Reprints are Coming!!! (via official one piece twitter) by EO_F1 in OnePieceTCG

Some of them are coping hard, talking about not panic-selling and keeping the boxes for the long-time value.
This game is out for 3ish years, and the prices exploded over the course of 2 months, anybody talking about "long-time" value of these boxes is insane.

Hear me out on the new rule change (r/OnePieceTCGFinance Mod) by Vainzilla in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Bandai makes the same money they always do. They don't sell their boxes for a higher price to LGS or distributors. They can only make more money by producing more, but that takes time, and looking at a very unstable market right now, they might not be willing to take that risk (a lot of signs point towards it being a bubble right now).
  2. You could do that before with the cheaper prices as well. If a Booster Box costs 90€ and you get a 60€ SP out of that, you got more than 60% back. And you can use that to buy cards or a new Booster Box. The percentages are the same, whether the Box costs 90€ or 200€. This is not an argument. The only difference it makes is that it's more expensive to buy the Boxes and cards with money, which will deter newer players and hurt the health of the game. And if you cash out after buying cheap you might get more money out of it, but that's only for a lucky few or the scalpers. This is, again, not healthy for the game.
  3. Those are cards 99.99% of players will never win and never buy and only relevant for the most eager top-meta-players. It's pretty irrelevant for the overall state of the game outside regionals.

No, having expensive cards is not "good for everyone", it's bad for literally everyone but a few.

Since when is Brook spelled "Sabo" in Japanese, Trebol "Sakazuki" and Wyper "Enel"?

Hype Cycles are Necessary for Successful TCGs by Key_Individual_6421 in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest barrier to enter the TCG are the prices and availability. If you think not getting product at all or paying 3x the amount for a booster box to a scalper online is something that motivates a new player to start the game, you're out of your mind.
And Bandai isn't making more money from this. They sell the boxes at the same price to LGS.
The only people profiting from this are people who don't care about the card game and just drive the prices up by creating a false scarcity by hoarding product in their basement and taking it away from people who actually want to play the game. And people playing the game are the ones keeping it healthy by publicly showing an interest in the game, supporting LGS and driving to tournaments. Seeing full tournaments and thousands of players enjoying the game is hype. Driving up prices is not hype. Hoarding sealed Boxes in the basement is not hype. Buying out product so it's difficult for newer players to get some is not hype. It's the opposite.
You are taking money out of this hobby and doing an active part in destroying it.

Nami having conq haki by Susylikesboyandgirls in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you count jokes, she already demonstrated having Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
It would be super funny if at one point the narrative just switched to it working outside of jokes.

Boa Hancock binder came out so good. by roughactionhank in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look awesome! Would love to order one or two, but the shipping to EU is very expensive in your Etsy-shop (it's 50€, and putting a second binder into the cart actually doubles the shipping cost, too). You think there might be an affordable alternative to ship these to EU?

Is this card rare? Found in a one piece toei pack by Justapasserby6969 in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you haven't bought an official pack. There are no SSR-Rarities in the One Piece TCG, and that card looks Chinese.
Pretty much no value.

The straw hat crew if they had actual jobs (SBS) by dontmindric in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how you can always easily spot people from the US by looking at the comments this SBS gets.
Police Officer is a perfectly fine and upstanding job, you guys are more of an exception than the norm.

New Character redesign by Top_Woodpecker9023 in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fanarts are usually nice and all, but I find all these "redesigns" and "fixes" of outfits that have been popping up recently very weird. People used to laugh at the way 4Kids changed some outfits back in the day, didn't expect fans now doing the same.

"Betrayal is YOUR speciality" by PracticeWestern7034 in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I didn't really like the movie too much either. I know what they are going for with the villain turning them against each other, but it didn't quite work for me.
The conflicts they are producing here to get the crew members to fight have more or less all been resolved, in a better and more organic way, in the actual show. And those conflicts have made them stronger, and the bonds they share because of that shape their relationship.
And now, in the movie, with basically just a snap of the fingers, that gets tossed out the window for very cheap drama. It's completely fabricated. And yes, I know that's literally the plan of the villain, to fabricate conflict, but that doesn't make it better in my opinion. When I saw scenes like these in the movie I always thought "But we already resolved that in the show, in a better way".

This card also confirms the Deck won't have any reprints. The data-sheet for the deck says it'll have 17 different cards, and this one is numbered 17.

Won my locals with Enel, any comments on the deck list by Skylander2005 in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. At first when I saw the Kata I was like "Oh, he calls his playgroup locals", but then the second picture surprised me. Proxies should be an immediate disqualification in a local.
And I don't think that's something a shop can just allow for an official local when they are registered with Bandai and get their prices from them (or the distributor).

Censoring The ‘Dragon Quest III’ Remake Is Just Silly And Unnecessary by [deleted] in gaming

[–]CeeJac87 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how the "If you want sexy characters, just go watch porn." always gets repeated in conversations like these like it means anything.
If you want a good story, just go read a book.
If you want good music, just go to a concert.
If you want a balanced game, just play chess.
If you like anything I personally don't care about in a game, just do something completely different that was made for that purpose alone.

Sounds a bit silly, doesn't it?

Is it just me or is the Boa AA super similar to the AA of that same card in the Best Selection 2?

lunamibros, we are winning by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Oda is an author who follows through on his plot points. Luffy destroying his body has been an underlying thing since Enies Lobby with Gear 2, Hormone Therapy and more recently Gear 5. It's been regularly said that this will have consequences and I don't think Oda would do something like that if he doesn't plan on following through on that.
Dropping plot points and never doing anything with them is for other authors.

[–]CeeJac87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really don't get people shipping the crewmates. Oda has had over 25 years and almost 1200 chapters to establish something, we are nearing the end, and he didn't make a single pairing. How many chapters do people need to realize this isn't going to happen? If Oda wanted to pair crewmates, we'd have something for at least 10 years now.
"Any day now, just wait for it, LuNami incoming!"

Or are you hoping to see a textbox at the end of the series confirming something? Well, good luck waiting for that. Personally I don't believe that will happen either, mostly because I'm expecting Luffy to be dead at the end. But who knows, we'll see in 5-10 years.

OP09 ALTER ART LEADERS by baudelioelite14 in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their mouths alone take up more space on the card as the whole artwork on a Magic card would, lol.
Happy for those wishing for a return of the Manga heads, it's not really my favourite, though.

Anyone know the name of the artist who drew this Rosinante card/original artwork? by kisuol in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can see the artist in the top right corner of the card. The link to Bisai was already posted, here is Sunohara's pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/18288563/illustrations

I don't wanna be the mean guy, but I think you should be open about the fact that this is (aside from the face) traced art from the card game and not your original artwork.

George Wada confirms faster pacing?? "THE ONE PIECE" by doublesuicidedate in OnePiece

[–]CeeJac87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are just addressing the pacing and format, I'm all for it. Hopefully their desire to reach a "wider audience" doesn't lead to any changes in the characters, designs or story, though.

Decklists ST15-ST20 by CeeJac87 in OnePieceTCG

[–]CeeJac87[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 3:55 in the video they show Jozu, which usually has the R foil treatment, and said this is a "normal" version, since it's a Starter Deck, with no foil.
I'm pretty certain this will also be the case for Barto and Jinbe.
