FSD 694 Posted September 30, 2016 If FFG stays true to form, we should hopefully see a preview today. Since the Heroes and Imperials from the big box have been spoiled, that leaves us with the Ally/Villain packs. Which one are you most excited to get more info about? Which one do you think we will actually get? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1bert 3,722 Posted September 30, 2016 I want my Dewback Rider. 4 neosmagus, Masterchiefspiff, DerBaer and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neosmagus 565 Posted September 30, 2016 It'll probably be Luke. Though I am eager to see what they announce with both Jabba and Captain Terro. They might even announce some new standalone packs - there's often announcement or previews mixed in with the other preview articles... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majushi 840 Posted September 30, 2016 Our options are; Luke Jabba Rangers Dewback/Terro My guess is Terro Did I forget anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masterchiefspiff 746 Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) It is weird they didn't mention who was up next. They usually do. As far as how much each ally/villain pack has to actually be new spoilers: Jabba has a skirmish upgrade I want to see Luke does as well (and hopefully a force user command card) But I really want to see the dewbacks so we can know what those elites look like and maybe a creature command card! So I'm hoping dewbacks next But even more than that I want to see them updated to on the boat because I'm getting a little worried about that not being the case yet.

neosmagus 565 Posted September 30, 2016 But even more than that I want to see them updated to on the boat because I'm getting a little worried about that not being the case yet. Return to Hoth was only on the boat in November, so its still much earlier than last year. If they announce it on the boat middle of October, it will be released beginning of December...

DerBaer 1,154 Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Jabba has a skirmish upgrade I want to see Luke does as well (and hopefully a force user command card) I'd predict Luke's missing Command Card is Son of Skywalker.+1 for Dewback!

buckero0 1,093 Posted September 30, 2016 December? I don't think I can wait that long. I'd rather we have something every week til it releases (4 weeks away, I'm wishing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1bert 3,722 Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Jabba's Realm is not even marked as being on the boat yet, and from that it's 6-8 weeks to the warehouse and 1-2 weeks until available locally. Unless, of course, FFG is now updating the Upcoming page information intentionally in a delayed fashion. So, it is completely possible that we need to wait for next week for the next preview. (You can't benefit from Murphy's law so the above may not have any effect...) Edited September 30, 2016 by a1bert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Destiny went "On The Boat" yesterday so I'm crossing fingers it will be leaving the Far East next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masterchiefspiff 746 Posted September 30, 2016 It's looking a lot like they aren't going to announce anything for IA today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoodieDM 318 Posted October 1, 2016 I think Jabba's Realm will try to be out before Black Friday/Cyber Monday. ~D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickv2002 665 Posted October 1, 2016 It's looking a lot like they aren't going to announce anything for IA today They've shown the cards for most of the figures. Non-Terro Dewback and maybe some skirmish upgrades are most of what's left on the Skirmish side. Gotta save some stuff for shipping announcements and it's not on the boat yet!

lowercaseM 199 Posted October 1, 2016 So serous question: if they wanted to do an equivalent in IA, how would they theme it?

A super being that holds you in pocket dimension until you complete the tasks he has for you doesn't work so well in an SF setting It could be a series of linked objectives in a wartime setting - it just picks a planet, and you're on that for the whole 2 hours. You could still change things up by going into bases, climbing mountains etc. to change the scenery and enemies. Or maybe the short playtime outlet for Imperial Assault is Skirmish mode (which I'm pretty sure you can't do in Descent?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Wars isn't science faction, it's fantasy in space. Science fantasy but fair enough. But apart that, the question holds anyway as the scenario wouldn't fit the star wars universe.That aside, I've been looking at the road to legend app, and it does this neat thing where between each story mission you have a number of in game weeks until the next story mission and you can spend it how you choose. Going on a side quest and going to town for supplies both take a week. So you could theoretically take 3 missions before the next story mission to load up on xp and gold - at the cost of having crap equipment for the next mission - or go to town and buy equipment and hang out there until you get good equipment drops. Pretty cool mechanism honestly. Edited October 2, 2016 by lowercaseM 4 ryanjamal, Stompburger, rbaker1978 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
