Hey.
Just wanted to make sure that it doesn't come as surprise later on. In caster draft will the draft decks be provided by the TO or must every player contribute their own deck?

Thank you for advance Joonas Sundqvist

I have made some Major changes to the event structure please review said changes.

I have made some Major changes to the event structure please review said changes.

Major changes to tournament rules two days before the event starts? Cool. Especially since we may not know for sure what those changes will contain when leaving home on Friday, so it'll be basically impossible to prepare for e.g. point cost increases on the fly. I don't have the time to keep an eye on all possible social media for random tidbits of spoilers that may or may not be final.

Will an army list that's legal on Friday at 12.00 when I leave home be legal to play in the Saturday event? That's what I need to know.

Nothing is changing for Fridays Event, because of that reason. It will Saturday events will have the information live in Warroom this Friday. I will make sure you are well taken care of. It is my intent to run a tight ship, and make sure people have everything they need. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you, hope you have a great time at the event.

I actually think it's totally absurd to make major changes to the rules just two days before the tournament. Especially as we still can't make lists in any site/software which would allow to make Oblivion lists. This would've been good to know quite a while before the tournament, that we COULD be playing with the Oblivion rules. I haven't even taken a good look about the things that change, because it hasn't been topical yet. And lists that people have been training with can just be thrown out of the window now. As far as I know, some players are gonna drop out just because of this change.

I definitely would vote to play with the current rules and not with the Oblivion rules, even though they have been released by the tournament. The time window between this announcement and the tournament is just too small.

@Captain.

I guess because of the major update coming at the same time with the event some damage cannot be avoided. What I have gathered the "magical switch" coming to warroom only applies to theme forces and not to rules update. This means that few point costs will be changing regardles of TO´s actions so everething will be on somekind of chaos/flux so we have to endure it. (I for example have to come to event without my updated cards [as I like to play with them] but I will be happy to play regardless.)

I think that in these circumstances TO will take some flak no matter what decision he will make regarding this MK3.5 update...
--> I choose to value the fact that we have people willing to organize these events so we have a chance to play and compete in this game. I guess that cannot be taken as a "basic right" (for lack of more suitable word) these days.

Hopefully I see as much players as possible at Ropecon´s battlefields!

With love and respect

Just so you all know if this becomes an issue there is a nifty switch, and all I need to do is flip it and we just use current set of rules. So please relax and know you and your enjoyment will not be invalidated. I had prepped many options to cover any issues that could occur in this event. Just come out and play some bad ass games.

As far as we know (based on today's Dev Talk) there's no guarantee that the update will go live on Friday, so it's a logistical nightmare to have to prepare for either possibility, especially for people who don't live in or near the capital who can't very well go home to pick up some extra models on Friday night.

This means I can't pick any non-spoiled Theme force because I cannot know what it's going to include on Saturday. Yes, in all likelihood I can include every model that I could pre-update, but some requisition options are changing so radically that I'd be handicapping myself by not taking advantage of the new ones.

Not blaming you, personally, for anything. It's always someone's event that's going to land on top of a major update. But since PP is specifically giving TO's a choice in this matter, I feel that it is my right to voice my opinion in the matter regarding that decision.

I'm as excited about the Oblivion stuff as anyone, but I'm afraid rushing to adopt these major changes on the fly, mid-event, may sour the experience.

This change of rules should have been stated earlier here. Even tho myself I have seen most of spoils on the way, I don't really think this Major change of rules is okay even for me. I've been prepping and trying to practice lists for a long time. Even now I don't know full rules before Friday and starting traveling tomorrow Thursday I may not have legal lists for Oblivion since some changes haven't been even spoiled for my army. I would have illegal lists and that is my major concern.

Even tho I like changes on rules etc this just few night before event done change is making my drip a living nightmare since taking all my stuff with me ain't small thing. Neither it will be anyone from afar.

I rather drop and do other stuff there than try to figure out can I play with my models or not before Saturday morning.

[Rexxigar]

Just bring the lists you want to play I can absolutely guarantee everything will work out fine and be right as rain :)
