There are only a certain number of times you can announce you are rage quitting before people stop caring Regash.
It's once, if you were wondering.

Can you accept the possibility that the rules may change but you still like it? Or like it more?Regash wrote:I played WHFB. Rules changed. I didn't like it.

Then we actually start playing it, stuff works, and we forget about all the outrage as the changes become the new normal.

If BB goes the same route, so be it.
Luckily, we have a lot of alternatives today, fantasy or scifi tabletops as well as board games.

But, like I also said earlier, the f*ck-up with printing has pissed me off already.
I pay good, hard-earned money for a game, what's wrong with expecting a good and hard-worked on product in return?

Questions for your therapist to answer I think.

I couldn't care less about your opinion.

Aww, do you actually think I care about yours ?
Try shutting up. No one gives a damn about what you think the world owes you or why you are upset today.

Well, at least if we do garner any new players they will have a welcoming, well moderated place to come and discuss things..

Re: Anyone ready to change their anti-GW stance yet?

Oh, no, I happen to agree with you there. It's a screwup that is unfortunately going to leave a bad taste in people's mouths and contribute to some negative reviews (especially since we've got several days since we had rules leaks before the errata are seen.) I played 40k and was always frustrated by GW's inability to release a codex (at least during the times I played) that didn't have at least a few errata. (I later switched to digital versions, which at least are updated regularly to fix these issues.)Regash wrote:That is why I said that I'll wait and see for the rulebook in my hands.Milo wrote:Can you accept the possibility that the rules may change but you still like it?

But to mitigate that, consider:
1) This is the first release from a new department and development team. As much as we'd like it not to happen, it's not surprising to find a few early cockups.
2) They've recognized the problem, are providing a fix, and have recruited a proof-reading team to clean up future mistakes.

The CRP had hundreds of eyes looking at it and yet the Rat Ogre had the wrong price in the version that was first released. Gremlins are often a tough thing to kill.

Re: Anyone ready to change their anti-GW stance yet?
If the word I used was perceived as offensive, I apologize.
It wasn't my intention to insult.
I call myself that sometimes, so I never thought someone else would think it a bad word.
Anyway, won't happen again.

Re: Anyone ready to change their anti-GW stance yet?
I do understand that mistakes happen. Heck, the gaming company I worked for actually copied the cover from another book and forgot to change the text afterwards!
But each and every book printed will be printed once before the actual production run.
A wrong price for a player? Typos? That is minor stuff, I can live with that.
But actually printing the wrong set of rules and nobody notices?
I don't know...
