Final word on Going Home Bowed
If a unit is sent home bowed, becoming bowed is contingent upon actually going home. This is a REVERSAL.
Is there going to be any change to Winter Warfare?
No.
With this reversal this event is once again "Doom of the Ninja."
Correct. Black footy-pajamas and deep snow don't mix.
replies to the 20 May digest
Gold Edition still has a fair number of mid-range Personalities (you may recognize them as the ones people point out are "too good" for Gold: Uso, Rekai, Rohiteki), and we're seriously examining Alpha to make sure there are still people between the Morito Tokei and Hida Yakamo Exp3 power levels.
Does that mean their gold cost are being increased for Gold?
Considering I listed them as examples to assuage someone's fears that the Four Winds storyline environment will have no useful boxable personalities, that's a good indication that their costs won't be increased. (Of course, "indication" isn't the same as "proof"...)
