Because the only thing that distracts us more, is the posting of new toys.

So post the preview for Wave 9, and most of these other discussions will melt away.

Granted, we'll probably just start a whole new wave of arguments over what is or is not over-powered based on limited evidence and no testing by ourselves, but hey... that's part of our charm as a community, right?

Only been a day it will end regardless. I am eager to see wave 9!

Eh, whatever distracts people I guess.

Imperial veterans will give us some new toys. The only problem is we haven't seen any toys that are really new. We already have a single tractor beam.

I think the tournament season will give us plenty to talk about.

How about let's slow down the waves. I'll be happy with waiting until after the boat for imp vets is half way here before getting another preview for something else. I say 1 wave a year from now on and also some other release as well (like vets or epic or something).

Instead of slowing waves, maybe making the waves smaller, and just as frequently if not more so...kind of like here is an expansion (one or two ships or an box like Veterans, Aces, etc). Then a few months later, here is another. In other words instead of a massive flood of new stuff, a constant stream could be nice.

Either way a long time between waves isnt the best, for players that want more, or for the company, if people lose interest or sales drop.

Me too, I was like WTF HOW DID I MISS THE PREVIEW

No no no. Bad wave to slow down on. Let the wave roll and crush all the u-boats craze.

(Although, they're super fun in a giddy way.)

Honestly I agree with the OP, some of the recent discussions have been whacked.

Might be quite awhile before we see the wave 9 announcement. My guess is GenCon.
