We want the X-Wing FAQ now!!

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing

So every other game that doesn't make FFG the cash this cow does is getting erratas, rules modifications, and clarifications. Let's make sure the obviously overworked designers don't miss the main thing while trying to boost the minor things. Repairing the consistent OP that is destroying the core of the game is not rocket science. The answers they need are all within this board, great ideas from great players, fantastic proposals from intelligent users and lovers of our beautiful game. Let's make the original design matter again!

Please, let's bump this thread!

Thanks.

.....now, where's my tea?

Why? So we enjoy the game for an entire week. People will just start complaining again about a different build.

I've always heard people say this game is a major cash cow, but how do we know that?

Because it's the internet; no proof required for random statements. Now stop being so pernickity about stuff like evidence.

That is a report as of March 2018. If they aren't making money while holding the #1 sales spot for a long time, they really have a screwed up business model.

Edit: Spring 2018 report should be available in July.

Hm! What! Bump a thread to incur an errata? Vain hope with no evidence it will help anything to actually happen? Ok!

*Oicunn style BUMP*

So if you did a Bo Shek bump, would you be trying to derail the thread?

Correct me if I'm wrong; but is that not only from independent stores? So it doesn't take into account internet sales?

It also accounts for information from manufacturers as well as distributors.

If you haven't flown a bumpmaster with EMP Device, you really should try it out.

As long as the new complaints are about piloting an arc-locked ship, we'll all live. It'll probably be complains about squads with 5 Saw X-Wings, yessssss!

Facing new problems is not a reason to ignore current problems. Bring on the Nerf, FFG. I, for one, welcome our post-Miranda/TLT nerf Arc-locked Overlords.

will anyone really complain if T65's become top of the food chain?

The first time they destroy Dash, yes probably.

X-Wings winning in X-Wing? Blasphemy!

Asmodee North America, actually, which owns FFG.

But if they had their own airlines, they could then offer discounted flights to Worlds, maybe.

Funny, I've seen Dash wiped out by T-65's on a number of occassions*

*usually when I try and fly Dash

I love how Dash is considered wholesome... even though his pilot ability is "ignore all the basic game rules"

Any small base that destroys dash half as quickly as dash destroys other small bases typically causes rage about how the damage output of x ship is to **** high.

Shameless bump.

Citation needed. Dash is a dumpster fire and just about nails the point where the trajectory of this game headed toward the toilet. TLT just pushed it a little further down the pipe and reinforce is going at it with a plunger.

I think you actually agree with the poster you are quoting.
