Lemon-Lime posted:You're not going to get away from those "few rules problems" because the game was built around Switch-to-finisher and it's impossible to do what BCO did in a physical game. Well, one of the main reason is it really irks me having an option presented and then turned off, but i also like it because of all things you mentioned, the switch serves to give a bit more use to niche finishers, force-management can be an interesting part of the game and more ways to manipulate it (even of minimal impact) are good, and the 0/0/0/0 is a godsend for some characters. While i played before with another blank style representing finishers, the next time i can play irl ( covid sucks), i'll try adding the provision that when used the style is thrashed regardless of the finisher being actually played or not, hoping that this way those option-selects are void.

Switch is potentially important for style conservation at times. Not *often*, but it gives you an option that essentially provides an extra style in the turns following its use, or lets you reserve some powerful styles more easily.

On my holiday break I decided to finally consolidate things to BattleCON Unleashed and, uh, what do I actually need to bring from other BCon sets? My initial foray made me realize that War is pretty...complete? Is there a resource somewhere that tells me exactly what to save?

My initial foray made me realize that War is pretty...complete? Is there a resource somewhere that tells me exactly what to save? The short answer is "if it's a card that's part of a fighter's regular kit, you can trash it" Every single style, unique base, and finisher for every fighter was reprinted. You need to bring in all of their chipboard components though; standees, tokens, markers.

Oh god okay so I missed out on the Unleashed kickstarter and I have old copies of Devastation and Trials. What's my upgrade path at this point? Do I have to buy the games again? Not that I mind doing that necessarily because the games are great and Level99 can take my money, but if there's a cleaner way to do it I'll take it. I threw out the insert for Devastation and just have everything in a bunch of plastic bags like an idiot so the tuck boxes would be nice.

If you missed out on Unleashed you missed out on the storage box/upgrade patches as that was KS-exclusive. Devastation Remastered and Wanderers are both 4.0 and commercially available. Trials has also gotten a 4.0 upgrade that is available from L99 (make sure you're not just buying Trials 3.0 if you're getting it from a LGS or e-tailer). As of now, there's no news on 4.0 upgrades of War Remastered or Fate but it would make sense for those to come in the future.

Errata Pack confirmed for Bcon unleashed. Theyre making a free PnP set, and listing the cards on DriveThruCards for those that want professionally printed ones. Two tiers of cards, High Priority which are actual gameplay effecting oopsies, and Low Priority which are just small gaffes like the "SI" instead of Shield icon for stun immunity and stuff like that

It's nice they're at least doing something but it sucks that the options are printing that poo poo on paper at home and sticking it in the card sleeves like you're proxying 4.0, or paying $50 to buy 30 errata cards whose backs won't even match the official printing. I already spent $300 on Unleashed.

I posted this over in the Kickstarter thread, but people here might be interested: Michael Kelley of One Stop Co-op Shop recently developed solo variants for BattleCON and Exceed (s3 and 4, Street Fighter/Shovel Knight): Here's BattleCon: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2556156/solo-variant-4th-edition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IWKoS7JomQ Here's Exceed: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2586108/solo-variant-video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWrXFeirmfo I haven't tried them, but good on the guy for thinking outside the box.

Been playing quite a bit of BattleCON lately and thanks to the TTS module I’m starting to categorise the characters in very distinct categories. There’s general good all rounder characters that are generally fun to play (Shek, Varrah, Eligor etc), there are assholes that make the game frustrating for your opponent (Beanvier, Lixis, Cherri, Arec etc), there are ones that require galaxy brains to play (Endrbyt, Gaspar) and then there’s probably the saddest group, which is just characters that are kinda uninspired or seem to be missing something. I think Zaamassal falls in the latter. I’ve only had a chance to play and face him a couple of times but he’s always seemed lacklustre to me. His prio spread is alright but nothing to brag about, with a +2/+1/-1 spread, but his real issue is his incredibly bad power spread, which only has -1/+1 modifier. This is meant to be supplemented by his Chip 2 plane but keeping it up to actually deal damage can be difficult and prevents him from reacting to his opponent using other planes. He just seems somehow both too flexible and too restrictive and just doesn’t really seem to do anything well. If he had good sources of damage outside of a single plane he could leverage this to actually use planes that counter his opponent, but he just doesn’t. It just seems like a very uninspired design to me.

And I'd include the deliberately un-updated tokens (i.e. petrify and the ones that have old keywords) in the question. There is a bit of theoretical feel-bad that "the ultimate edition" isn't the best version of the game, but without having the set in hand I can't really judge if it's a big deal or not.

I don't care about the non-updated tokens but a bunch of the printing mistakes have actual mechanical impact, like printing cards with a missing or incorrect +/- sign, or Dareios' drinks giving you double the intended stats RAW.

It's insane how many cards and artwork this game has.

Yeah, QA was a bit disappointing. Not sure how this wasn’t caught as many are wrong. 1 or 2 is understandable, but this was like 10+ mess ups. Also my red ink is all sorts of hues, not sure what’s up with that.

Notably, no word yet on the minor errata Edit: the word on the minor errata is "well is over 500 cards. Most are just capitalization errors. It's too expensive to print and ship on our cost, and while we could put it up on DTC, that's a product we'd recommend nobody actually buy" jivjov fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 5, 2021 |

Mine showed up this morning and I think I lucked out, the divider is only a bit bent with one crack so should suffice. Still, whichever idiot thought that putting all the cards in the middle section needs a slap upside the head. Might wait and see what is going to happen with the errata etc. before starting to move stuff over. Sad that between this and Unleashed they've had major QC issues... Also new Empyrial KS coming soon, reprint plus a new mini expansion.

The manufacturer of the inserts is blaming the folks who assembled the whole package for fulfillment, and the fulfillment folks are blaming the manufacturers. I think it boils down to L99 didn't give explicit instructions on how to pack it and trusted everyone else involved to do it right, and they instead did it quick

Mine as well, my middle divider is a bit bent outwards but I didn't see any cracks in it. I must have lucked out, the cards in the middle weren't even turned on their sides and that's all the damage I saw. It's gonna take forever to put the whole game in there, though. Not to mention sleeving all the new cards... I'd be interested in a casual Battlecon League, I've only played a few games of Battlecon Online so I don't think I'd enter a tournament.
