-AMG = +Freedom? We've always had the freedom to play the Ruleset we like. There's still 1.0 groups. 2.0 grpups. 2.5 as as well amalgamations of the 3. So that's no new boon. What worries me about an X-Wing 'Community Edition'... ok, the old Necromunda Community Edition was a bloat of trying to please everyone. & not just the de facto Community Leaders. Plus it was directly competing with Yaktribe's Ruleset. & a great many just continued to play with their original Rulebooks. So X-Wing will factionalize, 'cause it already is. Trying to Kum Ba Yah it all is a nice thought, but in my opinion & experience, leads nowhere. X-Wing needs a reset to the last stable Ruleset. Figure that out & let the other groups continue to play their fav edition. There's simply no way to satisfy 3 disparate groups.

How is ST: Into the Unknowns price tag of $150 for 6 ships a good deal compared to the msrps of X-Wing &/or Armada? If AMG announced that kinda pricing structure... I'm not happy with AMGs antics, for sure. But putting up ST:ItU as proof that AMG lied about the affordability of pre-painted X-Wing & Armada ships seems way off.
@HairyNick11 күн бұрын
There's been a lot of "hey, but look at THIS product that is being produced at a reasonable cost" talk over the last few weeks. I mean, ultimately we can't know for sure what the numbers look like, but the reasonable conclusion seems to be that blaming price is a deflection.
@Blaster__CA11 күн бұрын
@@HairyNick I get that, just not as regards ST:ItU. The game looks awesomeness but not for $150msrp. My point is, imagine if AMG had gone the way of a $150 starter set? So yeah, its not applicable to the 'Truth to AMGs Fiction', in my opinion.
@HairyNick11 күн бұрын
@@Blaster__CA That's fair. But I would also like to point out that there wasn't really ever a back and forth conversation about price at any point. It's hard to accept that there really WAS a meaningful consideration around this point or even the thought of trying to get creative about manufactuing options or ways to obfuscate costs like making the game bare plastic. Given the very high cost per model of their plastic on sprue games (which aren't even sold as single models, apart from a couple of Legion units) I worry that AMG relies too heavily on a overblown profit margain to keep their model afloat. At the end of the day, this is all speculation. The problem isn't really "hey this other thing exists why can't you do that?". It's more the fact that we've had such poor communication, so when we get reasoning presented to us that isn't AMG taking responsibility, it rings hollow.

@@HairyNick There's never a back & forth about prices, tho. I'm not defending AMG. They suck. I wasn't excited about the change over when it happened. It just seemed like a typical randomly & poorly thought out 'I know,, AMG does all the minis games!'. & that was just stupid. Like I said I just don't see the price comparison to ST:ItU as a fair point. & I don't see anything else being offered up as 'Truth to AMGs lie'. Covid messed things up. The global shipping crisis is huge, too. I can very well just see AMG putting all their eggs into the MCP & Shatterpoint baskets, as a result of it all. At the same time, they never seemed to be operating X-Wing in any kinda good faith. They always seemed like it was foisted on 'em & not a game they actually wanted to produce. & that reeeaaally sucks!

If there was (and I realise there isn't) a way that people could play with the minis they own, across all editions, then that would be a win. Maybe it would need a unified, printable set of generic base cards, upgrades etc. Any serious attempt to keep the game alive must include the widest section of the community, which is inevitably those who own 1st ed. And I mean include in the sense of the minis, the ruleset can be 2.0/2.5, but it's the cards and base variances that 1st ed owners don't have and won't want or be able to buy.

I see no reason why the X-wing Alliance can't be a steward for multiple formats with the different rules editions, and both with ones frozen in time and ones that continue to try to refine and evolve them. Beyond saying that their word isn't gospel and people can just do what they want, there doesn't have to be this false ultimatum between people that just want to play with their 1.0 components and 2018 FFG points lists and those that want to see a '2.75' that tries to walk back AMG's worse ideas and revisit the ones that had promise but poor execution. There's room for community OP with both. Hell, bring HotAC into the fold while we're at it.

@@LeeHobbies yup. Great thing about not having to follow the rules of a manufacturer is no longer needing official components. We are now in a situation where we could very easily incorporate any mini into any ruleset with no cost to the player. The dials is the most challenging aspect, but list building is super easy. Up to date obstacles and tokens can be bought 3rd party, but they arent necessary to build any particular list. So, actually, there very much is a realistic path to include players with 1.0 collections.
Hi Nick, we want te thank you for all the content and intrestring points of view you have given us throughout these years. It was truly a highligt of the day to watch them all. It is us who should express our appriciation for you. No matter if you make a lot of video's or none at all, we are happy if you are. Take care and wishing you all the best.
I want to know how the Chess community is going to move forward - I heard they stopped supporting it a century ago.
Queen busted. plz nerf, devs.
I see no reason why the X-wing Alliance can't be a steward for multiple formats with the different rules editions, and both with ones frozen in time and ones that continue to try to refine and evolve them. Beyond saying that their word isn't gospel and people can just do what they want, there doesn't have to be this false ultimatum between people that just want to play with their 1.0 components and 2018 FFG points lists and those that want to see a '2.75' that tries to walk back AMG's worse ideas and revisit the ones that had promise but poor execution. There's room for community OP with both. Hell, bring HotAC into the fold while we're at it.
Im sure this game will live on and thrive. Warmaster is still played a lot with new rules updates still being developed by the community.
"Discord is the way this fails" promotes his discord at the begining of the video, what a flip flop!
Yeah I thought about that in editing.... I still think it's the pithiest way of phrasing it, just unfortunate in context lol.
