Please rethink this nonsense.
This was a flat out Nerf.
I am beginning to think this faction pass will not make them relevant at all. Its looking like it will dumb them down into a beginner Pheonix Squadron type squad. If that's the case i'd rather keep them as they are: super good at some things, super bad at others.
If you can't Nerf Chaze, don't Nerf Ewok Elder! It's truly absurd.
Elder needed a Nerf? Really?
I've got elder on my Zader team, so no conflict in my eyes.
It's not a bug. They reduced his TM gain. The ability and it's description both changed. It's a flat out Nerf.
And as far as granting TM, no other toon is prevented from granting TM if they can not gain it themselves.
You speak the truth!
He is however a utility toon I've had since the beginning of the game that I happen to use a lot. He has a set of tools I lack because I don't have chaze or kenobi, but he isn't OP by any rational calculation.
Lets hope but not hold are breath
It was discussed in a Tin Foil Hat Club meeting, that since nerfing characters is so unpopular, EA has decided to instead, "create" bugs, then "fix" them.
Ewoks all get half that so they are affected too.
Other allies still get 10.
Also now if he's dazed, staggered shocked etc. not only can he not gain TM himself, no ally can gain TM from his basic either.
Other forum posters backed this up.
LOL! Maybe I should join. Are hats provided or do I need to bring my own foil?
They haven't been proven wrong by the recent changes to kylo and ewok elder.
Depends on your preference.
Do you want effectiveness?
Or style?
Stagger and stun don't impact tm gains. Of course he can't gain the tm from his basic if he is stunned. He can't even basic.
Daze and shock do prevent tm gains, so these would impact him.
I remember it always being 50% tm gain. I guess I could be wrong. I did use him for a long time.
So essentially, if he was "nerfed" (I really don't think he was changed) it's 5% to him and 2.5% to others. Not game breaking. Him not giving tm to his ewoks when he fails to grant himself tm seems like wai. Half of 0 is 0. So if he was granting 25/27.5 tm while he gained 0, this was busted and should have been fixed.
Style, definitely style.
Prior he used to gain TM at a 60% chance, half of which were given to all ewok allies. His Omega granted 10% TM no matter what every time he would basic.
NOW: It seems that he has a slightly lower TM gain as well to other ewoks, BUT the 10% TM gain to all allies no longer procs 100% of the time, but 60% of the time since EE can only give TM if he himself gets TM.
Which is a massive nerf on all accounts.
I'm pretty sure he never gained 55% turn meter.
If you look back at the old redundant SWGoH Cantina site it still has the old info, confirming this.
This is what I remember and why i can't really see what happened other than he can't hand out free tm if he didn't actually get tm
It's late and I think I'm confusing things. Original description did not say anything about needing to grant tm to himself in ordrr for allies to be granted tm. Ewok elder now has to grant tm to himself in order for others to gain it. Its a nerf. It was working as described. Just because it wasn't wai to them doesn't mean it wasn't working properly. They failed to describe and execute it properly but to us it was wai.
It always said half of his tm gain to other allies. To me, this means if he gained zero, he gives zero. If he gains 50%, he gives 25%. This seems like it's been adjusted to not award tm to other ewoks if we didn't actually get any. How can he give half of his if he didn't earn any?
The "Him not giving tm to his ewoks when he fails to grant himself tm seems like wai." part I'm more concerned about. Only Yoda has to give himself something to give it to others. Its just a nerf.
Oh yeah, and it's Ewok Elder. Not a meta defining toon.
Its just a really bad start to a faction pass I was for once excited about. They are really fun to play, and TBH I like beating up things with teddy bears.
You quote was never the wording of his basic skill.
If im rolling vader and palp, rex, chaze, and wiggs should all die the instant the match starts due to force crush and lightning but such is not the case. Nerfing ewok elder (and thats EXACTLY what it was), is a ploy by ea/cg to get people to spend money. However at this point i see it as a last ditch effort for ea to try to squeeze money out of players who would rather move on to something else before spending another dollar on this game.
