You have to love the suspense! Especially with everyone suspecting foul play from every direction be it players, flg, or people who dont even play the game!

Again, who's expecting foul play?

Lol have you read this thread at all? If you have you would not have asked that question.

If you have something negative to say that's okay... But spamming it every post gets tired real fast.

it's been tired for quite some time now.

It makes sense the boys would take their time to get this right. I'm ok with it.

Giga,

Their signals from the Frontline Podcast is on Twitch. You don't have to have seen it live. You can go to:

http://www.twitch.tv/frontlinegaming_tv/profile

It's currently their most recent video.

I didnt say anything negative you interpreted what I said as negative. If he were to look throughout the thread he would run accross several post where players other than myself have voice concerns or pointed out flaws with the current voting system.

I have been rather conservative lately similar to their approach to rulings!

All people are saying is that this is more than a little bit of a dramatization. And revelling in it is hardly becoming.

Some people are apparently intent to just rag on the only group of people who have made a concerted effort to make 40k into a good competitive game, instead of the beer and pretzels that the brits at GW clearly think it is. It's your call to either join the naysayers or to join the efforts of those trying to make 40k better. I know which side I'm on

If they had read the thread they'd have seen a mod warning to stop with the random conspiracy "foul play is afoot" stuff. If you have nothing constructive (last warning, this stuff isn't constructive), then don't post on this thread. We had about half a page of alright discussion before it started to derail again, so this is the last warning

I didn't see the mod warning so just to be safe I am leaving this thread!

Flg has likely been around about as long as nova iirc, and all of those events have had their share of complaints/internet crapstorms over the years.

Motyak is right - this kind of discussion isn't productive. Probably best to table it until something happens on Monday (at which point I fully expect the talk to start up again and the thread to get locked down for not listening to the mods)

So why is there such a backlash when someone complains about ITC?

There usually was something of a backlash from supporters of those events, the difference is in scale. Those are all single events that happen once a year, their main supporters are the TOs/staff/etc. the itc is not a single event, it's more of a...gaming club/regional community. It's a latge group of people that feel that they have ownership/involvement/are part of something.

Guys what is the one question you really hope go one way compared to the other option?

Me personally I hope Ghostkeels get 3 uses of counter measure. It just seems fair I mean before they buy any of the upgrades its 390 for 3 uses, and their gun is either a small blast melta shot or 6 str 7 shots.

Side Note: Mods on this site are amazing!

I'm hoping Gargantuans don't get toe in cover.

Yeah, that would be a huge blow to the wraithknight, it would will probably still be the best unit in the game but it will be a little less daunting.

It's just obnoxious how Gargantuans and by extension MC get cover saves for simply standing in a ruin.

And I say this as a Tyranid main player.

Must be quite the large shipment that needed to unloaded all weekend . No signals or poll results.

Oh man can we end that line of thinking us nid players already have it bad enough without hurting our "little" MCs!

Hehe....I agree....my Nids would not have a chance without toe in....

Signals is available on their Twitch Channel. They gave partial results, the closer votes required verification of emails before announcing the results.

Cool, lets watch their twitch so we can get the results!

I would love for them to tell us the results of the things they know, they can still be extremely careful with the other results.

CKO - Let's just wait for the results to be posted, please!

You said that so politely lol but, you are right lets wait for the results!

Note that they didn't say what kind of shipment it was...Maybe it was a shipment of beer, and it took them all weekend to put it away.

So now that the results have been posted, I think we can all cease with the sky is falling. I play Tau and the vote literally went exactly how I voted except for the Corsairs rule (I thought they could use it in overwatch as well but oh well haha)

Pretty decent results but what is the point of the Piranha formation now?

If you cannot regain models there is no seeker missiles nor drones you can restore!

Can someone tell me how to take advantage of this formation?

Or has the piranha formation became the first formation ever to be made useless by our voting process!

To be fair I am sure there will be unhappy tau about the piranha rulings.
And it's essentially it's a double nerf to eldar with corsairs and wraithknights taking a hit.
It also sounds like chaos armies got a decent boost.

The votes were all mostly clear with no real 50/50 vote. Overall this seems good for 40k as a whole although I'm kinda worried about what shenanigans can be pulled off with legacies on knights as I haven't seen anyone play with those combos before especially things like essentially never failing a psychic power again or crazy high invul on a knight (although I don't think that combo will work).

The piranha formation works exactly how the ork air armada works now. You regain hull and missiles and drones. You enter the board let loose drones, fire missiles, jink to your hearts content as it doesn't matter and leave the board the next turn. Come back the next turn and rinse and repeat except if a piranha dies you are down that model. Before people were going to completely ignore this formation as it was near impossible to kill all 3 piranha with jink saves and if you didn't kill all three you wasted all your shots because it comes back in full again. Now they might hit the formation with antiair and hope they do enough hull to kill a piranha. It's not a bad formation but it's not great either.
