Hastatior 1,444 Posted March 16, 2016 Is it just me or is anyone else dissappointed that "WAVE" 3 is about as weighty as a booster rather than a full wave? Is it possible that FFG is afraid Armada is too pricey to get into and keep up with? Are they getting cold feet? Or is this just a taste of Wave 3? I mean, I need my Prack right? 2 Stasy and Green Knight reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eggzavier 1,689 Posted March 16, 2016 No. We've been freaking out about no news for a while. At this point a release is a release. Especially since this release stands to significantly change the meta.I'd wait for doom and gloom until after Adepticon and other events where more reveals may occur. 3 Hrathen, CaribbeanNinja and n815e reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vyrago 1,051 Posted March 16, 2016 Yes. I get what FFG is doing. They want me to buy Rebellion, X-wing Wave 8 and Imperials Veterans and the Imperial Assault Bespin expansion. And I will. I'll also play Armada a lot less as a result. 3 Stasy, loki_tbc and SWO Daddy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truthiness 5,428 Posted March 16, 2016 Not at all here. I think a nice cheap wave is perfectly fine. I care more about what it will do to the game (and it sounds like this will be a huge shake up yet again). If they can get it to us relatively fast (early Q3 is July), I will be ecstatic. The bomber command center alone has me drooling. 11 Formynder4, Ghost Dancer, MunGo0600 and 8 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikael Hasselstein 6,896 Posted March 16, 2016 Yes. I get what FFG is doing. They want me to buy Rebellion, X-wing Wave 8 and Imperials Veterans and the Imperial Assault Bespin expansion. And I will. Same here. Well, except for the Imperial Assault, or any of the Rebel stuff from Wave 8 (though that Ghost looks pretty awesome). I'll also play Armada a lot less as a result. Nope, I'm still good on playing Armada. 1 coastcityo reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,573 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm rather happy with this. This means I don't have to sell something to afford a Wave. Getting Waves in entirety has cost me more than money. This means I can run on my commission painting business and be happy with it. The only thing I'm disappointed is, these are pre-painted as they are Ships... If they weren't, I'd be able to add another Tier to my business... But alas. I'll just repaint my own on negotiation 2 Hastatior and CaribbeanNinja reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ficklegreendice 34,359 Posted March 16, 2016 depends on the expac price these seem like things you'll want multiples of, if only because they pop like soap bubbles (and bloat the # of activations you have by crazy) 1 JgzMan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Jr. 114 Posted March 16, 2016 I love it. Now I actually have a chance to play the game thoroughly before even more new stuff comes out. I would really like Armada to have small waves, with lots of time in between. *Braces for shitstorm* 8 JgzMan, Eggzavier, Sir Orrin and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanorDM 11,599 Posted March 16, 2016 A little disappointed if this is all of wave 3. But that doesn't mean anything really. People were convinced that the lack of an Imperial Epic ship meant that Epic X-Wing was dead, but the truth was it just took them a long time to get something approved by LFL. They may have more they were working on for Wave 3 but ran into issues with LFL approving something. You have to keep in mind that FFG can't just make anything they want, everything has to be approved by LFL first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blail Blerg 7,335 Posted March 16, 2016 Nope. AWESOME. These things are gonna wreck face. And make squadrons like... required in mass. Which I don't like, but it does promote difficult gameplay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatRobHuman 1,785 Posted March 16, 2016 As mentioned in the other thread, check out the product codes. The flotillas are SWM18 and SWM19 - we still don't have SWM16 or SWM17. There are at least two more products out there that are unaccounted for. While this is a great teaser, and I'm excited to play them, we haven't seen everything for wave three yet, methinks. 6 mazz0, Kahadras, Hastatior and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chriscook 86 Posted March 16, 2016 This will shake up the meta for sure! Hummm do I need to take out your tiny command ship that is letting double tap bwings or go after yavaris. This will be fun! 1 Muelmuel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralThrawn 1,090 Posted March 16, 2016 Yes. At first. But if you think about it FFG is being really smart. Instead of getting ahead of themselves there taking the time to do Armada right, at a more sustainable pace. Compared to how x wing does their releases, smaller waves would be much better. That way we get new additions in small doses, and hopefully closer to their original projected release date. Plus all of our wallets can survive. I'm sure they will release more for wave 8, but I like the new structure idea. 3 Formynder4, Muelmuel and Amraam01 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMDMadCow 49 Posted March 16, 2016 Nope, excited, elated, ecstatic even. I bet we get a few more ships in the wave and theyre spacing out releases. 1 mikemcmann reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stasy 2,487 Posted March 16, 2016 If this is it, and we're waiting for the 3rd quarter (let's be real, it won't be here before November) it's pretty lame. But I'm really doubting they'd limit a wave to two $19.99 msrp ships. 2 Hastatior and vyrago reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hastatior 1,444 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I love it. Now I actually have a chance to play the game thoroughly before even more new stuff comes out. I would really like Armada to have small waves, with lots of time in between. *Braces for shitstorm* No I'd like this too except for the lots of time in between.. as long as they were regular and balanced I'd like that much better than 1 huge wave every 6 months.

I'm sure they will release more for wave 8, but I like the new structure idea. Makes perfect sense. Knowing that there are players that play multiple FFG Star Wars games. Throttling the releases seems the best way to ensure they all sell. In many ways, FFG competes with itself. 3 Muelmuel, AdmiralThrawn and JgzMan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reiryc 619 Posted March 16, 2016 I think this is fine for wave 3. I also believe that wave 4 won't be too far down the road either and wave 4 will probably contain more flotillas and a couple ships. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbo81 38 Posted March 16, 2016 not disappointed, just that when i think about rebel transport and gazanti clas ships i was hoping for a fighter base not a small ship base Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
