Bordwars.eu Buyers Guide changes

By jacenat, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I recently updated the Boardwars.eu Ally & Villain Pack Buyers Gude ( http://avpacks.boardwars.eu ). Articles for Ahsoka an Palpatine are online now and Han, Chewie and IG-88 got their respective love in a separate paragraph. But the main reason for this post is to explain the other change that happened.

In an effort to remain relevant, I removed all scores. When I started writing these guides, I never even wanted to include a score and only did so after a few people requested it. New players don't really benefit from that as they don't have a solid grasp on power levels or what parts of packs are actually worth picking them up. The scores are now replaced by a Star system that directs the attention of new players towards certain packs that are currently "hot" or provide some unique benefit.

The change was mostly prompted by some negative feedback about the exact scores for certain packs in Wave 8 and Wave 9. The Star system is not an attempt at reducing the surface that can be hit with critique, but rather making critique intrinsically more focused on content, rather an arbitrary number. Also, thinking about the future, keeping up with re-distributing scores after each meta change isn't something I am exceptionally keen about.

I hope some of you understand now how this change came to be and at least respect the decision. See you again next year with more content from us!

Keep up the great work. :)
