Reworked Geos, wow... but why should i farm/gear them
The new Geos are awesome 😎 well done CC
But why, why should i farm/gear them if i can blow them up with an totally undergeared Jawa squad?
Another squad just for offense?
It's not like the NS like you told us. 👎👎👎👎👎👎

This and what is wrong with another offensive squad?
Some teams are really meant to be PvE squads.
Nothing is wrong with another offensive squad... i love the new geos do be honest, even if they can't beat the Acklay 🤷♂️
But CC told us that the new Geo are viable like the NS and that's absolutely not true.
It's just good on offense but it xxxxxx (i don't write the word i woudl like to) on defense.
I mean it is not ok if you have a g13 brood alpha or more g13 geos and you can beat them with a g9/10/11 jawa squad.
I don't thin they ever said viable. Here are the quotes from the "developer insights":
And here is what they said about TW/GA:
Jawas seem like a faction that was not on their radar but nowhere in their quotes did they say this would be viable (which, to me, sounds like you're saying Arena viable). They specifically said "many mid-tier squads" for defense and "some of the harder squads" on offense.
Besides, Jawas aren't exactly a common team that many folks have ready to go. It's not something I'd worry about when deciding whether or not to gear the Geonosians.
But it is super frustrating if a squad you never used can beat them like if they are nothing.
Maybe we will get some new geos and they will fix that "problem"
... maybe zombie geo, that would be awesome 🐜🐜🐜
First, they vastly improved an underutilized faction to make it viable enough for PVP on top of being required for the new TB (making many in the community happy). Second, one of this newly revitalized faction's hard counters is another very underutilized faction. This means that players will have reasons to put resources into both squads (probably making CG money)
I think you are reading too much into the statement, they were describing the synergy they were giving them, to be like NS, not the game play/viability and certainly nothing about specifics regarding their defensive position in GA/TW. They are describing the close nit "tribal" feel of the synergy they gave them, just like NS, a team designed to be primarily only units with that tag.
Gotcha,
Like i said, i love the rework. It's really fantastic!!!!
But i am/was a bit frustrated that a squad of g9 noobs can beat them.
I'm still looking forward and hope that we get maybe a new geo 🧟♀️🐜🦟 what will fix that unexpectedly "bug"
You can find some on youtube
Note: this is not G9 Jawas beating G12 Geonosians. The Jawas are G10, G11 x3, G12.
You don't even need that high of gear shown in the video. Shard mate showed another one of all g8/9 & a g10 nebit doing the same thing.....
Against a G12 or higher set of Geonosians? The ones in the video barely survived long enough for the detonators to do their work.
Yes was all g12 in the vid I saw (granted it didn't show mods), so they could have been unmodded for all I know).
That's... disturbing.
Apparently NS wreck G13 sith empire on offense. Who knew??
This is the seeds of a mixed meta. I hope they don't rework the Jawa (or if they do, make sure that the text is completely clear, though they'll probably get whines about that, too. Too complicated! vs. UNCLEAR!"). We'll still always see legendary or similar squads in the main top spots, but if they slowly start to introduce a bunch of teams that are effective under some situations but have vulnerabilities, they can work their way up more carefully-- especially if you have things like separatists leading into Padme, and how the empire/rebel/jedi/sith/FO/resistance etc. stuff works for the KOTOR characters (and before, CLS; I'm not sure where JTR sits arena-wise but given her powerhouse performance in Hsith P1, I think having one top tier be PVE focused is just fine).
So if they're smart, they'll go, "Huh, okay, sure, that works-- it looks like other teams X, Y, and Z will still stomp them, so it's just a part of a larger circle." Tweak where necessary.
There's going to be some problems with this on older shards where everyone has everything because of years of playing, but those are the very people who _can_ test this stuff at top end. Meanwhile, people rolling out of the Four Pillars and into the larger world will have a broader range of available choices, especially as they fill out for TW, TB, and GAC. I don't see a downside.
But this is just an opinion...
