Too bad it can't be tiers like usual.

Honestly, for characters like R2 and Palpatine, I'm happy at least having them at 5 or 6 stars. So with Luke, its 7 stars or nothing. :(

    He's the special-est, most special, special character in the whole franchise!
    He NEEDS a super duper special way of release!
    The most super duper, extra specialist, bestest way ever!!!

    Until the next, even more special, Luke.

    No. For the first time in this game's history the developers are rewarding long-time loyal fans/players. They're not "screwing" the non whales.

    What is that? What is magical cutoff for loyal fans and players?

    If you want to feel special..great but to call this anything but another attempt to maximize profit is disingenuous

    For me, long time players are whales. A money whale can do things earlier, but a time whale has as much advantage compared to a new player (1 year or less). Time is money even in this game. This is not a bad thing but saying that a F2P old player is the same as a F2P new player is irrealist.

    And making Luke a 7* only character IS screwing the non whales. You could have your long time loyal fans/players badge without forbiding a big part of the playerbase to even test the new content.

    I like it and I'm 311 shards away from old Ben. The way they're releasing new toons now and territory battles supports having a diverse roster rather than just building a few toons.

    Here since launch? I'm on one of the oldest shards and everyone has Old Ben. Did your shard skip the dodge meta? Or 85% of the players?

    Not everyone follows metas. Being a long-time "loyal" player has nothing to do with which characters people have farmed. The stupidity in this thread is astounding.

    Long time player but you don't have Old Ben. Dodge meta was around March/April of 2016. Almost half a year after the game came out. I guess I don't need to tell you where you went wrong.

    Not trying to bash players, but I agree that if you've been playing since almost the beginning, you should have everyone required for Luke. It genuinely sucks if you don't, but c'mon, what were you doing way back then?

    Being a long-time "loyal" player does have a lot to do with characters already farmed. Look at older shards compared to newer shards. Can't spot the difference?

    I currently have 4 Characters not unlocked:

    URoRRuR'R'R
    Hoth Rebel Solder
    Lobot
    Old Ben.

    I guess I'm not loyal enough, or am bad at the game.

    No complaint, though, I finish top of Arena daily, so I have the crystals, but I do feel for the newer players. Getting all these guys is gotta be painful!

    I've just re-read the thread and realised you've been trolling pretty hard, so well done, you reeled me in for a while there.

    ^That.

    I got Old Ben to 5* when the dodge meta was rampant. Then realized his time had passed and I missed the dodge meta boat, and farmed Wedge, Lando, and Biggs a year ago instead.

    Glad my Old Ben effort is not wasted.

    Can you show me where I said that? I think you added a few thoughts between the lines.

    I don't have old Ben either and I've been playing for over a year. I guess I'm just not loyal enough either.

    That was a good attempt on solidifying your argument. Well done.

    No...you references the meta a year and a half ago...a meta that was quickly replaced by wiggs. Since then..there was little reason to farm up old ben.

    If this is a reward for "loyal" player...it is a terrible try

    When people bring this up I have to wonder if they're really the "veterans" they say they are. The "Old Ben dodge" meta is a myth. It was nowhere near as wide spread as Luminara or Dooku. The LONGEST period of time Ben was "meta" was back in 2015, early 2016 when he was chromium only. There is no reason for non-whales to have a 7* Ben. I've been playing since launch day and I don't have Ben.

    And that's besides the point. How does a casual player having a 5 or 6* Luke ruin the reward of a "veteran" having a 7* one? What a childish frame of mind. This game reduces grown adults to jealous children. I don't care about the character requirements. I'm bothered that this is 7* only. That's pure money grubbing.

    So you unlocked CUP, M.E., Nightsister Initiate. Acolyte, JKG, and other garbage toons before Old Ben. Got it.
