May the Fourth:
Previously announced R2 is released! Crystals go on sale!
Silence from the devs on the forums. Not even a hint about the 2nd fan favorite character nor the new game mode.
Waiting for Revenge of the Sixth?

That's it. What were you expecting?
Also got a new splash screen, pilot animations, free7* R2 that is OP AF, mod packs are back. I'm happy
He's referencing last year when there were 4 days of double drops in various parts of the game followed by double drops in all modes on the last day.
Ha! R2 OP AF, good one!! Thx for the laugh today.
Did you get R2 last year? Yoda? Palp?
Ah. Good call on the 40th anniversary.
I was stoked for R2, but I'm not even talking about getting free stuff--I was just expecting them to flesh out their roadmap a little more. A post or two on the forums ... that's all I'm asking ...

Just so you know, he will not be seen a whole lot in top of arenas. He is awful on D and some people that geared him have fallen in ranks further then they have since the game started.
Imagine if your a whale or kraken; you just geared him up and you can still easily beat the teams you could before but now you are falling further in rank then you have in a year. Now people that paid way less than you now can beat your team consistently because of a new free toon that was basically given away to all your opponents.
Dat cuz he need da C3PO protocol droid for dat sik synergy. Wait till June. R2/C3 meta inbound.
Huh?
First you say, he is awful on Defense and is not viable in the Arena. Then, you say the whales that use this free toon will lose ground in the arena because they implemented him into their arena team. Connotation: R2 is not good in area because defense is bad and will cause you to drop rank. Then, you say that people who pay way less will be able to beat this Whale's team now because he switched R2 into his team(because R2 is bad on defense), and you are blaming that on the event? No one forced the Whale to replace his roster with R2 in it. If he starts losing ground, he can switch back to what he was using before that was holding. After all, no one is going to climb above this Whale's old arena team anyway with R2 in it, because as you said, R2 is terrible on defense. You contradicted yourself so hard in this statement wow.
Wrong. I started using him yesterday as soon as i got him. I dropped from 1 to 8 overnight.

Sorry to disapoint you, R2 is a beast.
That would be sweet but if they are watching this at all, they should just communicate with the despondent who are upset about 4th rollout. It might shut them up a bit and thin out the message forums to more interesting stuff (says the guy sitting here reading this)
Agreed...the new event is listed in the event page. But the problem is EA is not pointing to that and they assume everyone knows that the 25th is the 40th anniversary and put two and two together.
He's talking about all the gear and 2 zetas that went into making R2 "fabulous" is a waste for that whale/kraken. We got this "free" toon that is supposed to be OP AF but is not sustainable in arena.
Kraken (and whales, if slightly less so), are defined by the fact that they don't mind wasting fabulous quantities of weath. "Waste for a whale/kraken" is an oxymoron. What's your point?

"Freebies? One! Quarter portion!" "Thank you EA, can I have anotha'?"
You meant episode I, didn't you? The IV came much later.
I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for anything then.
Um, how about no? Crystal prices went up and we got a sale for 25% more crystals. Doesn't really feel like it's a good deal.
I'm happy for R2 but it's really the only thing we received.
Doubles would have been nice...
dude, we got to see "Chewbacca" in the event, and not the clone wars one, the REAL one. fan favorite. case closed.
I see from your stats you have a younger shard. Your jedi team before r2 would be a top 40 in mine unless you spent 2 refreshes everyday to move towards top spots. I know this because we had 3 jedi teams exactly like yours in mine. 1 switched to zaul finally and the other two sit between 30-50 everyday. About once a week I'll see one of them making a run into top 20 but then they disappear again.
I don't yet see much use for R2 in arena but hope to have it available to HAAT (we got stalled in early P3, too many newbies in the guild ). Just not sure how to run R2. Clones, perhaps?
I'm looking at a Jyn-led R1 squad. All those juicy, juicy exposes.

Humm... Yeah, it's a June 16 shard, it's not old but it's not yoooung either.... Anyways, i think the most different experiences are because of the different shards indeed...
