- We caught up with Alex & Frank at FFG Worlds to discuss the past and future of X-Wing! Jumpmasters? Scum? FAQs? With more of the tournament season now in view, these questions are more relevant than ever.

17:24 OH YEEEEEEAAAH
Macho Man "The Cream Rises to the Top" Randy Savage caught between two worlds inside the glass. Fun touch to the vid.
First time it happened at 14:34 ;)
yeah someone saw that below. It's pretty funny. I bet Alex Davy isn't going to say that anymore if he sees the vid lol aak phhhpt ;
Put out an official online list builder. Either that, or start mailing out replacement cards when they get errata'd.
These guys are really good at saying a lot by saying very little. They love to basically confirm stuff whilst not actually giving anything away.
the hidden gems was a great question that I've been hoping somone would ask alex and frank for a while, nice job Zach
The Zack Mathews but they didn't really answer other then to say bombs.
Whoa, the reflection at 14:33
Search TH-cam for "Macho Man & Mean Gene - The Cream Rises to the Top" ; That's what Alex is saying in this vid ;
Fix the T-65!
Team Covenant should make that triangular chart they were talking about. That would be really cool to see.
I hope they re-release the updated and errata cards. I hate getting into games and then having the parts of it not mean what they do
You guys put out the best x wing content of all so thank you for this. Mild criticism would be for the interviewer to resist the urge to answer his own question before giving the interviewee the chance to speak. Also there were a few times where the interviewer just started rambling about the game itself. Yes, we know Soontir is good with Push the Limit lol you don't need to go on about it. Great interview all the same! These guys are very diplomatic and brave to admit when they got things wrong or missed certain combos.
I think they said a lot and were asked most of the same questions I would have asked. The most important response I saw was, "Well what about Biggs?" They see him as a problem and I would have asked which pilot comes up the most when designing the game. There is something there when it comes to his ability in where we may see another change for him soon. I for one respect their abilities to design a game and hope they ignore criticism. Everyone can preach about how they would design a game, but they are the ones with the final decisions. I hope they do not feel too pressured and do not paint themselves into a corner with new releases and updates.
Can't help but notice, there wasn't the inevitable Jumpmaster question. Some tongue and cheek but you never specifically address it.
Its funny watching them talk about "lets see what Worlds 2017 results are before we see how to adjust the meta". Surprising no one Scum did very well and Dengar was still the winner. Honestly I am a little frustrated with X-wing ATM. The balance isn't nearly as close as some people would like to think it is.
Yeah WTF at 14:34 Macho Man is in that picture frame freaked me out lol!!!!!
@Zach - How I wish you would have asked them if the "structure of X Wing" becomes to stressed would they consider an X Wing 2.0 #askcovenant
I rewound it thrice to figure out why he appeared.
As much as i love Alex and Frank for doing these interviews, im really not sure they said very much. yer there were plenty of words but not much said. I don't mean "i wanted spoilers give me spoilers" either. thanks to TC and Alex and Frank for doing this though
Bunkyboy 91 they were having a very political discussion on both sides. the designers had NDA's to keep to and Zach couldn't just come out and ask "Wtf is with the jumpmaster?" if he wanted to keep us in the loop.
Bunkyboy 91 Alex did basically admit that they went too far with the Jumpmaster 5K in attempt to make Scum viable, however I would have liked to hear something like, "we're working in it."
I think where FFG really needs to improve is in communicating with their player base. I'm not asking for complete transparency, just reassurence that they do actually know what the heck they're doing and what methods they are implementing.
Jed Litwiller their methods have been consistent in recent years: use the errata and FAQ to tweak the meta. No inside information, but I will be shocked if the next update doesn't reign the Jumps back in.
What I find not strong enough into victory strategics is ion and tractor beam. It looks appealing at first but it ends short to go as far as alpha missile/torpedoe/tlt/bombs strikes
This video would have been great if you guys actually uploaded the same day. Now its nearly 2 months old.
50 seconds in and Saying dengar\manaroo is gone from the meta was only replaced by uboats, dengar\insert other ship, rau boats and so on.
I never knew what Frank Brooks looked like. I pictured him more like Alex Davy ; He's very good at replying to rules FAQ. MTFBWY P.S. I would have asked them why in the world is Dengar a PS 9? Is it because the JumpMaster 5000's maneuver table/dial is a bit unique (greens towards the left whites and red on the right?
I call him david grohl look a like
Missed the most important question: Why isn't Ezra a pilot in the Tie Fighter? Also, why is it called Sabine's Tie Fighter? She just painted the thing, it's Ezra's!!
That macho man reference though. ='D
What a great interview, always love hearing from designers.
Thank you Tim!
31:59 kinda scared me
And bombs have taken us away from the movies where they play very lottle part.
Why the heck did you invite dave grohl to this interview?
We were hoping he would sing "Learn to Fly".
25.30 ish. Still going strong? Nonsense. I am unable to use half my models if I hope to win. That equals a game which has lost its way.
Jumpmasters are still way too good. Everyone knows it. Either nerf or get rid of the ship. 25 points. Obviously too little.
Frank's face while there talking about mindlink....
You could see Alex loves his work while Frank probably loves his job, but in his mind kept thinking, F you trolls and your meta. I will burn this place to the ground!
Gone from the meta.? Lets look at that. Dengaroo wins worlds. Equals still, pretty much in meta.
Come ffg. Nerf the jumpmaster, if you can't them ban it.
The whole meta discussion seems like a bunch of bull. The truth is well run reasonable combination can win at anytime with some luck.
when are you guys going to mandate dice Towers at tournaments, to help eliminate all of the cheating that these guys are doing with the dice rolls. When I say cheating, watch how they roll the dice. you will see that they will put the dice between two fingers cradled and they'll just move their hand back and forth a little bit the dice won't move in their hand and then they'll just turn their hand over and drop the dry straight down from about 2 inches off the table. I have literally seen a guy roll his thumb down the dice while they were cradled to get the opposite results so that when he dropped them he would get the results that he wanted. this cheating is widespread in the tournament scene and it is the responsibility of the tournament organizers to put this to a stop. it's not fair to other players when these guys are cheating.
Tabitha Martin This is this first I've ever heard of this... If you see it happening call them out or have a judge watch them roll.
+Zeke770 I am seeing it on the TH-cam video of the tournaments
Do you have an example ? I mean, I believe you, but do you have a link to this kind of video ? I'm TO, and i would like to know how to prevent this. I knew that some people "forgot" their direct hit in the damage deck. I also knew that some non-official dice are totaly unbalanced. But i never saw somebody controlling his dice rolling.
+xavier “Starkiller” gombaud yes, i could, but I would likely have to review hours of games that I have already seen before to find them. it's something I noticed when I was trying to figure out how SOME players are consistently rolling well. a dice tower would easily fix any dice rolling issues.
I love your vids but if its over 2 month old then don't bother posting it.. Its confusing to new players or who don't keep up with the tourney scene. Wave 11 comes out July 13 and this video still talks about "spoilers".
