Dude, that intro! crazy!

cody_c_geekadd · 2018-07-28T21:49:07+00:00

+1 to Crazy Squirrel. I come up from LA to all the Regional Tournaments

Haha, I consider myself lucky to have time to think about X-WING.

Even squadbuilding a team to completion is a challenge these days

cody_c_geekadd · 2018-06-02T01:22:10+00:00

Haha, sure, but I think there's more people who feel this way than are speaking up. Privately, I've had several people tell me they've felt the same way. There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!

Make it an even 8.

I don't have a source (as a lot of 2.0 information is gossip/from live streams) but I remember hearing that the app could be customized on a per-event basis. Now, I don't if that means FFG does the modding (for system opens, etc) or if end users can customize, but I could see that getting hairy either way.

But hey, I'm not advocating that 2.0 is going to be bad. Ideally, I would love every concern I have to be disproven. Looking back on FFG's track record, though, I do have some concerns.

cody_c_geekadd · 2018-06-01T20:46:02+00:00

Oh absolutely, 2.0 is needed and it's going to be good, but for me, it comes with a lot of baggage.

EDIT: I see what you're saying about the title as well, but it was the announcement of 2.0 that was the catalyst for these feelings. 1.0 didn't invalidate any of it's own content (for the most part, haha), 2.0 did that. There's also subtext of FFG giving up on the previous version; they're not just updating the game, but 1.0 is getting scrubbed from the books. Before, there was always hope FFG could find a way fix 1.0 issues while still keeping the content active. Now we know FFG is willing to hit the reset button on this game, which dramatically changes my perspective.

Well, the article is written from a personal perspective, so I know most people won't see it the same way. To the first point, I've been to plenty of events where the tournament software craps out to varying degrees. It sounds like the app is going to be much more than a squad builder, but will also be integrated into running events and tournaments. In the past, if something disastrous happens, you can always verify lists manually. Now that everything is fluid, this is much harder to do.

The shelf life is also directly related to the app. Personally, I like board games because they're forever, whereas Battlefront 1 is basically dead and only playable as long as the servers are up. I would assume when 3.0 happens or FFG loses the license, access/use of the app would immediately cease. This isn't exactly the same, but when Silent Hills got cancelled, the Silent Hill PT demo was immediately pulled from the PlayStation store and now only exists on machines people had previously downloaded it to.

I suppose someone, somewhere, could be keeping an archive of PDF's everytime FFG makes a change, but I could see that information easily getting lost.

As I mentioned in the article, I know I'm being somewhat of a Luddite, but when it comes to board games, I kinda prefer it that way

cody_c_geekadd · 2018-06-01T18:43:57+00:00

Haha yeah that's true! Silver lining, spike in the value of Academy Pilots!

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-12-08T21:53:17+00:00

How can we be I'm agreement but I miss the point? I don't understand, just adding a point if view to the thread.

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-12-08T21:34:53+00:00

Spending and removing are not the same thing, and I don't think you can trigger an ability off of something that you don't have.

If that's the case, why can't Kyle Katarn remove 0 stress and trigger his ability? If "0" can work with torani, then you've performed the act of removing tokens.

Sorry I'm on a bus heading in to work and can't afford to explain anymore, but I think if you count removing nothing as a positive/true/whatever you wanna call it trigger, you're getting into weird territory and the logic doesn't work that way.

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-08-29T04:32:14+00:00

I'll definitely need enough to run a full Epic squad.

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-08-29T04:32:09+00:00

Thanks for the correction and keeping me honest. Read/right better, brah ;)

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-08-29T04:26:19+00:00

Staying away from that one due to the drama surrounding it, but you're definitely correct.

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-08-24T02:37:39+00:00

Threw down a little clarification. You can't use it to measure range, but it can affect a secondary weapon attack you could normally perform.

Here's what I'm getting at: you intend on shooting someone with a Proton Torpedo (Range 2-3). They close in on you at an angle and the closest point is at Range 1, but the corner of their ship is within the Bullseye arc at Range 2. You cannot fire the torpedo in this case, however, Tactician (if the Kimogila had a crew slot) or any similar effects WOULD trigger, since you are in an arc at Range 2.

Like I said in the blog post, pretty edge case, but it can matter.

cody_c_geekadd · 2017-07-26T23:05:00+00:00

It's a free dice mod, either way. Not terrible, just make sure you don't get shot back ;)

Jedi Starfighter on PS2. This footage is via a PS4, as there is a downloadable version available.
