Poll Results: Player Starting Factions

By Wazat, in X-Wing

On the X-Wing Wiki we've run a poll for the last 40 days (Sept 4th - Oct 14th), and 146 people voted. It's past time to switch polls, so I decided to collect the results and share them for those interested.

I should mention: this poll is not scientific. It's limited not only to people visiting the wiki, but to those who decided to engage in the poll. That's a small and potentially very slanted sample, and it limits the usefulness of the results somewhat. I'm sharing this cuz it's cool, not because it's right. :) Also there's nothing magical about 40 days; it would have been just a month but I forgot to check on it until now. Bleh.

At least for the early release of the new edition, are you playing one faction, two, or all three?

Results:

Rebel Only 11
Empire Only 21
Scum Only 19
Rebel + Empire 33
Rebel + Scum 2
Empire + Scum 6
Core Set only 4
All 3 Factions 50
Single-Faction Combined 51
Dual-Faction Combined 41

Single-Faction Combined and Dual-Faction Combined were not in the poll: those are results from those categories combined together for comparison's sake.

I also have lots of pretentious charts, in case that gets anyone else hard. ? The secret to selling low-veracity data is to visualize it! 1512749161_SecondEditionFactionPoll.thumb.png.638d330ba6ec287f24374c9e9fe3ee03.png

I would have voted in this poll if I had seen it, and I go to that page about once a week. :.

Ditto.

It's on the front page, but you have to page down about 3 times to see it. I suspect it sneaks by a lot of people. :(

I think there is one other element that is missing, something that will come into greater effect next wave, and that is do players play more extended or 2nd edition ?

Wave 2 is going to be a big one because of the current faction releases (which have brought up many questions but is just fine for my alt fiction), and that is the new expansions for 1st Order and Resistance. Those that play Resistance will gravitate to 2.0 edition while those that play 1st Order will stick to extended because they only have 1 selection for 2nd ed.
