    Welcome to the Infinity forums, is this your first time here? We all know that, we all also don't give a shit and will continue flaming CB when they fuck up to the end of days.

    Personally I was about done with So-Ra but then Gutier had to go and write up that ever so blatantly fake excuse for why So-Ra exists. It's not the first time he's tried some of this bullshit guerilla hype crap in an absolute amateur hour fashion. Not as bad as the time he turned up on a clearly fake Facebook account to try and hype an article on the AU Infinity page, only to reference links that weren't live, but still pretty dumb.

    I think it's a combination of the Jujaks being very sexy sculpts but kind of middling units to begin with - I really want to like them - but I personally can't figure out a good way to use the one of them that I have from Operation Kaldstrom in my WB, let alone 3 more. For that reason I think there was a lot riding on So-ra, not to be some badass character or create a wombo combo out of Jujaks, but rather simply to give some minor synergy or some reason to run Jujaks at all in the first place. The idea of proxying her as a unit I'm already not running (and for that matter buying in a set of two other figures that I could use anyway as proxies or direct representations of Jujak profiles) is the cherry on top of the depression sundae.
    But as I said earlier in the thread I do like trying to play with suboptimal profiles for fun, so I might buy this set anyway - hopefully I'll be proven wrong and someday you'll see me running full AVA Jujaks competetively.

    But that's the thing here. They don't add anything. So-Ra is just another Jujak and Juaks are not that great to begin with. They can't form anything but a duo on their own. She could have been a base Jujak but somehow allowed for them to form their own team but they didn't take the opportunity to do that. They are actually better in White Company where they can at least join Ocrs Core/Haris or Kaplan Core/Haris.

    One of the most used by me and I think a great character is the SpecOps, Xi Zhuang. I think he's like Quinn. He was a part of those three fig boxes of two characters and an HVT. I use him in most vanilla and all ISS lists. 21pts for a really useful profile. He also came with Lelia Shariff who Is also fantastic. They add to their forces but are not monsters. But for all of those troops I feel they put a lot of thought into them.

    The WB characters feel rushed and not tested at all. They hardly add to WB. JIng Qo can only duo with a single Shaolin. Nice but not fantastic. She's ok it CC, ok at shooting, ok at moving around but starts in the DZ. A Specialist Operative is great but she can only push a button or two, she can't do missions that require a specific specialist. Adil is almost the same. They are also both fairly expensive and NOT shock immune so a SMG take them down fairly easy. Gao doesn't do anything the the Shang Ji can't do better. He can't use his own Lt. +2 himself in a fireteam and no NCO. He's also not a White banner character! He's IA. Same with Lei Gong. Liang Kai is a great fig but not great in WB. He can be in a Duo with Jing Qo. Neither have smoke, She has Climb+ and he has Super Jump. So they can't even take advantage of good movement together. Again, not thought out. But in WC he can be in Kaplan Haris/Core.

    I'll say though that I think Winter Force is almost in the same boat as far as characters themselves go but every single one is a Wildcard. Which automatically makes them useful. Especially since they have more than twice as many teams to choose from.

    I will admit I've really wanted a must take character for long time. I want a Yu Jing McMurough, Fiddler, Joan of Arc, Van Zant, KO DALI!!

    Random new account named Carlotta Kowalsky showed up in the aussie FB group asking "heeey guiys, why isn't anyone talking about the cool aussie references dropped in the new CB article?" and linked an article on the CB blog

    Article wasn't live, link was broken for everyone else who tried to view it. Nobody could see it, so it had to be a CB employee

    Facebook account is new doesn't have shit for history. Has exactly 1 friend.

    Mutual friends are shown in facebook. Somebody had Gutier on their friends list and that mutual friend popped up for them, they called them out on it.

    Account has Zoe Saldana as Uhura from Star Trek as the profile avatar. Carlotta is based on that portrayal of Uhura, Carlotta is also Gutier's RPG character.

    Fuckin' amateur hour shit all around.

    It's funny, because I actually really appreciate whenever the staff actually try to get personally involved with the fanbase on social media, especially when they themselves are excited about things (and for whatever flaws that CB may demonstrate from time to time, I would never call them cynical). Not even big Q&A's or announcements, even minor mentions or acknowledgements are encouraging.

    No need to try to astroturf these things, we want to see more of you.

    If we could harness PanO pissing and moaning for smoke, and YJ whining about, well, everything, we’d have clean energy forever!

    Imagine taking pride in being part of the mess that is the discourse on these forums. I feel bad for whatever community you're apart of.

    Yeah I know we can be pretty salty. It's unfortunately due to just being disappointed over and over. I love Yu Jing and want to have fun playing them. And it's a bit of jealously I'll admit. I keep feeling they don't even try working on Yu Jing, meanwhile they do these other games and giving other factions cool stuff like multiple fireteams, bikes, characters that can do stuff, etc. White Banner is disappointing because they have very limited fireteams. Jujak are ok but they made them hard to take in WB. Meanwhile easy to take in White Company. All of the characters are meh at best. Then they make a character that seems like an excuse to a sculpting mistake. Then all of these other factions get Fiddler who is amazing! And she's given to factions that need her like a hole in the head!

    1. That a person is toxic is a pretty toxic opinion to spread
    2. That's marketing, mate. They'll try and sell you excrement as bath soap if they thought they'd turn a profit on it. It's literally their job to put a good spin on bad ideas.

    I disagree about the Marketing. It's just bad marketing. I'm in marketing and it could have been done better if they tried a little harder. There's some very small things they could have done to make her good but I feel they didn't play test her at all. Because eventually you recognize it for what it is and it makes for stink that lasts and hurts you.

    And we'll call them out when they do dumb shit as part of their marketing. Like making a fake facebook account and hoping customer-senpai notices them.

    I am starting to think that this is somewhat by design. (disclaimer: I've never played with or against YJ). But once when I was wondering what are faction strengths and weaknesses I came to believe that YJ faction weakness is that it is the true vanilla faction of the game. It does not have an identity. Pano is not vanilla; it's the "+1 BS but no smoke" faction. YJ? It shoots pretty well (but not the best), it hacks pretty well (but not the best), it CCs pretty well (but not the best), it camo spams pretty well(but not the best), it has good variety of tools (but not the best). You want the baseline, vanilla, non-special Infinity experience? Play Yu-Jing.
    Thus the feeling of the eternal runner-up, of always being envious but never being an object of envy. Even if YJ stuff is quite solid and versatile, it's never the best. Was it on purpose or just an accident that the way YJ is designed causes the same emotions in YJ players as the state-empire feels in the fluff?
    We may never know.

    Or maybe Bostria and Gutier created Yu-Jing to feed player tears to Baphomet in exchange for the eternal siesta.
