Popular Post WWHSD Posted July 28, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Wyrd has answered quite a few question for people about M3E in the Third Edition Threadnought. I thought it would be useful to pull these little nuggets of useful information into a post that's easier to refer to. I won't limit what I include in the post to answers that appear in that thread, but will only include information that I can link to a statement by a Wyrd representative. I've paraphrased the questions and have quoted relevant parts of the replies from Wyrd and then linked to the reply which may provide some additional detail that was not quoted. If you see anything that needs to be added, please add a comment to this thread with a link to the post. Q:When will the Beta start? A: "We likely won't be doing much with the Beta until after Gencon." A2: "The playtest isn't beginning until after next week." (Aug-9) Q: When is M3E releasing? A: "We're not announcing a public date at this time, as we want to ensure that we have the option of extending playtest if needed. Our first priority is to ensure that M3E is fun and balanced, and some wiggle room will help us in that regard. So apologies that I can't give you a fixed date at this time!" Q: What's up with the missing masters (Ramos/Lilith/Collodi/Nico)? A:"All of these Masters (and their totems) will receive updated stat cards in M3E in a special "Dead Man's Hand" pack. By default, they will not be tournament legal (due to being absent in the story), but an option will exist to allow these "Dead Man's Hand" Masters to be played in tournaments that wish to allow it." Q: Are the Dead Man's Hand cards going to be balanced? A: "They will be balanced for competitive play." Q: What's up with thematic crews? A: "Without going into too much detail just yet, hiring within a Master's keyword will be affordable and will provide options that reinforce that Master's central theme. If you want to go outside a Master's keyword, you'll be able to do so within your faction, albeit at a minor penalty." Q: Will there be models that all masters in a faction can hire without penalty? A: "Most models will have keywords, but every faction also has some 'Versatile" models, such as the various Effigies and Emissaries. Versatile models can be hired within their faction without penalty." Q: Are mercs still going to be a thing? A: "Mercenaries in the M2E sense of the word are going away." Q: Will M3E still have upgrades? A: "In general, there will be fewer but more meaningful upgrades." Q: I didn't see Paralyze on the list of conditions, is gone from the game? A: "... Paralyze is gone." Q: What is the symbol in the text for the Stunned condition? A: "the symbol for Bonus Actions (essentially, your M2E (0) Actions)." Q: Will rules for Avatars be in M3E? A: "There are currently no plans to carry Avatars forward into 3rd edition." Q: Will the app be required to play M3E? A: "I just don't like the idea of making the app mandatory." Q: Are the Elevation rules going to change? A: “Elevation rules will indeed work differently than in M2E.” Q: Are model counts in crews going to change? A: “... I’d expect average model counts to come down slightly.“ Q: Will M3E have a new timing chart for duels? A: "Yup." Q: Can models have multiple key words? A: "Absolutely, though it doesn't happen all that often." Q: What is the penalty for hiring models that don't share a keyword with a crew's leader? A: "Hiring a model that does not share a keyword with your leader is at +1 Cost." Q: Do masters still get a Soulstone cache? How many Soulstones will a crew start with? A: "Cache is no longer a thing; you start with Soulstones equal to the amount you did not spend during hiring." Q: Does each crew get a master and totem for free and have 50SS to hire? A: "That is correct." [AWP] Q: Will promo models be getting updated cards? A: "Yes, all the way back to first edition." [AWP] Q: Will feedback on the new card size make you guys change your mind about it? A: “The new card size is here to stay. Bringing it up in the Beta won't really change that.” [AWP] Q: How does summoning interact with the new pass tokens. A: “When a model is Summoned, the opponent gains a Pass Token.” [AWP] Q: Are the rules for shooting into engagement going to be changing? A: "Yup." Q: Will cheating be permitted on negative flips? A: "Nope." Q: The Judge is going to be okay, right? A: "The Judge was totally killed." [AWP] signifies that the link is to A Wyrd Place Facebook post.

retnab Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Got another one for you, in AWP someone asked "Will promo models get updated M3E cards?" and Wyrd responded "Yes, all the way back to first edition." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they state that in person, or written somewhere? That's pretty exciting if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJoyInGaming Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Not sure when it appeared but there is now an FAQ about 3rd Edition on the website. Apparently every model can now have an upgrade and masters can have two. Interesting... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
