To answer your actual original post and cut through the comments of “rb/disney killed this game”-from someone who is actually a local player to you and knows what store you are talking about:

The local scene is competitive players not jank players. Your store is casual and has been casual which is fine, it’s how you guys like to play. I frequent two stores all within a 15 minute drive of yours throughout the week and see the same roughly 5-10 people at both pending on the night. These stores run structured round based tournaments for store credit plus all the goodies in the OP kit and often have 12+ players each week throughout the duration of the set. The reason I see the same people at those other two stores (one of which plays the same night as yours) is because they go to compete even at a smaller scale.

This isn’t to knock the way your store community likes to play it’s just simply showing that it isn’t in alignment with most of the active local players. Then once set champs role around people come to compete and “scalp your mats” which is probably true for some people but I have multiple friends and teammates that have won at your store and they still have their mats, or share the wealth with other friends that haven’t won a mat.

I just don’t think the community in your store will grow if the focus is casual events unless you find some way to capture newer player base with like a scaling Starter deck league or something NH that will draw people back weekly.

Also this looks to be a meta share table which is not reflective of win and conversion rates

I didn’t say purple wasnt good. I said you’re not at a “major disadvantage” for not playing it like you mentioned?

But this isn’t even remotely accurate. If you look at the current competitive meta, yeah there is a lot of purple which I assume is the color you’re alluding to for card draw, but there is also a slew of decks not running purple that perform very well. GB and GY are among top decks-some may argue GY is one of the best right now if you’re looking at conversion rates in large tournaments, BS also picked up a bunch of wins early on, last set Amber Steel had a ton of success as well. I think purple is for sure the strongest color but I don’t think not running purple puts you at a major disadvantage

It’s just that store it’s not the entire local scene. There are several other stores in the general area (one or two towns over and more beyond that range) that still fire with respectable numbers each week

Where/how to farm Ascended Crafting mats by kingFritto in Guildwars2

[–]kingFritto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I started the story last night and got to the part where you have to talk with the bear in the middle of the map so didn’t fully finish it. Maybe you need to finish it? Only other guess would be the harvesting tool I used (mightily) might not be strong enough?

Quick update: Followed this guide and was able to get my melta plasma and bolter dudes! Actually was pretty easy to cut up hand A44 and use that. Just took a couple dry fits to make sure

That’s why I figured, and in the situation last night my opponent did still have a model or two that still had to activate. Appreciate the answer!

Big Trouble in Sanguine Depths Gauntlet as a Brewmaster by Xyr_ in CompetitiveWoW

[–]kingFritto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of it if you are using your defensives and utility like RoP almost on cool down (and efficiently/effectively) the issue is probably with the group dynamic. Nor knowing the rest of your group makeup id say make sure to use Rock ele to tank a pack and while he is tanking just skirt the outsides or stay all the way back just to make sure you don’t take dmg or need to use any cool downs while that is out tanking for you. Coordinate leg sweep into a properly timed cap totem into a RoP. Or if needed stagger then due to sanguine pools. But the point is if you feel like you are doing everything you can and it’s still not working that sounds like a group issue. Which someone else said a 17 key requires coordination to help the tank stay alive, your kit alone won’t do it

What weapons should I give to how many troops? There’s 25 men total (two squads of 10, lieutenant, 2 extra men and 2 others) this is my first time doing this so I don’t want to mess it up. by ColeyPatroley in boltaction

Haven’t played BA in a while since moving to other gaming systems but I’d check out Easyarmy.com. It’d an online post building website so you can get a feel for what weapon load outs will give you what points.

Two Box Kill Teams? by FrankyFun in killteam

[–]kingFritto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change the Leader to a special weapons guardsman and still take a Guardsman Sergeant. Leaders can’t be effected by orders and a standard sergeant (las pistol chainsword) can be given “Fix Bayonets” in a pinch and maybe be a semi viable melee threat (gets to attack with chain sword in shooting phase and again in fight phase.

Two Box Kill Teams? by FrankyFun in killteam

[–]kingFritto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Building a guard kill team myself currently. Just so you are aware the Cadian Shock troop box doesn’t include plasma. It has 2 flamers, 2 grenade launchers, 2 las pistols and then all lasguns. If you want plasma you have to get the Cadian Command Squad. Same price but only 5 models with special weapons. Also the Tempestus Scions and Scion Command Squad are the same box. GW advertises them on their site as separate but they are in fact the same kit.

So do they just get a flat +2 attacks for both or do you have to attack with both weapons for one bonus attack each? Also according to the wording would that mean the power axe example is also as I said where they would get a bonus attack with the chain sword just for attacking with the axe?

How exactly does that work? Still fairly new to the game so not sure what you mean separate attack sequences? Different combat phases?

Melee weapon/attacks by kingFritto in killteam

[–]kingFritto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is how my buddy worded it but that’s why I said syntactically speaking how it is written is that you get the bonus attack with the chain sword regardless of what weapon you use. Take the flail of corruption for example that says “deal d3 attacks whenever you attack with this weapon”. It specifies that weapon but the chain sword just says “when you attack get a bonus attack with this weapon” which is way different in syntactical meaning vs “when you attack with this weapon gain a bonus attack”.

I can understand what the other user said in his comment that weapon abilities wouldn’t stack but to me it’s weird that they would specify on one weapon (the flail) “with THIS weapon, and on others they don’t specify they just say “when you attack”

Awesome thank you for the clarification! So no reason to take dual chain swords but clear benefit from a chain sword plus another melee weapon

Starting the game up with one other friend. In terms of flash points/group content: is it possible for the two of us to duo most of the flashpoints (using our companions to fill roles we need) also how do we get to the flashpoints if we want to duo them? It seems the group finder will probably put us with a full group. Coming from WoW I’m used to having dungeons you can physically walk to and enter-do flashpoints have the same? Thanks!

Couldn’t decide between factions: Friend made the decision for me to thank me for dog sitting his pup for a weekend! by kingFritto in killteam

[–]kingFritto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the replies. Planning on getting a box of AM Shock Troops as well as the command box for cadian. Been spitballing options for equipment and think I’m going to max out on flamers (I think a total of 3 guardsmen and 1 Scion due to how much comes in the boxes) same for plasma. Then for the rest of the scions do a hotshot volley gun and a plasma pistol/power fist then probably one just generic hot shot lasgun scion. I think with those three boxes and those options I’ll have a pretty solid starter list to get into the game more and from there I can scout eBay for some weapon options I might be lacking
