6/10, slightly too obvious but good try.

Oh how I wish GW actually cared about the community's input on rules and models, allas I have seen too many shoddy rule sets to believe this to be true.

Honestly guys, they're using an outside group to make AoS work, they're engaging the community, and used FB to do the full 7th FAQ. If this was the GW of 5 years ago, I'd laugh at the "troll". In this current setup? Could be legit.

Tanks and monsters have high wounds but "degrade/weaken" like AoS please. Weapons weaken armor instead of an "all or nothing" on armor saves; similar to old WHFB. Thank you
-TTW85

Is this true? I doubt it but might as well make a serious post in case it is.

A problem the rules completly fail to adress is the size of a game beyond the point size. Nothing stops someone to, for instance, bring a superheavy to a 500p game. Hence I'd like to see a "level" of playing. It could be called alpha, beta and gamma missions, or something else entirely, and have the mission levels restrict things like special characters and superheavies. Something like no lords of war and limited allies in a alpha mission, some restrictions on fliers in similar in beta missions and no restrictions in gamma missions could be a possibility. This would help FLGS host tournaments for diffrent levels of players, make new players have a clear goal of what models to start off with and collection goals, and finally it would make organizing games with strangers a far easier prospect. Today this issue is not adressed at all and left completly to the players. I doubt it would influence the sales of bigger miniatuers since people will always want the big shiny things, while giving the less economically able or newer players a chance to start. It could also work as a clear indicator of GW stepping up a fight against power creep in the game.

Anyway, I doubt this is a real honest user but might as well post this. If nothing else it adresses a problem I've seen floating around and seen a few diffrent solutions to. FOC is obsolete theese days, and point values is simply inadequate at keeping the games size/balance/power in check.

0/10 apply yourself. Go post on your official facebook page you are looking for feedback on sites if you expect anyone to believe this. And you dont. But enjoy your suckers.

In case this is real:

Please consider making a genral update of all armies if and when a new edition is created.
If Formations continiue to be a thing - they need to be provided for all Factions and where appropriate costed.
Try to use Special Rules sparingly and not make slightly different versions of what are essdentially the same thing
Scrap the Psychic phase.
Reduce the random element of the rules - a few random things are fun - large amounts of randomness are not. EG make Warlord Traits somehting you select and /or pay for.
Make a general list of artefacts available to all like WFB 8th Edition. More can be inlcuded in the Codex's if they continue but a general list of basic ones is sensible
Split campaign books into fluff and rules
Adjust the WS table so that a model with twice or more WS hits on a 2+ and is hit on a 5 or even 6+

I would like to believe this but there's no proof that its real

Surely most of the stuff for 8th Edition is already decided?
Wouldn't it be a bit late to be looking for input at this date if this was real.

I really wish this could be real, but how asking us for input in what we want to see and have it ready by June with all the testing and what not, I can't see this be done.

Just look how long it took just to put out the FAQs. There is now way you can have all our input taken into account with a new edition.

Also it's the weekend and I am sure, GW gives their employees time off except who work on the GW website.

So if this is legit, then I am sorry for doubting you. Maybe mention this on your Warhammer page as proof. Until then I feel this is not legit. Would love to be proven wrong.

On the extremely off-chance that something like this is real...

Refocus the game scale, decide if you want it to be a skirmish game, a company battle game, or a mass battle game, the mishmash of all of these doesn't work well. Trying to worry about what type of blade an individual infantry model has on their power-weapon, or playing out a duel between basic infantry squad leaders, when fighting a battle with 150 other models on the table including a dozen tanks and a titan, is ridiculous.

Ditch the formations and freebies. Things like the Decurion, War Convocation, Battle Company, etc all offer hundreds of points worth of free benefits...for no cost, thus allowing one player to have a several hundred point advantage over another for no good reason. Formations also really promote spam heavier than previous editions did.

Tone down power levels in general, and cease giving gargantuan benefits to half the factions just because it sounds cool on paper. We don't need 2+ rerollable invul saves, 35pt Fearless T6 infantry with D weapons, armies with hundreds of points of free upgrades, armies composed entirely of superheavy walkers, armies with Troops units able to redeploy across the board in a single turn or pump out more firepower than most other factions, etc don't help enhance gameplay.

Cut down on randomness just for its own sake. We don't need every objective or piece of terrain to have its own distinct mysterious in-game effect, this adds little to the actual game but adds a lot of record keeping and time, we don't need random warlord traits every single game, stuff like this.

Seriously do some actual playtesting, too often, in fact almost with every single release, there are things that people can identify as being non-functional or overpowered with just a simple reading of the unit rules, and that these make it into publishing is ridiculous.

Prune the special rules, we don't need each and every unit to have its own special rules, especially special rules that just grant other special rules or variants thereof.

Don't leave armies sitting around for multiple editions without updates, particularly while some armies get multiple updates in the same timespan.

There's far more to add, spending some serious time reading through threads on these forums should be a marketing goldmine of free customer feedback.

Also, stop trying to make 40k art in the vein of WoW or League of League of Legends, 40k's visual base lies in that 80's heavy metal theme stuff and dark, often surreal imagery. Much of the sharp, colorful stuff that's just direct copies of the plastic kits that's being pushed now doesn't really feel like "warhammer" art and takes away from the presence of the larger universe.

GW, to confirm that you are wool you say you are, please make reference to this community outreach by posting something about it on the Warhammer Community site. Then we'll know you're legit and not just trolling us

TRUMP 40,016, MAKE THE IMPERIUM GREAT AGAIN!

Please let us know if they reply. Being the weekend I don't think anyone is there right now. It's what like 8:17pm there now? So I am sure nobody is working now so no reply until Monday.

How is that username not already taken? If only this was real.

I stopped reading after the complaining about Decurion to be honest.

Ok...did you want to have a conversation about any of my points or just leave a snide internetism once you saw something you didn't like before promptly stopping reading?

My issue with the Decurion is the way it interacts with the Reclamation Legion rules on top of the new RP rules resulting in a dramatic synergistic increase in survivability, for zero additional cost, well beyond what many armies are capable of dealing with, and getting 13pt Necron Warriors that rival 40pt terminators for general durability. Not an issue unique to Necrons, but an example of issues with the game in general.

Terminators haven't ever been good, so if you're complaining that Terminators are less durable than Warriors (and Terminators are already less durable than Tactical Marines to anything outside AP3), it is a nonsense complaint.

Also you're giving up OS to gain those benefits (Relentless doesn't really come into play often though nice when it does, but MTC is always neat). So you lose the objective game to anyone and the army isn't exactly killy to begin with.
Seriously, the complaints about Decurion are super overdone at this point and by people who aren't really playing against them in the first place, or the game in general.

Take the suggestions about Age of Sigmar.

-Simplify the resolution methods used in the game.

-Have ap reduce armor saves instead of all or nothing.

-have cover reduce chance to hit instead of acting as another type of save.

-have invulnerable saves counter AP instead of being a different type of save... maybe create a minimum save? So a terminator would be a 2+ armor save that can be reduced with ap to a minimum of 5+/cannot be negated

-Have toughness be a target number and strength a bonus to you dice so we don't have to look at charts to try and figure out whats a success and not on every roll.

But also, and I know this is unlikely to happen, get rid of decurion style formations and formations in general. Use the Horus Heresy system of a single detachment with supplementary Low, Fortification, and allies.

Introduce rites of war. They allow for far more interesting list building without the unbalanced free bonus rule handouts of formations.

I would love to see each codex come with 3-4 rites of war for the faction and each supplement introduce new ones for whatever armies are involved. You can constantly expand the way people build lists without pigeon holing them into using the same basic formations to maximize their decurion bonuses.

Terminators haven't ever been good, so if you're complaining that Terminators are less durable than Warriors (and Terminators are already less durable than Tactical Marines to anything outside AP3), it is a nonsense complaint.

My point wasn't about Terminator's overall ability, it was that 13pt Necron Warriors become as durable (or moreso in many cases) as what ostensibly are an iconic resilient assault unit (that everyone is familiar with for the sake of the example), that cost multiple times as much, and pay nothing for that extra resiliency. We can pick any number of other examples, but that was my point.

Also you're giving up OS to gain those benefits (Relentless doesn't really come into play often though nice when it does, but MTC is always neat).

ObSec is very situational, and I've never seen Necrons lose a game because of it alone. The only time it kicks in is if an opponent holds an objective, you have a unit close enough to contest, and your unit doesn't have ObSec, and has to happen at such a time that actually matters (e.g. doesn't matter if you're playing an Eternal War mission and you're on turn 3), and that objective has to make the difference between victory and defeat. Does that happen sometimes? Sure, but not often. Does it happen with regularity such that it's a meaningful downside that routinely results in losses for Necron Decurion armies? No.

Relentless and MTC is actually also pretty clutch, being able to rapid-fire something and then follow that up with an assault has lost me more than one game against Necrons where they either didn't have to make a tactical decision as to one action or the other or were just able to get that much more killing power with CSM's and IG.

So you lose the objective game to anyone and the army isn't exactly killy to begin with.

Necrons may not have D weapons sprouting everywhere or heaps of long range heavy weapons, but they don't lack for killing ability (they just have to be within 24" to use it), particularly against armies that don't have gobs of resilience themselves. Dark Eldar, IG, most CSM armies, etc.

Seriously, the complaints about Decurion are super overdone at this point and by people who aren't really playing against them in the first place, or the game in general.

I've played against the Decurion many times, watched other games in real life and on line. The Decurion may not be the most broken thing in the game at this point, but that doesn't mean its balanced either, I still haven't seen an IG army beat a Decurion necron army in...2 years at this point, and ultimately it was just one of a number of different examples, hence why I didn't just stop at the Decurion.

The big main point was that formations giving powerful freebies is awful game design. which seems to be missed here.

.

I've never seen Obsec swing a game at all.
Even with playing lots of maelstrom games I've seen/played.

And in case this is really GW asking:
Stop giving all the best goodies to the Armies of the Imperium, the Xenos/Chaos forces need to be a legitimate threat on the table

Is this is legit, post Squats on twitter.

In case this is legit, and because I'm too lazy to have to type it out later, here's some suggestions.

Also, give points costs to Formations, so you actually have to buy all of the special rules.

Limit it so that you can only take a LoW in 2k+ games, and only 1 formation per FoC

Redesign necron vehicles so that they actually have armor. A race obsessed with immortality and self preservation should not have vehicles that are basically advertise their weak points. What is this, metal gear?

Limit randomization across the board. We have random warlord traits, random missions, random psi, random C'tan powers, random vehicle results, random D table results. So much random, stop it.

There are currently too many special rules. A lot of them overlap, are just modified versions of existing rules, or really have no real effect on the time. Either configure them so that they actually have an impact, or start culling.

Introduce a reaction mechanic. That seems to be a thing nowadays. You should probably introduce your own twist on it, so that the competition doesn't have an advantage. Overwatch and GtG was a good start, but you can probably go further.

Nerf grav. Too effective for what it does, and the philosophy is stupid. It is currently punishing players for investing in troops with good armor, and its too ubiquitous to be considered a specialist weapon.

Rework blast weapons so that they are actually effective. The 4th edition way of doing it, where you roll to hit first, then scatter, was good. Also, small blasts should only scatter D6, due to the difference in size. Large blast isn't as punished by 2d6 as its small blast cousin.

Make vehicles tougher. At the moment they are just unarmored monsters, that could be picked off with mass mid strength weapons. An multilaser should not be more cost effective at taking out a vehicle than missile launcher.

decide if you want the game to be skirmish (like in Necromunda), company sized (4th ed warhammer 40k), or mass battle (Epic). ATM the game tried to be all of those, and such a schizophrenic approach is not healthy design.

Keep 40k's grim design. 40k is known for its visual style from the 80s and 90s. As of recently it's becoming more colorful and cartoony, like something from Warcraft. That is not healthy for the overall setting and tone.

More content in the codices would be nice. In the old codices you had missions (such as in the 3rd ed necron codex), alternate army lists (6th ed Lizardmen southlands army), articles on tactics and modelling tips. That's absent nowadays, and that's a pity.

Bring back the old version of RP. At the moment its just a version of FNP. It lacks the counter play of its predecessor, as before all you had to do was focus fire, and its predecessor was also a reference to the iconic We'll be Back. The new version just doesn't have that same feel to it that was unique to the necrons.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, not magic!

Bring the Squats back or gtfo.

If this is legit GW, I feel sorry for the poor soul that has to read through the ensuing 12 pages of bickering.

yeah me too.

If it was legit, all I'd want to say is please simplify some of the USR's and delete redundant ones.

Highlights that are good:
1. Psychic phase is great.

2. I actually like Lords of War and Super-Heavies being in normal games (as long as appropriately point costed).

3. Maybe review the Allies Matrix for a bit more balanced allying across factions (poor Tyranids).

dear GW, paper is OP please nerf, Scissors are fine and anyone who has trouble with them needs to Learn to play

- Signed Rock

If this is real then i would like the following suggestion:

- Make cover be a modifier to rolls instead of another save

- USR...... take out redundant/Copy ones

- Take out the CAD and replace it with something that is both flexible and has other effects other than Objec secure (I want to have a shifting meta)

- Review Allies

- Also label parts of the new book? Like i can just look at the top corner and be a colour code for different stuff (Phases, Units ect.)

- Take out at least some random stuff.... too much randomness (But not too much else there wont be that sense of luck in the game)
