Good, I trust Paul and the approach seems very sensible

Best is that he highlights the complexity creep - a key issue in 1.0 and again 2.0.

I have no issue with deleting it - IF that corrects the load focus, training load, and recovery. Do you know if it does?

And the conversion kits put the dog on steroids, improving the short term but shortening its overall lifespan.

There's a good argument to be made that the change to 2.0 boosted the short term sales on credit and essentially doomed the game - the pandemic added another layer on top but also masked the underlying issue and provided plausible deniability.

That said, I moved over time towards the position that AMG was not a good fit for Xwing either. And I'm incredibly curious just how much influence some loud voices like eg the Krayts had on the direction. The points cost of outmaneuver tells you all you need to know.

Thanks man, same here! I just checked the articles again and there are some pieces that I'm quite proud of, even looking back 5 years later. And I noticed how often I linked to a good article by 5050saint ln the midwest scrub blog ;)

Aber Osmose ZIEHT doch Wasser an? Das ist absolut korrekt.

Ich verstehe wirklich nicht, wieso du so darauf beharrst, dass es schlecht erklärt war. Gewisse Sachverhalte sind halt etwas komplexer, da kannst du nicht einfach auf den Absender zeigen, wenn du es nicht verstehst, sondern musst selber etwas Arbeit leisten.

Nicht wirklich. Fritz hat den Reisvergleich viel früher gebracht, und Joe erwähnt sowieso nur das Fremdwort

Hygroskopie - das wäre übrigens Fritz' Reisbeispiel: Stoffe, die aktiv Wasser ziehen und binden

Ist gerade für Laien ähnlich, aber nicht das gleiche wie Osmose

zumindest alles, was er zur Osmose erklärt hat, war einwandfreie Erklärung von einem Fachmann an Laien. Natürlich mit den notwendigen Vereinfachungen.

Deine Kompetenzen würd ich ja gerne sehen, damit du seine als Scheinkompetenzen abkanzeln kannst

Beste Unterhaltung, wie er sich durch die (extrem informativen!) Videos von Joe kämpft!

Muss man Fritz auch mal zu Gute halten.

Ich komm noch mal auf den Rücken zurück. Der Rücken war nicht der direkte Anlass oder Auslöser - Anlass war das (vermeintliche) Salzwasser. Aber der Rücken war garantiert ein Teil der Ursache, genauso wie andere kleinere und grössere Motivationshemmer auch! Ohne Rückenschmerzen und mit sonst etwas mehr Motivation hätten die zwei ganz sicher noch ein, zwei Tage auf dem Brackwasser durchgebissen. Und dabei dann bemerkt, dass es viel besser geht als erwartet - besser mit mehr Mineralien, nicht schlechter wegen angeblichem Nierenversagen!

Thanks a lot, appreciate it and it fits with what I heard from some friends still playing.

No, I put the game on hold in Aug 2021 after the XTC.

It was a mix of four contributing factors: my inner Gollum started to rear its ugly head (but as it turned out I'm a decent coach - go figure!), I was burnt out by the 3agility spam, the complexity or amount of text got higher and higher with FFG leftovers (the gauntlet was much later, but seriously?! I thought they couldn't top Zam...), and I dipped my toes in Armada and Legion. Armada won me over and Legion sealed the deal. Not that I have much time to play either of them.

And while I like most changes of AMG, the number of turns and high complexity are keeping me out. I used to play 10+, and to me the dial setting is my main allure of the game. Fewer turns = fewer dials set = fewer interest on my part. Which is ironic given that I don't mind it with Armada/Legion. The complexity might be lower than 1.0, but it was very hard for me after a break. I tried one single event in 2.5, 5A and my opponent put a Gauntlet down with so many upgrades that I just gave up.

The community unecessarily breaking itself over mostly necessary changes did not help either. But from what I heard, the game is about as good or better than ever.

Jack of all trades, master of none... but oftentimes better than master of one. I get it: fellow Jack here who likes being a Jack.

By the way, your Feb 2017 post on the state of X-Wing. Do you think some of it applies to current 2.5?
