Panzer Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 This makes me wonder if managers can/have been skewing results? Pretty sure they have. It happens all the time with such events. Marshal Loss 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Â This makes me wonder if managers can/have been skewing results? Â Pretty sure they have. It happens all the time with such events. Don't think they need to, GW have well and truly stacked the deck for the Imperium with their release schedule. Â Glad to see Chaos clawing things back though.

Montford Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Played 2 games with my Adepta Sororitas in week 5 and won them both, vs Blood Angels and Death Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogWelder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Lmao either GW made a genuine mistake or this is a hilarious case of pre-determined match-fixing. Planet ownership is clearly in favor of the Imperium but the website announces a chaos victory.

Anything is possible, including - and, most likely - simple human error. Like, the intern put the Imperium and Chaos percentages in the wrong cells in the spreadsheet. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogWelder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) In which case I hope they at least admit they made an error and make an effort to fix this for week 6. Â Though if it really was match-fixing, I'm a bit insulted that they chose to do it in such an obvious manner. At least try to make it look believable Edited August 31, 2017 by DogWelder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogWelder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Ah I see. Oh well whats done is done. Â One final nitpick in the lore entry though:Â Â 'At Terebral Station Sigma, the forces of Chaos launched furious assaults against the Imperial occupiers, while enginseers tried in vain to enact the machine-rituals necessary to sabotage the fusion drill, chanting desperate prayers to the Omnissiah as they worked. It was too late even for such desperate measures. A cabal of Chaos Sorcerers channelled the aura of savagery and carnage rippling across Drenthal, and tore open a wound in reality, spilling Daemons into the cavernous drill chamber. In an orgy of bloodshed, the enginseer work crews were slaughtered, and the destruction of Drenthal averted. The ocean world would make a fine staging point for the ongoing assault upon Ultramar.' Â ....why? I have limited knowledge of astrophysics but wouldn't destroying such a relatively large planet like Drenthal situated just one orbit away from the major planets like Astaramis, Konor and Nethamus have catastrophic consequences on those planets due to changes in magnetic field, asteroid impacts, apocalyptic changes in weather patterns etc. ? Â Seems like the logical thing to do for chaos would be to just let the Imperials blow up the planets since that would cause system-wide catastrophe. And for the Imperials to let the forces of chaos have the planet so they could come back for it later when the war is done.

Lord Marshal Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think it's pretty apparent GW 'fudged the numbers' as a way of trying to cover up how lopsided the campaign was always going to be from the start with just how many Imperial players there are, coupled with Xenos being able to lump even more victories on top of those. By giving Chaos a couple of victories they can handwave any complaints as "But look! They won this one/two! It proves if they tried harder they could've won!"Â Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It depends on the size of the system, the proximity to planets and the mass of the destroyed object. You'd certainly introduce a shotgun full of debris into the planetary system. It might be interesting to load Konor into Universe Simulator and then blow up Drenthal to see what would happen. DogWelder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like that they chose to do total control area over total victories. If I own everything but the castle, but you are able to repel most of my attacks, I think it's safe to say overall I've won. So long as I completed the most important objective, the castle doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogWelder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This seems incredibly undemocratic though. They're actively punishing a region for having too much players by making their points count less than that of someone in another region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azekai Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Meh. The campaign was rigged in the beginning, is it any surprise it is rigged at the end? After the 13th Black Crusade upset, the good folks at GW are not going to make the same mistake twice.Don't worry Imperial players. Loebos is going to get blown up and the scripted 'Imperium barely squeaks out a win' outcome will occur. It is your turn to win a global campaign, after all :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
