Datacrons will be the death of this game
All the years you spend working to build a team and modding them is made redundant in 5 mins of applying the meta datacron.
What’s the point in grinding a year for a new GL when a single R5 tarkin can wipe the floor with you?
CG - you are destroying this game with these stupid things

The people that played before GLs must have been thinking the same thing when the first ones came out
Sadly not. I’ve been in kyber 2 since the new changes and always come up against them every round
I think a better analogy would be the July 2021 nerf. GLs didn't make JKR stop countering GG or whatever other GAC counters were common back then. The July 2021 nerf was far less impactful on the meta than DCs (imo), and that was met with quite a bit of salt.
The meta outside of the current factions that are affeted by datacrons doesnt really change tho. My point was that when GLs came out they were stronger than the rest and made a hard defense or a offense free win, like that one character that gets boosted to heaven with datacrons (yes, there are more than one).
Sucks when you have no counter against them, but what other teams do against other teams doesnt really matter here.
You are comparing apples and oranges.
- GLs are permanent.
- They require a long time of farming and gearing of other characters.
- Then you have to grind again for the Ultimate including the ticket farm
- They require good mods, aswell as the toons that are used with them, so again a long time of farming/building.
- Every player has a similar chance of getting them.
- Their strength is not dependent on luck or RNG (maybe if you count the mods in, but they do not make a GL absolutely OP or garbage)
- Once you have them, every player can use them without limitations.
- Until last year's big nerf, there were enough non GL counters, so even people without a GL had a chance of beating them.
- DCs are not permanent.
- They are available right at release
- They are completely usable right at release if the mats are bought or after 1-2 weeks if you farm.
- Not every player has a similar chance of getting them/the mats.
- RNG or luck decide their strength (making them totally OP or garbage)
- Once you have them, their usability is gated/limited by Relic levels
- There are not enough or no counters to certain DCs, so even people with a GL don't always have a chance of beating them.
- Every player has a similar chance of getting the good datacrons too. Chances for you arent lower than they are for me
- DC require the character farm too. Tarkin happens to be a free one, but who is gonna have Nightsister Initiate at R7 and have a fitting team for her (or have some trash to activate the L6 bonus)?
- I can use dcs without limitation too. I just need to have them.
- DCs not being permanent is why they are okay. What are you going to do with that tarkin or nightsister initiate once the dcs expires? Not much i would say
- point 2 and 3 are perfectly fine.
- If you say not every player has the same chance to get the mats (which i assume refers to top players or/and whales vs low GP players), you cant say that a free to play player has a similar chance at making progress against a whale. Sure you will get there, but the whales 700-crystals a day (GAC and fleets) will be much shorter than the 150 crystals chromium guy.
- point 5 is also okay. The thing is its frustrating to get nothing as F2P while others get the good stuff
- The set literally has the counter to itself with dodge/accuracy. And there are more than enough teams to prevent turn meter gain
Most of the forum disagrees with you.
Just my 2¢
People in my guild argue about datacrons. Take a bow. You support the worst thing to ever come to this game
I’ve fallen from Kyber 1 to Kyber 4 now. Still seeing people with more Datacrons than I have. 6 GLs to 2 evens out the odds though.
Good to see my grinding for 4 extra GLs and grinding for years for mods still serves some purpose. 🙄
I've written you an answer, edited for typo. It disappeared here because it "has to be approved", I hope @Ultra can do so.
The worst to who?
lol, I have many powerful DCs. But not so many characters meeting the relic threshold. That's a BIG limitation for F2P. Wanna use the Uber NS Initiate/MoMa/VetHan/Dash etc. DC? Get the character to Relic7...lol...oh btw, the other characters also need to be at least relic5...double lol...
But thats a F2P vs Whale problem, isnt it?
I also have 6 GL, haven't spent on DCs, and have gone from the very bottom of K1 to a little higher in K1. You can't place the blame for falling four divisions on DCs.
What's your gg?
OR... people quit the game because of them. Don't discount the 3rd option simply because it's not an option you'd consider.
Also, anything in the past that isnt a Datacron is a false equivalency. Relic introduction has no more to do with datacron implementation than CG introducing an Assault Battle for the Inquisitors has to do with fleet loadouts.
That's a fun game... "Plenty of people have quit after [insert new thing to the game here] arrived. It was the last straw for them."
I remember when Plenty of people have quit after mods arrived. It was the last straw for them.
Just like Michael Scott tried, declaring something doesn't make it happen.
