Hey, I just wanted to take a second to thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication to keep this game going. Seriously, if you have ever been a designer, play tester, quality control guy or any of the positions I can't think of right now because it's 11... then thank you! It's because of you that we still have regionals and gencon can still draw over 30 people.
I didn't have the luxury of playing this game when you could get 8 guys together once every week. When regionals had over 20 on average, when you could grab a booster from the local store or even when gencon ran 60. Do I say this to imply "man thing have gone down hill" or "your guys work has been for nothing"? On the contrary, if it weren't for you all I wouldn't have been able to ever get know the game or the community that I enjoy so much!
I know there are plenty of people that are frustrated for one reason or another and giving you all grief. Don't take it personally and keep your chin up. The quality I have seen in the v-sets far surpasses that of what wizards ever had. Has there been a rotten egg or two? Of course! You all have put out more playable material in the vsets than wizard would have put out in 15 years. (IMO)
I don't want to rant and distract from the point. Thank you all, I can't say it enough, thank you for keeping the game and community going.

That doesn't mean you have to agree with every design presented (see Daala) or agree with evrything that has been done to rectify issues. (again see Daala) We're a smaller group now than in years past, but working together we can keep this fun and keep it going. I will never be a designer but I know my voice is heard.

As a playtester for the last 6 sets, I always appreciate working with the designers, cause they do pay attention to playtest reports. This game is doing very well and I just want to say thanks!

The new set is great. Pieces are great, abilities and mechanical interaction show finesse and an amazing comprehension of the rules, and the cards are great quality also. Thanks again for the hard work.

you guys are awesome.  Lets be honest though, without you guys, the guys that play often and with enthusiasm, there would be no reason to make figs. So long as we keep playing, talking and listening this game will persist. dylan thomas wrote:

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I want to hear you sing that. At our annual gathering at Hooters during GenCon. After your usual allotment of alchohol.

Good Job This set takes me back to the old days which WOTC would of just made a fun game that was create without all the boosted damage we got.
For the record Vset 7 still sucks in my eyes. Vset 8 best set ever.

Thanks for v-set 8 - lots of fun stuff.
I am having some difficulty understanding Jonny's sentence structure, but I really don't see the problem with v-set 7. I guess his issue is one of the following:
a) the Republic pieces in it are underpowered.
Padawan Commander has won a Regional.
b) Oppo Rancisis is disappointing.
He's fine. We don't need a Tier 1 Oppo tearing up the meta.
c) Some sort of personal grievance with a member of the design team on set 7.

Its not Daala that really is the problem its Vset 8 brought out counters to yodabuck and Lancer to off set the balance to Swarms. All that Being said the Designers did a really good job maybe even too safe of a job to make sure the last set was balanced. For the record I only saying thanks to this set and past sets not Vset 7. That set gets a F- or a 20% out of 100

Yeah but why? You don't have to say that, this is an appreciation thread. You can be, you know, nice and just leave that negative bit out. It serves no purpose.
