  • They look great, kinda wish we got them instead of lame rose haha
  • I don't think Holdo would be that great in the typical zFinn team. I don't see myself replacing any of my expose sources nor R2 with her. If things go south, I'm already done, if they are right, I don't need her.

    Two toons nobody is waiting for. Literally, nobody.

    It’s one thing to say that you don’t want them but stop acting like “Literally nobody” does. I want them and other people on this forum have asked for them too. I get it. They’re not super popular, but believe it or not some people actually do like them.

    most of the sw fans didnt want these 2 kitten characters.it is the correct saying i guess

  • Holdo seems to work really well with R2, BB-8, JTR Lead and Rose. Pretty slick move to bolster Rey.
  • So if you're sticking to Resistance only characters, how would you split the 10 in two teams ?

    I think Zinn, Poe, Soldier, Rose and R2 on the first
    JTRey, Rey, BB8, Holdo and Pilot on the second

    You do realize that it takes more than just a month to create these characters right? They had to start working on them before the movie and before people like you started complaining about them. So either they could have wasted money and not released them or they could have released them on schedule. They wouldn't just not release them.

    Source on length of time to make characters?

  • @DrMaggot I would definitely put R2 with JTR
  • Jtr need bb8. Bb8 needs r2. Holdo and rose were obviously what they had in mind when they released jtr, trying to be secretive about her ideal squad. So there's your starter team, which obviously would be tweaked in accordance the your shard and whatnot. Let's not overthink this release. It's very deliberate, and has probably been on the table since they got the movi script.

    You wouldn’t want to split up the droids. BB-8 has some important droid synergy.

    I don't have a specific timescale but basic logic dictates that they would have to plan these out WAY in advance. The character models alone probably took at least a few work days, then you have to actually design the abilities, the stats then you have to do play testing and rebalancing. Then you finally have to actually add the characters to the game and make sure that adding new code doesn't suddenly break everything. If it takes less than a month to design, make and release a character I would be shocked.

    Or they could just keep the kit and reskin them, I am pretty sure it could be done within a month...

    Why would they reskin a main character who is going to be released eventually regardless because they were in so much of the movie? It would also make whatever they got reskinned as cost more money which we all know EA would never agree to. Seriously just use basic logic.

    Well that depends on whether the extra investment would outweight the backslash created by releasing characters few people want. Sure they would get here eventually anyway, but they could be released later as something like Pao, main characters doesn't remotely equal strong characters here. But at the end of the day, players will just gobble up anything the devs serve if it makes them stronger so you are probably right. And that's why they don't give a rat's red backside about what characters we want.

    Rose is a fierce attacker? Really? Ok let's roll with it. Introducing Fierce Attacker Rose Tico also known as FART! Just like in the the movies, FART shows up unwanted and annoys everyone! FART's special ability is to sneak up on enemies in a silent and deadly way! Beware of FART!
  • Lol
    Actually i think holdo works well with rey jt... she will need her stars and g12 to shine and that will wait a few months but in the mean time she is not worse than other alternatives and makes it easy to beat strong ns squads...

    WE FORGOT WE HAVE JEDI, SEPARATISTS AND BOUNTY HUNTERS IN THE GAME, SORRY GUYS FACTION PASSES INC!

    Only the Rose and Purple overshadow my disappointment in what i assume is a second Sith pass instead of making dead factions work -.- Atleast its not another Rebel pass so i guess we can be thankful for that ...

    Dunno, I am still expecting Emperor Palpatine to get a zeta and maybe another unique, but be turned into a LS rebel...

    I totally get what you're saying but on the other hand I have to see their side.

    If every toon was released you ever wanted it would leave very little excitement and longevity to come in the game.

    The release of the last Jedi no doubt has a few more toons to come yet more the FO faction now!

    Jango will come, as will Revan and everyone else we're after just in good time.

    I totally get the longevity aspect - that's something I knew I should have mentioned, but they haven't really given us too much of what we've asked for. I mean, if they update ships, then they still have plenty of things to give us still like Grievous rework, Droideka, BH, Jedi, Vader/Palp, Revan etc. I'm just saying, I haven't seen one thing addressed or updated that the majority has asked for since Luke, and before that it was R2, and before that I honestly can't remember. Why not give us one thing now, make lots of money, then save the rest for later? Idk. Even if every character we wanted was released, then they could still have good Reworks and content to add rather than just characters. I mean, it's going to end eventually when they are added, why not make a lot of money now by adding a couple big things and saving the 10'other big things for later? It just doesn't make sense to me.

    The longevity argument is complete nonsense if people bother to think about it a bit. The franchise was recently revitalized and there are no plans to stop in forseeable future, so there will be plenty of new characters to keep the game fresh for years, if not decades. The way Disney is going now, new characters might even be released faster than they are added here, with all the new movies and series. There really is no reason to keep so many demanded characters from us.

    Hiya Holotable Heroes! Here are the Game Updates for 1/25/2018


    NEW CHARACTERS
    Hold on to what you love
    jhcrsfaqqwb2.png
    Admiral Holdo and Rose Tico join their fellow Heroes on the Holotable! Amilyn Holdo is a seasoned Resistance tank with powerful ally support and enemy debuffs, while Rose Tico is a fierce attacker who can stun and grant her allies buffs. Both of these valiant heroes are ready to join your Resistance squad and lead you to victory!
    For a sneak peek at their kits, please be sure to give the Character Strategy posts, linked below, a looksee.
    EVENTS
    Spark of the Resistance I
    Join forces with Resistance fighter ROSE TICO and battle the First Order in this new Marquee event!
    • Date event begins: January 27th
    • Lv requirements for event: 20+
    • Required Content for event: None

    Spark of the Resistance II
    Join forces with AMILYN HOLDO and battle the First Order in her own unique Marquee event!
    • Date event begins: January 27th
    • Lv requirements for event: 20+
    • Required Content for event: None

    SHARD SHUFFLE
    Wicket, Nightsisters, and the Character Release Cadence

    Starting today, the following Character Shards will be made available in Shipments. Going forward, you’ll also see them in more traditional farmable locations. These characters will also continue to appear as rewards in their respective recurring events.
    • Wicket
    • Mother Talzin
    • Nightsister Zombie
    • Nightsister Spirit
    After listening to feedback and collecting player data, it’s clear that our efforts to make the distribution of these faction-defining characters special - by having them farmable exclusively behind recurring events has caused confusion on how marquee characters are released. In the future, we will be working harder to preserve the integrity of the Character Release Cadence, by ensuring that characters released via marquee events cycle through the game in a more standardized fashion, within clearly defined periods of time.
    Characters released via Territory Battles, legendary events, Hero’s Journeys, and other special occasions will continue to have a more unique and challenging farming schedule.
    Thank you all for helping us grow and improve the game!

    DEV POST

  • We want troopers! Who’s with me? Maybe add some troopers with a vader rework?
    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Stormtrooper_variants
  • ... This discussion is way better now than it was a couple of days ago; thanks so much for that!
  • All the complaining, they could’ve just not released anything. Not every character released has to be top tier game breaking. Introducing solid usable toons that are available for everyone that plays, how is that a bad thing? Silver spooned babies are so sad they aren’t getting their new DS toon RIGHT NOW! I main DS and agree they’re severely lacking, EP zeta should’ve been one of the first introduced, and now these new so-so toons both get them, it’s total ****. But, it’ll all come in due time, the dark side will rise up and crush them!
