Seriously CG.....

10 shards per month for wicket and MT. So getting to play these characters with any relevance will take 2 years?

Even after we found about cls most poiple only had to wait 4 months for one of the best characters in the game. What the heck? This is madness.

    Two vaults would've gotten you a 7* Talzin immediately with the 1299 gamble packs whens she first came out.

    You can refresh the nodes for 10 more shards each time the event comes back. So 1 year if you want to spend some coin.

    If you don't want to spend money then yeah, 2 years. :|

    She's totally usable in arena at 4* though.

    It’s their new pay to play model. Instead of a 4-5 month delay between the whales and plebs getting something, it’s now 2 years. LOL

    Just know by the time you free farm these characters they will be long obsolete. They are pay to play only, unless you don't mind them at G11 4 or 5*.

    Is Wicket even relevant? He's not arena viable, HAAT/Rancor has better teams. Phoenix, Rebel, Resistance got TB covered.

    He's not even useful now and he's still 1-2 years farm away.

    I dont think i am liking this new model...hate to admit it, but this might be the straw that finally gets me to leave the game.

    Those toons become farmable, when they release even more broken/ stronger toons to pay for.

    Seriously though. I get MT, she is a necessary part of the new competitive NS squad. But Wicket? Absolutely no incentive to spend real-life or in-game resources on getting him.

    The game has demonstrated many times already that its definition of "useful" doesn't necessarily mean good or strong or enjoyable or viable in any existing activities.

    Make a new activity, slap a super desirable reward in there (like the latest meta defining character), and make Wicket a requirement. Now he's "useful."

    If it isn't that, it'll be something like platoons requiring fifteen 7* Wickets, the laziest remedy for uncommon characters that are useless. Make him useful by requiring him to be placed on a bingo card that removes him from combat options.

    I agree, this has the feeling of putting lipstick on the pig to make it more desirable. .

    Just watch, there’ll be a c3po event that needs wicket 7*. Then ROTJ Luke journey will need c3po. Wicket will become very important. This is CGs way of making useless toons a must have.

    Playing this game for 2 years lol. What he’s describing here is pretty much CGs standard MO.

    It’s purely a guess but is reasonable when you consider past history. For ROTJ Luke it wouldn’t be unreasonable to guess that you’ll need hermit yoda, cls, Chan, rolo and a fifth toon. R2 was cls, bb8 for jtrey, why not 3po for ROTJ Luke? He. You think hmm ewoks and 3po on Endor and it could be.... fits with their past modus operandi.

    Stars only matter for hit points. Gear and mods are vastly more important.

    The worst it has been so far was the rey event. If that hypothetical 3cpo event hits soon, that's quite a leap in difficulty to obtain a special character.

    It wouldn’t hit soon. Expect April mayish.

    shouldn't have used a relative term, but april may-ish is still a rather large leap in difficulty. With the current rate of getting wicket shards, the hypothetical event hitting next year would still be a leap in difficulty.

    i'm not worried, i think you're wrong. It doesn't really fit their MO. Sure, they make events difficult to entice spending, but not that difficult. By the time the event hits for the 2nd time, most dedicated f2p players are able to 7* the character in question, if not the first time the event hits. (i only missed yoda, bb8 and chimeara the first time around)
