Knowing nothing is sure in this world, I would bet that they are 100% going to "errata" Herobeam.
I can't really see how someone could assume they left the symbol out deliberatly. All heroes are unique (makes sense as they all are unique beings in Tolkien's world) and we even have an ally of the same name, who is unique, too.

And you really don't need 3 packs or to care about errata to have fun with this game. Use proxies or whatever. If you have fun playing 3 copies of a hero just do it, FFG can't and wouldn't stop you. This is a game for personal enjoyment, not professional high stakes poker.

If I've learned anything in 24 years of playing card games, it's that no card game rule is set in stone. FFG could easily make a non-unique hero. It'd be kind of fun even. I personally think this Quickbeam thing was just a mistake, but then again maybe it's not. If it was deliberate you'd also think they'd give us the full 3x copies. That's why I was asking.

But if it was deliberate, and for some reason there was only 1x Quickbeam included, I would totally buy 2x more of the pack. I like having the official cards, for my personal enjoyment.

There's just 1 copy of the Quickbeam hero in the pack, same as always. So like everyone else, I'm sure it's an oversight. And the worst one to date come to think of it.

I could certainly see FFG releasing a non-unique hero some day, but Quickbeam is definitely not the one to do it with. He's an actual named character from the books. I'm sure the lack of a unique symbol was an oversight.

Someone seriously considering Quickbeam to be a non-unique and not a mistake?

I think they're just having fun with it.

Mostly this, but FFG also gave us "BORN Aloft" and messed up the 'A Elbereth Gilthoniel' hymn on a card title (and I think there was another one I'm forgetting?), so I wasn't *completely* ready to rule out them making a non-unique hero and just sticking with the name Quickbeam for some reason.

Well, if it is about just having fun - you don't need their permission, just go hog wild with 3 Splorfindels like there is no tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with a possibility of a non-unique hero, it is just too obvious that Quickbeams lack of unique symbol is a mistake.

I still want to send all three aragorns against LOTR saga.

I like to stick within the rules.

There's still the possibility that FFG will see this mistake, conclude that it doesn't break anything in the game too badly, and just leave it be as opposed to issuing another errata.

In which case I'd grab up 2x more of the pack.

I would wager all the money I currently possess that there is none.

"None" errata? or "none" possibility? Cause even I wouldn't put any money behind much possibility.

I just know that FFG never fails to surprise me when it comes to any type of rulings anymore lol.

I see no possibility of them coming out and stating that non-unique hero Quickbeam is fine and should be left as it is. It overlaps with already existing unique ally, there is no way they gonna leave him non-unique if they publically adress this issue.

Oh they wouldn't publicly address it if that was the case. They'd just leave it as is and pretend like nothing is wrong lol.

Kind of like how "BORN Aloft" just *is*.

Why wouldn't they? There is errata that changes entire card text boxes.

Born Aloft isn't an error with the potential to break fundamental interactions of the game. It's just a bad card. You don't errata bad cards. You errata broken cards, and you errata obvious errors.

Quickbeam will be errata'ed. The simple existence of a Quickbeam ally that is also unique will guarantee that.

Born Aloft may not be a good card, but I think the errata needed is just for the name -- should be borne aloft. Even eagles aren't born aloft, they haven't learned to fly yet.

I'm sure Quickbeam will be errataed, but I doubt a three-Quickbeam grouping would break anything fundamental.

Well, I do not know what you guys are arguing about... :D

So much debate to put an end to it so brutally ... it's rude. Someone could give spoilers of encounters ?? Just curious to know what we have to face again in the last pack ^^

He doesn't have the same copyright: Middle-earth on the previous become Middle-Earth Enterprises. It seems fake.

Clearly fake ?

Did you wanted to say "...put an ENT..."? ;)

Yea, obviously its is a "fake". It was done with StrangeEons. Typing "enterprises" was to long for me. :/

I printed that card because I wanted to test that hero. I used Elrond and Mirlonde (Pippin will work also; same theat, same questing power, a bit more pragile, not so much synergy with SilvanTracker, but better printed abilities and also synergy with the new event from that pack) as other heroes, adding "all the usual ent things" plus some cards to fill up to 50 cards... That deck rocked!

someone could put some encounters spoilers , or by Private Message please ??

Between the images linked on the first post, Beorn's website and the announcement articles you can see everything.

Serious ?! No new enemy apart from the desert warg ?! I was thinking of new haradrims or at least an end-of-cycle boss as is tradition.
