Awesome video Ben! Me and my buddies sat across from you and Griffin at the Hoffbreu House(Probbaly spelled that wrong) it was our first big event as well. LVO was a blast. I can't wait for next year.
Thank you for your great work on educating and informing us on Star Wars Legion throughout the last and upcoming years. ✌️🌟 I really appreciate your style of presenting. 👌🏼🍀
Good Shouts here Ben. Between the cover rules, Blizzard, and DarkTs its a rough time to be playing. Hope we get some fixes soon. I know you're not the only one that feels this way.
My community has also been mulling over the new cover rules and considering local version for us to just stick with for now that's fun and intuitive to just us. We have also done some interesting game modes like Commander/Operative only games which were surprisingly fun at 500 and I highly recommend you trying it for the lols. We are also alpha testing a form of "levolution" too, like trains that move through the map each round and other map dynamics.
Adepticon will be my first major tournament and truth be told I’m not as excited about attending it as I thought I’d be. I was really hoping the points update would give Rebels (and other factions) a fighting chance. It really feels like they made wholesale changes instead of taking a scalpel to it, which is what it needs when you add layers of complexity like Battle Forces and Mercenaries.
I haven’t played legion for a couple months (mainly cause my friends I play with have been busy with college) but hearing what’s going on with the rules changes, it seems that I would’ve stopped playing anyways. As someone who plays Separatists, I don’t think I would be having fun playing the game. Especially with the long gaps of releases and points changes for the prequel factions and how behind the prequel factions still are on unit variety compared to the OT factions
Hey, I was your day 1 game 3 opponent! I just wanted to say it was also a blast to play and I'm glad you had so much fun, (the smoking affected me quite a lot as well). Still In awe of your play to almost flip the game completely over at the end there.
I'm super pumped for Ewoks. I plan on sending them in sub-human waves after my opponent like some sort of furry North Korean dictator---even if the Ewoks all perish, there will be much rejoicing by everyone at the table. Plus the thought of Count Dooku getting domed by a rock is just too funny not to give it a try. If they get some kind of stupid traps like in the movie, then all the better. Ahsoka should be cool too. Having another force wielder in the faction will be a tremendous inclusion. Also I didn't realize you could smoke indoors in Vegas. What a hellhole lol.
Totally understandable with the burnout, I also feel generally frustrated fighting blizzard force. Would love to try out your homebrew battle forces, and I'm sure the guys I play with would be super down as well. Have you ever considered homebrew units as well?
Sorry you are stepping away but understandable. Looking forward to your Battle Force ideas though! Also as an alternative maybe some Shatterpoint in the future?
Completely with you Ben have gone from a game a week to 3 games since the preview rules update articles. I’m personally big on rules and enjoy a game partly based on the quality of the rules and balance of it. For me they have been completely squewd. Not that it’s the worst game now but enough that I just find it frustrating. Had a couple of games of the new game “mode” that seemed a lot more balanced and thematic, understanding that it was still in development and needed a couple of tweaks. Yet the fact that that is more balanced than a game who’s been out years saddens me. Oh well. Keep up the content mate. And I’m sure the game will rebound.
To be honest I've only play tested battle forces for when it comes to organising events and they are broken, quick fix ban them from events. You can still play the uber power empire but at least without blizzard force other factions do have a chance to win too, except GAR, even Shadow Collective we've had to nerf in order to allow them into the next event.
As a teacher, I have great pre-determined breaks, but a lot of difficulty taking additional time off. I had to choose between LVO and Adepticon this year, and I chose LVO (which is a decision I'm glad I made). A bunch of the other TR guys will be there though! ~Mbweha (Ben)

Thanks for the update! It was great meeting you at LVO 2023

Take care and do what's good for you, keep at it Ben and hope things come back around.
Homemade battle forces are AWESOME! Thanks for the content.
I've really enjoyed your videos! Can't wait to see what homebrew goodness awaits.
Same feeling here and same conclusion : i'm taking a break and hope i'll enjoy a come back

Can’t wait to see more home brew battle forces!
Great video Ben! Way to come out and be real and vulnerable. Hope the burn out passes!
can’t wait to see your homebrew!!

Ohi Ben!. New rukes for you to consider. I waiting for an enthusiam assessment and views on cover.
I’ll need to play it first, but from what I hear the changes have been very positive overall!

That was such a fun game! I’ll never forgive myself for not seeing that play 2 minutes too late 😂

Well some Battle Forces come with Battle Force unique Units so..... ;)

I’m in love with this game, and I’m kinda nervous about Shatterpoint trumping legion and the fan base deteriorating…

Feal the same, also taking some time off.
Are dark troopers really op?
We’re about to find out this weekend at worlds! :)
You do what you need to. Take a break, make funny lists create crazy videos or none of it. Question, are you going to adepticon?
