I really don't get why everyone is so upset. Just farm the gear, what's the problem?
So you and everyone else will have Darth Revan at gear 8 for a few days rather than gear 12 immediately. I fail to see why that's making people angry.
Think people are just looking for a legitimate explanation....
*shrugs* Something different to farm from the Mk5 AK/K Stun Gun stuff? Sounds like a good reason to me.
Except he also requires 300 carabantis and 150 stun guns...
Stenun is the type of guy who takes a different, much longer route to work every other month for a nice change of scenery, He still has to get to work in time, but saving time and money is boring.
Jokes on us though at the end of the day. Some bell-end will pay for these gear pieces and ruin it for everyone. Yes i will use the term bell-end too because cg are now on clearly full on-board with EA and EA are well known for micto-transactions lately. There we go, EA love ruining their own games *cough* battle front *cough*
We’re not really asking to quit micro-transactions because sure you gotta pay for your 2019 Porche’s... however paywalls are just a no go.

So tbh I played over 800$ to have 7* and g8-9-10 the required toon for Darth revans journey.
Over $800???? Sounds like some poor decisions were made there. You could have had these characters up to that level for FAR cheaper than that. Darth Revan requirements were much less costly than Jedi Revan.
I'm going to hold off on being completely and totally angry about this until we find out whether or not they're part of the event.
I'm really hoping we get a post along the lines of: "we're future proofing for the diversity of future toons at the G8/9 levels, and as with previous high expectation events, we will be giving away premium gear, including these new items, as part of the reward package for final unlock."
As usual, their own terrible communication skills bring about the firestorm.
CG...I want to share a post from our Guild Chat that you need to see. This is from a player who rarely spends but contributes greatly. He agonized over whether he should invest in the Separatist reworks but ultimately decided to instead focus his farm and money into being prepared for Darth Revan. I can't speak for the player base at large, but I'm sure this is being echoed somewhere.
Well, I guess I’ll see how the Revan gear farm pans out tomorrow when Revan goes live. If indeed Revan requires specific, previously unavailable gear that has to be farmed, I hate to say it, but it will likely be the swan song for me guys.
I paid $80 for the two Old Republic store packs to be ready for Revan, which, for me, is a huge monetary investment. And now it appears that you won’t even be able to progress DR without extensive gear farming or possibly having to spend more money? Yeah, this just kills any remaining fun for me in this game.
Just poor. I know something was messed up so more people have got the necessary toons up to the correct star level but adding extra P2W stuff just for him...
Way to kill any enthusiasm that might have been building around this event.
No one wants to spend weeks farming more gear after spending weeks piling gear onto marginally useful OR toons.
At the very least, this should have been available the moment the event was announced. This will only served to escalate the prevailing Revan fatigue.
This is disgusting, you are seriously just going to drop this as a "oh by the way" the day before release. This is absolutely disgusting business practice and I really didn't expect this of CG. Dissapointed.
If you are going to add gear to the game do it as its own separate update. Dont just tack it on to an already growing paywall.

I wonder if it was a decision made this weekend due to more players possibly getting DR than what they expected? They have bosses to answer to as well 🤷🏼♂️
This is utter crap! Introducing a brand new piece of gear, that only 1 character in the entire game can use! And not to mention only hours/days before you bring out a JOURNEYS event! It's things like this that make me want to quit, and take my business elsewhere! Way to go CG! 😠
I'm just glad I didn't pay to unlock darth revan this time around, else I'd have to pay extra more. It's just sad that this is the stance to take. Should just make these new pieces of gear craft able from existing gear if you wanted those specific stats. Dirty way to close out your end of year balance huh?
Honestly the more i read these posts and think about this the angrier i get. The fact that they just drop this the day before the character release is so unbelievably scummy. I farmed like crazy to get the OR toons to 7* because DR is one of my favorite characters. Thanks for ruining any excitement i had for this release CG

I never said he didn't. Just that this new gear means he doesn't require 400 Carabantis ...

SAY NO TO PAYWALLS!
*disclaimer*
That’s if it’s been confirmed as a pay to earn.
Please read my comment above yours.

You should've made a puzzle to reveal the new gear pieces

Make this right.
Hahah. Nice 😬

You must be new here... or you're being sarcastic. Sarcasm is sometimes hard to detect in text form.

Still not a compliment.
Yeah, its the new trick of CG to Revanue
