is there any fluff for the alt characters?
fire5tone replied to Mr Oogie Boogie's topic in Malifaux Discussion
She is, the bestiarys except core and now from nightmares were written by her and are effectively a story -
Art - DMH Masters Animatic // How Did You Love? - Shinedown
fire5tone replied to Mckbluff's topic in The Hobby Room
A 4th edition isn't coming for a LONG time, nor do we know that masters can't be killed mid edition -
not really, no. them not being pigs locks them out of many buffs the keyword provides and cant compete with the other pigs well because of it so. while we are here make swine cursed pigs you cowards!

I can still see it, don't think it was deleted, as for timezone, we don't know what time it starts just the day so *shrug* If they give us an exact time like est that can get answered though

Lethe's Caress and different attacks?
fire5tone replied to SirFoobar's question in Malifaux Rules Discussion
Yes, if a specific action happens twice you take damage, but something like moon shineobi with 2 different melees can use both without proccing Lethes, however stuff like onslaught automatically net you a Lethe proc cause it's done twice- 1 reply

Master hires with Master titles
fire5tone replied to AngelRogue's question in Malifaux Rules Discussion
The obviously came from the fact that it's 2 of the exact same person in a crew, even by malifaux standards that's a little silly but... Tone is tough in text -
Master hires with Master titles
fire5tone replied to AngelRogue's question in Malifaux Rules Discussion
It's covered in the core rulebook title call-out I believe, the answer is obviously not -
Yes, it's not the functional point of being a consumer. however if you want something to be better, say how you think it could be, even if half baked, or just aknowledge that you don't know With the title boxes for instance it was quite a bit of yelling but if you think about other ways it could be boxed you start running into the actual issue that caused them to be where they are, companies tend to have to think about things for a long time before putting them out, so just saying to "reconsider" is as useful as not saying anything at all Edit: the reason I bring up box packaging is because I don't see the way they are packaged as an issue, originally I was quite disgruntled about it myself but upon thinking about a lot of the alternatives that wyrd "certainly should have done" I realized what we got was, in some ways, downright merciful compared so while the complaints were understandable, the boxes could feel quite bad it's... This again "..while it does a good job at outlining the issue it doesn't always prove that there IS an issue.." but I wouldnt have gotten there if I didn't try and find out how to fix it
-
first priority is always the games integrity IMO, while it can absolutely be fixed in the future we want to limit the amount of things that NEED fixing, dont want too many nexus's running around for a year with total impunity, and to be fair to titles, i'm quite suprised its not significantly worse so far
-
Ah, ok, well fair enough and I'm glad ya found it interesting so far, not sure how much more I've to say on it, especially while it's uh... 6 am XD To me the nerfs are absolutely needed, otherwise you'd end up with certain masters causing problems forever, regardless how OP a few titles and masters are pre-errata one of the most important things to do beforehand is create an actually balanced baseline to go off of (so everything that's not a title, OG masters and stuff in this case) and work the extremes back to that line (or close) rather than buffing all the old up to be closer to those outliers (or just ditching the old stuff that can't compete but that's just so much worse an idea) soapbox time: to be far (far) more blunt about my previous point cause this comes up alot (most recently with title box packaging complaints) if you think there's a fix to a perceived problem say yer dang solution and we'll discuss it or just don't say you think there is one before leaving. Lotta thought likely ended up going into it so it might be worth brainstorming a tad to know why it's causing issues or atleast how to prevent another instance in the future
-
I highly doubt this is the rate of release for content, and don't see much of a reason why it would, and I still think it's far too early to call for how unbalanced the average title is in terms of power creep I am quite curious about what the number of solutions for that are, much less for wyrd Hold back rules for a models release into the wild like most? try'n dump as many models as possible at once so you can get it on physical tables asap? Despite my tone I am actually open to suggestions I suppose you could hold back releases until the start of GG's so there's a bit of time but... That creates some real testing wyrdness but even that's not actually that great cause dumping a ton in general, especially not when your trying to understand the GG too is not overly favorable... While I am a proponent of new releases getting 1 errata seperate from the general erratas to make sure stuff doesn't cause issues for that long, it is worth noting that by the time an errata is actually due (march typically) explorers will have been in for 3 months over a year, so it's not been an uncharacteristically long time, especially with covid remember that gg1 to 2 was 1 year 1 month
-
1 plenty of people, and i mean a lot, use cards 2 it is *not* that simple, with any change likely undergoing a reasonably sized testing period to make sure you have not just utterly shanked a keyword, the issue with the early nexus coverage is that it was mostly just yelling, while it does a good job at outlining the issue, it doesnt always prove that there IS an issue, only time and data will get you there because as you go along people (and even pro's have to) learn how to play around it significantly lessening how problematic a model ends up being but, in the case of nexus, if it doesnt lessen the horrors, neither does a new gg, or the summon nerfs, then you can very well say theres an issue 3 suprisingly, data is crucial, even from new to decent players (in some senses especially from new to decent) asking a man to chart a predictive line on a board with just 5 dots and anecdotes is tantamount to spitting in a statisticians face, for the rest see point 2
-
gotta be honest, i dont see the point of the post, 'course theres gonna be erratas, im not convinced the titles on average are stronger than the old masters on average, even less so the same as the old masters on release the game is never going to be perfectly balanced, never would be so do what they've always done, specifically just target extreme outliers the "ES werent in the last errata" bit never made sense to me, it could be that they wanted to go through 2 GG's before taking out a bat, especially given how different they ended up being (with gg1 being extreme aggro) alternatively, they just wanted data? bear in mind nexus didnt actually release until a good bit into gg2, and while there are a lot of online players and people OK with proxies, theres likely more that arent

i have a question about the sale
fire5tone replied to Mr Oogie Boogie's topic in News, Reviews, & Discussion
Now yet just tempting fate with these names -
i like 2 cause i think the hair fits the best, but 4 is good too. also, why are your pics out of order >:( i'm going off the image's number
-
the point of iconics is to handle important parts of story, or to show a bit of history, rather than specifically just masters
-
ok, so nathan came into the discord to give us a hint as to who she is, the box is named "the path not taken" so. (and this wasnt my suggestion originally twas fluff) current theory is that thats justice if she went full resser. or more likely, justice if she lost vs nico, whether resurrected or possessed
-
its been confirmed a few times, theyre coming a week or so after books official release

the bayou starter does actually look quite good, not on sprue good, but good

Lessons from Playing McMourning Insanitary
fire5tone replied to Deathinabox's topic in The Resurrectionists
What about white rabbit? if he puts his upgrade on himself he can be carried by curator and you can steal his needle and thread and give it to... I dunno, dead rider or nurse, to build in crows and force the opponent to discard 2 cards per attack, also beckoning call can help I'd imagine -
there are only 2 versions of somer this edition, OG somer, and title somer, it doesnt matter how many alt models you have, cause models arent tied to the rules
