Dear HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

A couple of updates we thought you would be interested in.<\/p>\n

First, the rules forum is humming along.\u00a0 We are pleased to report that the majority of questions have been answered by pointing out where they can be found in the core or comprehensive rulebook.\u00a0 There have been some specific figures that have required very prudent rulings, as well as a few questions that have required more thoughtful consideration.\u00a0 So far so good, and we appreciate that people are being judicious with their questions as it allows us to \u00a0respond within a few business days.\u00a0 The less \u201clook at page X\u201d we receive, the more we\u2019re able to provide rapid responses to the community, so thank you!<\/p>\n

Second, we promised we\u2019d report on the trial run for a potential new scoring system we ran at GenCon (see here: https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/2017\/06\/30\/design-insight-a-look-at-heroclix-tournament-scoring\/<\/a>). In short it would need substantial modification and further trial.\u00a0 The majority thought the method was too confusing and there were glitches in the software that lead to delays. Additionally, after a match was over, there was no way to compare the results of your match with others in between rounds to know how you did.\u00a0 Most respondents said the goals were worthy and we are thinking about ways where a set score allows you to leave the match knowing your \u201cscore\u201d and could then compare that \u201cscore\u201d immediately with other players.\u00a0 It could be as simple as Survival Points\/2 + KO points scored.\u00a0 However, questions come up like if those points carry over from round to round, or if the gamecounts as a win if you\u2019re in the top 50% and then the points are left behind?\u00a0 Regardless, there is nothing further planned on this initiative at this time, and probably nothing until early 2018 at the earliest.\u00a0 Thank you to the attendees for their feedback and patience.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for now, hope you\u2019re enjoying the latest sets and please work with stores on making successful SideKick Nights<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!\u00a0 This is a huge opportunity to introduce new players and lapsed players to the benefits of the new rules.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to bring a new player to make a difference; ask your store if you can help or volunteer to run one!<\/p>\n<\/div>
