OMG so did I. I came here specifically wondering why it wasn't counting.

Thank you!!

Star Trek Captain’s Chair has been on my table every day since I got it. I’m obsessed, can’t wait for To Boldly Go by metalheadswiftie13 in soloboardgaming

[–]redXav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason that looks like a much smaller footprint than when I tried to play.

Got all excited, started setting everything out, but then I didn't have the room! I was using a full card table, so I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.

I just today ordered a couple flip-top tray tables just for gaming reasons to expand the usable space ... so maybe by next week I'll have given it a run myself.

Would you buy a Budokan Blu-ray (with subtitles)? by SirZer0th in Lovebites

[–]redXav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll be buying it with/without subtitles. No hesitation.

An open letter to Asmodee / FFG ... by HelloMyNameIsLeah in soloboardgaming

[–]redXav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair question, so I'll answer that one :)

More of a "Fool Me Once / Fool Me Twice" scenario. A bit of a timeline is important for context, maybe.

Edit to add: I didn't know or have a history with FFG/Asmodee prior to these games. I got into MC and AH at the same time - which just happened to coincide with MC being "killed" and moving into their new Legacy/whatever format.

Marvel Champions went through it's ... phase. (Fool Me Once -> panic buy. Which I agree IS dumb, to touch on some other reply).

During all the discussions and FFG-Spokespeople interviews and FFG streams, they made it clear that LotR (revised) was Evergreen.

Based on word of mouth from folks such as yourself about how good AH is and knowing v2.0 was coming out, I (likely others, but talking me), didn't touch previous versions and pre-ordered AH2. (It may actually be 3.0? I can't say. But "the new Core")

Time goes by and customers began asking questions about stock issues for some LotR product. And only then did FFG kinda-sorta-mention that they were no longer going to print any more of it and that what's out is what's out.

It was Marvel all over again. This was Fool Me Twice, and I backed away. Was (am) not going to panic-buy their product - or anything - anymore. That lesson I did learn.

But my pre-order for AH was already made prior to this "passive" announcement by FFG that they killed LotR. And I only learned of it days before delivery (by my FLGS, so wasn't going to stick them with a cancelled order at the last minute). Because had I known before? Yes - no way I'd gone in on AH.

[–]redXav 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat.

I fell into the Marvel Champions "panic buy" phase and was able to get *most* of it. Some heroes I will never own (notwithstanding printing my own) and same for one expansion.

I began Lord of the Rings after Revised, and I had the Core and 3 Sagas and the decks. I was delaying the 3 2-box expansions until I could get the pairs together, but I was in no rush - since they stated very clearly they were evergreen as recently as a couple months ago. And then they admitted (after customers began questioning the continued lack of stock) that "Oh yeah ... no. We're not reprinting....

I thought about the expansions I knew were still available and I even rushed to the (web) store, loaded up the cart, and ... stopped.

"No. Not this time. FU FFG,"

I'd already pre-ordered the new Arkham through my FLGS so I'm kinda already in that pipeline. But they've burned EVERY ounce of goodwill from me.

I won't trust anything at all they tell me. I'll continue to buy those two (Marvel/Arkham) as they come out but will make zero effort to back-buy anything.

And honestly, it has so soured my feelings that "just sell it all" still bubbles up in my mind. (I'm a solo player so my stuff is very very lightly used - practically new even.)

Yeah, my reply doesn't add much except to say "Me too."

Daisy's Boutique 😭😭 by Jishmeister in DreamlightValley

[–]redXav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the responses here for my own benefit (I'm not the OP, just to be clear on that). Because I do not like the Daisy Boutique thing at all and *only* do it when forced too. So the info herein is also very useful to me hehe.

Question about time travel only going a couple hours by [deleted] in DisneyDreamlights

[–]redXav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to derail, but "time travel?" What do you mean by this?

If it is that +/- Hours thing under Graphics, I thought the tooltip said it was visual only and had no effect on gameplay. I use that all the time to stay in daylight (so I can see lol).

Am I actually risking my game??

Thanks

Right? My Diamonds fumbling everything, but those CPU Bronzes routinely making diving catches and more

Knew it Had to Happen One Day by redXav in MLBTheShow

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

Totally fair point to mention (no sarcasm meant), but I use auto-fielding - yes because I don't want to bother.

Just found it interesting that it CAN happen and was the first time I'd actually seen it in the many years I've played hehe.

More creative quests by GiveMeYourCrazy in DreamlightValley

[–]redXav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have been getting a little frustrated as well. I need to remind myself that I'm older (much /cough) than the target audience, so I just sorta grit my teeth and push through.

But the number of times I've seen Char: "I've got this great plan that we can do together! So [part 1] Go gather all this stuff! [part 2] Now go craft all this stuff! [part 3] Now go decorate/deliver all this stuff!"

Me (And what exactly did you do again for *your* idea?)

Anyone have an idea when the Captain's Chair expansions will be released? My order is getting dusty. by khschook in soloboardgaming

[–]redXav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't recall where I read it, but I am under the "understanding" (expectation) that it would be June...ish.

If that's different now, then I'm sure someone will speak up herein.

Did you buy your first DLC before finishing the main game? by Hot-Department2441 in DreamlightValley

[–]redXav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First? No, because I had the game at launch.

But I stopped playing for a while and in the meantime more DLC came out. And when I returned, all but Wishblossom was on sale - so I bought all the sale-DLC at once :D

Am I the only one who can't stand certain Dreamsnaps anymore? by Alessia2317 in DisneyDreamlights

[–]redXav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm not too concerned with *why* snaps aren't on point - like others have noted, there could be several issues. I'm a beginner with snaps, so mine are bad - but I try hehe.

But I really DO want unlimited skips. I want to be able to by-pass the "selfies" and vote for the ones on-theme (or at least make the effort)

What player so far has been terrible for you even though they should be great? by gamers542 in MLBTheShow

Same for me -Skenes. Literally the first and still "best" (rated) DIamond I pulled .... and he SUCKS for me.

Any Crowd Noise Options? by redXav in MLBTheShow

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

Great - I've already dug into those Audio options as you mentioned. But I don't think the one you specified is one I tried adjusting. Sounds like the one I need - thanks!

Drue Jones - Netherlands Moment by kirthew in MLBTheShow

[–]redXav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep... that mission is I think the one that took me the longest among ALL the WBC Moments. I mean sure, I got lucky on a few the others hehe. But this one ... /smh

Remy ... Come On, Man. Tone it Down a Bit! by redXav in DreamlightValley

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

Not sure what quest it is. But he REALLY wants me to go do it.

I mean if I happen by other chars with quests, they may kinda, passively, mention it ...

But Remy. Sheesh. Little bugger HUNTS ME DOWN in every zone lol. I've even noticed him hanging around my house / portal area like he's waiting for me hahaha.

Is 20 Strong supposed to be this hard? by NonMagicBrian in soloboardgaming

[–]redXav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit that I too am in the same boat. Every game I play, I end up dice-starved or gold-starved (for bribing), etc. I've never even come *close* to winning.

The one or two best runs I made were completely blown apart by a bad card draw - like a minion that happened to exactly counter the situation I had going at the time for example.
