I’ve been trying to make videos of BB2 gameplay, but haven’t quite mastered the technology yet on my new laptop. Ah well. Thoughts as text instead:
- The beta teams are dwarfs, skaven, orcs, humans.
- The rule changes are confirmed, in case there was any doubt – AV8 catchers, 130k ogres, orc blitzer 90k, Plasmoid’s Bretonnians.
- There is no in-game chat lobby at the moment.
- The main public league seems to be called NAF Official, which is a bit confusing. Nothing to do with our beloved NAF, unfortunately.
- Skills on players are shown as little icons, rather than as text. If you click on the icon it tells you what the skill is, but I found this interface very confusing.
- There is a nice feature that automatically sets up a team for you if you can’t be bothered to choose your players. You can choose and name yourself instead though, obviously.
- You can use the BB1 controls and view, which I currently prefer.
- The dice log is an issue – it doesn’t show you all the dice rolls (e.g. kick off, KO rolls), and it only shows the last few of those that are shown.
More to come, no doubt! I’ll add some pics later too. There are various people live streaming at the moment if you want to see gameplay vids, mine all stopped working half way through. Sad times.
