well said, just like how people ##### about powerman and ironfist with haymaker...haymaker is retired let it go, in a restricted tourny your good, in a unrestricted tourney...well let's just get some cheese ready with all the whinning that will begin lol
This isn't exactly what I meant. In the case of Haymaker, I think there is a legitimate question to be asked to the designers. Given that at the time it was created there were no other attack icons, was the intent of the card to cause a -1 to all attack values or was the intent forward thinking and planning to not give the penalty to any new attack icons that were created. If the answer is "the intent was single fist only" then fine, leave it alone and don't gripe that a new mechanic is strong under the existing rules.
But if the intent was for there to be a -1 to the attack value in all cases, and they utilized the fist icon because at the time, that's all there was, then I think the company should be responsible and issue a statement to that effect. They still don't need to support the card in any restricted event, but to allow players to use the card to the best of its intent, they totally should.
No argument. But there are some feats that I don't think there is any plan to re-release. But they should still be supported with current wording (imo).

I hope T-Bolt gets a new feat, maybe not like the old one where you get to choose a TA but an ATA for keyword Thunderbolts. This way no more headache over the old T-bolt card.
But if you really think about it, only Ultron can abuse Nova Blast, and only Super Man Prime, Power Man & Iron Fist, Elektra, and Chase Super Man can abuse haymaker..so that's 5 guys who abuse a feat compare to the 3,000 that were made lol

Any character using the Endurance feat can exploit these loopholes.
Yeah, but with Endurance, your still risking damage, so for people who don't want to gamble it, just stick with figures with indom lol
Not necessarily. Nova Blast for example, is a one shot feat and after you use NB, soak off the damage with Endurance, just have a friendly Thwart character turn Endurance off.
Sure, you won't be able to use it again without potentially taking the damage, but for a feat like Nova Blast? Why not?
For that feat, i was aiming how he still can use it even with thunderbolting to crossgen and making thor/loki harder to hit or becoming a giant and using shakeoff for more damage
This won't work.
Thor and Loki do not meet the prerequisite for Shake-Off.

SHAKE OFF†
Cost: 10
Prerequisite: Transporter or giant character
Choose a character. When the character successfully breaks away, it deals 1 damage to all adjacent opposing characters.
They need to meet that prerequisite at build time. You can't use the Pym Particles feat to meet it.
Not sure what you're looking for from me. I can maybe see an errata that you can't use TBolts for Mystics by saying something like "When a character already can use or possesses a team ability, selecting it with Thunderbolts would overlap the 2, not stack them." But even if that were issued (and I'm not indicating that it is) things like Crossgen and Arachnos would require you to be REALLY technical and change that to "When a character can use or possess the mechanics of a team ability, selecting it with Thunderbolts..."
There are a lot of good reasons to argue against retirement. This is a golden reason why it exists. Love it or hate it, game designers need to be able to move forward and do cool/exciting things like Thor/Loki without having to worry about everything that exists.
From a rules perspective, I totally agree that retired mechanics need to be supported so that they reflect the intent. Wordings on things like feats should evolve as new game effects and technical definitions do and that should apply to retired stuff. I'll speak more on this later.
But to argue that something new/shiny is too overpowering when considering a retired game piece, the counterargument is... retirement.
I'm not complaining about using double mystics damage on Thor/Loki, in fact, I'm in support of it. I used the Jarvis argument with my local judge, and he pretty much told me I was full of it. I wasn't even arguing on behalf of my own team!

This, to me, seems very similar to the issue with Shellhead. I would love this card to be reprinted but able to be used with Indomitable characters.

The only reason I can think of for a judge to rule that way is that he's ruling based on what he thinks ought to be allowed instead of what the rules say.
Well, our venue has unanimously decided that the wording "X pushing damage that ignores Willpower and team abilities" on old feats is read as "X unpreventable damage"
That way all the old feats are balanced again, and I do hope WizNeca make that an official errata on all old feats where that sentence is used.
With the P'n'P ruling, there would be very easy to update all old feats to make them up to date with the modern rules.
