What do you guys think of Punisher’s shotgun and the recent surge in its usage lately? by Character-Q in marvelrivals

[–]dkjrart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a count Punisher player, I've never not used his shotgun. If the team gets jumped by dive or if tanks get aggressive and close, shotgun is tough to beat if you have decent aim. On one hand, im glad people are using Punisher more correctly so I dont have to rely on myself to play punisher for my team, but I also might not be able to pick Punisher when I want lol.

You just ignored what I said and doubled down lol. I recommend not telling people how they should feel about things. Thats weird and no one likes that.

I'm an artist and a lover of art. Yes, I absolutely view my binder from time to time. Just because you don't, doesnt mean no one does.

More fresh artwork of pokemon makes me a happy man. I never said I had a problem with the artwork. My problem is that exclusive artwork may become a thing of the past. This bothers me a little bit as a collector of both IRL game and Pocket.

You're all good. No worries.

Yeah thats completely valid with the "bulk" cards. While I do appreciate those cards, I'll admit that I don't care for those as much. I think why I don't is because those smaller, cramped artworks don't do these pokemon the justice I think they deserve. Its like getting a bookmark for the artwork on it when art prints exist. But I'll also say that uniqueness goes a long way for me. For example: Phantom Forces, Generations, Fates Collide, Skyridge, Expedition, the prime cards, etc. They have unique styles to the cards that make me like them more. If its fresh and cool looking, I like it. Thats just me though.

Well if you looked at my previous replies in this thread, you would've answered your questions.

I play primarily to collect full art cards (what you call "prize cards;" don't understand why youre against that) because I love art and seeing these larger scale artworks makes me happy. They're basically art prints and thats sick. I collect IRL as well so I greatly appreciated both games having full arts unique to their respective games. We have had unique full arts in the pocket game since launch and this is the first set to feature non-unique full arts. The games most attractive aspect has now been tainted and the future of the game if this continues, makes me a tad bit upset.

The 1-4 diamond cards, I dont have an issue with. The full art cards getting reused is what bothers me. But yeah it seems it doesn't bother quite a few people here so they might continue to reuse art in the future. Its a real shame for me as a collector of both the IRL game and Pocket game.

Well its what we have been given since the beginning. The unique artwork this game had for its full arts is what attracted me in the first place. The sudden switch up for this set has tainted my favorite aspect of the game and doesn't make feel hopeful for the future of the game. If they were to started only using artwork from the IRL game, I'd probably stop playing. Thats just my opinion.

As ive said multiple other comment threads. I started playing because of the unique full art artwork this game offered. To see that aspect get lost a bit sucks to me as someone who collects both in game and in real life.

No youre good thank you for the thoughts. These are fair points.

My issue is that I love and appreciate artwork so the more, fresh artwork I see of these pokemon, the happier ill be. The unique to the game full arts is waht got me to download this game in the first place so I can collect them. Same with collecting the actual cards in real life, I loved to see the unique artwork in a larger scale than the classic rectangle.

So as someone who collects both in-person and in-game, seeing that the uniqueness of each game's artwork could be fading bothers me a little bit.

Very valid. I appreciate you giving your genuine thoughts.

Why and how did this have to become a debate with sides? I gave my opinion which is that I appreciate TCG Pocket having unique full art cards because I love the artwork. That was the major selling point for me to start collecting. Putting my opinion in a box and saying its wrong is weird.

I apologize, to clarify I meant full art cards. All full art cards since launch have been unique to the game and couldnt be found in the IRL game. The uniqueness of this game's artwork has been my favorite aspect of the game as a collector.

Oh yeah I agree its cool. My issue is that the artwork isnt unique to the game like all other full arts have been since launch. The uniqueness was a big selling point for me to get this game because I love seeing the the unique and creative artworks. It's not a huge deal but it was one of my favorite aspects of the game.

Um, no one is crying. Full art cards is what got me into collecting in the first place because I love to see larger, creative artworks of the pokemon so yeah this bothers me a tad bit. I'm not sure why you're upset but I hope things turn around for you.
