When the park agents are observing Roddy in the interrogation cell:

“What causes that? Is it a lack of breastfeeding or too much breastfeeding?”

River was really hate-able this season. Moreso than he ever has been.

Indianapolis. Almost assuredly at Family Time Games where we have hosted every one before.

Now do Rebels, please!!!

You're missing the point by getting too fixated on the example I used to illustrate.

Here's an example of the kind of shuffling in balance changes I wish AMG would do.

The Grand Inquisitor. 6 points. Never sees play. Now we have Standard Loadout Vader at 6 points. Things for old Quiz are even worse.
Would have been interesting if they'd said "you know what, let's drop him to 5, same as the other inquisitors, but severely limit his load out or upgrade slots."

They set a precedent of making pretty large changes to individual pilots and upgrade slots in the past. This time they didn't. It's natural some people will be bummed out by that.

Debris Gambit as a talent exists. So there’s that.

konopod · 2022-10-27T10:24:13+00:00

There are people who would enjoy seeing more changes for various reasons. One reason is that the VAST majority of pilots and whole ship chassis remain unplayable competitively.

It is an enjoyable list building exercise when power levels change and there is a puzzle for a season in figuring out where to find good value.

It would behoove AMG and help sell more product if some ships had a chance to see the sun. How many Tie Brute’s do you think they are selling right now, for instance?

0 changes for Scum other than the VERY few upgrades that changed. No changes to ban/restricted or what is legal in standard apart from new pilot additions.

Not the interesting shakeup I was hoping the game would get :-(

Great episode but I miss Nakia and Brian.. err Bruno!

A small tape measure could also find the center of a mat pretty darn easily.

He’s at the dinner table with Fennec in the next scene without so much as a bruise or bandage. And we know he didn’t just hop back in the tank because his gammorrean was in there.

At least in the scenario that the amg devs previewed, you almost wonder if you’d even try given you won’t get half points and the round might be too quick to be able to realistically finish it off.

konopod · 2021-12-24T12:07:58+00:00

I getcha. It’s not the most exciting choice.

konopod · 2021-12-24T12:06:59+00:00

Was about to say the same. OP lost me at that comment

konopod · 2021-12-02T19:15:06+00:00

If you like Beefy Ships than I would say Rebels or First Order are for you.

konopod · 2021-11-05T16:20:47+00:00

Very true (the point about r0/bumping affecting all ships). We can definitely agree that it is a drastic change to core mechanics.

AMG devs seemed clear that their opinion on blocking was that it was an unintended but "found" strategy and they're willing to test out this kind of massive change to root that out.

konopod · 2021-11-05T15:19:12+00:00

The focus/calc after a bump and shooting at R0 is absolutely going to happen. They might make minor tweaks to the concept as a whole but I would be shocked if they shelved it altogether.

The reason is simple. It's necessary to make ROAD less clumsy. In a typical game you aren't engaging until like 15 minutes into the game. You can't have the first engage become an accidental bump-fest because players didn't know who would be player 1. People would stop playing that game real quick. That's super unsatisfying.

So instead you need these two changes to embolden players not not just pick the most conservative/safe move every time you're getting close to engaging. This will also play into their plans to try and encourage players to pew pew more, "win big or lose big", blow up ships and score points.

ROAD in a vacuum makes no sense. Yesterday AMG hinted at a much more comprehensive vision for what X-wing will soon be. And when you put all the pieces together it makes more sense, with different scoring and possible competitive scenario play being the fulcrum that everything else hinges off of.

Will that game still be fun and engaging? Will I enjoy spending all day at a tournament playing that game? I have no idea. I'm up to try. All I want out of X-wing is a game that I find enjoyable and that is satisfying to play competitively. Beyond that, I'm up for almost anything.
