Imperial veterans....remember that one rumor about a veterans exp. That never happened?

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

First off, what the h are they doing FFG? "Hey lets announce stuffs that won't be in store yet". Brilliant. Customers buys it - NOT.

2nd, I'm getting tired of all these delays that I might quit playing this game and sell all my collection. Because FFG don't deliver.

3rd What will I do if I loose a dial? There are no extras in stores. H no for buying a extra expansion to get a dial. Same with base and pegs. FFG customer service is just bad - specially when closest service is in U.S and you live in Europe... Yeah and I lack 2 dials to 2 Ties...

FFG get your **** together and stop acting like EA.

Seriously? No .. seriously?

You will throw down the towel just because your toys come a few weeks or months later than anticipated?

I hope you're active on Nerf and Lego sites too. They're announcing products all the time that aren't in stores. Heck, outside Nth America we sometimes never see them.

FFG doesn't give 2 turds if you lose your dials. How is your lack of care their responsibility? Let's keep this in perspective hey!? We're talking about little toys that a luxury item.

The reason Gunboats won't be a thing because they do not bring anything new to the Imperial faction or the game. Look at Wave 9. Fang is Scum arc dodger. ARC and TIE/sf bring rear arcs to small bases. Shadow caster brings mobile arcs. Gunboat... Nothing new that the punisher or bomber don't already do

I swear if one more person mentions the gunboat - even if it's a forum in-joke - I'm going to go rouge

DAMMIT! I meant rogue!

Gunboats could be a cheap cannon carrier for the Empire.

Yea...this kind of stuff makes me appreciate how games workshop does things...

hell no what gw does irritates me. Absolutely no warning that something major is about to drop and radically change things.

I wouldnt mind if it was strictly adding things like FFG does or minor nerfs such as the cloak nerf. But GW does complete game overhauls with 0 warning, often completely invalidating most of your army even on a casual level.

I have so many models between orks/tau that i will never use again, even though i love those models, purely because they are so bad its auto-lose to bring them unless the dice gods REALLY love you.

This is much like imperial aces, which got lots of hoopla, only to be overshadowed by the following wave.

Your face must be pretty red after a mistake like that!

I think they should add a status after On the Boat: In the Warehouse*

*next to the Ark of the Covenant

Gaming companies can't win. Another company I know got big time complaints about missed store dates, whether it was their fault or not. So they started a new policy - don't release any news of future products until they were nearly in stores when delays would be few and small. Great, right?

Well, new complaints fly in at them now because "it's the end of the world" and no new products are being released ever! Tell us something, oh holy line developers! Actually, some of the same people who complained on the forums for that game before were the same that complained about the new policy.

The stores will have the ships when it's time. In the meantime, my wallet recovers from the last wave and I'll be in a better position to celebrate new plastic.

As a certain Jedi once said... "He will learn patience."

Or not...

But...Patience is for people who can wait.

As for your post, good points. I was hoping to use the long delay in releases to let my wallet recover. But, then a few stores had some great sales, and I ended up spending money on duplicates.

FFG get your **** together and stop acting like EA.

This has to be some of the most pointless, illogical and simply pure BS things I've read in awhile. This is the message board equivalent of a monkey flinging crap at the window.

That will not get the monkey shot though.

i actually have no intentions to get two imp vets. Running 3 defenders doesnt appeal to me and 4 bombers would be more of a lawlsy list not a legit list (which wouldnt need 2 vets anyway, just 1 more normal kit. Nothing in there thats amazing for bombers unless you want a shuttle)

I don't like flying spam lists and I don't have, except TIE L/n, more that four of any ship and most are 2 only. But I like to have enough for Epic play so 4 bombers are a good fit. Now I'll have an extra for a shuttle. That is five in total but that's okay for this ship.

I try to limit ships to four, as I said, so I do have a few extras since Aces came out. I don't keep them or the cards in my kit. I have considered adding one more A-Wing to max out at 5; again for Epic reasons, it seems like a good number. I never, ever thought I'd get this many ships.

I've read a lot of these posts and one thing I don't think was mentioned is FFG trying to move product around to cover some of what was lost in Germany. It's entirely possible that there's only one warehouse for distribution throughout the European Union and they (FFG) is trying to make sure that all their dealers get some product even if it's not the full order. So have some patience and quityourbitchin.

What happened in Germany?

All the German x wing stuff was lost in a flood because the warehouse they were stored in was a sinner.

Well, that could explain alot.

Why the hell can't they just come out and say that then.

You can't do anything about a flood, fire, tornado, etc.

Think the community would lay off them if they just kept us informed.

Standard corporate PR: Say nothing unless it's good, or it's a scandal. If you do say something, the bad news will spread fifty times as far as if you'd never mentioned it at all.

*flashbacks to the great Imperial Aces 'delay' of yor* NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo....

Screw the Germans, I want my Veterans!

I heard that assassins from GW snuck in and flooded the warehouse. Conspiracy.

It's entirely possible that there's only one warehouse for distribution throughout the European Union

That would be higly unlikely as the German distributor distributes in German and is a different distributor than Esdevium, who take care of the UK, and yet another different distributor than Bergsala Enigma who handle the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands. France, Spain, Italy, Belgium Hungary, Bulgaria, they all have their own distributor. And then there are a smattering of others.

And this:

944688_1193422717348257_8334913553958092

Is not enough to cover all of Europe.

A similar thing happened with Imperial Aces, remember? Everyone Pre-ordered the hell out of it. Orders late by months. Couldn't find it in stores without it flying off the shelf in a matter of minutes.

Lovely. It is a global release, but USA are the primary market for this game so we all have to wait regardless if there is a flood or if the entire local release is waiting in a store.

Patience is a virtue, but frankly I am rather annoyed to check this

only to see the Veterans are calmly waiting for the world release date since... mid May.
