Why can't I use any of my Lukes or Old Ben; they lived on Tat all of Luke's life prior to ANH?
Also, with new raid structure, how will shards previously earned in PIT, Tank, HSTR, be replaced for the shard shop that helps in the build out of gear?
BTW: Great road ahead. Looking forward to the changes, I just hope we aren’t disappointed like we are with Datacrons, and the recent Tie Interceptor Proving ground.
Maybe I’m just reading too much into it but was hard to not have an underlying concern while reading news that should be 100% exciting haha
(Massive punch in the gut with Cpit. We finally got to a point of being about to finish it finally and they’re removing it entirely, hope there is a way to make up for the loss of rewards upon its removal. And I mean immediately, not 3 years down the line)
As someone who usually doesn't do Raids, this'll be interesting. Wonder how we'll get Aeromagnifiers or what the max ticket cap is now.
So what is the plan with these quests? We all get rewarded them or will be just lose out if we can't finish before the update?
Will the prestigious quests get updated? Pretty sure with the ticket changes 8,400 tickets would be impossible to do?
More on quests
Will these be updated or better yet, just remove the whole rank from raids parts from these quests?
8400 tickets is only 14 days of hitting your 600.
Bit of a concern, though. I can't help but feel that with so many new characters added lately, the goal post for early game players keeps getting moved further without proper catch-up mechanics.
More characters means more resources that some newer accounts are starved of for the first few years of play; like zetas, omegas, credits, carbantis, and oddly enough, mk2 fleet ability mats. Would love to see some improvements to these, like increasing rewards or frequency to existing events (Omega battles, credit heist, etc). Could even add a purchasable supplement to the Hyperdrive Bundle.
Also excited for new raids on the horizon... wondering if we will see Hoth AT-AT or even Fleet raids (like Jedi/Republic vs Droid Lucrehulk).
Wonder if we'll get a fancy Malevolence Raid to unlock something like Resolute.
Merrin is a Nightsister who lived on her homeworld of Dathomir during the Imperial Era.
Designed to lift the Nightsister squad
ALL THE HECKIN HYPE FOR ONE OF MY FAVORITE SQUADS!!!
Super excited for this! And the raid changes seem interesting too. Good road ahead.
I’m a little confused on the fallen order content and hero’s journey. It says Cal, Merrin, and Cere will join to help Cal on the journey, but then it says 5 new characters from fallen order, will these other 2 be needed for the journey? Will we need to two inquisitors that are already released that are part of that game? I’d like to know sooner than later so I can start farming those characters.
Also, will “fallen order” be its own faction? Using them for feats kind of implies it’s own faction, I know feats can be individual characters too though.
Mixed on the faction specific raid gate. It’s a great idea to clear some design space and not have to solve for every mechanic out there, but it’s definitely just going to be used as another way for them to monetize specific factions…
I read the heroes journey to be the same as the Mando/BAM unlock.
Not if they change it as they stated and as I added in the screenshot, say "ticket", not plural.
To me reads possibly changing to 1 ticket. That part does not matter much to me as I am way past that quest, just worried about younger accounts when they get to that part in the chain.
It says "ticket" because currently there are 4 different tickets and after this new raid starts there will be 1 ticket. You still have to earn 600 of them every day.
Agree, some of these changes will likely hurt the early-to-mid gamer who doesn't have those specific factions or are building them to a viable level. Meaning, less rewards for them than the current SIM system.
Rewards also include new Raid Currency that can be used to purchase items from Shipments
This special Raid Currency can only be earned from the Featured Raid (the latest Raid released)
This looks great! I can’t wait!
The raid says restricted to characters that have dealt with a Krayt dragon. Cobb vanth helped Mando but technically is not part of any of the factions listed. If he is introduced one day will he be able to participate in the new raid?
Or because he had mandolarian armor will be added to that faction even though he is not really.
CG - here’s a new raid. Restricted squads so we don’t have to have insane difficulty levels or ridiculous conditions to stop some random combination of CUP and Maul’s legs soloing it intentionally. And then lets us create more new raids with much more semblance to the real Star Wars universe.
Community - no. That’s not what we want. We just want to be angry with CG.
I’m not saying CG are perfect, far from it. But at least this sounds exciting. A new character many have been calling for since fallen order came out. What exactly is it it you want then? Is it not more content to relive the exciting moments of Star Wars we all know and love? Which is what this seems to be trying to achieve.
This seems perfectly reasonable to me. Why would the separatists be needed in a Krayt dragon raid? Why would you want Jawas on a Death Star raid for example, or Nightsister on a gungan raid?
But hey, let’s call CG out on it before we know all the details despite the early communication actually sounding promising.
Where did they say the difficulty won't be insane and that's the reason for restricted teams? The real reason is to make us waste resources on useless teams, so that people spend more money.
Also, more raids = you can only play one from now on?
And we'll see how they handle rewards. I doubt the new raid will give shards for han, traya, gk, gear, aeromagnifiers plus something else.
