STOP OVERHAUL OLD CARDS

[shadow sentinel]

I really hate it when you guys completely overhaul old decks instead of just putting new mechanism into new cards. It completely destroys the playstyle of old decks. Resistance is my favorite deck in the game, but with all the changes, it feels totally different now. If you want to introduce new mechanics, just create new cards! Stop changing the older decks—let them keep their original feel

Bro

Old resistance was cancerous

This is a new form of cancerous

And frankly changing it was necessary to make it new

[icy verge]

my words, De-ja-vu...years ago - after the first rotations. I have given up and accepted.

[shadow sentinel]

yeah ik this is not the first time they doing this

[icy verge]

if they will not bring back these cards , I can understand why they change it. but...on the other hand, there is no need. more room for new cards. also....it affects players for classic games. like you or draft. so I understand your point.

[shadow sentinel]

it just so frustrating we cant even play these old decks anymore

if they just put it into rotation we can still play it, but rework...

[icy verge]

btw. I hated resistance and never played it. but I can understand you. and from a neutral site, I dont understand why they block the fun of classic match gamers. instead of making new cards

[shadow sentinel]

that's the point why I like to play it, toxic deck is toxic but is fun. You can nerf it but totally rework is shit

[remote hare]

Eh honestly prefer they do that

I mean look at mobilize

That's gonna need a rehull at some point

It doesn't help 1939 just looks at current gains

looks at compromise

[shadow sentinel]

mobilize is also one of my fav deck before, after the change it just become unplayable

[remote hare]

That's the point, they need to full rework mobilize to be playable again

They just did it with Resistance to actually make it doable

Sooner or later devs have to do it

[shadow sentinel]

i dont understand why 1939 want to destory old players pleasure so bad

[remote hare]

Ah yes, so we can perpetuate the suffering of old meta

Look some of those old cards were literally unfair man

Old Japan Resistance

[shadow sentinel]

i mean if people hate Resistance they can just leave it in classic

[remote hare]

And essentially abandon the idea entirely???

Mate that's not a good idea

I'd much rather have it reworked than fully abandoned

[idle nebula]

This is not true
The devs have no obligation to change old cards to make them better. In the past, when they've done this, it's usually with cards that see no play and nobody holds very dear (like B5N Kate, P-38 lightning, Shibata, etc.). When done at this level, making new themes with old cards that didn't really fit any theme, this is a net positive for the game.
Going back and changing old cards that did have a very explicit theme is not the same. People do like the old versions of these cards, and now no longer have the option of playing them

[shadow sentinel]

yes that's what im saying, people can not play them anymroe, it's killing the game

[remote hare]

As if that's not what's been happening since 2024

Look it's bad maybe but I'll be honest it's better the resistance gets reworked rather than just be stuck in classic purgatory

[idle nebula]

Nah, this is very different from previous design changes. When resistance got changed in the past, it still maintained its core theme and was just tuned down in strength. This is entirely changing the way the deck works. Those old decks just do not funciton anymore because the cards in them are so dramatically different from what they used to be

there is no reason for this to be an issue except for that the devs chose not to print entirely new cards

[shadow sentinel]

It's not only about the resistance

For example, one roof is one of the best OTK deck in the game, but after the rework the whole deck is die

[remote hare]

I'll be honest I don't care where this game goes anymore given I don't play this game anymore so I'm just watching this shit unfold with buttered popcorn

[shadow sentinel]

they can nerf it to 6 costs,no drawing cards or something, but instead they just kill the whole deck

[remote hare]

And with that I'm forfeiting my argument

[idle nebula]

fair enough I guess

[umbral violet]

I'm entirely cool with the resistance rework in all honesty

And I say this as someone who faced brit and jpn resistance back in the day

It seems much more interesting compared to what we had back then

Sure I do get the argument for keeping things as they were in classic but you'd have to make an entirely new gamemode for people to play with the unchanged/unnerfed versions of the cards

And I don't see something like that happening

Resistance is a really iconic and core part of the French participation in ww2.
Old resistance proved to be unworkable and so France suddenly couldn’t have anything resistance related added to them.
I also generally side with not changing old mechanics but in this case I think it’s an exception.
Imagine if like Germany had some really broken tank stuff so we never made another German panzer. It would be really weird Germany stopped getting tanks. That’s kinda what happened with resistance.

[viscid prawn]

But why change the art I think it was silly

[tired yarrow]

I like the new one

[unreal minnow]

it would be cool if the old artwork could be used as an alternative one

[flint gust]

resistance was also iconic and core part of the french in kards lol

still think it mostly wasn't that bad and people just never wanted to tech against it same way they have to tech against aggro or whatever but ho well

[signal hinge]

Well that is where the second point came up. Resistance literally did not have another card add or mention resistance in 6 years

It had to be transformed into a mill deck and even then resistance wasn’t directly given new cards that cared about them
