Suggested rephrasing for next version of ACG Guild Guide re: Tier Advancement.

4/5

Hiya,

Quick suggestion for some slightly amended wording in the next version of the Adventure Card Game Guild guide.

Currently, v5.0 OP Guide, Appendix 1, p. 14. Tier Rewards, paragraph 1 reads:

Quote:
After you successfully complete a new scenario, your character earns a tier reward based on the number of new scenarios your character has completed within your tier. [...]

Currently, v5.0 OP Guide, Appendix 1, p. 14. Tier Rewards, paragraph 3 reads:

Quote:
Anytime after winning your fourth new scenario in any tier, you can choose to advance a tier; [...]

This latter language, in particular, appears to suggest that you can choose to advance a tier whenever you want, provided you have completed at least four scenarios at your current tier. I'm advised this is not the case.

I respectfully suggest it might be clearer if these read:

Quote:
After you successfully complete a new scenario and receive scenario rewards, your character earns a tier reward based on the number of new scenarios your character has completed within your tier. [...]

and:

Quote:
Whenever you complete your fourth or fifth new scenario in any tier, after receiving scenario rewards, you can choose to advance a tier; [...]

This would more clearly tie tier advancement back to the order of operations for rewards spelled out at v5.0 OP Guide, p. 10, "After the Scenario", para. 1:

Quote:
A major difference in Adventure Card Guild play is the method by which you improve your deck after completing a scenario. This happens in three steps: earning scenario rewards, earning tier rewards, and upgrading your deck.

Just a humble suggestion from a rather foolish halfling bard hitherto befuddled by "anytime". :)

I'm not sure if your wording is exactly the solution that is needed, but I concur with your point.

The decision to advance a tier can only be made in a narrow window of time -- basically, in the resolution of a scenario (in my understanding). You can't just decide in the middle of the fifth scenario "Oh, I'll go up a tier right now", for example.

Fair, I'm sure there are more clear and succinct ways of stating it. To add clarity, if not succinctness, I wonder if the following are better:

Quote:


Immediately after you successfully complete a new scenario and receive scenario rewards, your character earns a tier reward based on the number of new scenarios your character has completed within your tier. [...]

and:

Quote:


Immediately after receiving scenario rewards for completing your fourth or fifth new scenario in any tier, you can choose to advance a tier; [...]
