Atomic Mass Games Studio Communications Round-Up #1:

In an effort to communicate more transparently and effectively with our players, we’ll be putting together a round-up of answers to questions that have repeatedly come across our social channels. We’ll do this periodically to give the community transmissions to share with the “official word” from us on various topics. So let’s get into it!

Why didn’t you drop points updates for all the STAR WARS games May 4th?

Our goal is to make thoughtful changes and updates to the games in our roster. This means that they will not be set on an arbitrary regular schedule. We recognize that this may be a change of pace for some, so we wanted to clarify our intention officially. When we said “the new season kicks off on May 4th,” we did not intentionally imply there would be points updates for all of the games. We simply aimed to state that it’s when Store Tournament Kit events and WOQ events for the new season begin.

If the new season started May 4th, then when will you announce all the official events for the year?

We are compiling regional qualifier dates as we speak and will have them out to the community as soon as venues are confirmed. We’ll work to ensure that we have this information available ahead of the season in the future.

Where is the STAR WARS: Legion points update? 

We hear you! Originally we intended to get this out by the end of May – however things happen and there are several checkpoints along the road to getting content into your hands. We have run into a delay, but it is still coming and we wanted to let you know that there will not be an update prior to UKGE.

My event is coming! How will there be time to prepare if the points drop late? 

We aim to enforce a two week delay from when points drop to when they become legal in competition, allowing everyone a chance to experiment with list building plus acquire and paint up any new units if applicable.

Where is the STAR WARS: Armada Prizing Announcement for World Open Qualifiers?

This has also experienced some delays and we will post this transmission as soon as we are cleared to do so. We recognize this may be a disappointment to those getting ready to compete, but there will be prizing.

How do stores report winners from Store Championship Kit events? 

Distributors will soon be providing a link to retailers who have secured Store Championship Kits so that they can report their winners. Worlds communications will begin in late fall for those that qualify.

We’re seeing a lot of coverage from content creators on STAR WARS: Shatterpoint? How are they selected and am I eligible?

We have a few prerequisites for adding content creators to our press list:

• We want to see that creators have a significant number of highly engaged followers between all of their social channels.
• We consider all sorts of platforms when it comes to making sure we have a broad spectrum of coverage, so make sure to let us know where your main channel for content is, whether that’s YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok etc.
• They should be posting regularly – weekly or bi-weekly posts.
• Their content should have a significant focus on miniatures/hobby.
• Their content needs to drive a significant amount of engagement between views, comments, likes, and link clicks.
• We have completed our press push for STAR WARS: Shatterpoint. However, if you meet the above criteria and you would like to cover future products – whether for Shatterpoint or any other game on our roster, please send your request and examples of your content to press@atomicmassgames.com
