Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
Apparently the first test wasn't as close as it first seemed since Smithy Winfred just told me in a PM that the army with Grundy had 200 more points to account for him not being able to ressurect. I told him that it would be nice if he put the point totals on the test sheet because we have too much to do to add them all up all the time to see what the army points are.
So it's looking like for sure he can be boosted. Maybe tonight I'll pm the other testers to have them bump him up to 500 or 550 points for any test they haven't started yet.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
Yeah, actually I think a number of play testers have gotten bad at not putting Army point totals in their tests.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
Yeah, but Heroes are inconsistent with that too, Margloth, so I'm not sure if we've expressed that as a clear expectation. I know Griff never really put down army point totals. It's definitely something I always do, because I know it helps me analyze my results. So if we want to ask public testers to do that, I'm all for it.
And, yeah, maybe go 500 for now, Hahma? C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
I don't like when public testers make assumptions like that and give one team way more points or something. If you are going to draft Grundy against Thanos you better avoid him or kill him before he kills you with his SA.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
I just sent PM's to the testers and asked them to bump his cost to 500 points for any tests that they haven't started yet.
I agree Tickle and PM'd SW about not adjusting army costs like that. He replied that he did it because of Thanos' speed and maneuverability. I told him that we don't do that. Thanos is just a great counter to Grundy and Doomsday, but so what, we have a ton of other figures to use. I also said that opponents often avoid attacking Grundy if possible to bypass him coming back, so that's no different than Thanos killing him and not letting him come back. I said there are lots of situations that Grundy isn't good in, but if he can be moved/carried to help his mobility and get engaged to an opponent's 300+ point figure, then he can make things happen by doing damage and forcing the opponent to deal with him and maybe allow him to come back later. I also asked him to include army point totals at the end of each listed army. We have enough to look at without having to add up army points.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
When did it ever become OK for playtesters to make those kinds of point decisions?

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
When they are new and think they can do that.
I told him not to do it again. You don't give one army more points because you think it will make it more fair. The results will be the results based on allotted costs for each army being the same, or withing 5 or 10 points of each other. Thanos is a total counter to Grundy, Doomsday and now Gentleman Ghost. You just don't play those figures against Thanos in a real game, it wouldn't be prudent unless you can make sure those figures get killed by other means than his Permanent Death.

Thanks for helping get those young whipper snappers into shape, Hambone.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
Well, not really getting to the enemy SZ to kill Thanos' teammates didn't help here. Single activation opponent armies give Thanos plenty of them to move around and mess people up. If you can kill him on the first turn when he has all OM's on his card, that gives you 2 turns to work on his teammates.
Man, this is what ticks me off about people taking so long to get the tests in. If I needed to make adjustments, it would have been nice to have a quick turn around with tests and then bump is cost and send him back out. Of course having a couple people bail on the test didn't help either. Ugh! Seems like all the experienced testers are MIA on this one. This one might just have to go on hold for a few months after all the results are in. I'm really hating how this design is going.

Re: The C3G Book of Thanos - Playtesting phase
I'll wait until all the results are in. I want to know what the heck I'm dealing with before asking even more people to test him. Truthfully, at this point I don't really care about him getting done in any hurry anymore.
