It is probably stuck in the same log-jam as GW's Sylvaneth release.
Watch the "Potting Shed" clip on GW's community site for that announcement:

Designers committed honorable suicide after the shame of producing prequel trash, sinking the boat to purge all evidence of their failure from the universe? One can only dream...

There a lot of real world tensions going on with China right now. But that would involve getting into politics to discuss it.

That's what my wife thought as well, but a few containers of gaming material hardly seem like the first things you'd hit, or even single out. I'd assume car part, building supplies, electronic widgets and foodstuff would have been hit much more broadly than they have already.

Unless Xi Jinping really wanted to field a full flight of N1s before anyone else?

As its just a couple of weeks delay (apparently) it seems more likely that a container got caught up in customs somewhere. Apparently the points rebalancing is going to happen at the end of next month now as well. That could be interesting, glad its earlier as I will have plenty of time to adjust before SoS.

Points decrease on Tie Defenders *fingers crossed* (yeah it probably won't happen)

Points increase on Wedge, please?

Rather have a points increase on Leia, she is stupidly cheap/broken at the moment in Beef lists.
If we are wish listing;
AS and Juke to be scaled in points by initiative.
Generic Republic Arcs to be made slightly cheaper.
Grappling struts to be made cheaper.
Generic Phantoms to be made more expensive.
All Scum ships to be made cheaper as well as their upgrades and get an extra attack and two extra defence... Seriously though something needs to happen with Scum as there are currently 2 good lists now that Boba has been nerfed (well and 0-0-0 and Han gunner). Cheaper Lancers maybe? Though I expect the M3A to get something as they are very rarely seeing play and are about to be rereleased.
Feel like FO need something as well.

Cheaper Lancers would be ace, love that ship.

Regarding Wedge, I played him plenty, I still think that for 52 points, he's very efficient. Too much, maybe.

Cheaper Tie Defenders so Tripfenders can be done again.

Lower the cost for HTD and Upsilons FFG really overswung on the points change here.

Lower points on Auzitucks, HWKs (or at least the moldy crow title), YT-2400, and Tie Aggressors.

And give Scruggs their ordnance back.

Never thought I'd see people complaining that Wedge is overpowered...

Why scale Juke to initiative? And generic Arcs to be cheaper?! They’re a steal at 42...

He's not overpowered per se, he's just incredibly efficient, especially in a format that limits your choices like Hyperspace does.

Juke gets more valuable at higher initiative (more likely to still have your evade token) so I reckon it should cost more for higher and less for lower. Yeah the Initiative 2 Arc is good at 42, the initiative 3 is a joke at 47.

Points change is confirmed for the 25th of this month if no one noticed. looks like FFG are doing a live broadcast of it so that could be fun.

But the same is true for pretty much any upgrade. Torps are more valuable if you're more likely to be alive to use them and can get a target lock at higher PS, anything with an arc restriction is easier to use when you can boost/BR last, etc. The advantage of high PS is already built into the base ship cost, screwing around with variable upgrade costs should be a last resort thing for upgrades that obviously have a massive difference in power on different ships/pilots and risk creating major balance issues at a fixed cost.

Absolutely and the inherent cost of the higher initiative, pilot ability and seemingly paying for options does balance that to a great degree, especially things like torps. This bit "screwing around with variable upgrade costs should be a last resort thing for upgrades that obviously have a massive difference in power on different ships/pilots and risk creating major balance issues at a fixed cost." is why I think AS and Juke need to be variant cost. Currently you pretty much only see Juke on Phantoms (occasionally A Wings) but if they drop the price of the Defender it may be viable and I don't doubt we will be seeing it on the N1. Those three ships (Phantom/Def/N1) all gain an evade as a free action under very easy to get circumstances so Juke just seems like an auto take, its a powerful ability and if you have a free evade there is no opportunity cost (like torps needing a lock to fire when you may be better served to take a focus).

Juke gets better the more times it is taken in a single list. That’s where the issue lies, not with initiative.

Actually, ships that get a free evade on a rather simple condition (Defender, Phantom, N1) get stupidly good with Juke. So maybe not scale with initiative, but maybe those three ships should pay more for it? Maybe?

Resistance crew leaked;

New rules reference released;
https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/14/68/146862ef-287f-47d9-955d-50e1c324c92b/swzrulesreference_v104-compressed.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1-a8CO5U8tVQScbjiTFCM8DlgrfzOtwq_R2xTF8BjnlaWgoqQwRCMf40M

Mostly clarifications of the new wave stuff and some tided up wording (also now allows Proach and Yushun to work as everyone thought was intended).

And still no points for Wave 4.

How are you enjoying the Quick Build format?

Quickbuild… Quickbuild… That's the format where you use the cards to stop table legs from wobbling isn't it?

Never actually played it nor seen it played, yourself?

So points for the wave have been announced as being released on the same day as the wave, July 11th. The rebalance is still on for the 25th of this month.

Didn't they used to release points a few days early?

Or on time, or a couple of days late...

I think the best bet is to buy a magic 8 ball and go with whatever answer you get from that!

You mean June 11th? Cause I know some youtubers especially Hairy Nick in Australia already got his wave 4 content and did unboxing. It can't be that long of a wait for us in the States.

It will be JULY 11th.



also

Well...fudge.

Time enough for all those beautiful repaints to be done for day 1.
