Perhaps CG wasn't prepared..

Past




Present

Hmm... Geos are finally good, and by accident the Jawas have a use again. Sounds good to me.

I like Holdo, because There are only 11 resistance toons in the game, so you really need all of them to field 2 separate resistance squads for events like GAC or TW. None of the toons are bad, though.

For Ahsoka (Fulcrum) it's just that Fulcrum has a decent faction, but can't make use of it since there are better toons to take under the best leads (she's not Phoenix, she's not Rogue1, and CLS makes better use of other toons, which leaves Ackbar & Wedge, neither of which is that bad, but you're dealing with leftover mis-match rebels at that point, so it's never going to be a great squad).

Visas doesn't have a faction, so none of the best leader abilities help her. Again, it's not that her kit is bad as a lone toon, but other toons have kits just as good AND get some outrageous bonuses from a great faction leader. Compare, for example, the kit Daka has. It's not a better kit for a healer, but if you were running Mother Talzin and 3 other NightSisters would you take Visas or Daka? The answer is obvious.

Holdo is one of the few toons in the game with AoE Daze. The rest of her kit is marginal. She's an okay tank, but nothing super-hero or anything. But that AoE daze is tremendously powerful, and as a Resistance toon she's able to access the benefits of JTR's lead (and Finns, which is still good even if it's not as good as it once was). The real benefit of Holdo is that she can replace R2 in most resistance squads that use him. You don't lose the AoE attack (which is otherwise lacking in Resistance) and Daze is better than Stealth, but serves much the same purpose - both are useful for defeating counterattacks. Daze has to get past enemy tenacity, but Stealth doesn't prevent your opponent from gaining bonus TM.

All-in-all, Holdo makes a GREAT r2 substitute, which means now you can move r2 into a CLS squad without worrying that you'll miss him in your resistance squad if you're doing LS TB or GAC or TW.

No, Holdo will never make it in Arena, but by making R2 more useful she gives more benefit that Visas or Fulcrum will, both of whom can only ever be marginal toons given their faction limitations and the toons Fulcrum has to compete against in her own faction.

We had no basis for the schedule of this event.

Well that's just repeating what's been said a thousand times and doesn't give us anything. Not really worth weighing in for that.

I'll grant you however that it's reasonable given that the question has been asked a thousand times. Not a practical response, but at least a reasonable one.

However, given that the question keeps being asked, over and over again. Perhaps it's a question the community is interested in. Maybe we should give them some information?

I mean it hasn't YET been announced that the event WILL EVER come back (correct me if I'm wrong - was probably announced to the community via a reply on page 48 of thread x and seen by five trolls).

Come on though - we all obviously want info here. Can you throw us a bone? Doesn't have to be the exact date, just some info.

e.g.

Will this event have a cadence (semi regular semi predictable return - or random return).

If so - will it be quarterly, bi-annually, annually.

If CG doesn't want to give up that info - can we at least know when we can expect to learn these answers?

So basically, instead of correcting a bug, you rework jawas.

If Jawas needs to be g12/g13 in order to wipe out the bugs equally geared, that's fair and square. Let's see what a reworked beef up jawa team can do against other assist heavy squads !

But if this allows a clearly undergeared jawa squad to destroy the bugs, I don't get it. You won't need to gear them, so there is no strategy, no "who do i gear ?" involved. In this case, you just nerfed Bugs big time for no apparent reason.

To sum up, I hope there was (were?) some testing done

Seriously CG?
You find it an interesting interaction that a totally undergeared faction can blow away, by literally doing nothing, on of the recently reworked and announced as one of the very good defence teams?

It's a slap in the face for all who invested heavily into geos.

Sure you can still use them on offence and they are needed in tb.
But I did build them as another good defence team and wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Cant help myself, but find this quite frustrating...

Are you thinking about refunding the soended resources in them? Because that's what is needed here than. With this interaction I dont need gear 13 bugs and are happy with my former gear 12.

Thanks for considering and cheers..

I fail to understand who would have spent $300 on alpha considering the ease of farming
