Prodos Games

Hi,

I've just sent an email to Prodos with these notes:

Acid Spit
The stats of Acid Spit are not displayed on the Alien Warriors' stat card. That could mean (I think), that it is not a range weapon. But the rule of Acid Spit (A) special skill neither mention the strength, the RoA and the AVV value.
So, please add these values to the skill description.

Tile Occupation
Dead Ends and Predator Pod tiles should have only 4 occupation points because no more models have enough space on them. Also, Rooms are bigger than normal tiles, so they should have around 12 occupation points.

Weld It Shut!
You should clarify if both ends of an Air Vent tile should be welded in order to remove it from the game.

Carrying a Token
The allowed value of movement while carrying a token should be only 1 instead of 2. Because in normal cases you can move 2 tiles, no more.

Predator Ping token correction
Predator Ping tokens (and Vocal Mimicry tokens also) in the base game are thicker than the other factions. The add-on Predators' tokens are thin as the others. This thickness difference makes the Ping concept totally worthless becasue you can easily find out which Predators hide under them.

Other notes:

Alien and Marine Wound tokens
There are already add-on models from both factions which have more than 1 wound values. So please release these tokens as add-ons.

Activation, Sentry and Hide tokens
These tokens are enough for the base game only but not for the add-ons.
Please release a pack of these tokens as add-ons.

Again we get promisses.

oooooo awesome

Oouh, she is a REAL badass! Uhm, I mean nice lady. :D

Still waiting.

My pledge status has changed to "awaiting" nearly four months ago, IIRC. I swear, if there's no big (that means we get an announcement, not a 'newsletter' passed along via KS or a blurb on Facebook) update in the next month, I'm never buying a single Prodos product in retail once my order arrives.

IF my order ever arrives.

I'm finding it really hard to continue to preach patience when they've got the time to work a whole other product line and all these conventions (not to mention tearing down the old forum to re-build the site) without being able to reliably present updates to customers who have already paid for products. I'm not a Kickstarter backer, who funded on a gamble. I'm a PRE-ORDER customer, who paid for a product that WOULD hit shelves and was already slated to release. It's on shelves and released, but I haven't even SEEN the things in-person.

There's a group on Facebook dedicated to legal action against Prodos and I would be lying to say that I'm not tempted to join that bandwagon.

If I paid for the pre-order of Mass Effect 3, Halo 5, or DOOM and GameStop told me they'd get it to me 'eventually' while selling to everyone else and maintaining a stock in-house, you bet your bug-stompers I'd do something about it. This isn't a $60 game, though. This is $630 worth of "my wife is still yelling at me over this two years later."

I'd like my purchase, now..

NOW.

My thoughts are summed up with Ergotoxin for the Visionaries and Vince Diamond. However the aesthetic of the Fenris bikers is lost on me. But it is nice to see some models being released, good job Prodos.

Streamlining and easing entrance to the system sounds great, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

@dunnagh

I appreciate you chiming in. While I agree new units have have been coming in it's tough to want to get any when you're not sure where the game is going. As of I right now I have told people in my area perhaps hold off any purchases until WZR 2.0 comes out to make sure their units work like the want them to. It sort of sounds like what you're saying though is that it's more of a rules clean up than a re-write, if so that's great. I also I agree I'd rather see the job done right, but with the new website and blog section would be hard for some one from Prodos to toss up a quick blog say "this week we've been testing Rapid Deployment, and here's some of tweaks we've been looking at. Stay tuned next week for more..."

Once again thanks for shedding a little light on what's going on, because at least now we know something is going on.

@ FCWookie
What I've been saying to the guys around here is wait until 2.0 drops. Sounds sort of like there's not going to be anything drastic, but in the end you never know.

And the old forums are back.
