parts boyz: 1) The Waaaaaaagh sound doesn't sound right at all. When it comes up on your screen you get a cheesey pop-up that says "WAAAAGH" but the sound that plays to notify you is AWFUL. It sounds more like someone politely said "waaaaaa". There's no "gh" sound at the end and its not nearly as good as Space Marine or Dawn of War series which is what we're all basing this off of. They set the bar, BE fell hella short. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-8mu2YqCX0 I let the facts speak for themselves. Just look at those animations and sounds. Even the screen looks visually better and less UI crap going on. You can actually see what's happening around you unlike in EC (but that's another issue for some other thread). Also the gun sounds <3 2) Waaaagh mechanic in general shouldn't be something that only comes up at the end of the round. I don't know how it works in table top but if every other faction has passives and other strengths/weaknesses or mechanics, Orkz should get something functional too. Right now all they have is bad accuracy guns with okay damage and their only bonus is their items give them a tiny bit more health... My thinking was that the Waaaagh mechanic would be squad or nearby Ork based where the game detects how much action Orkz around you are taking or how many shots/kills/assists they're getting. As the round goes on the Waaagh banner fills up and activates for either all Orkz or only nearby Orkz of the squad leader. Something like that. Thoughtz? 3) Individual Ork players can't yell "Waaaaagh" on their own. This seems completely unacceptable as THAT IS ONE OF THE DEFINING FEATURES OF ORKZ!!!! One thing that made Chivalry: Medieval Warfare so good was that you and your team could battle cry as you were running. There was nothing quite like screaming: "AGATHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" With 14 other players as you rush the point. Never got old. Not once. Just to give you an idea: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHsdDwO59-U So ya, these games are a lot older now too. Step it up. :|
Go check out noisemakers sound thread. The waaaggghhh!!! shout is gling to be added both for global activation and as a T command when waaaggghhh!!! is up.
