THis might have been true for your group, but I know playtesters that abused the **** out of deadeye torps jumps as soon as they hit the shelves and they claimed to have warned ffg about it

It was easy to abuse Deadeye torps right after product hit, because thousands of people were exposed to the product during previews, well before it hit shelves. Similarly, I don't doubt they warned FFG, but a warning doesn't do any good once the product is at the printers.

I was an extremely active playtester, heading an extremely active group, and I didn't see any posts or playtester reports about abusive JM5K builds until after the product was being previewed.

There have always been rumors about upper echelon competitive players deliberately sandbagging abusive builds during playtesting, in order to gain a competitive advantage. I have no way to prove something like that didn't happen, but I can say that I don't believe it happened during the period when I playtested. Nor did I ever get the impression FFG was throwing balance under the bus deliberately for any reason.

As far as I could ever tell, all of the playtesters (and all of the developers) wanted to put out fun, fair, balanced product. Again, I have literally no way to prove any other playtester's or developer's mindset ... all I can offer is my opinion, formed first-hand.

I know things got a little patchy around here towards the end, but just wanted to give a personal thanks to everyone for contributing to real discussion and such. It's hard to achieve, especially mostly anonymously over the internet on something like an official forum. I assume this forum/board will be shut down... soonish, the end is nigh, etc.

Anyways, thanks for being great!

I know I've been MIA a lot since COVID, but thanks to everyone.

I wish there was another tournament to see everyone before it ended, and maybe there will be (there won't be), so thanks again for the discussions here!

As @Brunas said, it's really hard to achieve real discussion on anonymous boards, so this was really cool, and I really appreciated it!

If Hondo's such a pirate, why doesn't he synergize well with Torrents, hm?

You must have caught him on one of his "respectable businessman" days.

Peace all. I'll be keeping an eye out for if AMG starts one up, but looks like it's time to log off. Been fun.

Good

I doubt amg does, i think i said it above, but the forums cost money to run, they can just have an intern monitor discord, facebook, and reddit.

Somewhere some poor bugger is printing out every page of the Krayt thread to archive this um... wisdom.

Or maybe just to prop up the couch.

Thanks for the most eclectic forum thread ever.

Does anyone know where I cash in my likes and other reacts? I'm hoping I have enough to get a fidget spinner.

My only wish is that the last post here is about RZ2. Go out on the hill that was visited the most

More like F FG, amiright?

Logging out now? I have 2 months to really let loose. Open season. No regrets.

That is a good point....

F for the greatest thread of flaming trash to ever grace my eyes. I will genuinely miss all of this.
