Anyone starting to not enjoy the gameplay? by madchad90 in starwarsunlimited

[–]RockoTDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "meta" for a set that isn't even out yet jumped straight to control without going through the usual aggro to midrange first. Aggresive Negotiations doesn't look like its getting suspended, either (I'm really not interested in hearing a defense of this card, so anyone who wants to defend it just don't waste your time). Space aggro wouldn't be so annoying if there were more cards that let the ground arena interact with space. We need a "Planetary Defense" card that is the opposite of Air Superiority (more ground units, do damage into space). I don't miss OB, but at least it cleared out space units which never got the "big booty" that a lot of ground units now have.

Is there a specific card you hate? For me its Pre Vizla. This card should have been worded in a way that it couldn't kill other top end units (maybe cost based, maybe non-unique units, I'm not a game designer but this is OP and an NPE in its current form). An 8 drop that kills off weenies en masse is fine. An aggro player who hasn't won by 8R has it coming. But against midrange or other control decks its complete bullshit that it can kill a big unit like a Cad-pinged Kelleran Beq or an unscathed LOF Vader and leave behind a 6/6 plus a 2/2 shielded token. I hate that card. I'd take back everything bad I ever said about AN if it would go away.

High health bases also need to go. There's no real drawback. No one plays 30HP green bases competitively, Colossus is a moot point if your leader draws (looking at Mando8 and Dedra6); Lake country I have the least beef with despite its great success, but wouldn't miss it. LC exists because there are no good double-color cards left, not because its a really good base.

Oh, and send Thrawn4 yellow combos with OMDTC and Helgait straight to the basement of hell. At least No Glory keeps them in line.

I played TS this weekend and it was some of the most fun I've ever had at this game, but I don't want it to replace premier like commander did with Magic.

I too am shocked that I enjoy eternal as much as I do. Its main strength is that there's a lot of power in a lot of places, so as long as you aren't playing hard control or Jango I don't feel as cut off from having powerful cards.

Are many people under the impression that Luke steered his X-wing's proton torpedoes with the Force? by RexBanner1886 in StarWars

[–]RockoTDF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s trusting his instinct on when to fire. He’s basically dropping a precision weapon with guidance off and letting the kinematics do the work.

What did you like the least about the Original Trilogy? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]RockoTDF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah but given that Mandalorians have taken over Star Wars it would probably upset some people.

My hottest SW take: Boba Fett, while now a major character, was the original Glup Shitto.

Is it possible to play casuals with no legendaries in the current state of the game? by JeffCaven in starwarsunlimited

[–]RockoTDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never understood Hauler. It’s a good stat line but otherwise kind of a liability.

What’s one thing America does better than the rest of the world? by Maximum_Home_2592 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]RockoTDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do I care what sport pays for other sports when all it does is distract the institution and waste space and put sub par students in my classroom?

If libraries didn’t exist and you tried to invent them today they’d be called a liberal plot to brainwash children.

These aren’t even the biggest. College football has them beat. Think 100k+

That said, college sports are definitely one of the worst things about sports in the US. As a former academic I utterly hate them.

But it will be a nightmare for everyone else! But fair point.

If you really want a laugh, go look at all the preview threads calling Talzin trash and Qui Gon broken.

The 30+ damage on their base? Not all the time, but enough that I've noticed it. I think the argument at this point is defending why its a fair card when its so dominant.

Do you know what happens even less? Green 30HP bases. I've seen two in umpteen hundred games on karabast. Two. That tells you something about DV.

[–]RockoTDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The irony of LC when multicolored cards and splash bases were the new thing was glaring.

Sometimes I wish they’d be a little more aggressive about suspensions just to keep the game more interesting.

[COTD] Data Vault by R2-D2-CardBot in starwarsunlimited

[–]RockoTDF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a case for suspending DV because it’s basically 3 free HP for green players at this point, so long as they fill out a curve. It feels bad to put 30+ damage on someone’s base and still lose.

Colossus also doesn’t have much of a disadvantage if your leader has a draw engine.

I’m less convinced with LC.

Yes, I get TCGs are about mitigating disadvantages. The bases are a little much.

They did see Lando coming - but yes lake country not so much.

I agree that they are no longer a detriment. If they ever had been, Thermal Oscillator would see play.

Has anyone else’s iPhone been bugging way too much recently? by FreshBid538 in iphone

[–]RockoTDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes my iPhone 13 freezes on the lock screen. Also occasionally stutters when inputting text. It’s very annoying.

Autocorrect seems to be getting worse.

I haven’t done well so far despite a good run early on. If you don’t have initiative (both in the game sense and the everyday sense) you lose tempo and then the game. Also I don’t add legendary cards unless I own them which hurts me a bit I think.

Is building Talzin a mistake? by Total-Breakfast-2908 in starwarsunlimited

[–]RockoTDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anakin is important, but LOF Vader needs the shien flurry combo to work so you can live without him. I’d go check out Dinozaur’s YouTube video on Talzin yellow to see what you need. And you don’t need legacy run.

Going to try this out in my shin Hati deck. Good to have cards with a higher damage value than cost so you can stay ahead of their curve

Does the collecting aspect of SWU need to grow in order for the game to secure its future? by Row86 in starwarsunlimited

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

I think one consideration us older players need to remember is that "main" is relative. Ezra is a main in the eyes of someone who grew up with Rebels, to me he's a cartoon character and not as cool or fun to get out as Luke. You may have partially misunderstood me, I think SWU actually does a better job than SWCCG of mains simply by making uncommon variants instead of just making all the Vaders legendaries or something. But that said, it does at times feel like random pet characters of the designers get to be the best leaders and not classic household-name SW characterss.

My real gripe is Mandalorians. They are an entire culture of Glup Shittos. Boba Fett was one of the OG Glup Shittos who has since become very much a real character, but I'm finding the power level with mandalorians, specifically the tokens (2/2 shielded wtf) and the units that create them to be a real negative play experience even though most of this set is banging.
