Default Re: Is the REAL problem with VQs...Norfleet?

Quote:
So are you going to ignore the Natarajah, Carrion Dragon, All-Father, Ghost King, Prince of Death, Neried, Dagon, Saurolich, Son of Niefel, Void Lord?

All of these Chassis can be designed and equipped that will kill a VQ and have plenty of room to spare. Not to mention the ones you already mentioned.
I don't care about designed and equipped. stop thinking about game situations and just look at the facts people.


Vampire Queen

Flying, Erthreal, Stealth, Lifedrain, Immortality, Ally Summoning, Cold Resistance, Poison Resistance and Regeneration. 2 paths, one at level two. 110 points for the chassis.

Is the Nataraja a better chassis than the VQ? It's got four arms. This is better than immortality and the rest of the VQ's toys? Of course not. That's why it costs LESS than the VQ. Look at the ones that cost more. Is the Cyclops more or less attractive to you than a VQ?

Please stop with the amount you have to spend to get it to be a SC. This is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the unit BEFORE modifications is superior to the rest. This is why different pretenders cost different prices. This is why the Allfather is 125 points and not zero.

So please, again. Give me ten pretender chassis that are better than the VQ. Explain the logic that dictates that a Titan or Shedu should cost more than a VQ. You cannot because it does not exist. Either a dozen or more pretenders are overpriced, or a few are underpriced. However you wish to define the situation, it exists and should be fixed.

Regardless of how you fix the problem, it's there. If you wish to solve it by reducing the prices of 25 pretenders or raising the price of one is irrelevant.

Perhaps you are all correct, and it's simply 90% of the field that is priced incorrectly. While you are correct that the ZERO point Nataraja is also good VALUE, and the 50 point Carrion Dragon is also good VALUE, you ignore that there are dozens of other chassis that are nearly worthless when a few are clearly more attractive to use.
