Coolness. Hope I'm able to win a few. Being a Mystique fan, I really want to win a Raven Darkholme!

very cool!

Werent these already realeased?

azbats

07/04/2003, 01:58

I believe so.

Trihorn

07/04/2003, 01:59

Oh nevermind! Yeah I can win a Emil Blonski or Sarah St. John!!

StormWind

07/04/2003, 02:02

Yes. This is appearently the new format that the tournaments will be taking in the future which means that Sarah St. John is going to be even harder to come by now. Glad I already got mine.

Hmm.. I could always win another Raven Darkholme or Kirigi and trade it, and I wonder if there's any market for the other 2, since I doubt seriously I'll be seeing an Emil Bronsky anytime next month.

07/04/2003, 02:14

Must be nice. I haven't had to much time to play in tournys lately, but I'll soon have more time to try to score one!! I think that Raven and Hank McCoy are really thr only two that I'm interested in winning. Not necessarily for playing, but becasue I like those two characters (Beast is my fav Marvel character).

Sartek1985

07/04/2003, 03:33

They're dividing the tournaments into age categories? How is that going to work, I know around here, the youngest person to play HC is 16. I mean, I really hope they change the LE's every so often or the market will be flooded. And is the new format 200? That will really alter play status as well.

07/04/2003, 03:38

there is also the fact that now the smaller venues aren't getting prize support at this time.

Bluebeard

07/04/2003, 04:06

So basically when I play in a constructed tourney there's only gonna be two possible prizes I can win? This is friggin weak. Where's the randomness? Where's the chance to win the better prizes? I'd love to win an Emil or Sarah, but whoops! I'm 23. Sorry! Hmm... I really don't like this. They took all the suspense out of the prizes.

07/04/2003, 04:31

Wouldn't Sarah St. John be more appropriate in the "Head-to-Head" tournament (as opposed to being given to the juniors :knockedou )

Bluebeard

07/04/2003, 04:38

Haha, gotta get em while they're young ;)

So do this mean that the other LE's like jane foster, whitney frost, an kirigi aren't bein handed out?

Draggor

07/04/2003, 11:11

Maybe next month. The format is each month different figures will be available. I like this idea actually. Now you know what you're playing for. It's particularly useful for sealed booster tournaments because now you'll know whether it's worth entering before spending your money. For instance looking at these ones I want a Tabitha Smith and a Raven Darkholme so I need to play in both types of events. But tabitha mostly so if it comes to the choice I'll go for constructed tournaments. Next month I may not like the constructed prize available and so just enter sealed.

Does anyone know about the Elektra LE? Does that come from one of the comic story lines, that she's as a hand ninja? I know she fought with them or something but just curious why a hand ninja mold is called Elektra.

07/04/2003, 14:13

I love 200 point games. Wooha!

Time to teach my 6-year-old how to play.

/rude 12 and under div.

No one at my venue is under 13.

-shift

remywokeup

07/04/2003, 14:22

I'm kinda disappointed. I am NOT under 12. WizKids has decided to punish me for not being a kid? I'm cool with a 12 and under division (kind of) but the fact that I can't win certain prizes because of my age is a bit frustrating.

Not to mention the fact that I've already won doubles of the constructed prizes; this makes constructed tournaments (which I like best) totally worthless.

And when were they gonna start giving out those punch cards for rewarding tournament participation? I go to like 3 per week. If WizKids is goling to start rewarding me for playing every other day, they should start soon.

PsychoDBoy

07/04/2003, 15:36

Y'know what would be nice on wizkids part?To start givin out the other Xplosion LE's that they've only been givin out at cons. I've no problem with con exclusive le's like Banner an Creed, an the like, but there are like 5 Xplosion ones only givin out at cons, iceman, beast, scorpion, psylocke, an doc sampson. And if each month they're only givin certain ones out at constructed, sealed, an kiddie tournies, its gonna flood the tradin/sellin market of those specific ones, makin their value drop or so. I liked the randomness of prize support better, that way I'd go play thinkin I have a chance at winnin something I want. Now I'm not gonna go to half these tournies once I've got these LE's....already wont' hafta go to the sealed an kiddie ones, which means less tourny action for me, which is no fun. Poo I says, poo!

kdem2357

07/04/2003, 15:50

I have a question, how many venues have 3 12 and under people? All 3 of the places I go I am the youngest one, and I am 15. According to wizkids new rule saying that you have to have 3 participents in order to have a tournament, there will be almost no junior events. Even if there are 3 12&U people, what venue will want to host an event that most of its participents can't play?
I also like the idea of random LE's. It is much more fun to go to a tournament and not know what the prizes are.

Kingofkod

07/04/2003, 16:13

I'm another person who likes the random prizes way more then knowing what i'm going to possibly get if i win. Also what's up with this 200 point teams? You can't play hardly anyone in 200 points and that's lame. Looks like it's all about 2 Destinys and cheap BCF characters for me now.

OMG ebay prices will go down?!?!?!?

maybe just maybe i can get the whole set of LEs now lol.

I hate the idea of Junior Divisions.

Braden

07/04/2003, 18:01

Braden is very angry. Unfortunetely, Braden is not the hulk so his anger is worthless.
Darn little kids.

Braden

07/04/2003, 18:04

Seriously, Braden does not normally complain about free support. But the idea of junior divisions is upsetting, I have seen 2 kids under the age of tweleve at any of the numerous venues I have been to. Maybe my 4 year old nephew will have to start showing up.

Spock

07/04/2003, 18:20

Am I the only reason who plays in tournaments whether he needs the LE or not?

I have all of the DC LEs (prior to CJ); doesn't mean I stop playing in DC tournaments. I like playing!

But yeah I would assume they're going to rotate them so everyone can get everything.

I like playing too. But I have numerous friends I can play for free to get my fix of fun playing, as opposed to paying money to play an not possibly getting anything out of it aside from a few games which I dont need to leave the house for.

Braden

07/04/2003, 23:05

Braden always plays. He doesn't care that the little kids get an LE he needs, Braden cares that WizKids takes away a tournament for Braden and gives it to little kids, a very small minority of the heroclix universe. Braden plays heroclix with friends at school, but at home tournaments are his fix. And this makes Braden upset that his fix has been cut back for a few 12 year olds.

NickCarraway

07/05/2003, 02:32

the kids idea sounds great to me. Nearest shop to me has a lot of kids with a few clix. This can get them more into the game.

Plus, been to too many tournaments with a median age of 30. Failure to develop a younger clientele will kill the game. Then all the precious LEs out there will be near worthless.

Mad props to WizKids for trying to get kids involved and for making the 200 point format thus forcing people to learn how to play rather than hang onto bizarre team constructs.

algrim

07/05/2003, 02:56

A few things to think about...

For the month of August WizKids will provide a single venue prize support for the following;

1 DC Sealed Booster
1 DC Head-to-Head
1 Marvel Sealed Booster
1 Marvel Head-to-Head
1 Marvel Junior Event

This means that at any 1 single venue, you will only have 1 chance to win each of these LE's (for the month of August). I can only assume that the format will remain similar (maybe having a DC Junior Event instead of a Marvel) for the month of Seprember, with all new LE's being available for prizes.

Just some food for thought...

This new format doesn't bother me really. What bothers me is that after the last tournoment that I played, and won first place, the judge told me that it's wizkids new policy that the fellowship winner gets first pick of the 2 prizes. It's bad enough now that fellowship gets a prize and 2nd place doesn't but this is an outrage.

Fellowship *should* get a prize. There are exactly two goals to playing in a HeroClix game. Winning, and having fun. Both goals should have some sort of official recognition.

That said... it's not an official policy. WizKids has a suggestion on who should get first pick (First Place), but it's not a hard-and-fast rule.

Myself... I recently instituted the house rule that the First Place and Fellowship winners would roll to see who gets first pick. It's my best way of making sure both are valued equally. Part of me wants to value Fellowship higher than First, but I'm satisfied with the balance.

Braden, how many events does your Venue run in a month?

Reason I ask is because it's still possible to run four non-Junior events in August.

Unless your Venue runs every single week, the number of tourneys you're able to attend won't be changed at all.

Worst case scenario, your Venue runs on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and you'll need to take a single "skip week."

The change that will affect you more is that of those four events, two must be Sealed tourneys. If your Venue was only running Constructed events, that will affect your regular play. However, I can't fault WizKids at all for insisting that players in supported events play a format which generates more income for themselves and the Venue.

Mad props to WizKids for trying to get kids involved and for making the 200 point format thus forcing people to learn how to play rather than hang onto bizarre team constructs.

Got me on one, but not on the other.

I'm enthusiastic about the upcoming CreepyFreaks game, and genuinely hoping we can get events going with a younger audience. I can see things getting very, very ugly too, don't get me wrong, but in general I'm optimistic.

Once you get them hooked on CreepyFreaks, I figure the Junior HeroClix events should become an easier draw. You'll have kids who are now familiar with the basic methods of Clix play, and then you can show them a game where they play the cartoon superheroes.

I'm optimistic, what can I say...

Where I can't support you, though, is the idea that restricting people to 200 points will somehow improve play. I'll agree that a 200-point game requires *different* strategy than 1000, 500 or even 300 point games. However, players who enjoy those brackets have certainly "learned to play" the game, and do so in a manner they enjoy.

It's interesting to see the difference in preferenecs from one Venue to another. I run one Venue which prefers finesse games. When I asked what point value they wanted to an upcoming DC event, they flatly refused 500 in favor of 300. At another Venue, they love the big guys. Give them a 500-point tourney with no characters under 75 points and they're delighted. Both Venues are home to a number of very smart, savvy players, and it's actually been tricky altering my style to match the taste of the second one.

That's one of the real joys of having several Venues in my area. It's easy for players to find one that suits their personal gaming style better. I'd like to keep things so that we can maintain that diversity in events.

If not for the Junior, there probably would not have been a fifth event in August at all. One Constructed and one Sealed each for Marvel and DC, that's all. You're not missing out on anything you should have had; they're just offering an additional option.

You're not being punished or deprived, really.

Not to mention the fact that I've already won doubles of the constructed prizes; this makes constructed tournaments (which I like best) totally worthless.

Yes, two Tabitha Smith figures are kinda pointless. But if the Tabitha Smith duplicate you win this time is the one you trade for another guy's duplicate Raven Darkholme, don't you come out ahead in the end?

Overall, while it's still a little awkward to me, I like the way they divide the prize support - especially since they have so many sealed boosters in August. Now I know I'll have people showing up for those sealed boosters because it's their only chance (again, per venue) to get those prizes. It definately puts more at stake at each tournament...

:angry: :angry: #### wizkids and their stupid ### rules every 2 #### months. I love this game, and i really love the free prize support. i am also sort of cool with knowing when certain prizes will be available. what cheeses me off is that theyre doing this period - messing with a good thing, and the 200 frigging stupid ### point thing again!!!!! it sucked with mage knight, it sucked with heroclix, it just plain sucked, but now they're gonna bring it back to suck 33% of the fun out of my heroclix tourneys? Screw them.

Before you get too worked up, give us a chance to get the full details from WizKids and let you know.

Up to now, Judges have been given a good amount of leeway in their Constructed events. This is the first mention we've seen of the 200-point format, so I've brought it to the Powers that Be for more explanation. This being a holiday weekend, it may take a little bit.

It's hot enough outside. Try to hold back the flames just a little longer. ;)

I must say...I like having different formats and not having Wizkids "dictate" what the tournaments should be. My venue has genious tournaments (Survivor themes, Reserves, Theme Teams, ultimate match ups, team tournies) and wizkids dictating what is going on is just silly.

I do like the idea of a junior tournament though! Let the under 16 crowd get a chance at winning something. We have a lot of kids at our venues and its always the adults winning the LEs...I saw a 10 year old go 0-3 without KOing a single piece...felt really bad.

RanmaSolo

07/05/2003, 19:44

This really, really sucks. I don't mind Junior Tournies. I don't mind knowing what the LE's are, as long as they keep rotating them anyway. What I DO mind is dictating what type and how many tournaments I get to go too. Often I have to skip sealed tournaments cause I just don't have the cash. So constructed is my bread and butter. Now, not ONLY will I only get 2 a month, but Wizkids is telling me I'm not gonna get to play in anything but the SAME ####ING KIND EVERY MONTH!? #### THAT! Excuse me, I'm sorry, just that I hate this idea. 200 points is fine. I like that. I like 300 points. I like 300 points with thematic rules as to who you can pick. I like 1000 points with no one under a 100 points. I like all these and more which I play regularly at the two venues I frequent. Oh, what? Wait, no, actually I don't anymore. Now I don't really get to frequent them AND I'll only be playing one #### type of game. I'll still be there every #### week I can, I don't go for the LE's quite frankly, even though I like them... But even as hopelessly addicted as I am to the fun of playing with all the great people at these events... It's really gonna suck having to play the same #### thing over and over and over again. And I wonder how long it'll be before I go... And I'm the only one there. :(

kdem2357

07/06/2003, 00:34

Wizkids needs to stop messing with something that is fine to begin with. When they got rid of the 2nd place prize it was bad, but I can understand how much it was costing wizkids to give out 3 LE's every tournament, but this makes no sense. They take away the judges ability to mix up the game play and people that can't afford to play in sealed events get screwed. Where I go, most of the people can only buy a couple of packs of each expansion and then they have to trade for the guys they want. We only have 1 sealed event for each set (the marquee). Now they are taking away half of our tournaments (3/5 of them on some months).

This is just another gimmick by wizkids to sell their product. I think that the format will be changed back in 1 month when they realize they are driving tons of people out of their game. Does anyone remember what pokemon did with their 15 and over crowd. They stopped letting them compete in the main tournaments. That caused anyone over 15 to quit and the ultimate demise of the game.

Spock

07/06/2003, 00:48

My guess? They just put up the "200 points" as an example. I doubt they're really restricting you to that.

Todosi

07/06/2003, 01:48

And hyperactive gamers need to stop jumping off the deep end about something that doesn't exist. No changes have been made in the way judges schedule tournaments. No changes have been made that affect our use of house rules. The 200 pt. team is only a suggestion as to their recommended team size.

I'm sure your judge will continue to provide you with the same quality events as always.

So everyone, chill the heck out a little huh?

07/06/2003, 11:31

Enough people have weighed in saying that the junior tourneys are a good idea (so that we don't have to feel bad about whipping a 10-year-old every week).
Enough people have weighed in saying that knowing which LE your plaing for is a good idea (does anyone REALLY want a collection of four Frank Gunzers?).

But there's one particular rant that's bothering me. On one hand, we have people complaining that it isn't broke, that Wizkids shouldn't force us into certain tournament molds. But on the other hand, we have someone complaining that he's often short on cash and is unable to go to sealed box tournaments. Well, think of this as preventative medicine. In my area, there is a venue that does NOTHING BUT sealed box tournaments. Now at least there's a hope that some constructed events will creep in there.

This is not WizKids policy has far as I know, though the judge is free to decide which order he wants to order the two prizes in.

You're getting worked up over nothing, dude. So far no judges haven't been told they're restricted to two hundred points.

I've put in the events for my venue. Done descriptions for the one's I've running. I've a got a 400 pt. Marvel Head-to-head, a 500 pt. DC head-to-head, a 300 Marvel Sealed Booster Listed, a 200 pt. DC Sealed Booster, and a 200 pt. Junior Tournament.

So far nobody from WizKids has told me I can't run the higher point events. Judges are still allowed to use whatever house rules they want with the exception of Marquee, which are suppossed to be played by the rules.

For anybody interested in the higher points games, I'll be running them at B&R Hobbies, 9014 Crawfordville Rd. Indianapolis, IN. For more information and dates, go to B&R Hobbies page on the WizKids site.

Fixing the prize support for the month (as opposed to keeping it random) is almost the worst idea I've heard yet. I usually go to 3 events a week, but if I'm going to be competing for the same 2 LEs every time, what's the point? I already have Tabitha and Frank so there is no reason for me to go to a constructed tourney at all for the whole month of August! I would've gone to 10-12 probably. This completely undermines the idea of trying to increase the number of tournaments people go to with the whole "passport" stamp thing they're supposedly going to implement soon.

It just gets worse and worse...

I actually like the idea of seeind what I'll be playing for instead of going to a tournament, and then finding out I can only win an LE I've already acquired. (Though I would probably still go just to play.)

I am curious about one comment you've made. You said you that you would have been going to 10-12 tournaments. Does this mean you would travel to 10 different venues to play a constructed tournaments in?

I ask because of WizKids supporting a smaller number of envents, I as a judge could only schedule two head-to-head constructed, one each for each universe, two sealed booster tournaments, again one for each universe, and a Junior tournament for Marvel.

You see my problem is I'm not sure if you really were planning to go to a dozen venues to play in August, which is what your letter implies, or if you were unaware that venues would be limited to one Marvel Head-to-head constructed in the month of August.

Sorry, that just seems like a funny prize to give away to the young players in my opinion.

harles2000

did anyone notice that they're cutting back prize support even further? think about it, instead of 4 marvel tourneys a month, there's 3 including the junior, and only 2 DC. Something is fishy in Denmark. From 3 prizes to 2, From 8 events to 5???? I'm not impressed with Wizkids at the moment. Oh, and the superhard to get unless you live near a major convention LE's? Those piss me off too.:angry: :angry:

I may have exaggerated just a bit. Some of those 10-12 would be DC tourneys (half, I guess;)). But, yeah, I play at about 5 or 6 different venues. Some up to an hour away.

you are very lucky then brigadier m - there is only one venue within realistic driving distance of my house - and that one is 45 minutes away. so i have to take what i can get in terms of tourneys, and cutting back on the number of marvel tourneys really really gets my dander up(old people phrase, don't worry about it).

With Wizkids allowing for less tournaments to be scheduled per venue (one per week for August) LEs may actually become more rare.

LE's will be given out out to the player directly come August. The new system is each player gets a card. The card is "punched" for each toruney they play in. Once the card is filled (don't quote me but I think its every 4 tourneys) the player can send in to Wizkids for the "LE of The Month" The cards don't expire so if you don't like that month's LE you can wait. It should keep a lot more people happy especially the poeple who have trouble winning week in and week out.
