Why I Stopped Buying Card Packs For Fallout Wasteland Warfare

- I stopped buying card packs for Fallout Wasteland Warfare, not because I think they suck but because I found a better way to keep track of the unit info for Wasteland Warfare...the app.

Wow, thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it. Another thing to point out (because a lot of folks miss it) is that you can still reference almost all of the cards (perks, characters, equipment etc.) for free. You only pay for the narrative cards (events, explore, quests etc.). So even if you like having the physical cards, the app lets you search for a particular card much faster if you want to check something. You can also use the list builder with the core units and cards for free, which is handy for new players.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for all the hard work you've done in creating this for the community :)
Can't thank you enough for this channel, it is the best resource I've been able to find for general information on F:WW. I just discovered this game and there is a lot of information to absorb, and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for that, I'm glad you find these helpful and are helping you find your feet in the game, that's exactly what I hoped would happen when people found them :)
I hear you Sam, but that feel of actual cards is too much to let go. The app can go away with the flip of a switch, I'll always have my cards. But I can absolutely see the ease and convenience of the app, and that guy that does it is really in touch with the community
It’s totally fair points and I totally agree. I’ll likely pick up the cards I don’t have if I see them on offer
I would buy one set of cards in case the app is discontinued (and it will be one day). At least if you have some cards you can play the game in 10-15 years from now. Data sheets (ie cards) should be free for download if they don’t come with the minis, and they intend to do updates regularly - imo. It’s been a bit costly to buy cards separately, just to have a playable game out of the box though. Extra steps to get playing with the minis is never a good thing, especially if you’re like me and bought a new box and didn’t realize they stopped including the cards. Digital rules are great so long as they’re supporting it, but future proofing is something to consider if you’ve dropped significant $$ on the miniatures (and these ones aren’t cheap).
I guess if the app was Modiphius made it would have a bit more security to it when it comes to longevity
Thanks so much! I've only recently gotten into the game, and this app will help a ton!
Glad I could help!
I get the cards just to collect them. The new Vegas wave was a pain tho, but pretty easy to punch out. Awesome content as always!👍☺️
Thanks so much!
I've heard a lot of good arguments in defense of card packs, but really the only one that makes total sense to me logically is the fact that having them made in two separate places can cause issues. That being said, every other game I have includes everything you need to play right out of the box, so it drives me crazy that this game is different. I'd be more ok with it if the card packs weren't insanely marked up in price, but they are clearly trying to make more money off of what should already come with the models you've already spent money on. I'd even be OK with spending that much on the card packs if it came with a one time code to allow access in the app or something too. But now they want me to also spend money on a subscription instead. I do think the app is a great value, but I would so much rather have physical cards
I’m with you. I love having physical cards but if the price was a bit lower I’d have no problem picking up each one
The cards are cool I have them for my mirelurks, I do like having the cards all in front of me it speeds up how I play. The app is amazing though makes it so convenient to build lists. I want an app for elder scrolls still.
I do love physically holding products, that’s why I love buying books but I’m notorious for losing cards and counters for games 😬
One day...
I adore the app. I've been using it since around the time it came out and think it's fantastic. The amount if time it saves and not having to place chits all over the place is great. I. Still a sucker for physical cards though, so I but them all as well (the wife need not know 😆) and I actually quite like having the character cards sitting at my table so I can quickly check stats and distances without having to flick through the app (even though it's super simple on the app).
Awesome video... more fallout wasteland warfare content please 😁😁😁
Tell the wife nothing! ;)
I hear you though, I love physical cards but if it's between getting a new card set or getting new minis it'll be new minis.
Cards are fine if you like cards.They were great up until the New Vegas releases. The new “pop out” approach is awful. I understand why they did it, but it’s still a massive step down in terms of quality. I hope they release them as a proper deck some time in the future.
Yeah I haven’t punched those yet because I’m scared I’ll rip them 😬 are they going to look like that going forward though?
I certainly won’t be buying any more sets until they return to “proper” cards.
@@MisfitHobbies I wasn't happy either but they mentioned it in one of the fallout friday's article that it was a necessary decision to avoid having more delays or raising prices. I really hope that with the next wave we will receive the quality ones. I have all cards up until now. If they update some cards I just download the latest version and print it out.
@@robertsarasi392 oh totally, it is what it is and I think with all that's been happening in the world these past couple of years they've done a great job on keeping the products coming on time
What exactly happened with the New Vegas cards now? Let me see if I have this right. They're printed in a sheet with perforations to remove them from?
I'm guessing that's what you meant, because I've seen that before with other games. They're almost always very cheaply made and nearly impossible not to rip when you remove them.
Always love your vids!
Any chance to expect a structured tutorial of the Skyrim boardgame from you? The new one, not CtA.
Would love one without too much back and forth chatter between people playing the demo.
The current TTS version has the whole first campaign and market place in it already.
I’d love to put together how to plays for the board game when it comes out, I’ll likely have to wait until then just so that the games rules are all final :)
@@MisfitHobbies makes sense!
obviously old video, but i really like using the app for this purpose!😀
I love the physical packs I can't imagine only relying on a app that may go out of date one day on a game I dump so much money into
Very true
For the people who don't live in a country where the packs are sold (me for example) it makes even more sense to not buy the cards, even because we already have to pay some big extra bucks to import the minis (taxes, fees etc)...
The app will cease function when the developer gets bored of it and moves on to a newer and or better paying development project. Hence I will stick to the cards.
See the FFG dice app for example.
Maybe but for the time being it’s been well supported
Understandable, but trust me, the app isn't about the money, it's because I love the game. As long as Modiphius keep supporting the game, I'll still be playing it, and I'll keep the app updated.
@@Maloric where is the app I couldn't see the link
So are you not buying the new rule books? If you are your buying the cards.
I was sent some of the new books, but I’d have bought them for the content as opposed to the cards
If you buy the minis, you should have free app access AT LEAST for their cards. I bought the base game and a couple of other miniatures, and that's it for me. This business model of selling things that need other things in another box to simply function properly isn't any good. Like "hey, you can buy this car, but you'll have to buy the tires separatelly because we have logistical issues"...
Unfortunately what you're saying is pretty much commonplace with most mini games these days
theyve done the same thing for Elder Scrolls CTA... expect us to keep buying card packs every single little set release...
At least the cards are all pretty good quality
The moment I got to use the fww app during a game, I knew I wasn't going to be buying cards again.
Amen
