Will HOTR be legal for worlds?

By Higgo, in X-Wing

We now have just over 2 weeks before the legal deadline for released content for worlds (24th October I reckon)

What do we think are the chances of heroes being released by then? Would suppliers have heard by now?

I don't think it will be out in time for world's. FFG's track record doesn't indicate any sort of release just before a major event.

it will be out in time for x-mas

I wouldn't complain if it was, but I doubt it will be.

Here's my reasoning as to why:

Wave 9 timeline.

  • On the boat 22/07/16
  • Shipping 07/09/16
  • In Store 21/09/16
  • In my greedy little hands 22/09/16

Pretty much 2 months from "On the Boat" to "In Store"

HoTR went On the Boat on 19/08/16 and there's been no change in status as yet.

While I'm pretty certain some of these indicators are largely indicative as opposed to clearly defined milestones, if HoTR was to follow the same timeline as Wave 9, that would leave very little breathing space for it to be eligible, and adding something that could shake up the playspace as much as HoTR probably will isn't something I feel FFG would want to do.

Just my £0.02

Unlikely given the time remaining and the necessary 11 days prior.

I almost always misread HotR as HotAC. Would love an official team based campaign event.
