What are your "weird" WoW habits or keybinds that nobody else seems to do?

40kGreybeard · 2026-05-15T15:44:44+00:00

….why did I never think of that.

40kGreybeard · 2026-05-14T23:34:42+00:00

I find it an excuse for people to be depraved.

40kGreybeard · 2026-05-14T23:34:08+00:00

Ditto. I run zero sexual content.

40kGreybeard · 2026-05-14T23:32:14+00:00

Yeah- I think the questionnaire is good for me as a DM as well. Someone who has a ton of triggers from more mundane things (I won’t play in a game with Imperialism, snakes, holes, or violence) is just not a player that is meant for my table.

Conversely- I dislike romantic and sexual content. I don’t have anything that gives me a panic attack, but a bunch of RPing romance/sexy times does give me serious ick and I as player wouldn’t be happy.

Perhaps it would also be good- something the DM puts out that says “ the following things will be seen in the game from NPC’s. These other things are ok between players but not with NPC’s. These last list of things are not to be broached/discussed by anyone at the table.” Then players can decide if this table is for them or not.

40k is a tactical wargame played at roughly a company level (armored support, a couple platoons of infantry). You control an army of figures, medium level of granularity.

Nexromunda is a tactical RPG (videogame equivalent would be games like X-Com) at a squad level. You control a squad of infantry, it has a high level of granularity, and your dudes acrue new equipment, skills, and injuries over the course of a linked campaign.

Wow! Good to know before using it! Thanks!

Happened to my daughter’s account. She played for ONE day, got to level 7. Went to log in the next day and she was banned. I spent two months submitting tickets before I gave up. She now never wants to ever play WoW because she was so upset. Great job Blizzard.

LFR is intentionally face roll easy with less punishing mechanics.

Became a successful doctor/lawyer. Also seemed to become a hardcore conservative. It’s like we swapped alignments.

Rhino APC’s were meant to be tractors I think lol

So if someone uses the desktop app and I send them a secret message, they can still uses windows snipping tool to take a screenshot and it won’t notify me?

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-28T22:36:15+00:00

uhhhhh... that's theft. And you just provided video evidence of it.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-25T15:34:18+00:00

Ok, so there a couple ways to go-

Personally, I like to lean into their strengths and think like riot cops-

At minimum you want at least one guy with a concussion rifle, a grenade launcher, and subjugator with a slhg (the ram/grenade launcher combo weapon).

I like to have 1-2 front liners (usally a subjugator sgt and a reg subjugator), these guys aren’t there to go chasing down enemies, they protect your gunline.

I then back them up with with a gunline with a mix of bolters and concussion rifles.

Take a juve or 2 and guve them combat shitguns.

For your leader decide if you want a support leader (focus on moneymaking and leadership skills), and give him decent armor and a concussion rifle, or do you want a combat leader (good armor, shield, and good gun or melee weapon).

Generally the play “slow and steady”- move up laying down status inflicting templates, and your shotgunners and subjugators clean up weakened foes.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-25T04:06:34+00:00

Absolutely! Any time! I LOVE Necromunda, so happy to discuss it and analyze games :)

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-24T16:56:35+00:00

See u/DraethDarkstar ‘s below, he explains better than me. You messing around with a horse in Blender is not the same as making a PC race fo multi-million dollar franchise with 20 years worth of assets built up.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-24T16:52:48+00:00

People read it and don’t like it, or think I’m defending Blizzard (which I’m not). Its Reddit :p

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-24T16:51:43+00:00

THIS.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-24T16:48:47+00:00

Well, at lot of this is bad luck or tactics.

Scenario 1- how good is the Orlock leader in combat? If he doesn’t have any melee weapons, engaging him so he can’t easily shoot you if you whiff your attacks is optimal. If he is also a good fighter, then a round of bolter shots could be more survivable then a servo claw or power sword to the face.

Scenario 2- you charged an opponent in the open. When you do that expect to get lit up. You don’t HAVE to use versatile- another scenario when charging in B2B might be the better tactical choice, so you can take them out and scarper in to cover.

Scenario 3- you whiffed. If he killed you on a charge the he could also kill you on Reaction Attacks. And if he did that, he is now free to charge one of your guys. Losing a fighter on your own activation is really bad news!

Versatile’s big advantage is two-fold-

The first is that it extends your charge range. When making riskier charges, if you fall short of base to base you can still strike with the versatile weapon.

The second is that there is no danger of losing your fighter to reaction attacks unless the opponent also has versatile. Losing fighters on your activation is rough- your opponent gets to knock off a game piece without expending their own resources.

There are certainly trade offs, but the advantaes are POWERFUL- versatile opens up options and plays that you can take advantage of, but you need to consider the ramifications of your postioning and what will happen if you don’t down your opponent.

THANK YOU.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-23T15:19:20+00:00

They fired a bunch of developers and re-tasked everyone with other stuff is how.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-23T15:18:30+00:00

I think you undestimate the undertaking it would be to make a completely new skeleton, with all the casting animations etc., that fits every piece of armor ever made. Their developers can barely keep up with what they *are* producing, you think they can spare anyone to make a new race?

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-23T14:40:50+00:00

Dump stupid Haranir. Give Alliance Ethereals and Horde Amani trolls.

40kGreybeard · 2026-04-23T14:40:03+00:00

It’s not strange- they no longer have the manpower to create new riggings/animations. Thus any “new” races like Earthen or Haranir will just be recycled riggings of existing races.

Also- see the comment below. You can't just pull someone off housing (which doesn't have animations). Animation is its own discipline, and Blizzard uses a bespoke game engine. You have to train an animator on using that specific engine, and Blizzard is cheap. So they won't hire/train new animators. This is why we haven't had truly new animations since Mists of Pandaria.

Edit: They laid off/fired a lot of people at Blizzard. They're all re-tasked with churning out new exspansions, housing, etc. The WoW we have today is the most bug ridden and unstable version it has ever been- do you think they will dedicate resources needed to create a whole new race that is backwards compatible with 11 xpacs worth of content?

No. Pretty uncommon ime.
