Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Also, I'd already read the X-Wing article when I made my above High-Ground statement.

I don't expect it today.

But I am supremely confident that we'll get something in the near future.

Soon™

Look, if you're going to bring Blizzard into this, I'm just going to have to rustle up @Mikael Hasselstein to declare you a part of the rebel alliance, and a traitor. So you can be taken away.

@dominosfleet is part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take him away!

What were we talking about?

Apparently suggesting that "soon" was a vague response was unacceptable :P. Lol their twitter response may as well have been "Soon™" cubed though.

"They're def coming...eventually...maybe....signs point to yes...ask again later...concentrate and ask again"

"are you just shaking an 8 ball and putting in what it tells you?"

"My sources say no"

FFG Twitter:

It makes me wonder, with all the backlash I have seen them take on Twitter over the last few days, if there is actually some sort of discussion behind the scenes about it all - or if they are simply brushing it off. I am, of course, hoping for SOME level of damage control to be implemented this week, even if it is nothing but the Profundity article with a quick note saying that it'll be delayed past the original expected date. The fact that their Twitter account has actually been responding to people, even if it is still just with nigh-meaningless non-answers, does seem to show that they are QUITE well aware of the PR issue they have built for themselves - it now just remains to be seen if they plan to actually DO anything about it.

I want to be optimistic here, I really do - FFG have shown that they can be excellent at community engagement, and they really do seem to care about the wonderful games they produce. I just want some of that love to filter over to us.

Ultimately I just try not to care/take it too seriously. They're a company i mostly enjoy(some of their rulings are still silly, I'm looking at you XI-7's/advanced shield projectors) that makes a product that i do really have fun with, trying just hard enough to make some money via a child they don't really seem to like. my life doesn't change dramatically based on when they release new product and my only real frustration with the lack of attention is that I'd like to have SOME idea of what's coming, even at the basest level. I literally will make 0 plans around it until the ships out, it's just nice to have an idea where the game is going.

You have played too much Mafia :D

For today: an L5R article and three articles regarding X-Wing System Open Series.

Well, an FAQ just dropped for LoTR:TCG.

Perhaps that will inspire a general FAQ-feeling at HQ and things will move on for us towards that goal!

.... Look, I'm trying here.

The LotR FAQ has a link to a rules question form that I've never seen linked before (it's not on the Armada or X-Wing FAQs):

Thank you for reading the new FAQ and playing our game! If you ever have rules questions, please contact our design team through the Rules Question Form, and we will be happy to answer you with an email.

Its the standard form that's always existed. Its just rarely linked. Here, its mostly linked by me in the Rules Forum itself, when I suggest that if people want something answered, they ask - and they tell me they don't know how.

It used to be more prominently promoted. at one time, you could go to a rules page which first told you to check the rules forums of your game for answers before sending a message in, but that seems to have switched in the past 2 years as well.

This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursday’s.

In general I can say the answer is 42.

Rebellions, hope, building, etc.

I expect nothing, yet I imagine at the end of the day I will still be disappointed.

FAQ and Wave 7 preview today!

(I mean it might happen right? Aren't they running out of X-Wing, Destiny and Legion **** to talk about?)

RWM got like 30* preview articles between their developer QA and release. Legion's only gotten announcement articles for the core set / wave 1.
*potentially exaggerated
