Frosthaven Update 92 - Are we finally there?

[Music] hey everybody it's james here from neural net games and today we're talking about frost haven update number 92 but before we get to that i just want to let you know i've started a second channel where i play magic the gathering so if you're looking for really cool deck ideas and synergies and fun stuff go ahead make sure you check that out there's going to be a link to the channel in the pin comment i need your support i need you to come and watch those videos if you like to play magic okay let's get to the update it's finishing up files and info from laserock so let's start with the good news first they are almost ready to start printing uh they're gonna get ready here hopefully by the end of the month they still have a handful of things to finish up uh they're doing the final big round of edits on the scenario and section books which should be finishing up early next week then they just need to give those uh final ones over to make sure all the edits went smoothly and then they should be ready for the printer and then josh is still finishing up the final card templates to get all the smaller components done so looks like maybe we're finally getting there are we finally going to get this wrapped up and then the last thing we have to deal with is the shipping crisis okay let's look at some of these items and the first thing i just want to point out to you is that stamina potion is totally fixed i love this fix so much for so for all of those of you who haven't seen it before during your turn refresh one level one card from your discard pile thank you it means they have more control over what cards you're gonna go grab from the discard and it has its intended purpose it gives you an extra little bit of longevity make sure you're using it on turns when you have an odd number of cards so that you get an extra full turn of longevity but it's just it's not going to be as easily exploitable and then they've also fixed right here they've got the uh crafting symbols they've tweaked those a little bit so like in those and i'm just so excited there's been so much drama in this campaign that it just feels really good to talk about some of the other some of the cool stuff that they're actually doing because i still think this is going to be the greatest game of all time for people who love this style of game i think that it's going to blow gloomhaven out of the water you know even though it's been a bit of a rocky road to get there the next is they've kind of modified the cards for the monsters and the monster ability cards nothing really major um i still don't really understand why they're not blue i think it would make more sense to me if they were you know some sort of blue theme but anyways that's personal preference it's not the end of the world the next is these really cool boss cards um and i hope that they've thought really long and hard about how bosses work because they were too gimmicky and gloomy even they weren't that good i've got a bunch of videos on you know things i don't like about gloomhaven i'll put a link down in the description so you can go and take a look if you want but anyways the bosses to fit the information better they are only two like actual pieces of information so you see here we've only got level zero and one instead of zero one two and three um and that's just to allow some more room to actually display the information without just jamming it in really tightly i think that's a good design decision and it's one that actually costs them more money that you know they've essentially done just to make the game better and so i just want to say i appreciate that there's been a bunch of negativity in the campaign and i totally get it i mean it has been a show with this broken token stuff and all the delays and you know everything else but it still shows that they're working hard to make the game better and we still don't have you know any more clarity on shipping but at least we're getting us a commitment right here all get all the efforts done by the end of the month still on track to make this happen seems a bit ambitious just from what i'm reading maybe the final edits aren't really that much but it feels like potentially it could be longer still but anyways they've committed to getting it done by the end of the month we still don't have a good understanding of you know exactly how shipping is going to work and i still have a lot of concerns about that if anyone has information on that thoughts on that make sure you comment below i'm always interested in hearing you know what people have to say on the subject because you know i haven't gotten a game for so long it's crazy like for through kickstarter like everything has been delayed so much like i've ordered games years ago that haven't shown up i had it one point like seven eight somewhere around there seven or eight games out in the ether and none of them have come through yet it's been pretty crazy okay let's talk about the organizers next and i feel like we don't have clarity still i think maybe we're getting a little bit closer but the value proposition still has not been addressed um so this the information in this update has nothing to do with the folded space one it's basically just about laser rocks and so let's start you know with that we've got laser aux and there there's gonna be an extra set of questions so that you can decide whether you want tuck box option or whether you want this wood solution to hold the monsters and so let's just talk about those and so i was looking at this right i i don't have the top box solution for gloomhaven kind of cheap i guess i've got like a basic organization system i kind of created myself with envelopes and bags and all kinds of things it works though anyways i see here one two three four five i see 20 total spots for tuck boxes i know there are drastically more monsters than that so are you just like mixing monsters in some of these tuck boxes if we look here at the wooden insert it's got five layers and it's got nine monster spots per so that would be 45 monsters and right now i just can't remember exactly how many um monsters there are but 45 being spread out like that and easily sortable by layer seems to me to be drastically more efficient and desirable than these tuck boxes so i'm really curious make sure you comment below and let me know why you would choose either option and i'm curious to see if people would choose the tuck boxes and why because to me i would 100 percent choose the actual wooden like monster solution right doesn't make sense to me that you would have these weird little tuck boxes anyways make sure you comment and yeah don't forget you need to fill out the form so that you can decide which one you're going with if you're going with the laser aux organizer it's going to have four character trays that you can kind of hold your active characters i mean pretty standard stuff there they're saying there won't be any lid lift but i don't know if they can really commit to that because they still don't have a solution for the map tiles so i guess i mean if they are committing to that that probably means the map tile solution is going to be an exterior solution which i think is just fine so let's see if that actually you know holds up and and stays true trays will have slanted walls for easy access wherever possible nice little you know condition token organizer and i think they've made some progress like i feel like this is we're getting closer but again like i said the value piece just has not been addressed i think laser aux to me now with what i've seen here is a better overall solution than folded space just because it is made out of wood and wood is better than foam in my opinion i mean it's not better for weight but overall just for aesthetic and like you know games are a bit of a showpiece now right people want to show off their board games because they cost a flip and fortune and you want to have something that your friends are gonna be like oh ah right like anyways that's pretty much it for the update if this video helped you hit that like button don't forget to subscribe and i just want to say a big thank you to all of my viewers and all of my subscribers i couldn't do it without you you
