gredert got a reaction from n815e in Why is this company so incompetant at stocking retailers?
I would buy the new releases if anyone in Canada had some at a reasonable price, but that doesn't seem to be the case from my searches. Just because I can afford the higher rate does not mean I will pay it, that is stupid for some plastic and paper. I want to say I still get excited about this game but that would be a lie, and its all because of the poor release schedule and supply efforts (don't care if they "promised" to fix it, I have little faith in modern FFG so Ill believe it when I see it). Getting squadrons is a pain (and pack 2 is a trash option that isn't worth the money), getting new releases has become a hassle as I need to either get online as they drop or snag a preorder before they sell out, and the releases are so slow and far between that by the time they come out I only buy them because I am already committed, not because I am all excited to see them anymore, especially with all the spoilers we get ahead of time taking away any surprise.
Actually do what you said you would do and get this game in order, I should not have this much trouble buying your products, and I reiterate that I wont spend more by a large margin to get it, to buy from your store vs the ones I do business with would be at least 25% more per purchase before shipping costs and that's absurd. Especially when you factor in the cost creep of the newer waves. So before you get too deep into Clone Wars, how about you sort out the simple act of supplying the market?

gredert got a reaction from cynanbloodbane in Clone Wars core box and ship predictions
I think I am reading people right in talking about ship attack power and comparing it to Galactic War stuff. That's why I want them to release upgrade packs, sell me the ships as CW era and make them the best options so lots of dice and hull/shields, then release a pack of cards to upgrade them (more like downgrade them) to Galactic War, or where they would be roughly. So a Venator would go from powerhouse to a middling outer rim patrol ship. Its not so much less armed or armored than it was so much as it now just doesn't pack the punch of modern ships. This also allows older ships in the Galactic War like the victory to get an upgrade card that really boosts them. Everyone wins with this as we get more options more often at low cost and FFG gets to act like they handed us a release with little effort by comparison to adding new ship sets

gredert got a reaction from eliteone in Clone Wars core box and ship predictions
I am fairly excited for this game but I am also apprehensive about how it will turn out in the long run. We have had Armada for going on 5 years and there have been almost no releases for it after the first 3, and I know they promised more speed on this but the Civil War period has WAY more material to draw from for new ships. Getting 2 squadron packs will be a challenge enough, let alone a dozen or so ships per faction without getting real **** obscure. And I also think they are plain stupid if they dont design this from the start as being transferable to Armada: CW as I am calling it. They get to benefit from selling us card packs to upgrade, can move these over as either rebel or imperial ships, both in some cases and hopefully many, and its an easy way to really make a Scum faction out of almost nothing. Older ships make up the brunt of the faction, a few Rebel and Imperial ships make appearances, and then a handful of unique options come with it. But I don't really trust FFG as of late, my miniature game gets hardly any notice, my boardgames get re-released and then abandoned leaving me in the lurch for old expansions I didn't get to and holding new games that dont seem likely to be supported, and so on. We shall see I suppose

gredert got a reaction from RyonOlson in No new factions. More upgrades?
I want to see a dauntless for the rebels. Bulwark would be dumb or other supers would be dumb, I agree. I just don't get it really, this should be a no brainer as the lore is full of ships to use and essentially all the design of the models are done. Render it, make a model and mould from that, and add rules that fit the role it fills/they need it to fill. Where are the dreadnoughts to give us a ship that both sides can use? Why have we not seen a space station yet with defense capabilities like a Golan, imagine the awesome matches that would give us if it wasn't just a piece of cardboard. The issue is that each wave needs so many seperate items like admiral's and multiple titles to go with the ships, yet those could be there own releases in between. Again, the game is good but in the current market they need to keep adding stuff, look GW now vs 6 years ago. They were constantly being attacked for slow releases, high prices and so on. Now no one cares and just keep eating it up and jokingly complain about how they have no money for all the releases. Yet people buy them all and their value is way up. Meanwhile FFG got bought and now I hear asmodee is in a bad spot and may get sold. They produce a lot of stuff but don't get that if you have multiple miniature games that receive sporadic support at best it isn't going to keep people's interest. Ask Spartan Games about how it worked for them. Oh wait....

gredert got a reaction from Mad Cat in No new factions. More upgrades?
Would love small decks with set card lists like their living card games have, a mix of old but sought after cards and new ones. Great way to expand the game and give me an excuse to buy something. I literally saw a half price victory class and was like, meh. We need more stuff asap as I'm bored as **** of what we have despite loving the game still. They need to get moving on new releases, each faction needs 2 or 3 ships and a small pack each year, plus a campaign or something similar. After this wait for the SSD I dread to think of how long it will take to get something of similar size again.

gredert reacted to Ophion in Just had a terrifying idea
I.... think this I a bit of overreach.
The other thing is Imperials don't currently have much trouble killing things they can get a shot on. The problem is in an era of squadron domination, getting the shot (which can be hard enough), and then surviving to not give up so many points that it doesn't help anyway.

gredert got a reaction from jarmus mrawn in We will get Super Star Destroyers in 2018 - Prediction
Just going to toss in my own idea because why not. I accept it will come when it comes, and can wait patiently. I expect at least one more fighter wave first so at minimum a year I feel, maybe that games expo they just had, make it the big reveal next year.
Anyways 2.5x larger than a ISD, on 2 stands like the xwing epics. wide front and rear arcs plus a combined side arc that uses about half of each stand to simulate. Needs at least 20 hull. A minimum of 8 forward shield (another issue as we haven't even seen a 6 yet, have we? I expect that first also, and this thing wont have one more shield than a large ship), maybe 6 sides and 5 rear. means it can run forward and take a beating but it wont be unkillable. For dice, front 6 red, 4 blue 2 black, sides should be stronger because of sheer length and thus number of emplacements maybe 8 red, 4 blue, 3 black. Rear 3 red, 2 blue 0 black. I also think introducing a new die color could limit number of dice needed, say an epic only purple die, good at 2nd range, 2x miss sides, 3x 2 hit sides, 1x 2 accuracy, 1x 2 critical, 1x 3 hits or 2 hits 1 critical. Ship could include 4 of those dice then use them to replace some of the reds and blues. They could even just have a whole new "epic" red blue and black set only to be used with these ships. Just an idea, not sure how to balance or implement. maybe an extra long range stick like xwing (range 4 is red for these ships, 3 is blue, 2 black, and 1 is purple, this represents the improved firepower of these massive ships so their batteries have more punch at further range). Anti fighter could be one of each basic color, maybe 2 reds 1 blue.
Upgrades would have to be numerous to represent size and crew complement again, so perhaps 1 commander, officer, 2x support, 1x weapons teams, 2 turbolaser, 1 ion cannon, 1 fleet support, 1 fleet command, 1x offensive, 2x defensive and allow 2 modifications. I know 10+ possible cards before a title and admiral is insane, but if this one ship starts at upwards of 200 points, these cards easily make it 300pts. some titles could even add more slots and thus more power AND cost. These things should be beasts, but the main focus of your fleet. Special tactics should be required to take one on and win, and rebels should be trying to get fighters in close from multiple angles to force a massive splitting of fire if the SSD still only gets 2 shots. At a 600pts game, with 300+ sunk in this beast, the empire will need to devote a good portion of its 200pts to fighters so either 1 escort or less upgrades and more escorts. This means we see 4-7 rebel ships plus fighters engaging a ship that will one shot a lot of stuff up close, meaning we could have some pretty back and forth fights.
jump up to 800-1000pts and we now have a multiplayer game of 2v2 with some fairly substantial deployments and still keeping a good amount of balance but really letting the SSD stretch its legs when it comes to upgrades. mix in some special epic only ship abilities and powers like we have in xwing (energy?), and the matches will be quite unique.
Also we need Piett. He commanded a SSD. Confirmed for release.

I know 10+ possible cards before a title and admiral is insane, but if this one ship starts at upwards of 200 points, these cards easily make it 300pts. some titles could even add more slots and thus more power AND cost. These things should be beasts, but the main focus of your fleet. Special tactics should be required to take one on and win, and rebels should be trying to get fighters in close from multiple angles to force a massive splitting of fire if the SSD still only gets 2 shots. At a 600pts game, with 300+ sunk in this beast, the empire will need to devote a good portion of its 200pts to fighters so either 1 escort or less upgrades and more escorts. This means we see 4-7 rebel ships plus fighters engaging a ship that will one shot a lot of stuff up close, meaning we could have some pretty back and forth fights.
jump up to 800-1000pts and we now have a multiplayer game of 2v2 with some fairly substantial deployments and still keeping a good amount of balance but really letting the SSD stretch its legs when it comes to upgrades. mix in some special epic only ship abilities and powers like we have in xwing (energy?), and the matches will be quite unique.
Also we need Piett. He commanded a SSD. Confirmed for release.

gredert got a reaction from Darth Tam in We will get Super Star Destroyers in 2018 - Prediction
half the crew is 125000 last I checked haha. Your first idea makes the most sense and is a direct repeat of how I believe Zjinj or whatever his stupid name was stole one. Or was it Issard? Someone tried to steal one haha

Yeah I have to say that I found this earlier and lasted about 10 minutes before Grumpy McBaldenbeard turned me off. I couldnt focus on what they were doing over the tangible level of annoyance or being pissed off or whatever his problem was.
