    Sometimes you just have to make time.

    Don't know if it's just me but it's pretty much impossible to tell which clone you're picking in the clone selection screen now with their helmets on.

    The helmets are all very unique. You will get used to it.

    Only if they get reworks. Otherwise there's no reason to use them anywhere.

    You could use them in assault battles if you wanted to. I did. You know, for fun.

    Sure, if they're already geared. I have plenty of fun with my Rebels in that one, at least on the Mythic tier.

    Clones... Never going to bother unless I 7* purely from GW.

    This is pretty funny though:

    I had the same thought. I really like the helmets in battle. And I like the new poses.
    But you select a dude with helmet on and then get to a helmet off screen, and then the helmet is on again in battle. It doesn't make sense.
    From no helmet to helmet in hand to helmet on in battle. That would make sense. And the old icons looked better and was easier to tell apart.

    It's not really that ppl have trouble discerning between them, it's that they have to learn which is which. It's a subtle difference but that's the real complaint they are making.

    It's different than the jawas who actually look almost exactly alike.

    Yes, most helmets are unique. The clones found individualism and took both Names and nicknames and garnished their uniforms differently than others.

    Cody wore all Yellow and had Obi-Wan’s Open Hand Squad symbol and a Mandalorian Kama.
    Gree wore all tactical green
    Rex has the distinguished honor of wearing the Mandalorian Eyes on his helmet as well as wearing the Mandalorian Kama

    Lol. This kinda proves what I was saying. It's easy if you're already an expert, but that's a lot of gibberish to learn for the rest.

    "Rex has eyes on his helmet," doesn't sound like gibberish even for the lay. And that's all you really need to tell his helmet apart.

    They already had it right with Gar Saxon is the point. Just do that again.

    Not exactly what he said, even though you used quotes. But you're missing my point. I'm just explaining that what irritates people is the fact they now have trouble knowing who is who. They'll get used it (I think you said that already in another post) but that is their frustration. That's all I'm saying.

    Paraphrasing is still an acceptable use of quotation marks.

    That said?

    Before the change, setting aside subtle differences, we had the blonde, the one with the helmet, and three guys with the same face. After the change, setting aside subtle differences, we have the green one, the yellow one, and the three blue ones. There's no issue that wasn't already there.

    And as subtle differences go, the three blue guys being differentiated by looking left, right, and forward is pretty straightforward, even if you aren't versed in the other minor differences.

    It's hard to put any serious argument that the clones are harder to tell apart now. It'll just take a spot of getting used to.
    Still not a he.

    Assuming you have zero knowledge of Clones, Jawa, Tuskin or any other characters that look similar from actual Star Wars sources that have been in print, movie or TV for over a decade now, there are still in game ways to differentiate them.

    If you honestly can’t see Chief Nibit wears an outer cloak like he did in Episode 4 then I don’t know what to tell you. All the characters have distinguished features to separate them and know who you are picking from the lineup of faces. If you don’t know your own roster, that is on the player who does not take the time to realize the full potential of what they have.

    I can't tell my clones apart anymore. Where did these helmets come from? They need to go.

    You don't need a lot of gear to get some use out of them. They can clear the first two tiers at g8-9 with decent mods. Cody's 212th Attack ability is great fun, especially when it resets every turn. And Rex has many uses, so is deserving of any gear you can give him.

    Get over yourself.

    That link is for formal writing, and only one use of quotation marks.

    This forum is not formal writing, and there are other uses for quotation marks, especially in casual parlance. Informal is not necessarily wrong. And in this case? You are correcting me on nothing.

    Actually, formal or not, paraphrasing by definition excludes quotation marks. If you quotes in the context of repeating what someone said, you are quoting, not paraphrasing.

    Hahaha.

    The clones are identical (nearly) with their helmets because they have the same uniform.
    The clones are identical without their helmets because they are clones and have the same face.

    There are only so many ways to make them unique in a selection screen. They're far easier to tell apart than Biggs/Wedge in the ships or any of the Jawas.
