Somewhat on topic of DOW, lately I've been tempted to pick up Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. Maybe I'm just not used to online games but a $15/month subscription fee seems a bit steep doesn't it?

All respectable MMOs have a subscription fee. That is they way producers learn to get lazy and screw up communities after earning too much cash from these subscriptions.
AoR seems fine from the beta so far, I'll wait for the release to see if I'll buy it and quit WoW.

You must have more money than I have to subscribe to both. I guess my biggest concern is that I'd feel teathered to just one game.

Well, well, looks like Relic is finally going to patch Soulstorm. Looks like they haven't been slouching either. According to forums, the patch should be released some time this week. You'll have to forgive me if I have my doubts.
For the life of me I still can't figure out why they decreased the Immortals resurrection ability. Not like anybody relies on "We'll Be Back!" to win any battles... Thankfully the Necrons got a little love and the research costs were decreased a smidge. Now if they could only find a way to make warriors and wraiths viable end-game units...

Heh nice, hope there will be animation fixes too...
Since I don't use Vespid Rushes, I honestly hate people who use it  The half recharged thingy is very welcome.

Reaver Jetbike build time increased to 2seconds
Huh? How much?
Hope it's much because those things kick my ass me online!
Quote:

Hell yeah! No more super grenade Cultists knocking people over all the time 
Quote:

This patch really seems to benefit me...
Quote:
Skyray Gunships now have a fire on the move penalty
Oops... seems like I can't abuse this anymore...
Quote:

Huh, they have their own soundset? Awesome!
Well, I mostly care about Tau, as you may have noticed...
_______________________________________
Won a 2 vs 2 game today... really fun One of the losers was screaming "OMG I can't believe you let a noob like my teammate play!"
I hate such people, on all my games I always write "All welcome" and use auto teams, I don't care who I'm teamed with.
I saved the replay of that match, me and my teammate told eachother what we were doing and used our faction's strengths to help each other.
The so called "pro" who called his teammate a "silly noob" didn't say a word to his teammate...

On the Relic News forum they mentioned that Sluggas actually have randomized Ork heads, just like the IG guardsmen have different helmets and stuff.
I can't see why they haven't used that feature, it's just not activated, it would really bring some variety to the Orks...

I've had enough, from now on I'll only play against people I know...
Ok, so I join a 2 vs 2 match... I notice that there's a guy with 0 games but I don't care, everyone's welcome imo.
So I get teamed up with this guy... the first thing he says is "you go for the Chaos guy"
Me: "How bout working together instead?"
"No, we need to split." This guy apparently refuses to listen...
About 1 minute later he screams: "Alright, let's rock!" and runs of and rushes (!) the chaos guy (!) with 3 guardsmen squads and 1 commander.
Me: "No wait."
"No time to wait." And he continues to the enemy base, where he gets slaughtered by melee cultists while his commander is tied up by the Chaos Lord.
"OMFG, thanks a lot..."
First of all... you don't ******* guard rush a chaos player...! secondly, if you're gonna rush, tell your teammate you're doing so before you run off, your teammate needs time to prepare too. And I've never seen a IG player rush before, IG is supposed to tech to vehicles before attacking... or use turrets or LP2 as support while your guardsmen use grenade launchers..
I had to help him, so I sent the little force I had as support, but my tactic is to defend myself until I get pathfinders... so I build a lot of Plasma Generators to tech...
I can't stand more of these people...

Yeah I know... I feel a bit silly but I got so damn angry.
Not because of the fact that he wasn't a good IG player, just the fact that he was so damn rude...
Anyway, I'm over it. But I won't play with people I don't know anymore.
