I'm so relieved that I have no interest in buying this 😄

I can understand 😃
It is still a big shock to us all, good or bad!

this is also a matter of taste and personal opinion.
To me the apps in boardgames are a trend from the past... this apps didnt add anything interesting in boardgames beyond "setup manager" or stupid things as "enemy rolls dices"... nothing that a good board game design can make by his own.
the future in boardgames is to keeping this wonderful magic without the digital, theres the magic... Thats why i love boardgames and videgames bored me...
And yes, is a personal opinion of course, but this is FFG (not sure anymore) and i grow with the best ameritrash designs in history, this hobby is amazing... i dont want app only driven games, not only in my shelves, i dont wantit in the marker.
 
 

this happens when a company disconnect with the audience totally....
very bad art and design
poor concept
app mandatory driven - this is a videogame with toys?
the game lenght didnt respond to the modern era
expensive as ****
zero original
and they call it the "definitive" dungeon crawler?
 
i mean... comeon.... everything is bad with this ¿"game"?
 
 
and im not a troll... i spend this last days hyped as **** with this announcement...

I entirely agree with you.
I had the same problem with video games, so i can relate. I do tend to play video games less and less, replaced with board gaming time which i enjoy and get immersed into more.
Still, i never really felt like the use of an app like Road To Legend removed any of the magical feel into the game; i feel like it enhanced, or even brought a new interesting approach to it. The same magic i felt as a teenager while playing Advanced D&D (1st Ed) by myself with my own boundless imagination, the excitement of discovery after you tap a door and the app tells you to setup this tile and that tile, with this many monster and terrain features, plus a potential special event. Paper and cardboard can't come up with that except with some random card mechanic and thick adventure books who keep piling up as new expansions get released - though i admit,  i'd perfectly fine with that too. I did collect everything from Descent 1st and 2nd Ed and i DO enjoy the adventure books, cards and even the older, overly complex, brought out of the bat Road To Legend campaign system from 1st Ed with just too much stuff to keep track of! I am neither pro nor anti app driven games, as long as it is well integrated into the game, which seems to also be the case with Descent:LotD.
They obviously appear to have put a lot of effort into the development of this app and, from what i've heard in their recent Twitch stream, there will be good amount of side quests too! Plenty of things to do outside the main quest line, as they said. Also apparently, you'll have the ability to interact with 3D terrain, such as climbing trees, or topple a stone column on a monsters, or use it as a bridge over a gap!
Why not?
There are types of games, or mechanics which i don't enjoy such as card drafting or semi-coop games; Still, i accept them being on the market. You not enjoying it doesn't mean others don't.

good luck with your setup with all that ugly cardboard around the table...

totally agree... today awesome miniatures is something normal to see... im not buying toys, im not buying videogames... this is stupid. All the game mechanics are based in the app companion.... stupip setup time,bad art and graphic design.... overpriced.... all bad guys

"we push the boundaries, app, app, app, and 3d components"
 
wow... seriosly?

THE APP IS TOTALLY MANDATORY TO PLAY.
the more i see, the more my hype feel sad
 

I hope theres staff of FFG reading this  topic right now

...App companion..... 😞

The BIG BOX they tease time ago looks great!! what happens then???
