Not the article we wanted though:

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/3/30/dark-days-for-the-galaxy/

Edit: just some meta talk. Kinda interesting but doesn't really attempt to explain why USA and Europe metas are different. Also skips right over the Miranda mirror at Hoth becoming so mind-numbing that the players went on to play Loopin Chewie instead.

But I thought Ghost and Fenn were unstoppable? How can this be?

Oh hey, look at that TIE reaper sitting in the hangar at scarif, grand moff tarkin, do I have permission to fire?

The article makes it sound like FFG isn't going to do anything about Ghosts, Sheathipedes, or Auzitucks, but they're getting ready to nerf Quickdraw. I assume that's going to create some pretty salty Imperial players.

And they referred to Quickdraw as male. Triggered.

Time for FFG to concentrate their forces to the European market !

And don't touch Quickdraw... If they nerf before tlt, sabine the salt will be powerful !

This would be... a surprise. And not a welcome one.

Quickdraw is in every Imperial list because an extra attack 1 or 2 times per game is the only way to get through all the ridiculous tanky synergy on opposing factions.

Losing QD feels like the fast-track to the dumpster for Imperials, and I'm hopeful FFG isn't THAT out of touch with their game.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it... I dunno. Just that whole part where they're like

"there were no shortage of squadrons that featured Miranda Doni, Auzituck gunships, Sheathipede-class shuttles, or the Ghost. In fact, these ships were heavily represented in even the Top 16, but they ended up mostly near the bottom of the Top 16 ..."

"...it was this First Order ace, "Quickdraw," who looked like the pilot to beat at the 2018 May World Championships. " Quickdraw" factored into all four of the Imperial squadrons that made Top 8 , even while his wingmates changed from squad to squad. Just in the Top 8, we found "Quickdraw" paired up with Darth Vader , The Inquisitor , Rear Admiral Chiraneau , and Captain Yorr in various squadrons."

It's the same vibe I got. They seemed to gloss pretty quickly over Rebel success (the most talked about Rebel pilot in that article was Rey) and focus a lot more on Quickdraw.

Not sure how one would go about nerfing Quickdraw though. Maybe just restrict his attack to the ship that shot him, like Dengar?

I wish I could give a sad react to my own posts. I really really don't want FFG to be like this, but they haven't exactly proven themselves smart about these things.

Quickdraw is massively overpowered compared to the rest of the Imperial faction, but it's not because she's actually overpowered, it's because right now, she's all the Imperials have.

Quickdraw nerf : "Once per game when you lose a token shield, you may perform a primary attack"

QuickDraw doesn’t need nerfs. The rebel crap does.

If they do this I will riot

They actually played their final? Lame.

Anyway, nerfing Quickdraw would make the game more lore accurate. The Rebels are supposed to win after all

Lowhhrick Nerf:

Once per attack, point and laugh at your opponent.

Once per round, you may spend a reinforce token and totally demoralize them.

you know, a QD errata would make me mad despite me not using her that much

you can outplay Quickdraw. Even just getting in her auxiliary arc, not even considering being able to arc-dodge her at all, sharply cuts down her effectiveness.

it'd be really sad that the only arc-locked ships that are efficient enough to throw dice at hyper-efficient turrets keep getting nerfed

They at least could have mentioned that a list with Countdown was 1 dice roll away from being in the final of the Shaumberg System Open

The least they could do is talk about the plethora of dominant top 16s and mirror match tournaments of new rebel garbage

@phild0 man, I've enjoyed so much watching you fly that striker to victory again and again. Makes me strive to be a better pilot and not so afraid of TLT's.
