Tie advanced title... Really

By Saionide, in X-Wing

A wings have to lose their missile slot to reduce 2 points and you go and give tie advanced a free guaranteed two hit results or free add a crit result to your attack??? So rediculously stupid!

You should make an imperial only free upgrade that gives them all 12 attack at any range lmfao.

A wings were not terrible before. They just weren't very good. Advanced is just awful, with the exception of Vader in certain meta's and lists.

Clearly you have never played against a good A-wing pilot. Those little guys are SICK now. The Advanced needed this fix, and it's a good one. Unlike the A-wing, the Advanced generally isn't an arc dodger (though Vader with EU and Juno can be!). It's total lack of offense or any defensive tricks kept the poor Advanced sitting on the sideline.

Until we get these fixes, play with your A-wings more. I think you'll feel differently afterwards.

A-Wings see play, even without the Refit. Advanced just... don't. Really not sure what your point is, here.

The changes to the Advanced doesn't make them into super-ships (well, except maybe Vader). It makes them good, but not game-breaking.

Their dial still isn't great and even with Accuracy Corrector they will still have problems against high agi ships. They'll be great against low-agi ships though.

And ATC is good, but not great (except with Vader). Mostly because your damage output & defense plummets whenever you have to switch targets.

All the changes just made it into a ship worth taking, not something that outclasses every other ship.

Even with Vader, you're still paying for what you get, so it's still balanced.

Don't feed the trolls...

A-Wings had some really fun setups to play in casual gaming too. Advanced were kinda bland. Vader was the only good option and he wasn't tough to beat. Advanced will have a role in the list now. It won't play anything like the A-Wing. I don't think you can compare them.

The Advanced does get compared to the X-wing though. The game's namesake needs some love. I haven't seen one in play in months! The Advanced fix (long over due) has me excited about what FFG might do with ships like the Defender, E-wing, and X-wing in the future. This was a well thought out, thematic fix.

I saw a few X-Wing heavy squads at the regional I went to. There was a 100-0 match at a table next to me with a 3 X-Wing Squad taking out. Corran and Dash. I didn't run around and count but there may have been more X-Wings than TIE fighters on the tables.

I don't believe that I saw a single Advanced.

So the raider isn't even out yet and the QQ has begun, excellent your tears power our tie advanced.

Have you seen the season 2 premier of Rebels?

First of all - welcome to the forums!

Next up, yeah the advanced was really bad - priced like an X-wing, but there is serious dissonance between green and red die, the x-wing (which needs an upgrade) was the better ship.

The X-1 title is a neat little fix that gives advanced options, making the TIE Advanced, not the TIE Skoda.

I was trying to more compare the "fixes" to each ship not the ships themselves. Where the average missile cost is 4 granted only a one use type thing but those proton rockets on an A can hurt bad. Now the missiles on any A wing got increased in cost by 2 since you now have to sacrifice refit to put one on. The advance sacrifices nothing for its new "fix" and even can get that fancy new tie only engine making all banks green.

How many A wings have you seen without rockets since refit in tournament play?

Tournament players using ordnance?

Likewise, Wedge and Biggs took the Mesa, AZ regional.

Forum STILL needs an unlike button.

Awings were nowhere near as bad off as the advanced and actually saw competitive play right before the z hit. Some named aces still Pop up now and again and they are still crazy good blockers. Advanced haven't seen real play since what? Wave 2 and that was Vader and soontir teaming up as the best 2 pilot abilities in the game.

When talking about the A-Wing "fix" you can't ignore the A-Wing Test Pilot title. The refit by itself was enough to make Prototypes cheap enough to toss one or two into a list as cheap blockers but the ability to take a second EPT was huge for the named pilots.

Nobody forcing you to play the game

Ebay is a great tool to sell your stuff if your that unhappy with the way the game is being designed

The EPT you still pay for instead of a free up to 4 point sensor and after that just costing -4.... Yes test pilot is okay so you can bump jake and arvel to Vi or predator and push. Gemmer only gets one which is odd since even the greens get 2

And if you are gonna complain that advanced don't get used I know someone who still uses vader in the advanced because they like him.

A quick perusal of the Regional thread showed be 4 Jakes with Proton Rockets. Keep in mind, this is in the top 8. So, not only showing up, but winning.
