Drasnighta 26,831 Posted November 25, 2017 I still have confidence. I am sure I’m one if the few, but I do. Could also be a syndrome of abuse victim, too. Not only have I been subject to worse from gaming companies in the past, but my own life is pretty crappy right now, so I’m holding to hope. 6 geek19, OlaphOfTheNorth, The Jabbawookie and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If their "big" news isn't legitimately big news, I'm done. I'll still play, but I will ONLY get ships via Shapeways, use generally sized model kits (the Revell Star destroyer is more accurately scaled anyway, and it makes sound effects!) use card printouts, FFG wont see another cent from me. I don't play in tournaments, so they cant do anything about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISD Avenger 897 Posted November 25, 2017 I do certainly hope this ‘big news’ is actually big news. I’ve got a bad feeling (to coin a phrase) that it’s going to be underwhelming, if indeed there is anything newsworthy at all. FFG could certainly do with improving their customer interaction.

I wouldn't be surprised if the news is underwhelming.

At this point I would accept any direct interaction from FFG with these forums as something big. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thraug 1,066 Posted November 26, 2017 Wasn't the big news the Thrawn announcement? Sad, but I think that was it. 8 Stasy, Formynder4, Ardaedhel and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and the ISD that they repainted is a big ship. Therefore it was something big ... that was coming. At least, when it was still coming. Since it's still listed as 'In Development', I would hazard that we don't get it 'till deep into Q2. 1 Eggzavier reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure that they would have hyped anything that way even if it was nothing but repaints of the flotillas. I only keep mocking it because it fits in perfectly with the rest of their vague statements. 4 Gadgetron, ThatRobHuman, Tirion and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catch is, they've been dismissive of Armada and they choose to hype it up with that gem, they need to be prepared for backlash if it doesn't live up. There are so many good ways to respond to criticism by consumers, this was not one of them. 3 Tirion, NebulonB and Megatronrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
