Talk:Saw's Renegades Expansion Pack/@comment-454133-20180327174458

Salty rant:

I've seen some presumed leaks discussed and if real, the X-Wing fix will be disappointing. So I hope the leaks are fake.

We've also seen really aggressive fixes fall short, e.g. the StarViper and Kihraxz. The main thing to come out of Guns for Hire was Harpoons. The main thing in this pack that will matter is probably the Saw crew card. I'm too pessimistic to believe FFG understands the state of their own meta enough (or tests their own crap enough) to make the titles properly effective. :/  But they're happy to sell us these fixes anyway.

The poll on the front page shows 5x as many people are interested in an X-Wing fix than in Harpoons being nerfed, despite so many frustrations with Harpoons, which says a lot. It's 4x more popular than the U-Wing or TIE Reaper. People have been holding out for an X-Wing buff for a long time. If this is disappointing, I wonder if that's what will finally make those people leave X-Wing for Warhammer, Legion, etc. My local group has already lost about half or more of its active members that way, and FFG doesn't act interested in X-Wing anymore so I can't blame anyone who leaves. Just as locals are losing faith in FFG, Games Workshop has started to pull its crap together and lure its former Warhammer players back.

We'll have to see what happens.
