Awesome interview. I love Mr. Shick’s view on “coopetitive.” That’s definitely a term I will be borrowing. My gaming group has always had a similar philosophy. We are there to play with plastic army men, and hang out. Winning would be nice, but it’s not the goal of playing. And I love that philosophy being part of the design philosophy. Probably why I keep going back to Shatterpoint despite only winning 1 game. The story we’re telling in the game is just that fun. Thank you guys.
Very insightful interview! Sounds like Legion has a lot of really good stuff coming down the road! And as always its wonderful to hear the design philosophy of AMG. Thanks for running a great interview and asking some important questions!
Good stuff. Nice to get the thoughts about how the community is adapting to 2.6 while we await the second half of the unit refreshes. That point about not worrying about having to buy the terrain packs again in the future is a HUGE statement.
Will is good people. I'm glad he presented their philosophy regarding the update to Legion, because i feel a lot of players don't quite understand the ripple effect changing something can have.
Cool to see how he thinks about the game. Very meta. Love that AMG is trying to maintain the essence of what makes Star Wars (and this game) Star Wars. Star Wars and legion players are all kids at heart and even though this is his job Will is no exception.
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I’m also into ww2 and the third edition of bolt action just came out so I’m gonna start with that. Wish I could afford them all 😂
@@graysquadrongaming8670 that sucks. We want to have store tournaments and having store kits would make prize support so much better. FFG would do store tournaments kits for x-wing and my store bought every single one. Great for promoting the game.
Good that they've realised that GAR has a couple of units which are way too strong. However I hope the change is comming soon. Competitive Legion is no fun currently.
Will we see more updates to rebel corps that need help and units like leia who need courage 3 in order to match her mom or are those finalized? Love hearing they might be doing official campaigns for legion. 🤞 sounds so cool!
@graysquadrongaming8670 yahh I'm thinking that too but I'd love to see some more help for rebels. I just think Leia is braver than padme and should be courage 3 lol I mean she sassed tarkin and vader and killed jabba. (She also didn't lose the will to live lol)
12 mins in this video and the guy says “Even as an inexperienced player I could see that…” and “After a week of watching…” And then butchered the game players have spent years mastering because “players think they want this but they don’t.” That’s terrible design and advice. Heard it before out of blizzard.
I think you are misunderstanding. He was saying when they first started learning the game. But it’s been over 2 years of them tweaking things. Game is in a great place and will continue to grow. Thanks for watching.
@riverbean18 was meant to just be a Lil cheeky but fair enough. Mostly annoyed at amg for spending so many resources on a game that barely anyone plays in the many stores in my area when we could be building on the momentum of legion 2.0. My local group is already beleaguered from gar oppression and are dismayed having to wait for March
@@myleskim8920Agree there, Will said in the interview that they spotted a the stuff that needed attention, could we get a least a patch to tone down GAR before we wait for phase 2…

Thank you guys.
I agree! Thanks.

Great interview guys! Always love hearing Shick chat about his design philosophies and ideas and stuff.
Always great to hear. Thanks!
-Joe
I appreciate how open he is with the community, and learned that mini gaming views are RUclips. Even better he does it with you guys!
Thank you very much!
-Joe
I'm glad you guys got to interview Will. He is very personable and presents the information well.
He is really a cool guy
Could you add timestamps?
They are added

Thanks for watching
Awesome interview! Love hearing the insights into game design. Hope I can get into that career one day. Can't wait for adepticon.
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Fantastic stuff again. Love hearing about the energy AMG spends on trying to make these games better.
It is really great to hear their passion coming through. Thanks!
-Joe
Great interview. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching
Great interview guys! It sounds like there is a lot of good stuff coming!
There sure is
Good stuff. Nice to get the thoughts about how the community is adapting to 2.6 while we await the second half of the unit refreshes. That point about not worrying about having to buy the terrain packs again in the future is a HUGE statement.
It does help with people who want to hobby and such. Thanks!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 Forgot to say thanks for asking about Spec Ops too!
Enjoyable discussion. It would be awesome to sit in on a development disucssion with the studio. Good video!
Yeah that would be interesting
Awesome interview, guys. Very well done!
Thank you very much!
-Joe

Yeah he was very good at explaining everything
@@graysquadrongaming8670 He's had a lot of experience over the years having to explain stuff to gamers. ;)
Hey that bridge looks familiar! =)
They are mass produced sir…haha
Adepticon can't come soon enough. Great interview, gentlemen.
Thanks and we agree

Yeah they do a great job
Any news on the October Armada?
We only covered Star Wars Legion and Shatterpoint in this one. Thanks!
-Joe
I think I’ll probably wait until the new core sets come out before I start
It’s probably a while off, why wait haha
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I’m also into ww2 and the third edition of bolt action just came out so I’m gonna start with that. Wish I could afford them all 😂
When is adepticon? Summer?
It’s march 26th. Thanks!
-Joe
Speaking of a legion AT-AT, I actually 3d printed a legion scale AT-AT. It’s massive and takes up like a third of the table. It’s stupid big lol
If you are in our discord share some pictures! Thanks.
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I’m not but I can look into joining it. The walkers not painted yet but it’s in grey resin so it doesn’t look too weird
Shick: We watch content and use it to improve the game!
GW: lol we do what we want.
Haha
@@graysquadrongaming8670 You can't say I'm wrong though!
Was a nice interview though, and fun to listen to while painting my Speeder Bikes.
Are we going to get store tournament kits for shatterpoint?
Not sure, we didn’t get to OP questions. Thanks!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 that sucks. We want to have store tournaments and having store kits would make prize support so much better. FFG would do store tournaments kits for x-wing and my store bought every single one. Great for promoting the game.
They did OP kits for legion all last year and such that had promo alt arts and more.
@@graysquadrongaming8670 yes. Hoping they drop some for Shatterpoint soon.
I still find it insulting that Alex Davy is not listed in the new rulebook. I get hating on FF a bit, but they did give us Legion
I don’t think any insult is meant. They have spoken highly of them in the past. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Could you add timestamps please?

I’m sure it’s on the way. Probably with the next card rebalance
I started to get really excited when he mentioned Bo-Katan. Until I realized that he was speaking hypothetical.
But was he
@@graysquadrongaming8670 seemed like it.
Will we see more updates to rebel corps that need help and units like leia who need courage 3 in order to match her mom or are those finalized?
Love hearing they might be doing official campaigns for legion. 🤞 sounds so cool!
I feel like we have the updated Leah card already so we probably won’t see that
@graysquadrongaming8670 yahh I'm thinking that too but I'd love to see some more help for rebels. I just think Leia is braver than padme and should be courage 3 lol I mean she sassed tarkin and vader and killed jabba. (She also didn't lose the will to live lol)
@@graysquadrongaming8670 Cmon man, you're a Star Wars podcaster. You got to get Leia right... 🙂
That was Don lol, Leia is an icon. Thanks!

I’m a Star Wars RUclipsr not a spelling teacher…-Don

Too much shatterpoint talk lol. Let's talk more on the game that actually sells
Both games have their merits and Shatterpoint has some great models. With that said the majority of the interview was Legion based. Thanks!
-Joe
I thought the people in our little hobby community were supposed to be cool and respect eachother... Dont crap on other peoples' fun
