Hello everybody!!

The Balance Team is in full swing and we are looking for serious talking points and we need your help. What we need from you is your 3 best suggestions for possible changes. We are looking for things that seriously impact "Competitive SWM" in a negative way. These can be specific characters, floor rules and even game rules.

Please include a brief synopsis of your reasoning and what a positive change could bring. Keep in mind that we all have a different definition of what is good or bad for the game. Regardless of the suggestion and our personal feelings we will do our utmost to look at your suggestions under an unbiased microscope.

Thank you all in advance for helping us to Keep SWM great... again.

As far as the ability - I agree, but I would add a range - Unique rebels within 6 of C-3PO.


BUT - to be honest - Threepio is ridiculously stacked. I think the simplest change would be to just drop the ability. He's easily worth 12 without it.

If we were to simply adjust the cost - I would put him at about 22-24

Not sure if it's part of the Balance Committee's charge, but I'd revisit 3-2-1 scoring. Either have record be the first criteria (and just use points scored as a tiebreaker), or change 3-2-1 scoring to 5-4-1 scoring - which would have just about the same effect. Currently, a player could go 3-1 (7 points) and lose out to someone that they beat and who is 2-2 (8 points). Just seems crazy to me.

Along those same lines, with the introduction of 10 point gambit, it is now possible for someone to play without stalling, be on track to eliminate the opponent's entire squad, have a huge advantage on the board, but still lose the game due to their opponent's score+gambit reaching 200 first. Gambit points should be awarded all at once at the conclusion of the game. Either after one player completely eliminates the other player, after one player concedes, or after time is up. This could lead to the winner having more points than the loser - for example, if the winner eliminates the other squad without gaining gambit but the loser has 5 gambit rounds. But that's fine. First winning criteria should be eliminating the other squad - if either side can do that in the time limit, let them. If neither can, use gambit to help determine the winner.

Not sure either of these fall under the purview of the balance committee, but I thought I'd mention them here.

Since blastbugs, activation control, and booming voice are all already being considered..

1. Lightsaber counts as melee.
It hurts STAPLE possibly competitive pieces such as Cin Drallig (and his followers), Jarael, Sidious, Luke, etc.
Also Lightsabers are the core foundation for Star Wars battles and should be accurately played and it will be easier for new players to learn the game.

2. Gambit points. I think you should only get Gambit points if you are in Gambit and your opponent is not.
This will limit the points a team can get and virtually stop the "I won because I got 200 pts first" because their gambit is not adding up. You can be in Gambit for 6 rounds and the opponent in Gambit for 4 rounds and only get 20 Gambit.
I won on 200 points first and it was a shallow win, we had plenty of time to finish.

3. 3720 to 1. I think it should read If any Unique Rebel character in your squad is missed by an attack, that character gains Cloaked for the rest of the round.

I think the area effect is too much. This also makes it so that adjacent attacks do not matter. If I run up and hack with twin and miss the first and you gain cloaked, who cares I am adjacent

that is in awesome idea bro, highest piece in gambti gets the gambit. YES! so no more little pawsn in Gambit and that is all. Yes, that is Perfect. awards to melee mostly.

I only have good ideas.

hello
my name is Booming Voice, I was a race horse on Safrenta II back when the Sith rules the galaxy.
Since I've died, I have been beaten very loudly, and with little results.
I was whipped less when I was actively racing, and my jockey was a mean a$$ Dug.
please refrain from beating my poor horsey body.
I worked hard in life, and my corpse doesn't deserve this kind of abuse.

any more abuse will be reported to the GSPCDA*

Please create a new thread to talk about booming voice

Commando Droid Officer was worse, surely?

I stand by my statement. It badly hurts non-melee AND melee. Diplomat with distraction is just brutal to melee.

Regardless, even if it's on par with 2 of the figures that were broken and had to be changed - well that speaks for itself.
