They better do. Or the dissappointment will be strong in this thread.
I am already upset at this Destiny stuff. It looks so awful - I wonder how anybody with eyesight can play that game?
1 minute ago, PastrySandwich said:They have in the past, I would be very surprised if Destiny was able to out-sell the good LCGs that FFG has created. In other words, collectibles were a great model with no alternative existed, but now that there is a better model that (potential) value has diminished. None of that is to say I think Destiny doesn't make them money, I just think they could make more money had they used the LCG model.
I'm not convinced. The comparison between the LCG and Destiny, when the buy in requirement for most players was first and foremost "a Star Wars card game", is staggeringly in favor of Destiny.
I find it really hard to believe some dice that look like they were made from the remnants of McDonald ball pits was what sold so many players on the game.

I almost said the same thing to someone. Some serious ESP stuff going on!! ;-D

Yeah but that Star Wars exterior only gets you so far (especially now, because it isn't like we are exactly hurting for decent star wars themed games). Even if someone buys in for the star wars they aren't as likely to stick around (if they have experience with the customer-friendly LCG model) because once they are in they are now dealing with the aggravation of the collection method and the (I think we can all agree) hideous style choices.
I mean... is anyone really shocked?
Still ill waiting for an FAQ...

Shocked? No. not even disappointed. Though maybe a touch sad.

I'm not mad at you, FFG.
Just disappointed.
For me personally they have just insured I'll sleep in tomorrow morning and have $30 to spend on something else. No biggie but force friday means squat to me this year.

What do you dislike about the way it looks?
Also, I love destiny. It's a fun game with great mechanics. I wish it was a LCG, but it's still a good game. However, I'm pretty salty about this. It's a great value for me players, but not worth it for me. It's a cool product, but all this hype was a bad idea.
Really, this would have only worked for a new product. The fan base for each game wanted an expansion for their game. If this was an XWing release, the destiny crowd would have been mad. Same goes for Armada and IA.
Man, I'm sorry, so many sound like entitled brats here, and elsewheres.
You all think FFG is abandoning you or Xwing because its not their Force Friday item this time. There's Guns for Hire and Wave 12 upcoming. Xwing is their highest grossing game.
Destiny is their latest big SW game (Legion coming next) thats not even a year old. This is a great time to introduce a 2 player starter.
Im sorry you didnt get your precious hidden Xwing game, but Xwing is not the only big time game, or Star Wars game for that matter, that they want to advertise and expand upon.

Yeah, honestly. Guys, this is bad form.
It's one thing to not be interested in a particular game - it's a completely different thing for people to 'excrete' on it - it smacks of self-centrism and self-indulgence.
Star Wars Destiny - so what? Others may like it (I don't have any personal interest in it.) I'm sure they'd be celebrating this announcement.
To be honest, both X-Wing and Armada had their 'Force Fridays' over the last two weeks - what with the announcement of our Lord Saviour Gunboat and Admiral Thrawn/Chimera & Raddus/MC-75 for Armada...still trying to get off the euphoria over those!
And anyway, if sales of Star Wars Destiny boom as a result - that can only mean good things for FFG and the rest of our beloved games in general, right?
Basically, sure, say you're disappointed it wasn't xyz but really, steer clear from excreting on someone else's doorstep, it's not needed.

And yet 2 years ago, X-Wing got a second Core Set.
Seriously. What was X-Wing players expecting? A third Core Set?
Force Friday is about new merchandise in link with the movie coming out. So it had to be from Episode 8. 2 years ago, it was the new X-Wing Core Set, and they announced later that both the T-70 and Tie Fo would be included in wave VIII.
So please everybody, don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll have your new Episode 8 ships with the rest of the Wave XII. For my part, I can't wait to get my hand on the Tie Silencer, but meanwhile, I have plenty of ship already to continue having fun.
As for Destiny having a 2 player starter set. They said that they intended to make a new one every year. Since it's a collectible games, nothing stays in production for too long. It was the most logical thing to release on Force Friday, even more so that I think they want to push the game on the mass market.

Decent and Resistance Transport should not be in the same sentence...

The Resistance Transport makes a decent space bus.

The Resistance Transport is not a decent ship...
New Toys Spoiler
That resistance ship from the desert planet is totally a b-wing ripoff.
A police ship that isn't a KSE
And then the most interesting thing... By the look of this playset, Snoke is exactly as tall as Mace Windu.
Hey, I'm happy that the Force Friday thing is of no interest to me; that means that I won't have any regrets over the $30 I just spent on 3D consoles, crates and doors for Imperial Assault.

Yeah, I'm still confident we get them. We've got 3 missing SKUs after all, and it's been their MO for the past two years. All this means is I don't have to stop at the FLGS on the way home from work tomorrow.
I think we can all agree that September 2nd is much welcomed..
Disappointed sure...but it can't always be about us guys...
I wanted x-wing just as bad as the next guy. but let the destiny guys have their day. We will get our fill no worry!

its kind of a play on the whole "internet troll"
but yes, thank you! I can relate to the dismay of destiny news but it will come and go. FFG won't turn its back on us. Clearly the announcement of the Gunboat is proof of that.
I own a whole lot of x-wing. destiny is pretty awesome and I'm glad they are putting this 2 player set out there.
I'm very glad this set appears to have almost all dice unique to it and only a single copy of each die and card. this is such a huge improvement over the core set starters.
