Dear Bandai

The amount of errors on recent cards is getting too high. I've heard of plans for erratas but that's unacceptable. I know that the amount of manpower working on this game is very low but that's really no excuse when you are putting out a "professional" product. You need to buckle down and actually read through and look for mistakes on cards before they hit the print.

The errata was not meant for fixing unclear wording, missing characteristics, or capitalized names. I strongly suggest hiring a group, preferably one that knows about this game and the English language, to go over the cards before they get printed. If the budget just does not have room for that, I'm sure many people will gladly do this for free. It may sound unprofessional to get help from the community, but it's much more unprofessional to print faulty product only to fix it online.

Agreed. Small grammatical errors are one thing. Human Path getting Odd, 4th KAZEKAGE getting Mission for it's timing, Anko Mitarash...it's like whoever puts the cards to print doesn't care about the game. And I know that's not true. Erratas, in my opinion, should be used for balancing. Not as a "we can fix a card later, just finish the design now."

For hilarious results, put Alex Bykov in charge of quality control. Unless that's the current situation, in which case, that explains a lot.

Still can't believe that happened. At the event it happened no less.

Same. I mean things like capitalization and missing characteristics could be ignored if not for the fact some players would rule shark anyone that tried.

Things like Kazekage being Mission or needing to clarfiy badly worded cards are just poor planning on Bandai's part.

Is it bad that I intentionally appealed to the head judge on calls I knew were right just to interrupt his game of Farmville?

Actually erratas are meant for misprints. If cards are broken and need to be balanced, then they should be banned or limited, there are some exceptions of course. I don't disagree with OP, though. Some of these mistakes are just careless.

Well I did say "In my opinion", so...
