Dark Elf FAQ update

Post by Dark Alliance »

I have been "reliably" informed by GW that the DE FAQ is due on their website this week.

Watch out for it boys and girls :D

As it has become custom for our dear GW employees!! (Who really aren't THAT bad ... at least not THAT bad :roll: ).

Added:

BUT they really have cleaned things up a bit since back when they seriously didn't give a FAQ!


Mod edit: double post content added. Double post removed. Do not double post, use edit function instead. Or there will be violence.

Maybe they're just lazy? No, I'm kidding, but I figured it'd be funny to throw that in there.

I'm sure they'll update sooner or later, but you guys over in the UK will probably get it sooner than us here in the US.

Hell, as long as they make it clear and there is no confusion about the wording <cough>High Elves<cough>, I'll wait a few more weeks.

However, that doesn't mean I won't complain about it!

The web team is historically poor at posting stuff in a timely manner unfortunately. Seems to have become even worse with the new web site for some reason as well. Not sure why unless they are trying to figure out how to link each question into the online store like everything else... :roll: :lol:

Well the old FAQ is gone and it was there a couple of weeks ago so they must be doing something towards replacing it....I hope. :?

While I trust what DA would have to say on the matter, the people telling him the info are probably about as reliable as, oh... me :lol:

Next year then!

A subtle blend of questions and answers mixed with wry humour and designer insight, gently placed upon the website with the utmost care.

This isn't just a FAQ. This is a GW FAQ.

In other words, it will raise as just as many new questions as it answers?

If only! :roll:
- The GW-FAQ will NOT adress half at least of the questions raised in D.net FAQ collection thread. :evil:
On the other hand, half of the GW-FAQ WILL deal with questions never raised here. :shock:
- If the rulebook is unclear between two interpretations, the FAQ will select the least realistic. If both are equally realistic, the FAQ will impose a third one (as mentioned in the "Murphy's" thread). :?

While you're probably correct in the last two points you raised :-), the actual list of questions from D.Net were included in the list Direwolf submitted which I also posted in this thread. I don't know that all of them will be answered, but hopefully the majority will be.

Whats taking GW so long to post the FAQ. Its been 2 wks since they stated they would post one within the week.

Hopefully the errata will include that the Web of shadows is supposed to be 25pts to at least make it viable for I cannot see how they could have thought 50pts was right for it. :?

The errata should just remove the web of shadows from the book. Forever...
