Star Wars Fans ruin X-Wing not FFG!

By Tritus De, in X-Wing

TCW was hit or miss. There was some good stuff no doubt, but some absolute stinkers too.

The droid brigade?

The planet where a dislodged manhole cover was causing planet wide earthquakes?

I wish I could un-watch those episodes.

Earlier I said they had made everything that I wanted for the game(sans more huge ships). I'd like to revise that statement, as there are some CARDS I still want very much:

  • Obi-Wan
  • Yoda
  • Tyderium title for Lambda shuttle

And beyond that, I suppose the only other thing I want, and this is a big one, is a new format for the game : Atmospheric battles. Ground units, cloud cars, AT-ATs.... turrets......... pure ecstasy!

However, did you know about the ignore function? Seems like you identified the users that get on your nerves pretty well, blocking them could increase your enjoyment of the forum.

I meant what is this ignore function and how do you do it.

Sounds dumb anyway, but I thought I'd try it. On Tritus.

Go to the drop down box with your username and select "manage ignore prefs". Start typing a username you want to ignore and it should pop them up for you to select. The rest is pretty intuitive :)

Great! Thanks. Hopefully I'll never need to use it :)

haha As I was reading this, my mind I confused ecstasy with etsy, I was thinking Shapeways is better for turrets.

They have turrets?

Sorry for not reading the past six pages, I would just like to react to the original post...

So you are trying to tell me that If I am not buying a model because I don't like it, I ruin the game? I don't like ARC-170 so I don't care what he brings to the game. I will not buy it and I am free to tell you or anyone in the respective topic. It's not because I hate Prequel trilogy, I kind of like it but I just don't like the ship and I don't want it in my collection. That makes me Star Wars Fan/Hater?! I hate whining as much as you do but that is exactly what you are doing here. Whining because everything isn't just like you want it to be.

Sorry, I just had to.

Yeah, it's so weird how some people can care about more than just the pure mechanics of a game, right?

tbh im not a starwars super geek. I like majority of the ship designs and the action in the movies/shows is cool but the plot and consistency of said plot can go rot in hell. Its so **** dull and predictable. Great action though!

More of a startrek fan, but alas startrek games suck balls lol. Starwars games are usually decent or pretty good for the most part.

Atmospheric battles would call for different dials as well I guess?

Use the mousewheel, scroll right past the offending comment. Works everytime!

Really? You're going to use "Works every time" and not post this with it?

Yeah you heard me. I've read so much negativity in the short time I've been a member of this forum it is clear that something needs to be done.

Now there are those who clearly are not just moaning and whining because they've nothing better to do with their time. Some have genuine reasons for disliking certain things and wanting to see fixes and such. Unfortunately, even these intelligently composed topics start suffering the seemingly inevitable blather of those who likely inspired the phase: haters gonna hate

For me, nothing exemplifies the sheer scathing hatred of allegedly Star Wars fans than the reaction to the ARC-170. Handsome ship. Some good stats and cards. But instantly it was cast aside by many, coincidentally by many Star Wars fans who hate the Star Wars prequel movies. This came across in their unwillingness to even discuss the pros and cons of the ship in a list.

This is a Tabletop Miniature Game. It is a new Tabletop Miniature for the game. Yet instantly that is ignored in the scramble to whine about prequel ships. Any who dare to hope for N1 or Jedi Starfighter are treated like retards for even mentioning it. Some do discuss what it might bring to the game , and I have no beef with those who think it wouldn't add anything new. But to go on a I hate the prequels, I hate Jar Jar Binks, I hate George Lucas, Disney suck rampage when discussing a potential future miniature and it's merits, or lack thereof, is frankly juvenile.

I'm not going to name names, but I have even witnessed somebody contradicting themselves. If I were to collect a number of their posts together, you'd actually think they were having a schizophrenic argument with themselves. Perhaps I've encountered my first troll who gets their kicks out of arguing and hating just for the thrill of annoying other people. But not all the negativity here can be blamed on schizophrenic trolls.

Unfortunately, the constant barrage of negativity means I've not read topics which I was initially interested in. Rather than even glance past the hate posts, I just move on to another topic. Sadly this has resulted in more time spent off-topic since I can at least enjoy the Three Word Story and the vitally important issue of is bacon overpowered . Wanting to unwind during and after a stressful day, I've found this community has the opposite effect. I often leave more stressed than when I arrive.

But this isn't limited to here though. Everywhere I look Star Wars fans hate Star Wars. Moan and whine about Star Wars. Treat those who don't hate Star Wars as if they're moronic turds. STAR WARS FAN will one day, and I fear that day will come soon, if not already, be used by the dictionary to describe the meaning of the word: oxymoron

So it is with a heavy heart that I retreat from the forum and take a temporary respite from X-Wing and Armada. The hatred of many "Star Wars fans" is the reason for this. Not just here but wherever I go for gaming. It's just all anger, moaning and belittling of the few who are happy.

Like I said in the title: Star Wars fans ruin X-Wing not FFG!

To all the negativoes and haters out there: YOU are ruining X-Wing!

Fantasy Flight Games have created awesome games with equally awesome models and I have no complaints. I still intend playing games on the side, and will visit the site for news about releases. Unfortunately, the days of me participating in the forum or gaming with other "fans" are over.

Thank you:

and those few. Those happy few. Those band of brothers. Whose intelligence and humour made my time here enjoyable. If we ever encounter each other in the real world, first round of drinks is on me and I'll break out the X-Wing models for a game or two. Or more :)

Keep up the great work FFG!

Gotta let the fuzzywookie win!

I'm not sure if I should be honored or scared. ??? I've noticed where I live only about 20% of X-Wing players use the forum. The other 80% just play to have fun. So I've noticed most of the people playing the game is going in a good direction. Just have fun and fly casual. Remember. We are all geeks. Geeks love to debate their favorite things.

Clone Wars and Rebels are TV series and Rogue 1 has yet to be released?

I'm not sure what you movies you mean?

I'm sorry, I got lost after hearing that bacon is overpowered ... but is it as op as orange bases?

Bacon is never overpowered. In fact I'm having some for breakfast real soon. (Like in 10 min) ^_^

Don't disrespect my Star Wars! I'm the biggest fan, Star Wars will never die!

Wow.

It's a game and a fictional story

I always think if this sort of thing has to get people so upset that it stresses you out more, I suggest getting outside and enjoy the real world.

In other words get a life.

More of a startrek fan, but alas startrek games suck balls lol.

I think your playing Attack Wing wrong.

Keep 'em in your pants in future.

Welcome to the internet, brace yourself.

Games Workshop rebooted Warhammer.

Age of Sigmar was announced and one "fan" burnt his collection.

Yet Games Workshop gets less hate from its fans than Star Wars. That ain't right!

This is a lie. No one hates the game they play like Warhammer players (40K or WHFB). Nobody.

I stopped buying stuff for X-Wing when I saw the tractor beam rules.

Now they release a wave that has fixes for ships released earlier. Then they announce a wave to fix the ships and/or cards that they just released.

FFG is undermining this game just fine by themselves.

Yeah, all those Tractor Beams we see really ruin the game...

Wait which wave is releasing fixes for earlier waves?

Heroes and Vets aren't part of the normal "wave" structure and nothing in the spoiled ARC pack contains fixes to previous ships

It contains perhaps THE worst upgrade ffg has made in a long time and VTs, which just provides some options for adding maneuverability to ships which didn't have it before

Don't bother, that guy doesn't talk any sense and only occasionaly comes here to troll the forum with his "great insights".
