Yeah, I noticed I was at 61 after making the video so did a quick edit on dreamborn.

I'm pretty sure I lost to an all ward build recently. It seems like a good idea!

​@@MauiWayfinder Tell your friend to LET IT GO.

Yeah, it's definitely a fun one and affordable at that! Best of luck with your deck! Let me know what you decide to put in it.

I've definitely enjoyed it. Dropping a John Silver with 3 or 4 locations feels reaaaaal good.

I don't make enough to play two TCGs at the same time :D

That was a test to see if my viewers are actively watching! It certainly wasn't me not paying enough attention...

Heh, you're right! I was so concerned with their potential lore I didn't look at my own! Let's just say I wanted to make the ending more dramatic.

@@HexiledGaming I was so confused why you didnt just quest there, glad you clarified

Ayyyyy, we're using Pixelborn. You can find the client here: www.pixelborntcg.com/

I burned out on X-Wing so I've taken a break from the game.

This is the way@@HexiledGaming

I just tested it to make sure. It still works.

@@HexiledGaming Can you record a video of you doing this? I've been sitting here for half an hour attempting, can't get it to work and now I have a gun in my mouth. Please help.

I'm a big "sensitive controls" skeptic but there are definitely players out there who make it work. Catherine is one of those players.

It is! We stream 4 games a day, 6 days a week most weeks. I just fell behind uploading to CZcams and never caught up. You can watch the streams live on Twitch or catch the archives here: www.twitch.tv/hexiledgaming/videos

@@HexiledGaming great news! Thanks for the update.

Yeah I get what you mean, but he could be trying out something different. Kinda surprised he didn't equip passive sensors, since they pair well with the missiles.

I believe the intention was to use Targeting Sync on grudge to bypass the lock requirement on the concs. That way you can still take a focus and fire the missile. He may have gone concs over the gunner to deny the range 3 bonus.

Yes, there are 4 scenarios in competitive play. They can be found here: static1.squarespace.com/static/5ce432b1f9d2be000134d8ae/t/62d07f71bcb7862177dd6180/1657831285815/SWZ_Scenarios_072022.pdf

You can also use it to make sure you don't get initiative killed yourself. For example: Mace using Heightened Perception to ensure he shoots before Boba Fett potentially kills him.

If you like table top gaming, you would love to play it. Just buy two core sets and you will have all the dice and plenty of ships to start with.

atomic mass games. They have all the updated info.

I'd highly recommend the latest episode of the Fly Better Podcast where they interview the developers. It has great incite into why they changed what they did and what they like to fly! mynockpodcast.libsyn.com/s5e14-may-2022-points-update-with-amgs-pagani-and-plummer

@@HexiledGaming I respect the recommendation, but after the last interview of theirs I watched I honestly believe they are completely out of touch with what the game was. Honestly they were rather abrasive, and hate to say it, but insulting about it. Any further interviews would be a waste of time after their last display. That said I believe actions not words, and their actions speak volumes. This whole third edition can only be called a debacle at this point. Look at how much they're having to fix in this update that should've been caught on even a brief player test before it was released to begin with. And it's only been out for like maybe four months? Only one major event? I've done work with designers like this and I've rarely seen this level of incompetence with a product. And they started off so well too. Shame really.

@@danteunknown2108 I agree some of the issues with the latest update seem like they should have been caught sooner, but they're fixed now. I appreciate the rapid response, at the very least. The interview did a good job of contextualizing the newest changes and specifically citing player feedback as a reason for many of them. You wanted Chance Encounter to stop going to time? Done. Scramble the Transmission was ending too soon? Fixed. Want to discourage an over abundance of turn 1 jousting to the central objective? Can't score scenario points until round 2 now. Too many 6 and 7 ship lists? Everyone but Empire and CIS lost their 2 point options. The new game definitely had a rough launch but it just got a lot better and not because of some pure artistic vision but because of player input.

@@HexiledGaming they're not even started to be fixed in my humble opinion. FFG realized after their missteps in first edition a very fundamental things about X-wing. The scoring inside the game system was never meant for anything but dogfight. The point balance, movement, abilities were all designed around dogfight. Which is fine. When they made first edd Epic they learned that lesson real hard they you couldn't break the scoring system over the back of the points balancing without snowballing. (Oh look, AMG X-wing snowballs almost always. Hmmmm). So when FFG made second edition Epic where they wanted to really lean into scenario play, they did the correct thing: scoring is separate from destruction. If the objective is the focus of your game play, the scoring system must reflect that. AMG never learned this lesson, even when it was quite literally handed to them. Again when FFG wanted to break up the 200/6 monotony they tried to introduce the Environment cards. Because that's what the game could handle without changing the score or balance systems. Another demonstration of how they learned from their earlier mistakes. Really they should've just made environments mandatory at events. Any have also had a built in time mechanic of course and this is also where hard lessons shaped the game. In interviews Alex even pointed out that the more balanced the game was the longer it would then last to resolve by destruction. Meaning only two timing conditions were needed. Destruction or time limit. Trying to balance that consumed time only against these two conditions was hard enough. AMG then comes in and tries to add in two completely different time conditions, total combined points and 14 rounds. Honestly again, of they had fully tested this system at all 14 rounds was not needed. That particular limit I'd wager is an artifact left over from early development that got grandfathered in when they were playing a version closer to 2.0. But now they have a useless turn limit that basically never comes up, a round time limit, and a score limit that competes the scenario against the game balance point system. These twain were never meant to meet. As much as their designer egos and players rose colored glasses might want them to believe they can balance that, especially with this new point system, it's not possible. That's why they had to sterilize it of diversity with dropping 2 point ships from entire factions. That wasn't a 'fix' they made in this newest update, player driven or otherwise. That was a domino collapsing around the new systems own inherent flaws. And they honestly believed it would work in the first place which is the truly sad part. What they really need to do, and the by far most prevalent feedback I've seen is go back to the old point system. That allows them to use the victory point system from Epic 2.0 which separated kills from objective. And that allows them to get time untangled from score. Everything else they've done on this last update was really putting paint on a collapsing house. It will LOOK good to their supporters, but in four months you will see again another round of bandaids as it just collapses further. FFG did the same for awhile with 1.0 before they got their heads out of their bum and made changes that created 2.0. But hey, it's your money. If you want to play a backslide in quality that's fine. But don't they to pass out off as an improvement when it clearly and demonstrably is not. That's all I'm saying.

That Mark guy is sure LUCKY HE DIDNT SQUANDER AN ENORMOUS LEAD AND GET BEAT IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACKS OF ALL TIME

@@HexiledGaming Gotta keep the game entertaining for the viewers. An almost comeback is way better viewing than a 21-0 blowout

The developers have since clarified on the Fly Better Podcast. The interpretation in the video above is correct.
