Looking forward to see if the FAQ did much to the top lists, not expecting a huge shift though. Still expecting a fair amount of Knight w/IG. Smash captain probably replaced by something that brings more command points to make up the deficit, or just something that gets work done without strategm. The choice of the latter should be interesting. Hope I’m prooved wrong and my BAs didn’t get a bat to their wings for nothing.
Rereading my comment and it sounded more negative then I wanted it to be. The FAQ has the potential to change things but has issues. I think i have some leftover salt about the path GW chose with the FAQ, which caught a lot of things in the cross fire that didn’t need to be hit.
Hi Reece,
You’ve been talking now about ETC format for lists and I just need to voice my concern that this is a huge step backwards.
The etc “format” is entirely manual. It’s cumbersome and isn’t really a format at all. If you look through etc lists, you’ll find that they’re all the same-ish. This is because everyone interprets it differently. Some include EVERYTHING (grenades for example) some do not.
This will not work for BCP if that’s the goal. Spelling errors and formatting errors will make the data essentially useless, while also making life annoying and difficult for those long used to using Battlescribe.
Manual list writing will also result in an absolutely massive amount of errors. A very small portion of the 40k community actually manually writes lists anymore. When you go back to pen and paper there will be transcription errors as people try to reformat their Battlescribe lists to the ETC format. Errors in Europe are mitigated by the way ETC and other tournaments do list submissions – they’re required well in advance and are then crowd sources for fixing errors. This process takes place four weeks before the tournament, and multiple weeks before most large events.
The way Iron Halo and ATC handled their list submissions was absolutely the best way forward. Battlescribe can output in a simplified format that is both easy to read and easy to search and mine for data.
It also makes errors much simpler to manage. An error on Battlescribe is the same error for everyone, and Battlescribe gets closer to perfect the more users report errors to the admins.
If this is a conflict of interest scenario with a certain international corporation, or perhaps a taste and preference situation… then I’d strongly suggest just don’t endorse a format at all, because it will be annoying for everyone and cause errors with no benefit realized for data collection.
Sincerely,
Val Heffelfinger.
I have to agree
Battlescribe is free with an option for a subscription to remove ads
Its on desktop if some doesnt have a smartphone in 2018???
Is the compromise for BCP / ITC / ETC and battlescribe work together to find a preferred format
Manual list writing sounds like a terrible idea…. like you said spelling will be critical… BS removes an errors by at least standardising the spelling across the board even if its wrong it’ll be consistent
Forgot to add
Attended Iron Halo
Uploading the list in that format was super easy to day and it was also super easy to read my opponents every round
Agree with Val.
