Why a DH second Edition?

[Why a DH second Edition?]

Well, if you people are saying the final version is very similar to the black crusade rules then I am open to giving it a try.

 

What I would like to see is a unification of all of their 40k rpg lines. That would be nice.

 

From what I was reading initially, it looked like they were going to do the same thing as they did with the WH fantasy 3rd edition. I hated that. I own all of their second edition books, but I have not spent one cent on their 3rd edition. Not planning to either.

 

I apologize if I spoke from ignorance.

Furthermore, I am not a troll. Just a gamer who does not like what some of the biggest companies that I use to really love have done to some of my favorite games.

 

Perhaps some of my hostility is carry over from Wizards of the Coast and how they destroyed D&D, and maybe I will cool down and actually buy something from FFG again. Who is to say? I can't predict the future. Maybe FFG will surprise me, maybe they will redeem themselves.

 

Posting on this site was a risk, most of the people who are posting here frequently are hard core FFG loyalists who viciously attack anyone who does not blindly agree with their party line. I don't care, I had something to say and I wanted FFG to read it.

I have seen only the first beta, but from what I have read here in the forums people say that the final version is not much different.

 

I was not only referring to miniatures but also to 'game accessories' like cards and chips and such, the kind of lame things they did with the newest version of WH Fantasy. SUPER LAME!

 

I understand how publishing works and I understand business. Very well actually.

 

If FFG were coming out with a new edition that unified all the rules from ALL the WH40K lines, made the system somewhat backward compatible with the older books, and kept the feel of the game more like an RPG instead of some other Frankenstein concoction like they did with WH fantasy, then I would have applauded them.

 

From what I know, that is not what they did.

 

As for all the idiots on the thread who attacked me for having a VALID point of view, they can just...well, use your imagination...if you have one.

I know this topic has been covered before, and naysayers are ruthlessly criticized by FFG loyalists but I have something to say and then I will give FFG one final one finger salute.

 

People say the new rules are better, that may be true but it is a matter of opinion. I don't think they are better but they are different. They certainly rely more on miniatures and a whole assortment of accessories which I am sure FFG will be more than happy to sell to us. As a matter of fact I am positive that this is the whole reason for the second edition.

 

THEY PULLED THE SAME STUNT WITH WARHAMMER FANTASY!

 

I love the war hammer universe, both the fantasy and 40K, but I am done being fleeced for my cash by FFG.

 

I let them get away with their cheesy behavior when they released all the 40k rpg's as separate books when it should have been one unified rule system for all the lines: DH, RT, OW, DW, etc, but the books were so well done and I love the setting so much I let it slide.

 

NOT THIS TIME!

 

Wizards of the Coast pulled the same stunt with D&D 4th edition, and their fan base is still punishing them for it.

 

FFG, you have betrayed the trust of your customers all to make a buck. There is only one price for betrayal, and that is...HAH! Scared you didn't I?  I will not give you the same punishment that the emperor visits upon traitors, but for a money grubbing business it is almost as bad...I wont be handing you my money anymore. Perhaps enough other people will have the sense to do the same as me. Then your company will die the slow death of all businesses that make huge mistakes.

 

I am done with you.
