Squirrelich Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just getting this off my chest, and this is completely my bias opinion. But I was really hoping the Master shake up would have went something like this instead of what was announced. Renamed Arcanists and Outcasts added a new Faction kept all Masters ideally dropped dual Faction completely, cause balancing between two Factions never really seemed to work before for most Masters anyway Put the Master list down to 6 in each Faction cause (IMO) there doesn't really need to be 8 play styles in a single Faction anyway, and it creates room to grow Still made room for a few new Masters, but not as many as were announced. Guild Resser NB Union Outlaw 10T Gremlin Other (needs new name but don't want to confuse with old Outcast) Perdita Ortega Nicodem(?) Lilith(?) Ramos(?) Parker Barrows Misaki Katanaka Somer Collodi(?) Lady Justice Douglas McMourning Titania Sandeep Desai Leopold Von Schill Shenlong Mah Rasputina Sonnia Criid Molly Squidpiddge Pandora Toni Ironsides Viktoria Chambers Jakob Lynch Ophelia Leveticus Nellie Cochrane Seamus Dreamer Anasalea Kaeris Tara Asami Tanaka Wong Marcus Lucius Mattheson Reva Cortinas Zoraida Colette Du Bois Zipp Yan Lo Ulix Hamelin Charles Hoffman Kirai Ankoku New Master New Master Lucas McCabe Mei Feng Brewmaster Jack Daw Steal Yan Lo if Nico is still dead? Steal Marcus apparently? Steal Mei or Hoffman instead of getting a new? Steal McCabe if someone steals from 10T first? trade in Zoraida for Marcus if Zoriada is not welcome under Titania? Whoo, now that I got that out I feel better, thank you. Feel free to comment or ignore me as you see fit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Loki- Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I would have liked to have seen a Tyrant faction, myself. There's enough that they could have made a faction out of dual faction masters like they did with Ten Thunders. Maybe even separated some entirely. They seem to be focusing on the waking Tyrants according to the fluff on the announcement page, so not having some of them them splinter off into their own faction was a little disappointing. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue with tyrants forming their own faction is that they aren’t on the same side. Hamelin/Pestillence And Nightmare wouldn’t have any common cause or shared forces, for instance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Does it not seem a bit weird that Tyrants would be their own faction though? Given that their thing is competing with eachother for world domination. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Keenan) Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I think they would have a commonality of surviving and returning. They were banished and defeated before, there could be a storyline where they form a loose association to defeat their common enemies, i.e. current masters who are powerful enough to defeat them again, especially if they team up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have been a dream for me. Tyrant fluff is my favorite, and it is what drew me to outcasts to pick up Obliteration ,Plague, and Shez'uul. And Rasputina is my first malifaux love, who I've never felt belonged fully in arcanists particularly since m2e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Tyrants more or less hate each other and have actively set their own plans back in order to hinder others multiple times. There can be only one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all going on before the queen fell, and whilst she may have caused each tyrant a set back, she also gave their foes (the other tyrants) a set back. I doubt any of them view her as a greater threat that the other tyrants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band together to destroy the one who destroyed them, then go back to hating each other? Just wishful spitballing at best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuBlanck Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm glad they didn't add a new faction - I think seven is already more than enough. Similarly, I'm not heartbroken over the lost masters since it slows the sprawl of the game. I've always liked dual-faction stuff as a concept, and I think a lot of the hate it gets is because some models are better in one faction than the other. I think that's fine. To lose the ability to pop Momma Z from fateweaver to cantankerous swamp hag would be a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anung Un Rama Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I like the idea of a new faction. Maybe in the future. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I swear I’m going to start numbering you all in the future... Opinion: there are masters I am now less interested in because of token mechanic reading like it’s a condition accumulation and that is already driving me nuts on Nellie (but less so on Ramos). Friendly tokens: Hoffman, Shenlong, Asami Enemy tokens: Nellie, Dreamer, Hamelin Pass tokens: Perdita, Youko Hamasaki Opinion: while I am comfortable with attaching upgrades mid-game, there’s going to be a lot more of that next edition and it will catch people by surprise. Friendly upgrades: Kirai (?), Yan Lo, Marcus, Von Schill, McCabe, Ophelia Enemy upgrades: Jack Daw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
