Meta Morpher 2- First Taste of Wave 9

By Kdubb, in X-Wing

Hey all!

I am again running the Meta Morpher tournament on Vassal, which looks to give players a taste of the new ships and upgrades in a competitive tournament as soon as possible! Sign ups are open through August 9th. It will follow FFG tournament rules for swiss rounds and cut, but the twist is that players bring 2 lists, one of which must have Wave 9 components, and the other which may be constructed however the player wishes.

Check it out for yourself if you are interested!

*Sad trombone*

So when are we actually going to see the new stuff in stores? Anyone at FFG at Gencon saying/hoping/guessing/making-stuff-up.

Current consensus is the last week of September.

That sounds like a pretty solid assumption. Interesting that Heroes of the Resistance was revealed before Wave 9, but Wave 9 is in players hands first at Gencon. Wonder if they will be released around the same time?

Hopefully they delayed heroes to give ps 9 Poe a new pilot ability

Why?

We already have the old one :P

I agree it is pretty dull that they did that. But they seem to have wanted to stick to the "same faction, same ability" thing, even if the only change is the guy gets a 2 point adaptability that doesn't fill his Elite slot.

Sweet! Already got a few sign ups. Excited to see what everyone brings!

I think end of September is pretty hopeful right now. It was noted as on the boat July 22, so that would be about 2 months. It may be here and ready to roll by then, but I think it'd be the fastest Wave ever if that were the case. *It will probably still be the fastest Wave between announcement and release, maybe, since it was announced in June.

August 9th? Dude, I'm still at Gencon then!

Really? Shoot! I can extend it for sure. I thought most players would be back by Sunday evening.

I was going to suggest that, or that they may want more than a couple days to get things in.

Ya I'm still considering it. I want to get it started as soon as possible before excitement dies down, but I also want to give every player who wants to join a chance to do so.

Should be fun. I'm looking forward to exploding many Fenn Rau's.

With the announcement of Wave 10, don't forget how excited you all are to try out Wave 9! :lol:

One more day for sign ups! This is the first opportunity to try out Wave 9 in a competitive tournament! Don't miss out!

I would, but I just played my first Vassal game yesterday. Im guessing my slowness would frustrate players :P

Well if you stick with it, when Wave 10 drops, you can be set and ready for that Meta Morpher tournament!

So you're expecting Han and Chewie to be exact reprints of their existing versions? ;)

Same SUBfaction, same ability. Does that work? :P
