Can we please stop complaining about nerf threads

By benbaxter, in X-Wing

I know some people feel very strongly about"nerf X" threads cluttering up their page, but let's be honest, all their complaint threads do is clog up the list even more.

At least the nerf threads have an opportunity to reveal actual flaws in the game design, even if it is only like a 25% hit ratio. The complaining about nerfs threads do absolutely nothing for our community, and are almost immediately filled with trolls.

P.S. Yes I am aware that there is some irony in this post, but I think the double negative makes it not irony again... maybe?

P.S.S. Long live the gunboat thread. (and Rebels can come too.)

Nerf the Nerf Herding Nerf Threads! :P

threads complaining about nerf threads will stop when the Gunboat comes out.

So hopefully, never.

I say we spam the forum with nerf threads,

And complaining about nerf threads,

And complaining about complaining about nerf threads,

And complaining about complaining about complaining about nerf threads,

Until we get our GUNBOAT!!! ?

GUNBOAT is herding all the nerfs, so when the nerfs end, GUNBOAT will appear in all her glory.

Where is the dislike button? :P

The 3 Truths of the X-wing forums:

Nerf threads are annoying and redundant.

Reactionary complaint threads are pointless.

Having positive outlooks or constructive things to say have no place in this community.

Some of us have a vision of a pure X-wing forum, we will not stop til we get there.

So no.

Also, it sounds like we need some Korean spammers to hack FFG's system again, just to give a little perspective.

So what type of threads are acceptable to you?

The awesomeness of Horton

to TLT or not TLT: turrets for Horton

Horton ultimate torp boat

bombs on Horton? Why not?!

EPT for Horton: give the droid a break and FAQ this already

Haha, if someone can tell me that the Gun Boat is still missing from X-Wing when I only asked the time of day. I can still dislike Nerf Threads. :lol:

Actually I think, on this forum, the Nerf and Fix thread have become the main stay and has soured the discussion here a bit. Not that X-Wing can't be played casually and, I'm sure, often is. But these constant threads have pushed some of the things that make X-Wing fun aside to make from for more Neft and Fix thread.

P.S. It wouldn't be terrible if we never got the Gun Boat in X-Wing. We have some pretty awesome ships now. I know every one has their favorite, Prequel, Gun Boat, etc. but you can't please everyone. Me? I'd rather play the Punisher that get another ship with another mechanic, with another fix in the FAQ.

At least gunboat is mostly contained in a single thread. If the complaints about all the nerf/fix threads kept themselves in one thread, and just posted to others, I would be happy to withdraw my complaint thread about their complaints.

Two things:

first: Gunboat Libre!

second: I apparently have a rare and unknown skill. Presumedly honed from well over 20 years of teaching war games, hanging out on DakkaDakka, and trips to the Middle East with NGOs... if I see a forum topic I don't like... I don't click on it. :blink:

Not sure how anyone can complain of being tired of a forum topic type... no one's making you click on it or read it

Apparently you don't have one of these FFG agents standing over you with a gun pointed to your head like the rest of us.

I should probably start a complaint thread about that.

Oh him? That's what he's supposed to be doing? I wondered. He's been going through all my West End SW stuff. Poor guy. Just figured out how much of the Legends and Canon stuff is derived from those old books

I think I broke him

also: Gunboats Libre! (My manually typed in sig for time immemorial)

Asking the internet not to complain is like asking a river to walk instead of run.

Queue up some scrub's complaint about how the complainers who complain about people who complain are suppressing their right to complain.

Have we hit inception yet?

No, but you're a hair's breath away from a "Yo Dawg" meme...
