X-wing is a joke of game, there is more strategy in a poker game...

Yeah. It kinda sucks that X-Wing just got some love with a new wave, and now they got an entire event.

Meanwhile on the Armada Forums;

“it’s a hard knocked life for us...”

Possible Good news :

X wing Worlds is now October.

Legion Worlds is 4 Tables.

IF Armada Worlds does change, it can move out of the Raddison into FFGHQ...

In other life spheres ffg would be know as a "calientabraguetas" to put it in a non-reportable way.

Now Real Madrid vs Bayern. I hope to not be disappointed again.

We all voted on twitter a while ago. Xwing won by a country mile. Ergo its "your" the voting publics favourite product.

Though Lego star wars model werent voting options.

That just means popular.

If it wasnt for having to drop $150-250 to convert all of my stuff I would be more excited. I am on the fence and see what the locals are doing before I start upgrading.

ya, those conversion kits are pretty pants on head crazy imo considering they're going to need a starter kit too.(new damage deck). I like the idea of a second edition for X-wing, but not making any Armada announcements (the game I still actually play) kinda killed it for me.

Yeah, I am thinking I am going to just sell all my X-Wing stuff now. I have no interest in repurchasing the game when I only just got into it within the last 2 years. As for my newest investment in Armada, I am sad about this, but I am really sad for you long timers, I am still enjoying it because everything is so brand new to me, but for you guys, this is like another kick in the gut. Here's hoping for some new great news for Armada! Maybe Legion will add Prequels, I'll get into that to replace X-Wing

We are the only Star Wars miniature gamevwithout “active” news that there will be something new.

Only a promise almost 12 months old.

It's crazy to me that even Dras has hit his optimistic limit. He's been about the only person to remain 90+% positive forums while we whine away but FFG has managed to demoralize him a bit too.

Sigh, I don't even think I'm mad, just shocked and disappointed. I think I'm going to get off the forums for the rest of the day and just pretend this game doesn't exist.

I talked to one of the devs. They just couldn’t today. That’s all he would say.

Which makes sense. Why compete against your own announcement. And xwing is way bigger than us.

yup. It does make sense. The only thing that doesn't is how someone let that "Hyperspace Report" go out baiting every other SW game out there. This was a bad call.

No way 100 minimum to covert my current stuff plus the New core set

Spot on. All this does is make everyone else salty.

I’m a stay at home father of a special needs kid for 12 hours a day, as well as then working a graveyard shift.

when I stay with him, I have no computer. Only a basic smartphone with a broken wifi connection.

I can’t stream data or video.

So when I say... I did a lot and worked a lot and scrimped and saved and FOUND A WAY to be able to live stream an announcement that I thought would be... you know, a great shining piece of positivity in my depression...

... I feel hurt and betrayed.

Now, I shouldn’t. I mean, there shouldn’t have been any expectations from me, given not only the track record, but the fact that they are a business who does not have to pander directly to me... but still.

its how I feel.

I’m back in a hole.

Next time don't call it a hyperspace report. I'm not a super lore buff, but I'm pretty certain a lot of starfighters can't even go at hyperspace.

Armada ships on the other hand...

Did you ask him if anyone in that building is cognizant of how that was going to be recieved?

Agreed. I probably wouldn’t have gone. But at least I got a new xwing :)

Something big is coming...

...xwing 2.0! Now you Armada players can get back to playing Xwing so we don't have to support multiple space battle games!

Empathy for your Dras.

I have faith we will see something before the week is out.

We are at the mercy of market forces. Armada will never be the priority.

Just accept where the game is on the $$ hierarchy and adjust your expectations accordingly.

You kidding? I'm going to sell off all my existing stuff - like several others have already said, the cost of updating my collection for a game I barely play at all as it stands is just too much.

It was just a quick whisper while the panel was still going on after twitch ended. He seemed frustrated and excited. So who knows. Maybe force Friday.

You should eBay it before it’s general release... maximum bucks.

It is something to create a hype, it is something else to create false hope,

Is there any real way we can give them reason to care? I can’t boycott if they won’t make anything to buy...

Do you have a PayPal or gofund me or something?
