Announcing the Heroclix Watch List...

From Heroclix.com...

Quote

Greetings HeroClix fans and supporters,
As part of WizKids’ ongoing efforts to maintain HeroClix as the most exciting game on this or any other planet we are announcing the rollout of a new initiative, the HeroClix Watch List. From time to time we may announce figures and mechanics that have already been released that may require refinement for the overall health and betterment of the HeroClix gaming community.
In order to provide some insights to the process we want to announce the Watch List in advance to any decisions being made. Over a period of weeks or months to come, the R&D team will intensively scrutinize the figures and mechanics on the Watch List, and a determination will be made as to if any change is required. It is important to note that while changes up-to-and-including errata, refinement, and/or banning are all possible, so too is no change at all.
Below you will find the list of the figures and/or mechanics presently on the HeroClix Watch List. We’ve attempted to indicate the specific areas that drove the inclusion of these specific elements on the list. Our investigative scope may be narrowed or widened depending on our findings and determinations.
Additionally other similar figures and/or mechanics may be found to be an issue during the investigation and when an announcement is made it may impact other figures and/or mechanics not originally included on the Watch List due to this research.

HeroClix Team Bases; Working Together ability
Marvel HeroClix: Spiral; Dimensional Portal trait
Marvel HeroClix Heroes for Hire Additional Team Ability (ATA)
DC HeroClix: Utility Belt; Prep Time special power
DC HeroClix: Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) ATA
DC HeroClix: Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) Cruiser; pilot ability
DC HeroClix: Bat-Mite; You’re My Hero ability and Let Me Help special powers
Marvel HeroClix: Brother Voodoo; My Spirit Brother Possesses You trait

If no announcement has been made on a particular figure and/or mechanic on the Watch List, it means it is still being investigated. Until a final determination is made there is no official impact to the listed figures and/or mechanics.
It is our goal to give this information out before a determination to allow for players to not be completely surprised by our findings.
As always, we thank you all for your continued understanding and support,
The WK Team

Very Interesting Perhaps Meta Changing News Announced Today

http://heroclix.com/announcements/an...#axzz2enM9t2ix

Apparently WK is looking into changing (I guess maybe errata'ing) top meta level powers. If they do end up doing this then I applaud them and hope that many other players who were thinking about quitting the game will change their minds :D Thoughts?

So we're brewing a "ban list" with a fancy name.

I'm sad, because we used to be able to say our game didn't have one.

... but happy, because balance is a thing! They listen to us!

Its definitely a step in the right direction. Maybe switching up the rules guys really was all the game needed to balance it.

Okay, now THIS is a step in the right direction, at least on the surface. I'm glad to hear that WK is taking feedback into account, and realizes that some more scrutiny can be beneficial.

Much appreciated.

Hey Thrumble-what did I say about press release day?

This satisfy you?

Edit-still missing Shatterstar himself.

And final question before I duck out:

Why did it take the community to bring this to R&D's attention instead of internal playtesting?

From the other thread:

It looks like someone is listening after all.

So do you think they'll change Spiral's trait to line of fire or make it a two way street?

Always try to leave an internet argument at lvl 1!

I'd settle for within her movement range.

With the line-up so far in Superman and the Legion of Superheroes set and this news I almost feel like I'm not dissapointed as much.

Very good news and THANK YOU WIZKIDS for showing that you care about the players.
