The stagnation is totally killing my motivation to play this game

By Blail Blerg, in X-Wing

Between getting very busy and no FAQ, I'm not seeing any reason at all for why I want to play.

Lack of imperial competitive options. No errata.

Nothing new to learn, no new challenges. List building is stagnant, all my best options are Scum again.

The game is an utter mess. Its far past time to fix it.

I only have limited time for anything at all, and right now, theres little reasons to spend it on Xwing.

I have a post just for you.... Skip to the "if you're not enjoying xwing" part

Send me your stuff if you’re done with the game. Send me a pm.

Well, take a break from competitive play if the meta is bleah. The problem is not necessarily X-Wing, it is the competitive tournament meta right now. If all you want is the competitive side of things, then yeah... the game isn't going to be as fun... just like it wasn't in the past when it was 2 ship meta turret wing all the time. Which is why at that time I set to countering the meta... came up with a good list that works well now. The key of it being Torkil Mux, and Palob. Toss in either Kath Scarlette or Asajj as the heavy tank, and it gives 2 - 3 ship builds difficulties. If things move back to 4 or more ship builds... it will be put back in the box. But for the last year every competitive tournament I take it too, it throws the opponent for a loop as they aren't used to running against it. It can be beaten, but it takes most of the current meta strengths and turns it into weakness during the combat phase.

Maybe you start doing something else instead of making annoying demotivational threads like this one or this one week ago:

Guns for Hire comes out in a week, Wave 12 (Gunboat!) in the next month or two and Wave 13 a month or two later. That's a lot of meta disruption in the next 3 months, with some very nice new imperial toys. If you can't get behind playing casual or HotAC or Epic or Missions or Cart racing or anything other than competitive tournaments, then waiting might be your only option. But if you stop playing tournaments and try any of the other cool things you can do with x-wing, you might have some fun waiting for all the new releases.

And seriously, try building an imperial list with TIE Aggressors and/or TIE Strikers. They can be a ton of fun to fly and can give even meta lists trouble.

I'm sure you posted a similar topic a week ago... oh wait, you did:

Blail Blerg? More like Wail Blerg, am I right?

No Donny. He's a nihilist.

Fixed that for you.

Legend of the Five Rings is awesome! play that till x wing is "fixed"

Dude this is seriously the Xth time you posted the same thing in X amount of weeks. Go play a different game, go visit a national park, take your SO out on a fancy dinner date, there is more to life than x-wing.

Brother, if you do not like it just quit, stop complaining. Plenty of food in flavortown. No reason to spoil someone else's meal.

Nothing new to learn, and lack of imperial competitive options?

Sounds like those 2 things solve each other, learn to play with imperial competitivly.

"There is no new challenges, also one of the factions feels to challenging for me."

Maybe the problem is your unbelievable crappy attitude?

Don't rely on FFG to provide you the reason to play. Try something different. An Ace mirror match for example. Same ship, pilot and build on half a map.

Go for a nice head-clearing walk, and remember that soon the GUNBOAT will ease your troubles.

^^ This. For many the game sucked during Fat Han, for others Palp Aces and still others TLT Y-Wing. You're always going to dislike something. I personally think the meta is better than it was during Palp Aces. The QQ is getting to be an issue with the game, not the meta. Something will always be good and something bad, its a game. If there were no good options or only good options, it would be Tic-Tac-Toe.

Why KylocrewRac is so unpopular? It's the best combination for the Imperial and pretty competitive right now.

Palpatine gafe up his ability to alter rolls after ze fact. He zought ve vould get better ships. Its not fair!

I've been having the same problem. I played Dengar Nym back at the end of July and it was easy and .... not really fun to play but so very effective.

The game has taken a nose dive with broken synergies.
When I wanted to play "something else" I was met with Miranda Nym lists that were no fun to play against either, so my only option is going back to "whats effective" sigh~

BUT!



We're starting our 3rd season of Epic league play locally, 18 players this time (20 last time) and I won it with Imperials, so there's that at least ;P

I really recommend epic play - everyone plays what they want and it really reduces the efficiency of broken ships at 100 pts. Plus Harpoon missiles making their entrance soon for Huge Ships to shoot too? :D or to shoot onto Huge ships! >:D

And we only have one rule for the league this season (apart from having fun of course!): Your list MUST include at least 2 epic points (so a Gozanti or Croc or transport in every list unless you build around a corvette or raider too, they're really awesome x: )

Edited by Kalandros

So you must have tried every ship, every pilot; odd combinations of EPT and crew that aren't meta-heavy? Tried ships and upgrades that have been disregarded by the meta to its own fault? Flown every scenario?

That's awesome, I wish I had time to blaze through EVERY conceivable creative combination and outlet for gameplay in 11+ waves.

If you're bored with the game; just admit it, that's fine. Play something else for a few waves then come back and see if your interest is reignited. No harm, no foul.

This is like listening to a retiree **** about being bored when there is a world full of books, movies, locations, foods, etc...

@Blail Blerg I'd recommend trying one of the campaigns in the epic ship. Either that or HotAC. Even if you have done HotAC before, you can go with a different type of ship/pilot and it's a different experience.

For the others, I'm surprised at the negative reactions to his post. I see he's edited it, but I don't see anything where he's really putting the game down too much. He's saying he's not interested in the game. I see it as him wanting suggestions to have fun with the game. Those that are just bashing him are part of the toxic parts of this forum that makes it a terrible place.
