I want things that a company may not be able to provide or NO DEAL!

....

Welcome to the consumer world, Vermillian.

Guess I'm less of a consumer wh0re than some.

But you're right. The customer is ALWAYS right.

Me, maybe we played a different game, but I seem to remember SC4 sucking more than the previous games. 3 was sub-par and 2 was outright unplayable garbage.

The customer is almost never right. I have worked retail long enough to know that you have to make them THINK they are right, but 90% of the time, they are wrong. Too many times have mothers argued with me about thier kid needing Fable 2 on the PS2 or the Wii, and telling me "Well, i had to come out for that system because my kid asked me for it and that is the system he has" I'm sorry ma'am, but your child is an idiot... use the internet once in a while and look stuff up you kid asks you for...

For various things. First, the customer isn't always right; it's something told to you by management because if the customer feels cheated then they lose business, but sometimes people are stupid. We're talking about people complaining that they ordered a cheeseburger without cheese, not a hamburger.

Secondly, for pointing out that parents today are stupid. If a game is rated MATURE, and your kid wants it, and you buy it, don't ruin it for the rest of us when you see the (OMG who knew) sex, drugs and violence in the game and claim it correlates to the bad attitude that their bad parenting caused. Get him a Mario game or something instead and save yourself the embarrassment.

What's this about not being able to provide when they pretty much said they'd rebalance some cards.

Rebalancing does not equal nerf across the board.

I believe my post was a 'sarcastic' retort to someone else's post about how they wanted something done with the PA future set that might not have been possible for FFG to do... It had nothing to do with balancing of any current sets... What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you need to l2sarcasm ;p

Was what someone said, I commented, sarcasticlly, that maybe the company might not be able to provide this due to negotiations and crap and timing and all that. I said that prior to FFG or whoever mentioning, almost verifying, that it was to be a complete overhaul rebalancing of the PA cards, which is what the above quoted person was interested in, rendering my sarcastic retort moot, but at the time, it was a possibility that some of the cards would have had to have stayed the same, or some crap, due to corporate agreements contracts yadayada with PA etc...

So yes. Rebalancing is happening. Woo. We CAN have our cake and eat it too, and the above quoted person WILL have a deal. Huzza! /story

GIVE ME WHIMSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WHIMSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!1111!!SHIFT+11111

Whew..ok..out of my system.

Dirty Pool Jivatma, anyone, btw?

HolyDragonCloud said:

No.

Just... no.

HOWEVER.

Dirty Pool Balrog? HEY LOOK IT'S A SHOOTING CAPOERA! (In a Air/Evil spread, natch) HEY LOOK IT'S A NEFARIOUS DEEDS AFTERWARDS!

Homme Chapeau said:

Well, actually, i think its "Dirty pool *any character that shar symbols* anyone?"

Like finding random Es where hard to find theses days

vermillian said:

Steve wanted to save this for the release of his first interview oh well .

With the folks saying "Dirty Pool = Sky will fall!"

Anyone look at DS01 & DS02, as well as some other cards that punish unblockable attacks?

I figure that maybe you just pack some of those cards in your deck to deal with it.

Or build promo fishman or something.

Antigoth said:

Not saying sky will fall, just saying easy combo ding.

Besides, who blocks these days? Honestly...

Archimedes said:

With Broken Leg/Bleeding Internally banned? More people are returning to blocking I've found. It's like they were looking for a way to not take damage, and have suddenly found it.

It was grandiose.

Scubadude said:

Well given that that letter didn't have any super secret sub text on it, and wasn't really addressed to anyone in particular, and the store owner always just hands me those packs straight away, and the mods need to do a better job um... sorry Steve! I'm sure there are a ton of people that still don't know that you'll be able to surprise!

vermillian said:

Its alright i never read the prerelease flyer since i was out of town for it so I didnt know till he told us hopefully there is some stuff about it in more detail that people will want to listen too it .

Antigoth said:

Wait, this might make Promo Rikuo semi-relevant!!!! The sky must be falling!!!!!! : )

Ender Dragon said:

this is assuming that dirty pool will keep the same text. but i think this will need to play over 9000 Es to get it.

Archimedes said:

I think it's a valid concern because every idea or license that IS included further defines the face of the game. It may be the Universal Fighting System, but its image, flavor, and fanbase were clearly determined by the choice of PA/SF/SC as the initial releases. If they put out a My Little Pony set, it wouldn't take away any other licenses' cards from the game, but the addition of that card set would subtract irreversibly from the rest of the game.

That said, anyone who thinks that Penny Arcade back in UFS will be bad for business, the game/company image, or anything of the sort, is being an idiot.
