Updated 1st post with all Balance Committe rulings to date

Transfer Essence was one item deemed an NPE, as I recall.

My challenge to the balance committee, design team, SWM community leaders, etc.......................................



Focus on making the game more balanced, not just for NPE's, but for making "ALL" factions equally strong and balanced, giving all factions the ability to win GenCon.



Who will the "Chosen One" be in our community, that will bring balance to SWM??????????????????

Yay!
I agree 100%

It is a designer issue at this point since no one wants to ban dodonna and/or ozzel. And no one wants an activation limit so designers haven't the ball in their court.

So the way I see it is to continue to try to mess around with these if you activate last abilities until something sticks.
(To use queen amonoa we need great big sith beats that can work on their own, the way sith Lord ought to be)

Or we can come up with a mid level counter for or activation (double agent on a lobot reserve).

It we can just make Jedi and other uniques good enough to not care (especially in or, republic, sith)


But I am with you 100% it is time to see OR and Sith and Separatist somewhere on the map

The V-Set 14 Design Team and Balance Committee have concluded their inquiry into the recent commotion caused by the Death Trooper/ First Order squad. The determination was made that errtum of Director Orson Krennic is needed.

*** Effective Immediately*** Director Orson Krennic Errata

* Rival now includes First Order
*Rapport 3 instead of Rapport 5.
* Second Commander Effect no longer gives Cunning Attack.
* Third Commander Effect will now be ignored by Attacks with Lightsabers.



Please update Director Orson Krennic details to Card Errata section

The way you attack these factions is to instead of banning, nerfing, or errata'ing, the Rebels and Imperials, make new characters, commander effects, and special abilities, that specifically attack these 2 factions!

1. Much more Rebel Hunter

2. Much more Imperial Hunter

3. Ability that negates booming voice

4. More "Never Tell Me the Odds" or abilities that negate Master Tactician

5. Abilities or commander effects that hinder Charging Fire

6. Abilities or commander effects that nullify Prideful

7. Some type of ability or commander effect that negates or nullifies board wide commander effects

8. More ways to deal with Diplomat ( especially the 5 pt diplomats, uggh )

9. Cheaper Disruptive and commanders that grant disciplined leader ( I mean, why do the Rebels get the only 8 pt Disruptive mini, 9 pt activation modifier, and 14pt crazy boardwide commander effect? )

10. More CHEAPER ways to deal with activation modifying commanders............................................This is something that has been an NPE for almost a decade! And whoever does this, allow them to sit in spin in the back as well!

11. A commander effect or special ability that can DESTROY AND ELIMINATE ridiculous, cowerdous, cherry picking commanders that just sit in a locked room, in the far reaches of the map, never to see the light of day, or a speck of dirt on their uniforms, or a drop of blood spilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. Special ability or commander effect that ignores or makes immune to Ysalamiri



Let's get creative here ladies and gentleman. Stop being lazy by just throwing Thor's hammer down and banning everything that has already been established,that just confuses the community and costs us more money and time consuming efforts with all the re-printing and re-designing of stuff that has already been established!

I think SHHN set up a balance committee decision last night.

The decision was to add Low Caste to the piece (the Plutt)?


So....
what was the thinking on that decision?
Firstly, Low Caste is not thematic at all, not even a little bit.

Secondly, I heard a minute or two of discussion on what makes fun game play and this is where things get hard to deal with. The elites do not get to dictate what is fun and not and do not get to nerf things they do not find as fun. Not without community approval, which is not granted.

I really don’t know why he wasn’t just banned, because you’re right. 90% of the time Unkar won’t get played or even considered now, and the 10% will be when somebody you know is playing Reserves and you’d like to just give them the middle finger. Doesn’t sound like a fun piece.

Not to mention adding yet another piece to the errata pile, this time adding a little-used ability. Why not make him cost 21 if he couldn’t be banned? Still can’t come in with Lobot and you don’t require players to break out a glossary.

@CC it was in the beginning I only listened to about 5 minutes to see if I could hear the announcement and they said it was going to be early on so I listened to 5 minutes of it.



the point is that the hard counter is still there. that is the issue. It, once again, craps on the community. The desires of a few dictate the game and outweigh the desires of others.
