You seriously mean it's like "trade based on creation of items from clay" not "act of poem composition" or you are so inept in English? Or is it a meme?

And, while I always opposed forwarding the setting, like you have been told:

It's not going forward now, but downhill.

Do you mind justifying the "going downhill" statement in a non-emotional way?

>>51410851
>US votes for Trump and then trashes their cities because he won

It's almost like different strokes for different folks.

I never asked for the setting to move on, just operate on different eras than 2 minutes to midnight. They crammed everything to the very end so is it any wonder it has become crowded? Introduce events, campaigns, etc. further back.

>certain people want a plot advancement
>by the time said advancement happens almost every intelligent person in the company has quit and been replaced by drooling retards who barely grasp their own fucking setting

Well, we all know nothing bad came out of advancing the plot of WHFB, right. No armies were squatted, the entire rules weren't revamped, the game wasn't shit for a long time, etc.

>>51414322
you're right, nothing bad did come out of it. we got a fresh new game, all the armies (including tomb kings and brettonians) got updated rules. all the armies got upgraded at the same time so that some semblance of balance happened and most importantly we got fresh new blood into the game while losing all the salty grognards who had turned it into their private little club.

Chambers was a faggot cheeselord that wrote the insane faggotry that was the spacewolves codex in 4th or 5th edition i forget which, it was super cheese bullshit. He went on to work for the cancer that is blizzard and works now doing balancing and unit creation for star craft which is oh so well known for its awesome balance. Guy is a penis muncher.

>>51414667

I play mostly FoW, there wasn't really ever an AoS or WHFB community at my store.
>You've still got your models and rule books.
would you say epic is a living miniature's game
or BFG?
I wouldn't and i have a big guard force in it and i can tell you, they've lost it. there will be a community but you have to know people around to play it.
or rather because you'd be playing with them and only them, you'd have to like them enough to get invited to their or invite them to your home to play.
>What difference does it make when the setting you seem to love so much was never changing anyway
imagine, right now AOS was discontinued as a rule system and WHFB returned, you couldn't play it at battle bunkers and you had to square your round bases.
imagine imagine the butthurt in your community, since you admit you prefer AoS to WHFB would you like the rule set turned into something you don't like.
Do you have a group of friends who play it religiously with to play the same games with the same armies against until you either give up or leave.
Just a thought

also
the setting never changing is not an argument.
an unsupported game's community is subject to atrophy

>>51410851

The main complaint is the poor story writing. Also the obvious hand of lets sell models behind decisions as well as the fear of AOS crappening infesting the game.

GW's favorite character is Mary Sue. They like to retcon shit or just forget about how their own lore is supposed to work. Everything has to be over the top EXTRA BIG ASSES FRIES epic. There is no push or pull to warfare and nothing to keep players invested in the setting. No one important seems to die dispite their conflicts being written in a way that only the characters matter. Yes a Tau Commander died, but he only did because no one gave a shit about him and the rest of that campaign was straight up Mary Sue land. Creed should have died on Cadia.

There is the worry of squatting factions which GW just loves now. Most would not complain that Cadia was destroyed if the writing was top notch. But, hey instead here is a bunch of crap we threw together and oh bye bye faction identity.

Agreed, the ending seemed like a rather cheap way to keep Creed alive when it should've ended like that bullshit good story where he sacrifices himself to trap Abaddon.

Oh yeah, and Cadia, the unbreakable fortress world, fuckin epitomy of the Imperial Guard, just gone. Fuckin reeeeee.

At least Sisters got some air time (that's the best we can hope for these days).

>>51414667
Starcraft is the most balanced RTS in the market.

Fuck off supcom fag.

What do people mean by "the lore is going forward?" I don't play 40k, I have no idea what the lore has been doing all this time if people are still buying these plastic soldiers. Was it just sitting there, existing, as mere backstory until now?

>>51416483
Yes.

>>51416483

I mean, hey DotA has just that one man and people keep playing it forever.
Counter Strike had what? Like five?

>>51410851
There's a difference between "advancing the story" and "blowing shit up". Had Cadia been simply captured by chaos, the story would have advanced with the possibility of further advancement. Chaos could use cadia as a staging point, or the Imperium could try to retake it. "Lel it exploded" doesn't advance the story besides removing a popular element from the lore.

>>51410851
I think you misread buddy.
/tg/ was scared that their advancing will mess up.
So let me clear up your phrase.
/tg/ want GOOD storyline advancement.
And considering Age of Sigmar, people are a little scared.
So calm down, let GW finish the advancement, and then judge /tg/ for being hypocritical or not.
If it turns out well, /tg/ will love it and be happy.

>Supcom isn't as good as you make it out to be.
I never made it out to be good, no one here has.
I'm just indicated that you hold unnecessary hatred of it. The game is quite solid and hits my checklist
actually it is, no alwaysonline drm, a remix of Total annihilation. it's a damn solid game

He's a story consultant for blizzard and doesn't have shit to do with the balance team (and despite all of its flaws compared to the original, SC2 is still the most successful and by far the most balanced game in the genre so I'm not sure what the fuck you're talking about there either).

>>51425388

>>51416764

>"Lel it exploded" doesn't advance the story besides removing a popular element from the lore.

But it does, the pylons on Cadia were seemingly the main thing keeping the Eye of Terror contained, with them gone it's now free to expand.

>>51416764
You are really a degenerate human being. The lowest of the low. How could you do this? GW spent years writing fabulous fluff for you to read and yet you don't and then complain about it based on your misunderstanding or missing information.

You ungrateful bastard. With the Cadian Pylons removed, the Eye of Terror is rapidly expanding. The Cadian Gate has already been filled out and it's heading towards Terra. Eventually and pretty soon, the whole galaxy will be consumed by it unless something else happened. This is all underlined in the ''Crimson Path'' lore which has been out for like 5 years. So basically, Abaddon is moving his staging point with him as his crusade advances. The Eye and its numberless daemons are following in his wake. Whatever world in their path is fodder for the daemons.

Not enough advancement of the story for you, cuntbag? Seriously, GW should vet their fanbase. So these kind of fans that don't appreciate them would fuck off. They did so in WHFB. 40K needs it as well.

So, who will be in the:

Ork triumqvirate.
