:D

I think that might be how it works.

My educated guess is that people are more likely to sign something seeing only a fraction is need to 'achieve' something.

There's much more outrage out there about that than I would have expected (righteously so!).

A petition is already up, with 4.2k signatures at the point of writing, but not about The Banner Saga...

King has the money for lawyers so even if Stoic's stance has more sense and is governed by the rules of logic (in contrary to King's) it still might be to expensive to fight them off in court.

There was a lot of discussion about the turn order during balancing which took part in early days of TBS:Factions (the whole point of that spin-off even existing). Thus, you got stuff like Pillage...

I'm all for some action regarding this, is stoic allows for it.

Was hoping to give it a try after midnight too today :] (GMT 00)

But hey, there's just a few hours left to go :)

Woot!

Just checking how you're doing guys, can't wait for the first instalment of the SP :) I'm sure it will make me come back to Factions too! Keep up the good work!

Just popping in to see how things stand.. and not much has changed I can see. Looking forward to new classes and units to revitalise the gameplay a bit! GG until then!

I like the fire pit idea, but don't like it's shape, I would rather see it dividing the top/bottom halfs (parallel to starting positions).

you can also battling ram someone through a post as well (for +1 bonus armour break)

I know that running through it sounds funny, but imagine he's a freerunner doing a cong over it ;)

I guess the elo is not taken into account so the match maker can be quicker.

Also, if someone plays unranked mostly, his/her skill is getting better but the elo stays the same, so that person will...

I guess we need to make a distinction between elo and stats. Elo has a use to make match-making better and is much more dynamic due to how you are rewarded / stripped off elo as time goes by....

It's a question of incentives. While many people enjoy the 'lolz', others don't and I need to agree that the main incentive given by the game currently are rankings, compared to things like creating...

Very interesting thread - I'm getting more and more concerned that what new people recognise as the main incentive for playing TBS are the rankings or at least their experience is polarised because...

Could you post a link to the statistical data you used to make this claim?

BBs at higher ranks are the most mobile units in the whole game capable of most cost-effective armour break. I'm sorry...

Yea... Stoic has a hard choice to make, given how diverse the playerbase is - you've got people that play rarely and mostly with friends, people like me who can squeeze in a game or two every other...

12/12 + shieldwall + 2 armour break made them much easier to play and boringly overused by types hoping for easy wins, thus some sort of nerf had to be in place but I was also hoping for making their...

Don't remember Stoic saying that BB was mean to be a 'clearly offensive unit', quite the opposite actually.

Write to stoic then, I think their on in to compensate everyone (btw. we're not talking about the permanent boost, are we? I think they're sorting that another way).

These people are compensated as a one-off renown boost which applies automatically after you log in, not per combat bonus (as I understand this at least). Are you sure you were not simply given extra...

And now running through 2 or 3 units will not only be a common situation, but similarly to SRM, your every plan of formation will have to be done with the BBs special in mind - no more hiding with...

Very promising changes, can't wait to give it a go soon.
