The Sky Is Falling MEGATHREAD

By HammerGibbens, in X-Wing

I love a falling sky just as much as the next guy, but I hate having to open so many different threads to get to that content!

This is why I propose we have all falling sky freakouts in this thread all the time. I'll get us kicked off with a couple

Gunner Luke has ruined 2.0 already, when can I pre-order 3.0???

I can pretend that these expensive plastic spaceships are real, you better believe I can pretend conversion kits are suddenly too expensive!!!

Okay, I'll bite:

You had to take Nera Dantels!!? YOU MONSTERS!!

The tractor Fringer is dead.

I quit.

Where has Keyan gone? What is Ten Numb hiding?

Hotshot blaster, 3 die attack in both front half and rear half, 2 charges. Because good job dodging my fire arc, but scum is the dirty trick faction.

should I just stop commenting elsewhere, and restrict myself to the confines of this thread?

No Jarjar!

DOOM!!!

once in a while you can leave but you should probably mostly live here now

If Backstabber is out, so am I! ? ? ?

That leaves room to put her in the single expansion... right?

I think she acts too much like a 360 turret, so... she got cut or may show up with a different ability.

If they don't announce the Nera Dantels Expansion soon I WALK

Ok, I'll bite.

What if that actually is Keyan, and he's wearing Ten's skin as a suit?

Maybe it's a hyper realistic mask.

**Not a political comment, just a silly example of what I'm talking about**

Holy Cow, Fantasy Fun Games!

What have you done?

360 degree Super-Luke-Falcon is literally going to roundhouse kick all other lists out of any tournament.

2.0 is DOA. Screw this game. I am out! Going to sell all my ships on ebay tomorrow.

Next Worlds final is going to be Roundhouse Luke versus Roundhouse Luke.

That's Rebel Bias to the max! People don't even know how privileged they are, if they are Rebel faction players, oppressing poor Imperials and Scum players all day long.

Shame on you!

I actually do quit, it doesn't look like a game I'll enjoy playing.

I was joking actually :)

I truly feel 2.0 is going to be awesome! I would love to start playing it today.

While there is always a degree of overreaction, taking all concerns and complaints and lumping them together with the more extreme viewpoints is quite insulting. Regardless of whether or not it will be overpowered, the Luke gunner card flies in the face of 2.0's alleged design goals and shows a worrying possibility that the design team havn't really learned anything. The fact that Rebel Fenn seems to have escaped largely unchanged is likewise potentially problematic.
Certainly, both of them (or indeed any 'problem' cards) could be priced highly enough that they arn't worth taking, but that misses the point - that the underlying design of these cards is as flawed as 1.0 and I (for one) find my confidence in the abilities of the designers is not very much improved from before the announcement, where I was already downsizing my collection and drifting away from the game.
It's still too early to say either way whether 2.0 will be good or bad, but I find myself leaning back towards the pessimistic side - and certainly I've no intention of buying a single thing until I have more information.

Alright, I'm curious; why doesn't 2.0 look like an enjoyable game?

They took away the ability to Boost and BR. I can't wait to see where everyone else goes and just put my ship where I wanted. I have to learn how to fly again.

Predator actually requires skill now to get someone in the bulls eye zone. No good!

All the uber attack value has gone down and can only modify attacks through a certain number of ways.

I'm out!

It should be both side arcs, single use.

..loving the flight instruction vids tho
