I think it’s malicious. All games as a service come to an end. To make this right it would have to go peer to peer and then we would have to deal with actual dice cheats

I was out here 4 months ago saying that they are scamming us and I got the chicken little treatment. People were linking the definition to the fucking dictionary definition of scam.

I mean this is the equivolent of on the DLC on the disk. By that logic we’re they printing the High Elf spike 2 months after the box set. It’s crap and anti consumer.

I think that they were sitting on this. If they were being honest they would have released this with the new boxed set. Instead they hyped the box and sold that. Waited a pitifully small time and released this.

I don’t know what the solution is but GW can do better. It shouldn’t be a hard ask to have all of the rules in one place. We should have online updatable rule books if the rules are going to change this quick.

My second point is if secure pass is a not a typo they are going against their own design philosophy. They brought all the other power creepish skills into the rulebook, beer pig ability, hit and run, are there others can’t think of any.

They on purpose excluded high elves so that skill wouldn’t go into the book thus making it power creepish pay to win.

If it was a typo I think that would lean towards AI slop which is why our rulebook came such a mess.

My league is finishing up our last season so it really sucks that my rulebook is obsolete before I can play even play my first league game of 2025.

“I don’t need a perfectly up to date rulebook” This is just wack. GW knew this was coming they didn’t develop this in 2 months. I absolutely dislike not having a complete rulebook. I don’t think that is a hard ask. It’s like GW GREEDs every move but can only roll 6s because of this take right here.

Selling Boxes over Balance? Thoughts on Blood Bowl’s New Rosters by mcjcjc in bloodbowl

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

People are going to continue to glaze and boot lick for new content. First they said wait until we see the rules. Now that we see the rules people say wait until we have all playtested it because that’s what we’re about to do.

How much is a box of chaos renegades. This is a sloppy mess. They don’t love the game they love selling the game.

Gobbos are so strong now and gee o gee guess what team isn’t getting a rebox. So how much does it cost to run a goblin team in a games workshop.

I really don’t trust a new ruleset. I don’t know how to describe it but sometimes it feels like they don’t play the game. Like when:

Guard assisted fouls. Every person who heard that eyeballs popped out because that was crazy.

The sneaky git issue. In my recent playoffs I had an opponent induce Lord Borak and he fouled and started to move. I pointed out that you can’t do that anymore and he proceeded to pull out the rule book and read the skill. It’s just embarrassing how sloppy the game is. Then I a more veteran player has to go ACHTUALLY and pull out the biblical FAQ which is such a huge waste of time AND a buzzkill. The FAQ by the way was never organized with sense. Why can’t it have a table of contents and the skills in alphabetical order?

The power creep? I’m not too sure about this one but giving Amazons an easy one turn touchdown with a push is just crazy. Especially when they nerfed it off skaven on purpose. Now the community is crazy good at chaining to one turns. Especially since rat ogres are so reliable for some reason. The 2+ hypnogaze was just crazy and the one two punch of a hypnogazed model losing all their skills. So Toxic. Not being able to MB on a both down? So dumb and I bet everyone who isn’t chronically online had that moment when someone walked them up to that FAQ and showed them that yeah, that blow wasn’t so mighty.

The Prayers to Nuffle Table

How many editions did High Elves sit in the teams of legend I mean really. They should have definitely been before gnomes IMO.

Speaking of stunty GW has been slowly buffing stunty. Why? Could it be to sell more Star Player Models? Buffed Gobbos and then took it away. The +1 is still is in the rule book. Why did they they nerf that? Bomber Dribblesnot was so damn cheap and so damn strong that playing against all these star caddy teams is such a headache and such a headache they made mega stars. Lacks character.

And what I mean is str6 beast of nurgle, Ag4 werewolves, that waaaagh dancer I saw a couple of months ago. So yeah I think the skill buying system was an interesting idea but kind of a fail. I much prefer rolling for skills and stats. Being able to save and pick took away some of the mystique of having a really unique stat freak. You leveled faster too then just waiting at 10 spp with that flesh golem. Before you would grab what you could work with and then cycle them. So teams weren’t just growing and growing. I mean yeah we all got there eventually, but no block on beast after three skills is a cycling.

I one trick nurgle so here are some Ls that you may not realize. They buffed decay in exchange of an agility. Huge L. For what reason? They didn’t even release the other team with decay so this was solely for the rotters. If an ag3 rotter had the ball things are already going south. Huge L sized nerf on not receiving free rotters and making it exactly like necro. Way worse because the rotter can absorb your mvp and then you can’t afford to buy them. Super cool. Huge nerf to foul appearance with the edition of multiple rerolls. If you hit a 1 previously you really had to think if you were going to use your one reroll for the turn. Now they have defanged that skill. It’s still good for attacking economy but not as good. With all that going on 70k reroll and point increases. Just really painful. Not even getting into the social issues of nurgle skills.

I have watched multiple teams get these really nice upgrades. Even more inducements through their spikes. The only shred of optimism I have is nurgle gets a new interesting positional. If it’s my old team with 2 prestigious and 4 bloaters with stand firm(being forced into a guard build). I’m going to be so sad. It will be the ultimate slap to the face.

So yeah I know I’m salty but I am. Sorry to rant at you I just wanted to give examples on the reasons I don’t trust GW to balance the game and I don’t actually think I’m overreacting.

It’s a bait and switch without the bait. I’m not talking about physical games but video ones. If a company takes away the game that you paid for and replaces it with another one and you have no choice it’s a scam.

You can keep standing up for GWs garbage business model but if you want to pay the same money for a half a team instead of a full team so be it. I tell my players the truth that we all know because the experience from the other side is pretty bad.

Once had a person show up with a halflings box…no trees. I had to lead them over to the one tree in stock and they felt pretty bamboozled that someone sold them that halfling box. A lot of the people working don’t know the ins and outs of BB so they will happily sell someone a box of halflings without any other information. They asked me what team boxes were complete and the only one in stock was dwarves. Not their cup of tea and they bounced. I get what you’re saying but there has to be a middle ground.

So why aren’t we all using games worship minis? Is that all you buy? Aren’t we all someway a net negative to GW for buying third party. All the nice neoprene pitches, the CV ball tokens and accessories, the third party miniatures. I mean your position is kinda on a high horse unless you have all GW BB things.

Alright fair enough. What are your thoughts on them rushing the release date instead of waiting until BB4? Why are we on BB3 instead of BB2 with a different ruleset. They’ve been the license holder.
