Hello Holotable Heroes,
Over the past 2 years, we have released many Marquee Characters without re-evaluating the way shards are acquired via the pack and bundle.
As we discussed in the Road Ahead blog, we have been evaluating the release method of these characters, starting with the Emperor’s Shuttle that launched this week. And now starting with the launch of the Droideka, while we are launching it in the classic Marquee style, we are changing the traditional bundle to include crystals and adding a new mega pack that will allow players to increase Droideka’s star rarity with fewer crystals compared to the standard marquee, akin to other mega packs. Below are the changes:
Marquee Bundle
- Bundle price will be changed from $9.99 to $19.99 (USD)
- All Marquee Bundle items/currencies remain the same
- 1350 Crystals will be added to the bundle
- This is the number of crystals yielded from the $9.99 (USD) Box of Crystals (plus 10 crystals to offset the additional penny)
Standard Marquee Pack
New Marquee Mega Pack
- Crystal cost is 2599
- Shards range from 15-330
- Odds will be disclosed on the website and called out in the patch notes at the time of release
Although these changes will be for Droideka, we may continue to make more changes or no changes for subsequent Marquee events. Per the character cadence, we will communicate any changes ~2 weeks prior to the event.

It had been confirmed before in GC videos.
They have altered the deal, pray they don't alter it further.
CG "we heard you don't like marquee characters! We have reevaluated marquee character releases and have determined the best way to improve them is to double the price of the character bundle!"
Bad move CG...
24€ for 30 shards? Even with crystals it's not worth it in any way.

I didn't realize their own forum was a different website O.o
B1 will be the first Marquee character since Carth on Dec. 1st......that's over 2 months ago. We've had the 4 new OR characters that were Marquees and that's it since Jango on Sept. 20th. I'd hardly call that being "overloaded" with Marquees. They've almost never released new characters through stores other than ones like HY and Wampa in the GEC store and those are hardly easily farmable. We could always go back to the old days and release new characters through tournaments or just for sale in packs....I'd much rather be given a 3* for doing nothing but auto'ing a couple easy missions.
I'm completely at a loss here
You didn't read to the end of the post....where it says: "Although these changes will be for Droideka, we may continue to make more changes or no changes for subsequent Marquee events. Per the character cadence, we will communicate any changes ~2 weeks prior to the event."
So, yeah, future ones might have this....but they might not.
