Post by: ausYenLoWang
Well yes kain we do have madness, there is now a rules paradox.
The print BRB and the Digital BRB were auto udpated when FAQ and erata came along, same with the digital versions of the codex.
basic example is the Hellbrute, its 105 in my print book and 100 in the Digital... which is now correct etc.
so in the grimdark future of 40k there is paradox's and madness

Post by: sarduka42
Well for the moment, I would go with the latest printed/digital printed rules as the correct information.
Unfortunately we're going to have to treat anything that was in the FAQs as obsolete now, so either revert to the last printed instructions or point values or go with the classic dice role to validate arguments brought on by this GW mess.

Or we could go with the latest that were released before the new site? I only have the ones relevant to my armies but I'm sure between the hobby community there's a way to divulge the information from the faq's. Does that go against copyright? I'm not sure on the legal issues but that seems like the most logical approach to my mind.

This is super interesting. Effectively, does this mean it's going to be cool to take Missile Drones in normal Tau squads again? Not sure it'll be that great since they can be buffed by a drone controller, but it is a big change to the way the army works.

So are we at the point where paper copies of your book are no longer going to be usable? Sounds like you have a mess for most players, never mind the stab in the back that is to LGSes since that's one more product they have that's now garbage.
And as an aside, is there a version number on the ePub versions of the book? I can't find one, so I can't really be sure that the ePub codexes I have are the newest version. Not even trying to play devil's advocate, just pointing out you have a situation that's at least as bad as the old CSM codex (when you had something like 3 different versions of Oblits in different printings and no markings to tell them apart)

Yeah its literally Armageddon for the game if the FAQs aren't put in place. It means GW has officially given up on trying to help us out in the slightest. It also means that the books are made flawed and you aren't getting any support for the price tag.

We're here to make models, take your money, and then make up gak about the models in that order. I don't see where we are supposed to give you free rule interpretations. In fact, we've done such a good job outsourcing communication of the hobby to our lawyers, you don't even know ahead of time we made a new website (internet rumor sites don't exist of course, nor internal leaks) or whether free rule interpretations are ever coming back, so in short, go on our website and order our stuff for full price.

This could be a problem for new players or for players who don't get much gaming time. Being a new player, if you advised me of a rule that was updated in a FAQ, I would have no authoritative source to check if your faq was correct - It could be a work of fiction for all I know (yes I've seen that done before)

I have an answer for you guys I think. Take a look at the new electronic edition of a codex. Quoted from the description of the new Necron Codex iBook:
"This expanded Codex includes interactive miniatures galleries, lavish colour artwork, and updated rules to match the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000."
So, you want the updated rules? Gotta give Apple som money too! =)

They're still selling models that are (rumored) to no longer be in the game in about 36 hours. 'They don't give a damn.' is a fairly reasonable assumption to make when it comes to GW.
I am genuinely curious how to play the game now though. I don't see any reason to use the FAQs anymore. Honestly I never downloaded the things because I didn't want to have to deal with keeping everything up to date, I'd just look things up on occasion. I'm going to download the bunch from a wayback link, but I think a person can be entirely reasonable about ignoring FAQs at this point.

The way I see it there are 4 options.
1. They're clueless, don't realise what they've deleted and how important they were.
2. it's a mistake and the faqs will be added to the site again in the coming weeks (months....years)
3. They're going to switch to Digital only rules so they don't need the faqs any more
4. They're going to release digital faqs for free or not.
Obviously some of those options are better than others...

I really hope this is true, but can't help but feel that this is akin to the rules questions & answers that you could email GW about. If it is then I'm going to have to pirate a digital version of the necron codex, because I am not going to buy the same codex twice. Until then my scythes will be fast skimmers again.

It's not like they retroactively vanished from existence, there are several people who have access to them.
Just because it's not accessible right now doesn't mean it doesn't apply. If you have printedout the faqs you have them.
If you have a offsite access (which people have already posted) . You have them.
GW didn't reverse time and make those faqs no longer apply.

To be fair, the same could be said for older FAQs/other removed items.
I have no doubt that GW will put up an FAQ page (or be forced to do so) so it shouldn't be like this for long, though technically with no current official FAQ there is none. As stated earlier, people have seen people forging FAQ entries and there is currently no way to verify their FAQ.

as the OP - yes and no
My original point on my similar thread was if GW, as seems the case, are not going to bother than whats the alternative - talking to friends they said there is a much more organised response to the evolving WFB rules - I don't know much about this - but its not really present in 40k and there does seem to be resistance to looking at the problem areas.
Lastly - we have had some email responses (nothing to mine to customer services) saying it should be going back up at some point - but nothing yet...............and zero on when / if we are ever getting new FAQs for instance for all the recent codexes................

Actually, someone probably will.
Nope, the iPad tau dexes disallow this. So now there is multiple versions of the rules. You want up to date rules? Buy digital peasants!
So I can intentionally use the hard copy Tau codex to give myself an advantage then?
And not to be too solipsistic, how are we sure that the e-version is the most up to date? We all know that the e-version is, but how do you actually show it? This gets doubly hard with the epubs, since there's no guarantee that the printing on a print codex isn't newer than the epub version. The whole thing is designed to be a giant mess until they get the FAQs back up, hopefully with some of the newer books fixed too.

As of about December GW Digital Editions is putting an "Updated" date on the last page of the codex.

US customer service has stated the FAQ section will return "shortly" but could not provide any more specific information. So, I'm going to guess August 2014

Did the FAQ's have dates or versions on them? This could cause a few issues if they let their FAQ support die.
Guys will be running around with different versions. I don't remember if there were dates or versions, I quit printing them out a long time ago as it was easy to look them up on my mobile device.

which is all well and good, but you have no verifiable source with which to confirm nor deny the FAQ's legitimacy. as such they are all invalidated (technically) until GW either put them back up, or make it clear that it isn't going to happen.
personally I advocate calm and let them do what they need to do, in the intrum, you should have the basics of how the game functions, use the most important rule and have some fun for a little bit

And they forget some major ones like Missile Drone allotment and recosting the Helbrute.

Nah, heldrake was 100% fine before they faqed it to a turret. If they tone it back or set it to like 90 degrees front cone it will be fine.

Very few players ever complained about GW releasing FAQs. Its the lack of them, or the inclusion of 'clarifications' that are actually changes that irritates people.

guess you missed the endless " GW can't proofread" complaints evertime an FAQ comes out? or when one doesn't come out the " GW hates this army"?

Yes, people complain about the necessity of FAQs that results from GW's lack of quality control. Not about FAQs bring released when they are required.
There's a distinction there, but given your apparent need to brand the entire forum as mindless GW haters, I don't expect you to see it.

Sounds promising... I'm not gonna hold my breath, but I certainly hope that the GW people who work on updating all the faqs spend some time on forums such as this to find the biggest holes that require plugging... a search of topics that run 3 pages or more should do the trick...

They won't do that. They have an FAQ email for that reason.
