Seriously. If I hear about one more "(blah blah blah) is a Negative Play Experience" I am going to lose it.

People using NPE is a NPE for me :P

It gets worse the longer you're on the forum. Think how the guys feel that have been around since its inception.

Take a deep breath and relax.

Of course, nobody will be 100% happy with all elements of the game. There will always be things that are slightly better or just not a good option for competetive play. But on the one side, all the "plz nerf" threads do keep us thinking and keep the discussion about the game's welbeing going. But then again, all the whining... Now that is a NPE!

Other than the x-wing

Just shows how little reading comprehension people have if they think it's about nerfs.

Ladies and Gents, we have the new Joe Boss Red whatevernumberheis.

Gasp! :o

People sharing their opinions and thoughts on a public online forum???!

It's almost like it's being used exactly as intended!

This... ITS ABOUT NPE PEOPLE. WAKE UP. Xwing is a dying game, and the only way we can fix it is a complete overhaul of the system man. Lets get back to that wave 1 meta.

True, my reading comprehension skills are fairly poor. But, perhaps you could tell me what they are about if I am mistaken?

That's not the problem. You've been playing long enough to see the cycle of wave release, meta change, complain, nerf request and repeat. Everybody has a favorite ship or build they think should be just a little bit better than it currently is or faces a build that is a little too strong for what they are flying and that ship or build needs nerfed. Look at some of the current ideas.

Title for the Tie

Swarm leader on smal ship only.

Torpedo attack with no defensive roll.

The list goes on and on and on.

The lack of patience with the designers is kind of mind numbing. As someone pointed out the designers are working 12-18 months out. The number of players far exceeds the number of play testers and op combos are bound to slip through. That's reality. Have some faith that the game will change and anything that is really OP will get changed.

Granted there are certain ships that I don't agree with their stat line. Large based ships that have agility equal to or better than a small based fighter doesn't make a lot of sense. The number of shields on a huge ship are just two of the things that causes head scratching but I deal with it.

Why do you say it's dying?

Just shows how much entitlement people have that they think they're not talking about nerfs. And that people who disagree have poor reading comprehension.

I totally didn't catch that. Sarcasm clearly needs a nerf.

FFG won't do the nerf you need - not a problem for me - I use alternative rules!

"Yes, my gchips allow the bombers to modify all the dice." ...... "No, it is not on the card or that errata you pulled up, but everyone knows it is a real rule."

I first used this at the Bolling Green Massacre Memorial Tourney; it worked like a charm! ?

There's a lot of players who sucks at this game. That's the brutal truth.

And they aren't humble enought to say "hey, maybe I can learn how to beat it/bear this situation, without hope to a nerf."

This literally can't be stated enough

I agree and I'm one of those that suck at it but I don't call for nerfs. I do wish the X-wing was a little more effective but the reality of boosting it without turning it into another ship altogether is going to be very difficult.

Agreed.

I don't know why folk always jump to augmenting ships. The 65 needs to be inferior to the 70. Balance issues? Just mod the cost of various pilots if FFG seeks to do anything.

Me too. I'm always ready to learn something new. Don't know why this run to call the nerfs :-/
