My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives, and it's driving me nuts

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

I think Wave 8 has officially overloaded me. I have a regional next month, and I have zero idea what I'm going to fly. There are just too many options right now, and it's only going to get worse if Imperial Veterans comes out within the next 30 days.

And I just know that whatever I select, I'm not going to be happy with it because it means I didn't go with another list that I also liked.

It almost makes me long for the days when the most complex question was "How may TIE fighters should I put in my list?"

Anyone else having this problem?

TIE Advanced: · Darth Vader (29)

Predator (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

TIE/x1 (0)

Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

TIE Avanced Prototype: · The Inquisitor (25)

Push The Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

TIE/v1 (1)

TIE Interceptor: · Carnor Jax (26)

Push The Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Not currently but there are a ton of fun options and imperial vets makes it crazy.

Everyone is having this problem. It's a good problem to have.

But if I fly this, then I can't use the Mist Hunter.

Look at the tel/zuckuss/Palob list from Chicago. It performs.

Wedge, Luke, Biggs. No one will see it coming.

Or Scyk X 7.

Seriously tho, you have to ask if you want to spam something or actually build a balanced list with a variety of ships and abilities. After that it's just tweaking the build until you are as satisfied as you are gonna get. Ace, alpha strike, blocker, tank, control ship, most if not all of these roles can be filled if you carefully plan.

Or just use what ya think are cool ships.

Anyone else having this problem?

Yes and I think its a GREAT thing. Thanks diverse meta!

Clearly you are not OCD about me and perpetually feeling like you're going to be doing it wrong if you go one way instead of another.

Shuttles. Specifically Baffloes.

It's HEDELY.

When the cards were revealed we kicked local playtesting into high gear and almost all of us have our Regionals lists ready and are just waiting for the days to come.

If you're frustrated and haven't got the time to playtest, then my advice to you is go with what you know.

Too many?

Not enough

We really need more autodamage to compliment conners/seismics and AC autoblasters. Not enough antidice tech, not by a long shot

Gal-dammit Mr PhantomFO, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar EXPANSION PACK

Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, it sounds familiar.

I don't know what to fly so I backed out of regionals and will be commentating on our stream instead. :D Less stressful. ;)

I tried this, but I don't have enough Tractor Beams to make it work to my liking, and probably won't until Veterans.

Borrow them and then crush your enemies. See them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women. It is best in life.

But keep the toilet seat down... and fly casual.

Remind yourself that ultimately you're playing this game to enjoy it.

If you lose first round, then you get to club baby seals all day.

If you lose all your games that's fine, it's practice for more local events.

Bring something you have experience with.

Be calm. Again, you're playing this game to enjoy it.

Disregard your opponents opinion, deny them missed triggers as hard as you possibly can. You don't owe them a pass for their own mistakes.

Don't feel bad, you could be deciding on an Armada list, and put one of every ship in your list and still have points left over..... #firstworldproblems

Eh, the meta was better after the fo and t70 hit but before the rest released. For all that the stresshog and tlts shaped the meta, scouts have done far more to contract the range of usable lists than they ever did.

I get it!
