Kaldstrom, C1, N4 - bad news, we've been lied to, again

Welcome to the internet! There is no half-way. :)

N4 is in August, and we have had VERY little information about it. CodeOne is in March/April and we've received some info about it.
It'll have 4 factions at launch.
There will be rebranding of old important boxes to CodeOne packaging.
There will be resculpts of core stuff, and new releases.

So indeed, there will be a mix of old UNITS (not old sculpts) in Kaldstrom, isn't this pretty standard? Then, product releases and rereleases for CodeOne will have some new releases and some reboxing of old sculpts, but probably not in the same boxes unless it's a large starter. Like, we'll probably get the Wildfire split into an O12 and Shas starter each, losing the "unique" Gamma and Gualo, but again, that's pretty standard, right?

The "information" seems to apply the "four faction" from CodeOne onto N4, but we don't know if that's right. It also seems to conflate "reboxing some stuff to CodeOne" as "we'll release boxes with half old units and half new units".

 

That's exactly their purpose. They're to indicate what someone is saying, verbatim, as in to indicate it's not the writers words.

And that points to the larger elemeng, you're interpreting information through your own lense, which you admit is colored by frustration lately and then re-associating it to someone else. So you can direct that Frustration at them.
Rather than reflect that you're frustrated.

I get it, we're invested into this game emotionally. And we get excited and set expectations which we wouldn't reasonably apply in other aspects of our life (I assume if you're friend was late meeting you, you probably wouldn't berate them about constantly lying to you because you realise there are elements outside their control which can effect their lateness).

we put such a double standard on companies. Oh you MUST tell us tidbits about new releases. But, we will absolutely tear you to shreds if the release is different to how we interpreted the tidbit.

It's like gamers and release dates.

Or fucking project managers and deadlines.

 

I know, but neither does ti introduce New sectorials full of new profiles

 

I see that there is a bit of panic perfectly eaay to avoid if you simply read what hey public or see the videos.
I understand that isn't so easy to believe all they say and I know why. But...come on! they explained a lot with videos.

 

Really, you're telling me in your professional career it's normal to put a paraphrase in quotation marks?

Like what's the point of the quote marks at that point?
I understand that quote marks are used for several things, but I'm pretty sure quoting yourself and attributing to someone else is a niche application if at all.

Ok, I do understand it's normal to use terms like 'this always happens', ' they never do this' in emotional arguments and it's supposed to be obvious that you don't mean the literal absolute.
But like, it's makes it difficult on this end, because the urge is to disagree with the stated point of 'not being told anything'.

The main problem with what you're seeing as cb being shit all starts with some very specific interpretation of tidbits from teasers.
Teasers are supposed to be vague, to get people to talk and speculate. Railing against this fact is to ignore how businesses try to generate interest.
It's unfortunately shitty human psychology and businesses kind of have to play to it because people are notoriously fickle with the attention span of a toddler.

 

It's clear we just live in two different worlds.

I literally can't comprehend how you come to the conclusions you do.

I would actually be fascinated to learn more about how to use quotes though, because what you're describing it's totally unknown and it would actually be great to know when I'm reading a quote it might not actually be that person's words.

 

I understand people use quotes sometimes to mean 'Im speaking in someone elses voice' or various other things (for example "scare quotes'). Language is complex.

However it's definitely a novel argument to blame CB for bad communication based on a tidbit of possibly garbled hearsay through a third party, claiming it as an 'official statement', while simultaneously giving the impression they said something very specific which they very likely did not, since you just made it up.

The internet is an odd place.

 

From the linked wiki page:

"
Quotation marks are not used for indirect speech. This is because indirect speech can be a paraphrase; it is not a direct quote, and in the course of any composition, it is important to document when one is using a quotation versus when one is just giving content, which may be paraphrased, and which could be open to interpretation.

For example, if Hal says: "All systems are functional", then, in indirect speech:

Incorrect: Hal said that "everything was going extremely well".
Correct: Hal said that everything was going extremely well.
"

.......

What am I missing?

 

From Chain of Command on Facebook:

"It has been confirmed directly from CB that armies that are currently discontinued (Tohaa, QK, MRRF, Shock Army, NCA) will not be in N4. They may be added at a later date if CB decided to make models for them again.

They will be left in N3 Infinity Army builder which will still be left up in case anyone wanted to play n3 with them. Any armies they discontinue during N4 will still be playable in N4.

Thanks UT for the update."

 

I just watched bostria again (LVO) and the quote (not paraphrase);

"N4 will arrive and it will be the whole game, not splitting into different books"

In response to James Pittman specifically asking about the rules.

So you can have all the rules at once and have army profiles be staggered. Were you remembering wrong or just bad at quoting?
