I think I would have to avoid playing a KKK list, just on principle.

3K, sir. The KKK list was posted by trolls, not X-wang players.

I like the name K3

Kubed? It's a brutal list though, Corran is utterly neutralised with all the stress this spits out. And it's not a deterrent to taking Tactician that it's only in arc if you really think about it, for two points it's still a nice bonus when you do land those in-arc shots.

That was indeed a brutal list. The KKK took my E-wing away

I need to try that 3K list, seems like fun. Looked like TLT and Tactician on each K-wing, with two Wardens and Miranda. Floppychop fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Bob Ross is now my nightly ritual, so I've started painting again. Needed some practice cuz I haven't painted in about a month so I did some easier blending and edging parts here. Now to consider what basecoat is appropriate for a SLAM SECTOR paint job.

Top 16 started, Whisper/Howlrunner/Academy x3 vs Vader/Jax/Palpatine

I have an unnatural love for single-ship-type lists, so I might have to try that

ConfusedUs posted:Any predictions for what we'll see in Worlds top 16? There's still 3-4 lists I haven't seen, but it looks like I missed out on the Fat Han and Punisher guesses and nailed the rest. There is a Decimator in the top 16 though, of all things, which I absolutely did not expect.

I flew the vader+crack shot swarm that was the second game on stream yesterday. I'm glad I didn't embarrass myself. It was all downhill after that loss. I faced 3 chewies with gunner, predator, c3p0, falcon title. Even without engine upgrades I just couldn't deal with them.

I imagine you, more or less, lost one TIE every round you were in range of the falcon? I run a miniswarm with Crack Shot and the falcon is the one ship I have the most trouble with myself. (That's why I try to ion it off the board with Deathrain and connor nets)

A 4 thug with TLT and unhinged came in 8th, and another 4 Y variation came in 15th (3 Grays with TLT and title, one with stressbot, and a Gold with autoblaster)

I guess 50% ain't bad for guesses. I really didn't see that Decimator making it though. Zero evade dice is rough.

Triple K is back on stream for the round of 8.

Yeah, should be interesting. Ks with tactician and TLTs with one being miranda.

ConfusedUs posted:Yeah I missed that 8th slot. I guess 50% ain't bad for guesses. Yeah, any higher it'd be a bad sign for the meta really. Did anyone pick Corran being the #1 ace though? He's in 5 lists.

Ha, just saw a nova squad post about the top rankings so far. Looks like Jeremy might be getting his revenge on paul after the last tourney at nova.

The commentators for the Worlds live stream are pretty great and educational. Then again, they're employees of FFG and getting paid so I suppose that's to be expected.

So if I can only bring core set asteroids to a tournament, why do the YT-2400/decimatior/raider/etc come with more?

I don't know about that. Half the time they're answering random questions instead of commenting on what's happening in the game. Who just shot who? What was the result? What did that crit say? I don't know because they're talking about anything except what's happening. Random questions would be best in the planning phase, I feel.

ConfusedUs posted:I don't know about that. Ya that's my only complaint. Most of those random chat questions are being brought up by one of the two commentators and I did notice how he often brings them up during interesting moments. Like, shut the gently caress up man nobody cares about your personal favorite pilots during a crucial hit dice roll. Their enthusiasm and insights and general interest in what's going on is what I was complimenting and I think that's pretty awesome.

Good to see some Xwings in the final. Even if they were the new hotness version.

Think they will put out division based on different time periods?

IIRC one of the designers explicitly stated that they're keeping X-Wing situated in and around the Rebellion Era up to and including TFA. Anything Clone Wars or Prequel era will likely not be added anytime soon or ever. AndyElusive fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Deviant posted:Yeah, it comes with three. The tournament rules are really specific about the legal sources for rocks- the core sets, Decimator, and Outrider sets. AndyElusive posted:IIRC one of the designers explicitly stated that they're keeping X-Wing situated in and around the Rebellion Era up to and including TFA. The idea of x-wing is that you can put all the space ships together and have a good time, and yeah, FFG isn't interested in making prequel ships. The TFA ships are reasonably costed for their increased capabilities compared to the originals. The T-65 is probably a bit pricey for what it does, but it's one of the design problems that's been with us since wave 1. Nobody's rushing out to spam Blue Squad Novices or Zeta pilots.

Man actually looking at that Good Ol Boy 3K list, thats a brutal setup. SLAM and having Miranda to add dice or recover shields and tactician. This is going to be a new mean meta people copy. Heaver's list is good in his hands but I don't see many people putting it to as good use as he did.
