    I left because I was told they didn't want to play with me so I am playing something else instead.

    what? who? in any event, how can i properly snub you if you don't say hi?

    You asked where I was and I said where and why.

    right, but who is the 'they' in your post, and who told you, and why didn't "they" want to?

    give us a timeframe that you can hit. You say "sometime in the next two weeks"? Fine!

    We were shooting for Monday, that didn't happen, I said Wednesday would be the earliest possible date, and we're hoping to deliver on Thursday. 4 day window there, a bit tighter than two weeks.

    You seem to be missing my point.
    Giving precise dates and missing them doesn't instill faith in your peons.
    Instead, all you do is strengthen the notion that you're incompetent.
    I'm really wanting to like you croak, but you're making it rather difficult.

    The alternative is indeed blowing smoke up asses. And while I smoke, I don't think I'd like that particular taste.

    Personally, I'd rather be off by a few days from time to time, rather than give some nebulous prognostication just so my ass is covered, and leaving your ass smoke-filled.

    but being vague and procrastinatory is exactly what public figure heads are required to do!
    you don't give precise information, because you'll be held accountable even IF you fulfill your promises!

    It just dawned on me that this discussion is pointless.
    I would go back to asking about your opinion on carnifexes being repairable, but you'll probably just ignore that. again.

    I am excited for the patch.

    Thank you for your time and effort croak.

    Also I was thinking about stormboyz today and how they could be improved. I don't think a knockdown on landing would be fair only because orks are so melee heavy. It would be a huge problem to use them as a knockdown unit so you could more easily slaughter things in melee. With Assualt marines, they are generally only one unit of them (not always, but still) so their knockdown doesn't immediately lead to rape by a melee swarm (unlike tyranid warriors with adrenal glands).

    I think allowing stormboys to jump twice in a row would be fair, but make it take their whole energy bar so they can't abuse it. They would have to wait until their energy is full again to double jump.

    They are still fragile, but would be perfect for hit and run as I believe they were designed to be, while the other boyz get stuck in.

    Stormboys don't have energy, they use your Waaagh!/Zeal/Psychic Power/Biomass resourse...

    All ork special abilites do, except for the all the commanders' abilities, along with the Kommando squad's steath and grenades, and even then the Kommando squad has a Waaagh! ability as well.

    Just a quick aside, but isn't the knockdown effect confirmed in the manual?

    how about you fuck off and stop telling others how to behave.
    And speaking of information:

    most developers tend to release patch notes prior to or on the same day as the release. From what has been mentioned by croak it would appear that we'll be getting the full list a full week later.

    There are a few exceptions to the rule, Kommandos and Stormboyz being the only ones I can think of.

    Using their suicidal ability for the explosion+knockback actually costs waaagh! resource (insult to injury here...), but their jump costs 50 energy. It's a bit pointless currently. The cooldown on jump is like 30 seconds, so a stormboy actually has no way to deplete his energy. He can't jump enough to outweigh his energy regeneration.

    Such a surplus could be useful against energy draining heroes. I guess I'll never learn until I actually fight with stormboyz though.
    Just a quick aside, but isn't the knockdown effect confirmed in the manual?

    Heh, you said manual.
