So the new faction sounds cool but...

By Schmarbs523, in X-Wing

Wow, more and more disappointments from FFG @ GenCon.

Well, so that means for me, wave 5 will be more or less the faraway gift for me...

Im sure i will play as long as i can without getting into this shyt... but thats it...

I still dont get why we needed a 3rd faction...

With that move i just see two things.. satisfying the loudest 35% in the forum (that was whineing about 3rd faction) and greed.

(I know i know they are a company... blablabla... still i had high hopes they would be different since their CS is excellent)

"Hey, Lets sell all the models again.... but not as Aces.. no no lets use the same ones for a 3rd faction... MORE MONEY!

AND we can still do in addition new Aces with the same models again.... for the originated Faction... MORE MOENY!"

Sad that i already sunk so much money in that game.. should have just borrowed miniatures as needed when playing.

Now im the whiner... hope it is worth it!

(Yes i neeed to rant... stick your comment up there where the sun is not shining...)

I too wanted a good version of Vader since...

THERE ARE ONLY 2 PILOTS ON EACH FACTION THAT HAVE 9PS AND ONE OF EM IS MORE OR LESS USELESS...

*dumba**es*

*done ranting*

Love you all!

Look dude, you don't have to like it. But the way I see it, the Scum make the Imperials all the cooler:

You can now go and clean up the galaxy and restore order as the Empire.

And there is no reason to assume that the Tie Advanced Fix won't happen. It just hasn't happened yet. I'm sure that the playtesters are probably hopefully working on it now. The A-Wing has a ton of stuff happening to it that should make it better, (Chardaan Refit dual EPT's, Proton Rockets) so they'll prolly have some things that will make the Tie Advanced viable, will retaining it's intended flavor. Hopefully.

There's some fun stuff in Star Wars that doesn't fit neatly with the existing factions, and now they have a place for that stuff. They can also do some interesting design without (e.g.) the constraints of Howlrunner and Biggs.

And you can't have it both ways: either it's a decision that was only made to satisfy a small minority of players OR it will be financially profitable. It doesn't make sense to claim that not many people will like Scum, but lots of people will buy it.

Same to you.

Ya ya that you do read but not the ...

Love you all!!!

Typical :)

And yes you can do both.. listen to a minority.. and see how profitable it would be.

Lets be honest, we all WILL eat what they put on the plate... (me too i know it since i cant say no to this great game)

BUT i needed to rant about it since im really disappointed.

And when im telling and ranting to my wife about it im sure she would divorce me... :P

*and by the way... i needed to edit that in.. this game makes me be 12 again... so im all pouty all boy and child like again... that is soooo weird i tell ya...

i feel like i wanna lay on the floor wildly wave my arms and legs and cry and yell when i dont get what i want*

Another edit... dont take me to serious man.... haha sorry if you felt offended by the comment about sticking it! Was not my intention!!!

Just wanted the Tie Avenger T_T. I sold my firespray(minus upgrade cards) because I dont need BH scum.

Wow, way to totally blueball that guy.

I sold it to a friend who knew that it had no upgrades. He just wanted another firespray.

Likewise i bought a second firespray half price with no upgrades to do the Kath Scarlet repaint. I didnt need the cards so 50 pe cent off was a boon.

I don't like this "hopefully" word that you seem rather fond of hah. I'd really like for somebody at FFG to at least tell us something regarding the future of the TIE Advanced, be it even a simple yes or no, rather than keeping us completely in the dark about it.

Chardaan refit should have been extended to the TIE Adv.

This. Or an upgrade that would increase the attack dice by one for a cost of 2 or 3 points as any higher point cost would defeat the purpose of rectifying the unreasonably high cost of the ship as it is now.

Still hoping for a card for the bomber that goes like this; uses a missile and torpedo slot to gain another bomb slot.

I like the TIE Advanced, and I love flying Vader. However, I actually hope they leave it alone, for three reasons:

  1. Opportunity cost: there are things I would prefer them to work on. Like MY Imperial huge.2mo5pow.gif
  2. The TIE Advanced already got upgrades: they're called the TIE Interceptor and the TIE Defender.
  3. I think the TIE Advanced should be a little more rare than the other ships.

? You don't think the bomber has enough ordnance slots?

I'd prefer something that made ordnance just a little cheaper for the bomber. I really do love my bombers, and I love using ordnance, but ****, it's expensive (in points).

I am not happy. I want tie Advanced to not SUCK. Okay. Doesn't have to be great, but I'd like it to not SUCK.

Also, I am not a comic-grown, middle-aged, balding, gung-ho-patriotic, small-good-guys-big-bad-guys, American propaganda sniffing hoo-ya-ing OT elitist.

Long live the Empire.

Fix the Tie Advanced.

Imperial Huge Ships.

Hoo-ya.

The Tie Advanced should really have a role too. Its mostly just a forgotten piece of crap in most of our collections. Sold as a wave part. Its really frustratingly rude to customers. If this was a Japanese company they'd be in deep ****.

You see, the key word there, is ARGUABLY. We all know that the REAL most iconic pilot is Wedge Antilles. Hmm lets see.... Saves Luke's butt twice, helps blow 2 Deathstars, only person onscreen to take out an At-At Luke style.... I think he qualifies as most iconic.

Sorry, i couldnt hear you over the clash of lightsabers.

This would produce less ordnance slots. I want more bombs for the bomber.
