Because sometimes the smallest detail can overwhelm the hardest heart.- You don't have to run around getting "flight points" to use the flight master.
- You can fly to your capital city at rank 1.
- Arrows on the circle around your character that point you to your group members.
- City Buff -- whenever your city ranks up, you get a hefty bump to your xp, influence, renown and money.
- You can resize and move the UI anywhere you'd like it to be on the screen.
- There's a separate bag for quest items -- no more sorting through full bags to find them!
- Your characters swear and mutter when hurt.
- Using siege engines to blow away bad guys from across the playing field.
- Trophies -- because we like frivolous fluff!
- Being able to queue up for scenarios from anywhere in the world.
- Getting xp AND renown AND loot in world/scenario PvP.
- The thrill of watching the PQ loot roll.
- Mythic devs actually talk to the players.
- Mirrored classes -- so you don't have to fret too much about choosing the "wrong" faction in terms of careers.
- Hoverboards! Er... Magus discs!
- Guild recall scrolls for a quick port to your capital city (once your guild hits 17, that is).
- There's actually combat in capital cities -- dungeons, PQs, even Skaven! -- instead of just another vendor/quest hub.
- Explodey barrels in Altdorf.
- Bragging rights from the Tome -- impress your friends with how often you've died!
- /special
- Secrets littered across the world, waiting to be discovered.
- PvP that matters. PvP that's at the core of the game.
- Renown ranks that give you a feeling of progression even after you've hit rank 40.
- Being able to torch houses. Lots of houses. Yay!
- Taking a ride on a Greenskin catapult.
- Queuing up for scenarios from anywhere in the world.
- Right-clicking on your character to hear them crack jokes and say quirky phrases.
- Dual-targeting (one foe, one friendly)!
- Being able to play in a scenario at rank 1.
- An evil faction that is actually, y'know, evil -- not just "misunderstood".
- Having scores of titles to pick from.
- Large buildings that make you go "Oh wow...", like the beautifully-designed keeps.
- Raining down boiling oil on an enemy force at your gates.
- Actually caring about your guild leveling and your city leveling or being attacked.
- Riding gyrocopters and dinosaurs!
- Nurglings: disgusting but cute.
- Snotlings: cute but disgusting.
- Standards: immersive, cool-looking and useful.
- Things that "age" with levels: War Lions, Magus' discs, Marauder's mutations.
- Character collision during PvP.
- Beer that heals you (props to my Engineer buds!).
- Spinning your character around on the character selection screen makes them dizzy.
- Not being forced into just one type of gameplay to level, but having several.
- Lots of ugly and deformed (scars) facial options.
- Knockbacks. Admit it -- they're fun.
- Healers that have more options than just heal-heal-heal... they can fight, too.
- Dyes, dyes, dyes.
- A more mature in-game community (cross fingers).
- Awesome ambient sounds, especially for creepy places.
- You can play alongside the legendary Syp! And probably die as I do!
P.S. - Two of these are the same! That's a secret game for you to play! Yeah, I meant it that way! Really!

#10 and #26 are both Queuing up for scenarios from anywhere in the world but honestly it deserves to be there a 3rd or 4th time, depending on how many scenarios are in your tier!!!

I know for a fact my male engineer yells "bloody hell!" when he gets hit particulary hard. And I am fairly sure he yells "bastard!" also. But I find the "bastard!" line so surprising that I almost can't be sure he says it. Can any engineers confirm this?

Yeah my chaotic sensibilites are hurt when dwarves call me bastard. Good thing running my sword through the nearest runepriest makes me feel a whole bunch better

I agree with most of this. Love 3,6,10,28.
Don't agree on the following:
1. This description makes flying around sound convenient, its not. Some areas don't even have a flight master!
5. While customizable, the UI is lacking in many ways. The chat functionality is something out of a first gen MMO.
13. Right now we have to track down dev post across multiple fan sites. How is this an improvement?

I haven't tried this recently, but I thought you could queue T4 from the main city?
