What are you talking about? Im sure theres a good bunch of trolling but theres have been some kind of organised attempt?

They flock together. It's not trolling when people are expressing these views. It's what they think. Not organised, didn't ever say that, but still problematic. The guys posting anti-feminist stuff in the FB comments all seem to be married or have daughters which makes it doubly sad. Anyway, merely lamenting, let's not get drawn into a spat here.

That's nice of you to insult people and then say you don't want to get drawn into a spat, very nice.

My main curiosity on this is how will they actually go through the data. 100k entries with a good amount of open ended questions. No matter how you handle it it is going to be a challenge.

But hey, at least they now have an actual number to many things, like "how many people would fill a survery if we had one" even just this can be useful.

Id say you use it as input for that chatbot botnik; then when its a good amalgum of us all you can ask it questions.

"How do we fix the game"

"FIFTH LEGION BEST LEGION"

"feth"

Most likely, the have bought this survey from a company that specializes in that kind of thing and the will evaluate and compile the data for them, probably through some semi-automated process.

Probably.

They'll get a report on glossy paper with colored graphs and pie charts.

"60% of the respondents want lower prices, 44% want plastic sisters, and 13% must be landscapers because they want a return of something called leaf blower?"

"97% love exercise as they mention Squats a lot"

I imagine GW interpreting this data will be hilarious.

“Apparently 23% of respondants want... less Space Marine releases? I assume that means they want more lasweaponry on Primaris.”

“43 people said they want a Citadel Airbrush, 15 want a Citadel Hairbrush”

“5% of respondants want to... set Forge World on fire?”

“60% of respondants want lower prices, 3% misread the question and asked for higher prices”

“60% said to make the rules better, 5% want to make the rules worse, and 35% said they really don’t care but they’ll either defend or hate GW’s decision to the death regardless of what you do.”

“2% of the community wants to buy two characters a boat?”

I want named Slaanesh daemons! We have ONE!! All the others have 3 or 4!
We have The Masque; who is an outcast anyway!
Tzeentch has Scribes, Kairos, Changeling
Khorne has Skarbrand (also an outcast), Karanak and Skulltaker
Nurgle has Epidemius, Ku’Gath (possibly removed?) and the new slug-boy

We have one outcast. Seriously. Bring me a naked KoS in the new box and Azazel, and I’m happy.

I’m skeptical that much will be done with this data. Our company uses Survey Monkey and some of the hair-brained conclusions that come out of it are pretty astonishing. Generally the best information you get out of this sort of survey is what ISN’T working for you - not any why it’s not working an nothing on which to base what to shoot for what WILL work for you.

For the latter, you need a different type of survey/method, as people have a tendancy to push for dream items they really won’t back if you did attempt to appease them.

The best reference to Squats was from an old Citadel Journal where, in answer to "What's happening with the Squats" the response was "Don't you get those after 4 pints and a curry?"

That's gold!

I tried not to complain but give honest feedback. I used the phrases "plastic sisters" & "unsquat my squats" only once.

I did tell them that they've been moving in the right direction and as long as they listen to the survey, they should succeed with their current direction.

This is coming from someone who ditched 40k and wargaming in general for 25yrs and the release of 8th got me hopeful and want to play again.

I'm currently finishing up a couple of forgeworld models that you otherwise wouldn't have purchased without the changes that make 8th excellent.

Are they doing everything right? No, but sure as hell seems like they want to.

So I will continue spending money on their products rather than not.

I remember years ago some rep said something about Squats when asked: there's a clock in GW headquarters that counts down from 24 hours and when it hits 0 they will begin rebooting Squats. But any time anyone in the world mentions Squats, the timer resets. It was a humorous way of saying 'never' but I've always wanted to see a warhammer TV video where someone knocks the clock off the wall and breaks it so it reboots to 0.

I asked for the kits to be a bit more customizable. I was working on blight kings when I did the survey. That kit amazed me for its details but disappointed me a lot about arm orientation and permutation. I said to me that was a step back with respect to the 3rd edition minis.

So... hmmmm... the results where gonna be made public in late February, no?
Or have they give another date?
