New Points lists are posted, what changed?

By joshthesheep, in X-Wing

For anyone who hasn't looked at the x wing page, the new points have been listed today, but I haven't found any major changes. Granted, I probably haven't spent enough time looking over it and don't remember a lot of the old point values.

Anyone see any exciting changes or tweaks?

Any new builds open up?

The date on the file has changed, but I don't think anything else has. The most likely things to change haven't.

File names unchanged. Might have been a backend update.

Why do they have to tease us like that?

It probably isn't meant as a tease. It could be that they uploaded the PDFs but have them set to not go live till sometime next month, and tying them to the existing link cause the displayed date updated to tick over. :)

I stand by my statement! Lol. If they are done then why wait to release them?

Because it is still Dec 2018 where they're located and they aren't planning on releasing the info till Jan 2019. This gives them a chance to test the links on their side and still make changes if they see the need.

I guess that could be right but the FFG app led me to believe they didn’t test anything ever 😂

Are there any changes?

1. File names are unchanged.

2. I read through the Scum & Villainy and the Generic Upgrades pdfs and nothing was different.

Then what was the OP saying? I thought they said points were out? I am confused.

The X-Wing Second Edition page has today's date (Dec 31 2018) for the release date of most of the PDFs in the Points section of the page even though the files haven't changed. This also happened back in Nov a bit before Wave 2 released. :)

I see no change for the Empire :(

It is because the files haven't changed. They were doing something back end and it tripped the date.

Can't wait to see that ! :)

I had a look at my original S&V points doc. There are a couple of subtle changes.

First, the doc name now says v1.1. The orginal didn’t say this.

Second, the Mining Guild Tie has been added to the document.

All point costs however remain the same.

For me it looks like an intentional update to make the docs up to date for wave 2.

That’s also why I think they didn’t promote it with an article.

That is the pdf we were able to DL just before Wave 2 released with the Hyperspace limitations in it.

when the changes come out, I am just going to wait until YASB updates it and see which of my saved lists didnt make the cut.
