CG, since it's clear your intention is to simply nerf anything but a mirror that can beat Malak, given the quick Malak rework and now the ominous tone regarding the recently reworked Anakin, I just would like to know how long we have to allow Malak to keep winning in arena before we are actually allowed to play against him?
@CG_Carrie - I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

After all of this - and maybe more to come with more jedis being introduced or touched up-
Maybe they should just revert back to the Finn loop. Just have multiple teams beating each other - the diffeeence being what holds the best. That’s the meta - I drop less with this squad.
Exactly one week after you unlock him
We’re not even allowed to ask yet.
This Old Republic nonsense is the most expensive annoying thing to happen to this game.
Now with that being said...I hated the JKR mirror match meta cause it was way to slow for battles...I’m fastly starting to hate the DarthRevan/Malek meta as well...sure the battles are fast...despite having faster mods I see my team losing a lot on offense.
Arena has turned into a coin toss and it’s not fun. Here I am trying to save crystals cause I get rank 1 everyday...and I’m having to refresh arena 3 times a day because of Rng oriented ****.
This game isn’t fun at all anymore.
Lol - I think you're missing my point. They didn't go around nerfing everything that players used to beat JKR like they are now. This micro-managing by "reworks" and direct and indirect nerfs is a new low - even for CG.
There was a time in this game's history when strategic and innovative play and good theorycrafting was rewarded. Now it's punished by nerfs, as CG has decided to prescribe play and directly manipulate players' ability to play the game.
Honestly, I'm thinking about simply renaming my account "CG's Puppet" - because that's all we are. We either play the game the way they want - or they simply nerf us to force us to do so.
Example:
CG: "Farm MORE Kotor for DR + Malak"
Players: "No, thank you, some of us don't like Kotor, so we'll figure out ways to beat him instead."
CG: **Nerfs Palpatine/Triumverate teams vs. Malak** - oh, but refunds gear for those who had DR and Sass, since they followed orders.
Players: "Well, thank you for reworking Anakin, the Chosen One, we'll try him"
CG: "No..you won't"
I mean seriously, what's next? Is CG just going to fight my fleet and arena battles for me? And just tell me whether I won or lost based on whether or not I used the "allowed" characters or not?

He hasn't been unbeatable yet to ftp.
Considering they are refunding now...malak owners should have his dominance extended for time lost.
True, at least with JKR you could use a couple other teams (CLS Rebels and JTR Resistance) to beat him. It wasn't super consistent, but could be done. If they go through with an Anakin nerf then there'll be nothing to compete with DR/Malak teams; it'll be mirrors only.
To be fair, they have never liked when players figure out a way to best their new $$ content without buying the new $$ toys. Remember nute and the jawas?
The fact is whales pay the bills but they don't keep the game alive. Its having 10 million or whatever people all participating in what is supposed to a contest of skill.
Once that is compromised and the player base is fooled 1 too many times it's over and the game folds. It has happened to every skinner box game before now (evony, marvel contest of champions, etc) and it is happening to this one.
The 5 year plan is meaningless since no development team has ever proven competent enough to create a game that new players are willing to invest in but that doesn't alienate the 3-4-5 year veterans.
Some day soon, Jedi Luke will get released, he will be impossible to obtain without $$, he will one shot any and every toon, then 6 months later he will get re-released, nerfed, and 2 months later the game will shut down once the very last of the whales has been harvested for its blubber.
This game started out with integrity and they waited almost 2 years longer than any game before to start the greedy endgame cash grab, so for that I thank CG, but now they're pretty much like all the rest.
your move CG, prove me wrong!
prove him right actually. This would be acceptable compensation for the disgrace of having old characters beat him since release.
only instead of coin flip...just let it be decided the usual way.
This is kind of the crux of the matter and it's depressing. No longer is innovation and resourcefulness appreciated...just cash.
And, if preferable, you can answer on Twitter though.
GK/Zarris and NS both could, since that was pre-Chewbacca and pre-C3P0. There were probably others as well.

agreed.
They should have this all worked out prior to releasing the marquee and beginning the countdown.
DR allowed for too much time where more ftp got him than they would have liked and it's been a mess ever since.
When CG decides they’ve made as much money as they can. So most likely it will be the second go around of Malak and Darth Revan.
Morale of the story is that unless you spends thousands on this game, you will always be left disappointed
“We got you bae.” - CG
They always kept arena on its own, no matter how silly it was. JKR was immediately beaten by Nightsisters and they said paper zombie is an ok strategy until it interfered with PvE content like Sith Raid.
They let zFinn stay for so long and the HK droid meta for 2-3 years even if they destroyed every single meta, even Traya
We’ve had tons of shiny toys immediately beaten by obscure toons or other meta teams and they never cared, so why micromanage squad arena now? The best part about squad arena is that you can run any mix of team no matter how broken and it’s legal
