Seems like during the transition from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th, my friends and I all swore we weren't going to change... we'd just keep playing the way we liked. And we were playing all the time. This go round, I think it will be refreshing to have the game be a little different. And lately, I don't even play that often.Iaipunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466897197315737079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196653280947071510.post-51883479726351311402012-02-09T14:36:17.111-08:002012-02-09T14:36:17.111-08:00I agree styx, the cycle does wash in and out.

It did bring back old players to playing the game. There was some good buzz around here in Tampa when the 5th rollover came. I call it the honeymoon period where people are learning the rules and playing their books to see what works and such....then about 2 years in you start to see the crazy horse lists and the cycle starts again. <br /><br />Sometimes Codex creep is a factor, sometimes GW makes a good book then they just drop the ball and their focus goes away from balance to making the latest and greatest that everyone will want to play to sell models. Personally, I think it is when the game is no longer fresh and interesting is when players will wane and the abuse puppies start legally abusing their codex lists for power builds to win their games. It's a cycle.....sorta like the tide...tide washes in, then out...styxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149216774007558819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196653280947071510.post-5052642238061023852012-02-09T10:54:44.583-08:002012-02-09T10:54:44.583-08:00Styx hits the nail on the head
Quote "codex ...Styx hits the nail on the head<br /><br />Quote "codex power hierarchy"<br />This is the main problem. I for one and not bored with 5th Edition. Still finding it fun and enjoying the game. ALl the armies are meant to play different. Abit shocking I know. <br /><br />To include all the whims of the palyers base will create a very clunky game "ie that leaked BRB"<br /><br />The samethings people are crying over, they complained about in the old edition, but now want the back?BdaGamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661069064097031648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196653280947071510.post-65883915399235417112012-02-09T10:43:00.780-08:002012-02-09T10:43:00.780-08:00Sixth will probably not fix the game at all.

Theyve gone through 5 editions and its still clunky and just bad.<br /><br />Prices arent going to get lower which means creep wont go away either.

But 40k as a hobby is in a decent place right now (GW's business strategy is insulting, but if you've already got the models, you're largely good to go). Fantasy is another matter entirely, and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on what's happening there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196653280947071510.post-28159197518113248272012-02-09T09:53:03.754-08:002012-02-09T09:53:03.754-08:00I agree with your thoughts.
#1 people are those ...I agree with your thoughts. <br /><br />#1 people are those that like to bitch and there is no pleasing those people. <br /><br />#2 well, that can be legit when it comes to dealing with powergamers driving away the gaming population. If they level the field and fix some of the abuses in these powergamer lists then yea, you will see people return.<br /><br />#3 Again, when you have a fresh injection to the rules people will return also. It gets boring when you show up for gaming and everyone is playing BloodAngelGreyKnightSpaceWolfetc...on the same tables over and over. Kinda sucks to go to a tournament and 50% of the armies are of one or two types. I miss the old days of variety in army typs at events. If you eat the same thing every day for every meal, well it gets pretty damm old real fast without variety.<br /><br />Then again you will have some bitchers that will quit the game because they won't like the changes to the rules and how it affects their armies. They will cry and bitch, throw their army on Ebay and then either play something else or rebuild a new list that they can tool out to abuse legally with the new rules.<br /><br />My only comment is "shut up, play the game and have fun...or go play Magic..."styxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149216774007558819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196653280947071510.post-52150754921457326272012-02-09T08:48:51.828-08:002012-02-09T08:48:51.828-08:00P.S.
