Hype the Hyperspace Report (the Final Day): "Prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark!"

the point is, before that I was in no hurry to get an article (although I am a die hard SSD fan). Now, I am thoroughly pissed off. But FFG knows that the worst thing I could do, namely stop playing, wont happen. So why should they care at all?

I agree to a point. at some point players will see the attention going else where and might get bored (generally the younger crowd). I will stick around still.

I'm sure that there are a lot of non-x-wing folks in that audience that changed their travel plans in order to be there for that "announcement". I hope they all at least get a free core set for x-wing 2.0.

a misleading announcement if I ever saw one.

Why have a Star Wars gaming news conference and have only a announcements for 1 of ... 10(?) Star Wars games? Pointless. FFG never fails to let fans down. Maybe this was the "Big" Armada announcement? Sigh.
Armada?
Rebellion?
Legion?
Countless card games......?
Destiny?
Star wars RPG?

Except I guess technically not.

the Hyperspace Report will lead attendees through a Q&A style presentation about Fantasy Flight Games's upcoming Star Wars products and release schedule!

If we take that RAW then this means they're not planning to release any more products at the moment... but I'm guessing the RAI is that this was just some of the upcoming products.

Quote

we'll follow up Tuesday's panel with a more in-depth look at some of these upcoming products on Wednesday's stream.

Maybe more stuff tomorrow... but doesn't look like it. Oh well...

sure its technically correct. they are not stupid. but who here for a min thought it was gonna go like that.

It was purposefully misleading to gain max crowd.

And so unnecessary. I played in XWing from the start but got out around wave 6 because I didn't like the direction of the game. If they'd just said this event was a big XWing announcement, I'd have paid attention to it. I don't see a reason to mislead players of FFG games, and yet they did it anyway.

FFG, Month's ago: "Something BIG is coming"

FFG Today: "We replaced Armada with X-wing 2e! That's big, right?!?"

Oh, and I think they purposefully left Epic out of 2e because they don't want people to play it anymore. Just say'n......

They just said a few minutes ago they " havent forgotten about it and want people to play it...stay tuned"

Suck it FFG. ;)

I'm sorry, is that similar to "Something BIG is coming"? I mean, I'm a little burnt on the "Trust Us" Fuckery going around from FFG.

You forgot Imperial Assault, although with Legion I am sure it is going the way of the LCG> :(

The worst part about this is that now, instead of spending my afternoon not working while chatting with you fine folks about Armada news, I'm just spending my afternoon not working while I seethe with rage.

On my first monitor I have the story board I am sorta working on, then over on #2 I have the FFG forums open to rage. Monitor number 2 is getting most of my time. Just Eric sitting behind me today, so maybe its OK but RAGEEEEEE.

So I've been poking my head in to the FFG site every other day or more to see if there is anything newswise for armada. Saw the xwing 2.0 and my initial reaction was "wow, let's tweak this game a bit sell a repainted model with movable sfoils. And if they don't bit they will have to buy the conversion kits anyway."

That rubs me the wrong way. I'm glad I got out of xwing.

but it seems like a lot of people are excited about it, so IDK,aybe I'm just lame.

Is there any chance they will announce something on Fridays finals?

It's a superior way to adjust any point-scaling game. It sucks that it took them so long to jump to doing it this way. The models been there for some time. I own almost 2 of everything Armada and wouldn't mind moving to a digital points system. Heck you wouldn't need to "replace" the cards either just include packs of sticker to cover the points in every new expansion.

At this point I fully expect FFG to wait 3-6 weeks before dropping an Armada announcement on some Random Friday.

Don’t be. It’s happened before, and it’s not your fault.

He works for them.
