lucky you!

It made me so sad to scroll through some of the cards, especially TIEv1.

So the big five:

Mindlink: two per list.

Advanced SLAM: Only actions on the action bar, so no upgrade based actions (example; Vectored Thrusters adds Barrel roll to the action bar, so can be used with ASLAM, but cards like action bombs and Rage can't be triggered).

Jumpmaster Itself: torp slots and salvaged astromech slots gone.

Biggs: His ability happens once per game rather than for every shot.

Genius: Now doesn't work if ionized, or if it bumps. Also requires the bomb to be discarded, meaning using Bomblet generator with Genius would lose you infinite bombs.

Which is nicely elucidated in the article, plus the rationale for all the changes, @Celestial Lizards.

Fair, but Lizard asked.

I love that it's only called "Upcoming X-Wing FAQ" on the Support section right now...

That's because it doesn't take effect until the 6th.

But things will get shaken up for sure and we will see some pretty nasty new lists.

I still will miss the jumpmaster 5000 expansion as it basically has been now completely and utterly been nerfed to death. But hey, I got a good year worth of fun out of my mindlink protectorates AND I only switched to them because Imperial Aces was dead. So I guess, it is finally party time again.

Yeah, I have faith that y'all will be able to break the game again in a new and unexpected way.

The JM5K can join the Phantom on the shelf of ships that are "aren't banned because we want to make sure all components are playable." Heh.

I think this paved the way for the long awaited and fabled T-65 fix whatever it may be.

Until this is a reality and not a pipe dream it has still taken a ship off the table.

Questions is, how you all guys feel now who bought triple Jumpmasters?

Probably not as bad as people who bought Raider for Palpatine...

I think the Biggs nerf is a bit too much. He already was avoidable by selecting a different weapon. Now that he's "once per game", he should have been back to being unavoidable for that turn, at the very least.

Palpatine nerf was a bit too much. As it was justified By "opening up Imperial squad design", this will do the same thing to Rebels.

It is the right thing to do.

Is it possible they will nerf this nerf? Perhaps they posted it before it takes effect to get the pulse of the people.

Actually that would be almost pretty equal loss money-wise! Although I still don't think Palpatine was not modified that badly!

I was probably one of those who saw this coming before I invested my money in three JM5Ks.. Lesson to be learned here, don't buy anything extensively if it seems to be too good to be true!

Except you still have three ships you can use in a game, where the Raider is for Epic.

Well at first Palpatine wasn´t a thing, so it hardly seemed too good to be true. And it was over by the time he was nerfed. And he was nerfed to death.

The article currently States the GM 5K is still strong in the wake of its eight health. Math is not their strong suit

Hey I just won a FFG tournament with a Palp Shuttle and Two Punishers. Palp is still good, just has to be used defensively now to keep bombs from killing your team.

You missed the time-sensitive joke. When they posted it originally today, the "Upcoming" FAQ had an Effective Date of July 24th, 2017.

But thanks for playing!

Yeah, but it´s very hard to win with them. I mean, somebody wins the lottery too, right?

I think it was nerfed to be for skillful players. It is still strong card, now you need to predict, before just use when it is convenient.

ooh, citrako cloaking device is now broken as well! Swaping out the cloak disables it

Now that there will be plenty of secondhand jumpmasters for sale, I'm willing to buy two of them (miniature, dial, cardboard and pilot cards) for up to 10 dollars so that I can play quadruple scouts with adaptability, vizago and guidance chips

You mean overpriced for what he does? You have to have a ride for him too.

Anyway, nobody can´t complain about the nerfs as everybody has been hit. I sill think that the Imperials took the biggest hits with Defenders and Palpatine.
