you are in for a treat buddy

yes. so what I can tell from participating in the beta very activly in the first two months: you have to Play it. Just theoryfauxing is not enough. The best Thing you can do if something Looks fishy on paper is playing the particular model as much as possible. Repetition is key to gather good data.

Do we though? I feel, from the Fluff-Stories, he usually seems to be pretty calm and collected while he is making everyone else drunk. I think the Moonshinobi and fermented River Monks capture the drunken master style perfectly while the Brewmaster, to me, is supposed to be like... Snoop Dogg. Constantly intoxicated but chill. He is the one handing out the booze (blunts) and enjoying everyone else being under the influence

I will say the same about Brewmaster ;)

I can see where @yool1981 is coming from. The way this whole thing was handled makes me feel uneasy. As I said before, I enjoyed every second of the beta and I am positive about M3E. However, finding out that Masons departure was on Wyrd and that the process was not very amicable (this is Information from reddit), leaves a bitter taste. I have always felt very good in the Hands of wyrd. Unlike with other companies I, as a customer, always felt like Wyrd was doing it for the People. For us. And I still feel that way. But I also always felt that way about Mason. I liked his Approach on the beta and I found him very likable in the interview with schemes&stones. So now hearing that mommy and daddy had a fight, makes me wonder where I'll end up. But of Course, we as customers have absolutley no Claim on any Information about this.

thanks Mason. I loved every second of the beta test.

I think that is up to you, to be honest. I said it before in the Forums: if you go into m3e thinking "oh m2e was just so great! I'll compare averything to m2e!" the changes will hurt, yes. If you go into m3e with a fresh mindset and try not to apply m2e-paradigms, the changes won't hurt. m3e is not a Balance patch. so saying the changes to summoning hurt or do not hurt Ulix is not really possible in my opinion, because Ulix himself will be a whole new Thing.

as a Gremlin Player I cannot agree. M2E-Emissary was not playable in my opinion, or at least not very well. We don't know if M3E-Emissary will be any good, but from my perspective as a consumer and from what Infos we find on this page, the opportunity to Play a 10SS-Enforcer for the cost of a 4+2SS-Enforcer alone seems to be worth it. As a consumer, this feels reassuring and good.

they neither made sense before. The Old Nicodem Avatar Walking side by side with Nicodem? also I'd like to Quote Question 12 from the official wyrd M3E-FAQ:

Other 10-SoulStone-Enforces cannot emerge from a 4+2 Soulstone Enforcer. Also what @santaclaws01 said. Also, if you make a 40-Dollars Enforcer stronger than cheaper enforcers (while costing the same in-game ressources), just because they are more expensive, you pretty much end up with the pay-to-win problematic. I think the monetary value of a miniature should correlate to its size and Details etc. and not its competitiveness.

You need to shift away from M2E-Paradigms. Once you stop comparing M3E rules to M2E rules you'll have a better time enjoying M3E. So basically I agree with what @WWHSD said

well yes, if you don't want to participate, the beta is not the right place. Thing is: the M2E-bayou parts of the Forum have never been a very active place besides nagging about how weak Rooster Riders have become or why Stuffed piglets are 3SS or numerous wishlisting threads which (to me! personal opinion!) are highly redundant. I agree that there needs to be an active culture of battlereports, discussions on how to use certain models/lists/schemes. BUT that's actually a lot of work, especially the part with the battlereports. I hope once the final M3E goes live the Bayou-Dwellers will gather, pop some moonshine kegs and start healthy discussions!

well it's a closed beta. there won't be any News anytime soon I suppose, because it's literally not possible to give any News right now. everything is in beta, almost nothing is set in Stone and everything that is set in stone has already been stated by wyrd. (on the Website for M3E) if you want to know more about the beta I guess you should just apply for it. I'm not sure if wyrd takes applications right now though

What everyone else said. Husbandry is so obligatory, the could've just printed it on his Card tbh. as for later turns I had great results with the Hunting-Bow shot in the rear on the Sow. Also: I think Ulix is one of the most fun and most thematic Masters in the game. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do

I certainly hope so. I love the Tanuki Models and would like to add them to my brewmaster in the future.

In my opinion, even before additional Crew members, you Need Ophelias Wave5-Upgrades Metal-Lined Coat and Useless Junk. They provide her and the Kin with lots of usefull movement-, scheeming and healing synergies .

I totally agree with the last part. M2E is the best game I have ever playerd. But maybe M3E will be even better? As of now we can just speculate. So I'd rather be hopeful than pessimistic. Regarding 2 Masters: yeh... to me this seems like Overkill as well. But I think wyrd will manage to make it work

And I actually doubt that. Fluff-wise mercenaries in Malifaux are more than plausible. Loyalties are in constant limbo and it makes total sense for people working for the highest bidder. From a gameplay-perspective I agree that mercs can be a Problem balancewise. Maybe the tax will increase? Or maybe there will be a restriction in numbers? e.g. just one or two mercs per Crew.

I think the picture takes up too much space and the text looks a bit too tightly squeezed for my taste. There seems to be not enough space for it. But I can see how the pictures can provide more fluffy immersion. Also: has anyone mentioned that there is no Cg on the front? Maybe certain attacks will have individual Charge-ranges? Edit: also no SS-Cache

Maybe the Keyword Mechanic solves this issue. So maybe you can still use Tanuki with Brewmaster for Example? Maybe the Models themselfs gain/stay som sort of dual faction-status

So... I was a stong advocat for "please let Malifaux stay in 2nd Edition for ever!" over the past year. I have issues with changes, especially when they regard a Thing I have a certain Passion and love for. So in the first hour after the announcement of 3rd Edition Malifaux I was pretty seceptical. Flashbacks of how GW treated Warhammer Fantasy came to my mind. However I read through the whole thing like 10 times and it is starting to grow on me. Wyrd is very open about it nad seem to encourage active participation of the Player base via the closed Beta-Testing. This gives me hope. Yes, words like "streamlining" trigger most of us and I (Gremlins Player) have not lost any Master (although I am not sure if the lost masters are really lost because Dead Mans Hand. I am curious to find out how this works) but I have faith in Wyrd. Let's stay positive and let's participate

I tend to Switch my master pretty frequently so my mates do net get too used to certain models. THis results in constant underestimating my Bayou Gremlins. I usually run 3 to 4 in Somer-Crews so my opponents consider them a total spam unit that gives me activation Control and Scheme-Potential. Whichis true ofc. However these Little buggers kill more stuff than you might think at first glance. Yes they die in the process... but who cares right? I have to admit I am a bit hesitant about drunk and reckless. I think 2 wounds on a 4-wound model is pretty hurtful, so you have to time your recklessness pretty well. In non-Somer Crews I tend to skip them unless I really can't find any better use for 3 ss.

but like... alt models are mainly for collecting purposes anyway, right? who cares if Lenny is good or isnt. we all got one anyway from our bayou boss box. So we might as well just enjoy the Triple Malifaux Heavyweight Champion ( I count three belts on him and the piglet combined) I mean... would you be more pleased to get an alt Francois? Or an Alt-Iron Skeeter? You've already got them anyways.

I like it

I don't think a nightmare Crew has to be tailored towards newer Players. I think the Crew Looks cool. I like the Idea, it's over the top and ridiculous.
