X-Wing article up early.

am I being paranoid in wondering if Armada Wave 7 was put on the back burner so all 5 new X-Wing expansions would release at the same time?

I dont think its even on the back burner, more like its in the slow cooker.

To keep this game flowing they really should go to a 3 release / year schedule. 2/year isn't cutting it, especially with their delays. and quite frankly, repurposing an existing model isn't as exciting to me as something fresh, new and shiny.

Yeah, but some of us can't keep up with releases even as it is. Moving to 3 a year would be too much, I think. If they had more articles and didn't delay the two releases would be perfect.

Well, another X-Wing article.

I totally did not predict that. I predicted completely the opposite, to be frank...

... So hey, perhaps that does mean we might have an article at any moment over the weekend...

Obviously it means a Runewars article.

I was pretty laid back with how FFG handled wave 7 articles, but this is getting ridiculous.

With 2 ships per wave, a 6 month cycle would be pretty smooth. Plenty of time to adapt to the new material and save up for the next wave. 3 waves a year would not be cool though as it would be a bit overwhelming for some players. The slower release of Armada is a big plus compared to the shotgun effect of X-wing.

However, the delays and lack of articles is the part that drags. X-wing gets articles besides the wave based articles to fill the gaps. Armada honestly needs that too. Interesting builds. Interesting combinations of ships and upgrades. Interviews with tourney winners. Turn by turn breakdowns of matches from tournaments. All of that stuff would give us something to talk about besides the lack of articles, plus would help people learn about the game. Oh, and give us the impression they give a **** about armada lol.

This is the first time in a while that I am actually bummed by how they are treating the game. It definitely looks like we are back to a couple people wearing to many hats and things falling through the cracks because of it. Namely this game. Won't lie I'm looking forward to legion having plenty of support since it is Alex's baby, cause 2+ years of this has been kinda tiresome when solutions are available and abundant.

Too many hats, not enough for us filthy Armada peasants.

You must be mistaken. For a second there, I thought you were suggesting FFG work at the weekend.

I can bring up times where we've got Saturday Articles if you'd like Proof.

Heck, even last weekend, we got Facebook Notifications for Articles over the Weekend.

Plus, its Worlds this Weekend for Non-SW Games.

They are there.

Working.

At Worlds.

yeah, but no articles per se previewing new products. These are 2 different things.

We have gotten them on Saturdays before.

They are rare, but not unheard of.

If you consider it hope, then basically, the other option is to give into despair.

You do that.

I'll do this.

only sith deals in absolute.

Y'all just need to be patient.

Or find a play tester and make them tell you everything. Leak all the content and force FFG to drop articles.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment

I think noting our issues is healthy. It's not like @Tirion was suggesting that the game was broken beyond repair or threatened worse towards FFG.

I thought you built Rebellions on hope. Hope and shots of Tequila (if you tell me that the Rebellion's plan of "go attack a planet" wasn't founded on a night of intense drinking, buddy, we're not looking at the same Rebellion here)
