New season! Mid 2017
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 12:54 amSorry it's a week late, but here's the switchover!
- Core levels have been updated! You can see the spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Core is now: Logic, Ascend, Lurk, Audacity, Crimson, Mindtrix, Athena, Salute, Flea. The only change from last season is that we've lost Vamped.
Wrath almost made it on its own merits, and the play seemed pretty evenly broken down between straight Wrath and the X versions. (And apparently someone made a shaker version? Whaaaa???) In spite of that, really poor performace in the "play twicer" category suggests that this is a hardcore following, not a broad one, and disqualifies it from core. Plus we've had this talk more than once and said no.
RIP also almost made it, but there was a big dropoff in total matches played so it wasn't close enough to really be "almost".
Very excitingly -- Droids almost made it, falling short by only a couple points in each category. It's very exciting to see a new level break in like that, and I for one feel it represents something pretty fresh as far as play goes, too. Very cool.
Extended Core is now: Core + Wrath, RIP, Droids, Ugh, Vamped, Take2, Fuzed, Nysa, Fable, Logic2, Black Rose. We've lost Savage, Killbox, Anarctic, and Nocturnal from last season, and gained Droids, Fable, and Logic2.
Logic2 and Black Rose were both marginal choices, but diversity is the point of extended core, so we erred on the side of more levels.
----------
- I awarded Top Pilot medals to the pilots who had earned them last season
- We really gotta do props this time. And award the props from last time. Props are cool.
