But it just seems like this was the easy/obvious choice. Card is giga bad. Vanish + gain 5 armor and cast a RaNdOm spell every turn for 10 mana is just meme tier bad. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

| SaintAkira7 01/04/20 11:17:19 PM #289 | Galakrond Shaymin gonna get it again. Looks like DR Rogue and Pirate Warrior on the block this time too. Shame, I do enjoy Apothecary into Strainer and/or Whelp, but even I will admit Apothecary is a bit much (not as broke back as the 8/8s with rush, but still...). This is good, imo. I like a more active balancing approach rather what Team 5 has typically shown; the wait and see, hope something actually counters something else approach. I can see the downside, for f2pers as well, who may have blown their (dust) load on a deck and Team 5 nerfs around the problem cards and they get a pittance in dust back. But, I'd prefer a more active (frequent) balance approach, and it seems like that's the course they're on, atm at least. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

I'm not sure that the Deathrattle Rogue that's all over ladder right now is better than Shaman, but it is absolutely less fun to play against, as is always the case with Rogue. I imagine so. Full disclosure: I mostly play rogue and picked up the apothecary rogue after watching J Alexander stream it Sunday. It is blatantly overpowered, so much so that J tweeted @ Iksar about it needing to be nerfed along with Shaymin. It is fun to play, but I definitely agree the power spikes are out of line with just about everything besides shaman Galakrond. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

I've been having fun with one of J Alexander's decks. It just goes face, always. Just deals damage and can get over taunts. It's not top tier or anything, and the margins are tiny, you're always almost dead and Myra's enough face damage to pull it off, but it's fun. I've got 9+ Mogus, so I'm hoping that gets the bat, along with roughly 1/2 of Shaymin's current standard legal collection. Fuck Shaymin. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

| SaintAkira7 11/03/19 11:54:16 AM #9 | The class epic ones seem okay. Warlock Veiled Worshipper is a 4 mana 5/4 draw 3 if you've invoked twice (probably unlikely on turn 4?) Comparable to just your regular vanilla statted minion. And the Rogue epic Umbral Skulker which is also 4 mana but a 3/3 add three coins to your hand if you've invoked twice (again, unlikely on 4 question mark). Shield of Galakrond is 5 mana 4/5 Taunt, Invoke. Which is also on par with a vanilla minion. But, as MC pointed out, most decks aren't that interested in vanilla minions. So, does adding a lackey to hand/putting two 1/1s in play make up for the vanilla stats? Idk. Just from what we've seen I'm thinking the Dragon synergies are stronger comparatively. But I think Galakrond is a mulligan keep, and how soon it's been properly invoked to create a large enough swing turn will determine when it can be played. I like the concept. It'll be interesting to see how Invoke stacks up against quests/Dragon stuff power-wise; I think the simple fact that quests start in your hand and there's even a possibility that Galakrond can be buried at the bottom of your deck tips the scales considerably in Quests favor. Now, if they print a Galakrond tutor.... --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

| SaintAkira7 11/02/19 11:02:41 PM #5 | Just wanted to mention in case it's not clear to anyone (it wasn't clear to me at first either), how the Invoke mechanic works. It's very C'Thun-like, for those that have been around long enough; you play a card with Invoke on it, and it goes toward buffing whatever battlecry your Galakrond has, but it also triggers the hero power of said Galakrond. So, for the Warlock version, when you play an Invoke card, you'll get a credit towards buffing the battlecry of the Warlock Galakrond (summon 1 random demon) and summon 2 1/1 imps. The priest version adds a (random) priest minion to your hand and iirc, the rogue version adds a lackey to your hand. Just wanted to throw this out there, as that knowledge tends to help in evaluating the Invoke cards, which on their face value may not look that great, but when taking the hero power that will trigger with it into consideration, it may (or may not) become a markedly better card. It wasn't apparent to me at first (I may just be dense >_<), so maybe this will help make it clearer to anyone else who didn't glean this knowledge initially. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

| SaintAkira7 10/19/19 8:26:28 PM #489 | UltimaterializerX posted... The entire experiment with wild cards in standard was moronic. I like the general idea of "let's bring back some old cards to shake up the meta". Just... man, I don't think they actually gave any consideration to what would actually happen when they brought these cards back. So, to me, it's a solid concept, and giving everyone access to the cards is nice. But the cards chosen weren't good calls resulting in flawed execution. Fwiw, I think while N'Zoth is problematic, it's nowhere near the level Evolve is at right now, with regards to skewing the meta. Just my 2 cents. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |
| Topic | Oh hey i'm being sued |
| SaintAkira7 10/18/19 12:16:03 PM #128 | Sorry for jumping into the middle of the thread. Seems like you're owning up to a legitimate debt that you've incurred. And that's okay. That being said, and as has been mentioned in this thread, the collection agency probably paid $50 for your debt (pulling a number out out my ass, but they literally paid pennies on the dollar for it), so they are going to be willing to work with you on this, without a doubt. Now, whether they'll knock off the interest that's accrued, I have no idea. But if, IF you get into talks about payment, keep that fact, that they paid likely a tiny sum for the debt, in mind. I'm also certain they'll be willing to work out a payment plan that you can afford; they'd rather you pay anything than have to devote more time and resources into your relatively small debt. Just some things to keep in mind. So, do everything you've already planned, with your letter and certainly questioning their right to sue, has their been previous attempts at contact, etc (including the good advice you've received from previous posters). Just trying to look at it from a worst-case, you gotta pay something back scenario. Good luck. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

I think his response is entirely respectable and I'm glad he's recognizing that his involvement could be construed in a way that he doesn't want. Yeah, I didn't mean to imply anything with my comment. I'm not a fan of Kibler by any means, but I think the statement is about as close to perfect as one could get. By "going hard", I should have said I was rather surprised he'd resign his casting position. But it's a solid move, showing a modicum of sacrifice on his part in disagreement with the heavy-handedness that Blizz displayed. Also, I think his closing to the statement is perhaps the most important part; other people (casters, streamers, GMs, Blizzard regular-Joe employees, etc) aren't in the position he is to step away, and they shouldn't become the target of anger and frustration. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

| SaintAkira7 05/22/19 11:08:11 AM #498 | metroid composite posted... Pogo Hopper is in 1.3% of Rogue decks. I mean, Pogo Hopper is still Pogo Hopper, and I don't think it costing 1 changes the deck much. Does mean it's easier to tutor, and potentially relevant is that it works with Magic Carpet now, so that's neat. I don't think you're running Magic Carpet with your pogo, but it's going to be experimented with. I do think the deck will run Spirit of the Shark. The main upside to this is now at 1 mana, there won't be interference from say, Novice Engineer, Thalnos (some Pogo decks run it), or Lab Recruiter when tutoring for Pogo with Witchwood Piper. So now you'll have a guaranteed tutor for the Pogo (as you alluded to) :) I don't anticipate it suddenly becoming a tier 1 deck or anything of the sort. But I do think it'll be somewhat better and I'll play it regardless of it's tier ranking anyway. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

I mean, Idk what else the thought process could be. Nerf bat rogue, then maybe everyone won't play the class that can beat up on it. Kind of a bad way to go about it, imo at least. Warrior still has access to arguably the strongest card in the game, and that's not changing. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

This was my fear when they announced the format. Idk if it's actually possible to balance Hearthstone in such a way that every class has a viable tournament (specialist) deck, but I'm fairly certain Team 5 isn't capable of pulling it off. No-one is going to watch a 3 class tournament that's majority mirror matches. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

I mean, Druid was balanced around Innervate and Wild Growth and both have been nerfed so the balanced around the card argument fails pretty spectacularly Yes, and Druid has bounced back from that Wild Growth nerfing spectacularly with exactly one deck in the meta.

They'll hit raiding party. Everything they've ever printed for Rogue has been balanced around the existence of Prep in its current form (whether they've been balanced incorrectly or not is an entire other topic). I just think nerfing an expansion rare instead of a Classic epic that the class is "balanced" around is the better course to take. --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |

If you have a 16 player tournament and 11 of them bring Rogue... This is almost a guarantee to happen.

I think there's a shell there for a semi-viable Burgle Rogue, but I've thought that before. I think either a Tempo Hooktusk or Myracle variant will be stronger options for the class compared to Burgle (and I say that as a fan of thief rogue archetypes). --- PSN: SaintAkira42 https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/18491169/ |
