Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Is NetRunner "spoiler season" more or less insufferable than Magic's spoiler season? Netrunner spoiler season is certainly more annoying because it's like an American election cycle, it has no beginning and just when it's about to end it all starts up again. At least with Magic there's downtime where you get to play with your new cards for 2~ months before the next standard set rather than always having to look forward to the next data pack.

Literally always fire that ABT. If you didn't want to fire it, why play it????????berenzen posted:Blackmail val is probably the easiest way to find out if your deck can handle runner tricks or not, because it's the simplest way for a runner to deal with corp ICE. I can understand frustration playing against it, but how is it different than a nexus bypass or your big barrier getting femmed? Or just straight up the runner making enough money to handle any sort of ICE that you put up on a server? Breaking ICE has always been the last option for a runner in order to get into a server. Usually they use tricks to bypass it in some way. Like, if your deck can't handle blackmail val, how does it deal with other bypass methods. If blackmail Val really has you down, either play shell games with 2 ICE remotes, or splash in Ark lockdown to get rid of them. The reason Blackmail gets the most hate compared to those other options you mentioned is setup cost and scope. Blackmail is a 1 cost event that you get to recur for 0 and some clicks or 2 and a click. Security Nexus is 8 to play and needs credits or other link setup to function, Femme is 9 and also at least requires some credit to use. They're also both single target, and yeah they can both easily be moved around (easier for Nexus) they can't just invalidate an entire server alone like Blackmail.

Anarch/NBN all the way. Can't say I'm at all surprised, they're both far and away the best factions on their respective sides. At least with Anarch that hasn't been true for the last 4 years, NBN is going to be, and has been king for life.

The Deleter posted:I'm going to assume incompetence as the playtesters of Netrunner are volunteers and not paid professionals who should be doing this poo poo for a living. Your mistake here is assuming that the playtester feedback on cards like this is taken into account rather than ignored. There's no way anyone who's played the game would look at this card and say "Yeah, this looks like a thing we should print." knowing that Parasite/Mimic/Yog exist. Why play ICE at all if it's this easy to kill. Lowering your handsize by one for a turn isn't even a real cost, you still avoid Scorched Earth at 4 cards and BOOM! kills you regardless with 4 or 5 with Placrete saving you in both instances.

CodfishCartographer posted:Disclaimer: I have not worked in the tabletop games industry, but have worked for almost ten years in the video game industry, with a lot of those years being involved with testing, both for bugs and gameplay stuff, and the rest being involved with game design. So I guess take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, but there is a little foundation here. The tricky part here is that nobody can refute your speculation, as any playtesters are going to be unable to directly contradict you due to the NDAs involved, doubly so for a product that is yet to be officially released, and any other party is not going to have the information about how FFG does their playtesting.

LordNat posted:http://ancur.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_and_Water_UFAQ That's absolutely dreadful in multiple ways. Not only is that completely not what the card says, now it changes the card from "Spend my turn to trash your stuff" into "Spend my turn to Trash All My ICE".

namad posted:Didn't FFG promise that the core set and the four major expansions would never rotate? When they announced rotation, the specific language they used for the Core Set and Big Boxes was "The Most Recent Printing Of This Box Will Be Legal" giving themselves wiggle room to do this with.
