Did you people ever think your just selfish and need everything now. Why can't you wait till next go. It's not that bad but you all act like they killed your mom or something
It's not about entitlement or being selfish. It's about bad business.
All other toons have been achievable by educated guessing and restrictive farming, in time. These are not.
No his point is very pertinent in my opinion.
However I am not sure that this paywall is a bad thing tbh. The devs needs to make some money and this is fair enough.
Lol they make plenty without this exploitative behavior. Not a justification. That's like saying cigarette and alcohol companies exploiting human addiction is "fair enough" because they "need to make some money". Regardless of this stupid toon and this dumb game, exploiting human nature for profit is never a fair or moral thing. Period.
Thank you EA/CG! I know things aren’t always easy for both the players and for the developers, but what your team has been doing for the better part of this year has been so much better for all us players, both F2P and P2P. The customer service has improved drastically, and all the changes y’all have made to make us happier (which isn’t easy to please the masses), and many of them at our request and insistence, has really made the game a lot more enjoyable. We are a fickle community and it takes tons to please us, but I’d say you’re doing pretty good at it. THANK YOU!
OR have only been farmable for a few weeks and now you put a event out requiring them, it's another cash grab, I guess the chewie event went as planned $$$$ you know what you can do Revan DEVS
ftp shouldn't expect to get things the first time around. The game would go out of business. When these things come up and you really want them then concentrate on getting them the second time around.
Hats off to CG for their skillful distraction—they get us to pour everything into bounty hunters to unlock Chewie when we should have been farming that droid that has no synergy with the other OR characters.
Your post was fine until you told people not to panic farm. They can do what they feel is spot on and the clues are pretty obvious.
On the other hand, I agree that people shouldn't complain about "hey, don't bring revan, the toons are on hard nodes and I won't make it" or "please add them to the stores, every new character is super p2p and I want him now". What I mean is, we don't know the requirements and dates yet

It says the 18th October and all 5 at 7stars
And we have 3 weeks to farm OG. Same as vets for JTR but it's 5 characters instead, Revan is better, they need to get paid as a business to deliver this great content. If they didn't deliver profits ftp wouldn't even have a game. FTP should be happy they can continue to play while CG gets paid for these type of events to show management and ultimately their shareholders value. Look how far the game has come, how many more people they have been able to hire. If anyone isn't having fun, then move on. The game has grown leaps and bounds and has staying power if they continue to add content as they are. It's only getting better imo.
FTP: Just wait 3 or 4 months if you aren't willing to buy first run. That's the entire point. It's not if you will pay it's how much you will pay if you were paying attention. It's not intended first go for FTP, as it shouldn't be.
JTR Dec 15, 2017 (ran for a week)
2017-12-06 07:03 pm
It is confirmed that the event will require Rey (Scavenger), Finn, BB-8, Veteran Smuggler Han Solo, & Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca - all at 7 stars. This will unlock Rey (Jedi Training) at 7 stars.
BB-8 is returning on 2017-12-08.
2017-11-21 08:51 pm
Vets will be farmable on Cantina nodes starting November 22
Smuggler Chewbacca - Cantina 8-F
Smuggler Han - Cantina 8-G
Hmmmm are you guys amazed ?? I mean this has been the way things are currently. As a game it is fair for those whom wanna pay to get forward. For those PTP, u guys gonna wait for the 2nd round ...
It’s nothing personal ... it is just business model ... not that I agree with it either ...
On the brighter side, we know revan is coming. So let’s wait for the kit reveal. It might be game breaking or just meh like chewie (Sorry Chewie fans)
Apart from all this Why can't they get the story and timelines right,
1. The mask from a nameless female mandalorian found in the dirt
2. Where is alek
3. Bastilla shan is part of a jedi squad sent to capture revan
4. m3-4 is revans navigation droid during his journey of redemption 300 years later
5. Where is carth
6. As a jedi he wasnt named revan. The name came later.
7. Redeemed revan was not a jedi knight he was lord revan
8.
So all in all ea story contradicts both kotor and canon lore. Just seems a fudge. And making is more akin to borrowed making of kotor revan. Am i wrong?
ftp shouldn't expect to get things the first time around. The game would go out of business. When these things come up and you really want them then concentrate on getting them the second time around.
lmao how does ftp players being able to obtain a character the first time around equate to them going out of business? Could care less about not being able to get Revan, but that statement is just ludicrous
Can we get some more whales who don't feel they have gotten enough value for the $1000s they have spent on the game make some more snarky remarks and give us screenshots of their full slate of 7* g12 OR toons? Because that's what I really want right now... completely tone-deaf, entitled (insert preferred expletive here) showing off how much money they spent and how it makes them better than everyone who's not too happy atm. At least the first guy to do it, (wont name them, but a Screenshot lasts forever) had the good sense to delete his post... or it got taken off by a mod.
That said, we don't know the start date... but its likely soon and yeah, its disproportionately providing value to the whales, even the ones that have no class... but I can guarantee there will be at least one f2p player who gets Revan... my OR toons are all 5* and I have 84k crystals banked for just such an occasion... so, yeah... gg getting your toons ready by spending all the money... I'm doing it for $0... I'm soooo classy.
Man the harpoons!!
But really, yeah... bragging comes with competitive gaming, but boasting how much money you've spent to be the "best" is a move by Vice President Cheney.
because they wouldn't make money if people didn't buy things. if you could just farm everything the normal way in time the game would go out of business. do you understand how a business works?
ftp shouldn't expect to get things the first time around. The game would go out of business. When these things come up and you really want them then concentrate on getting them the second time around.
ftp got the other heroes journeys the day they came out. And you are completely missing the point, paying players are unable to get this new hero. Its out too soon from when the characters have come onto farm nodes.
You have to pay a LOT of money to get Revan, the only way, ONLY way to get Revan.
Everyone will pretty much be waiting for the next time Revan comes around.
So watch him be gamebreaking so we will all suck against anyone rich enough to buy him.
because they wouldn't make money if people didn't buy things. if you could just farm everything the normal way in time the game would go out of business. do you understand how a business works?
Your argument has fundamental flaws and gaps of cogency my friend. You want us to assume that a ftp person being obtainable the first time around equates to 0$ in revenue. That would be false. People still spend money even when there aren't events such as this and panic farm tactics employed. Those revenue streams are likely enough to keep this business afloat all on its own. Not to mention marquee character income, individual toon packs, mod packs, etc etc. I think its safe to say I have much more in depth understanding of how a business works than you do. Take a seat.

To be fair, this game has rather **** when dealing with canon things, especially from Kotor.
I mean look at the sith raid, Traya is missing a hand, and canonically she only loses the hand much later when the sith trio didn't exist. T3 doesn't even have his iconic things as his ability names, like his Droid renewable shield or shock arm. Repair kit? when I think T3 I think those 2 I listed or the fact that his skills meant you could only focus on persuasion and treat injury. I don't think "Oh he works so well with the one other droid you may never use especially if your light side". (goto doesn't count cause lol).
From what it appears they are pushing kotor content onto us having done little to no research at all. Like loaded up a wiki somewhere and read the first line and saw the first five characters and bam that's their research.
because they wouldn't make money if people didn't buy things. if you could just farm everything the normal way in time the game would go out of business. do you understand how a business works?
Hmm how did games survive all those years before micro transaction games.....its simple...greed
Wow, this has to be the biggest money grab in the history of the game. To make toons that were introduced not to long ago and made farmable not long ago as requirements to unlock a legendary toon is unfortunate. Especially for Revan. Although if this is a heroes journey, then this will be different as no legendary toon is required as the previous heroes journies.
How can you expect anyone to start buying any packs and crystal to panic farm without any info on what Jedi Knight Revan's kit looks like. After the release of legendary Chewbacca it sounds like every one who was able to unlock him to 7*'s coughed up a furball. So maybe buyer beware. I certainly hope that Revan's kit is worthy of those willing to spend the cash to unlock him and that he is the saviour. So many have been waiting for to make the Sith Raid easier as CLS and JTR did for HAAT.
For me I'm happy to see Revan coming to the game and I can patiently wait for the second time around.
As for the whales Thank You for funding the game as I do like this game and have played for so long.

Not even close to reality, not with the staff they have now. You are just throwing out wild guesses. They make "enough" what is this a socialist game?
I want A-Wings, both Battle of Endor and current design.
Just wait and see. So much anger and confusion, I can only imagine what Reddit looks like right now. Everyone now sees the goal post so work towards it without spending if that’s your goal or go play Mouse Trap.
2nd Release of Revan Journey: 7* is F2P if you focus on requirements.
If you're essentially a F2P don't expect to get any of the Journey characters on first shot UNLESS you've been instructed by someone who knows better when you joined or you've been specifically saving your crystals for months waiting for a reason to spend all you've saved(even then it's at least 10k-ish per toon to 7* without sims). Nothing wrong with getting a toon on the second go around.
Now, if CG and EA had Revan unlockable at 5*, I'd be dropping $30 on Zaalbar and Mission pack, instead since it's 7* only and I've a Vince McMahon entrance song(no chance in hell) of unlocking Revan on 1st go, I'll keep grinding and farm them until Revan returns.

1) Paid staff $$
2) Development team - they don’t work for free
But is this a money grab, sure it is
Put it behind a hard node and people will pay to get it the easier way ...
We are lazy ... 🤣🤣🤣
Oh wait ... this game doesn’t care abt the time line as demonstrated ... so yup 😡
