  • Is the grind to 85 punishment for not liking the arena tournament?

    You nailed it.

    Let's say it will unlock and has 5 characters similar to Stage 7.

    Rex
    Sun Fac
    Tusken Shaman
    Maul
    Cody

    One can hope.
  • Rumor has it there's exploits available in ships.
    Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb!
  • $5 says droideka is the raid reward!!!!

    Maul? What.

    But yeah, replace maul with Zam maybe and I like the sound of this.

    New challenge tiers? Please include stun cuffs and stun guns.

    Cantina stage 8? Please include at least one of the premium Clone Troopers.

    Will level 9 abilities cost 5 omegas as well? And please use this as an opportunity to make some lesser used characters more relevant via ability upgrades.

    +1

    Ohhhh you might be right. Think I remember seeing R2 in a dev video. I think I'd prefer droideka even though all droids are DS thus far
  • Cantina 7 didnt add 5 p2p characters and neither will Cantina 8.. we will rather see characters which are only obtainable on hard-notes so far.
  • I'm sure we'll see 1 or 2 toons at cantina level 8... but my guess it will be 20 energy per battle :(

    Ditto, with a level cap increase comes a rebalancing of all areas. Why? A level 85 in a previously level 80 or less area. Cakewalk right? Nope. It must be scaled to be viable with the new level cap, and still be doable by lower, or exclude the lower etc. Anddddd as much as some will say, "but wait, they will need the new gear, that will take time". Yep, you're right. But, bank on some hitting 85 as fast as possible. If gear doesn't restrict levelling many will hit 85, several minutes after loading the new update. Now, Arena, GW, PVE, all have to be rebalanced. And here is where it gets sticky. Will 85 have new levels of damage/buff/debuffs to existing skills? New omegas? New levels of Omegas, like tier 8, where previously 7 was max? Or will they pull a fast one, and reduce the effectiveness of the lower end, and move the current levels to 85, and not re-balance anything, since it already is? So will you need to get to level 85 to regain what you had at 80? (My prediction is this will be the outcome, hope I'm wrong).

    Bad bad bad..this is bad..

  • Realistically we'll get:

    Darth Maul
    General Veers
    Hoth Rebel Soldier
    Urururur
    FOTP
  • Rumor has it there's exploits available in ships.

    what kind of exploits?
  • I'm sure we'll see 1 or 2 toons at cantina level 8... but my guess it will be 20 energy per battle :(

    The rate of cantina energy cost increase isn't sustainable. At some point they'll have to rework the cost.
  • Can we get to play as AAT? it can be easy to defeat and occupy 2 spots on the 5 man team like 1 behind the other....or better yet 4 spots + 1 more unit, no pvp breaker just fun ^^

    what are ships? I'm new

    They're like flying rooms.

    But whats in the rooms? more character shards? new currency?

    Hopefully tacos.

    Sorry, wasn't sure if you were trolling at first. Ships will be an upcoming feature where we earn shards and fight with ships just like heroes. We'll also be able to equip gear, assign pilot/co-pilot etc.

    E.g. "I just got the last few millenium falcon shards and 7 star'd that B homes. Time to assign pilots and farm for gear."

    WOW that sounds like an entirely new game to be honest that would be sick.

    Tacos have that effect on people.

    @Cashavelli do you mean this one?

    And one more thing: in addition to this update, the development team has already been hard at work on our biggest update yet which will feature (wait for it)…

    Ships! *drops mic*

    I kind of think that reads like the ships are something they're working on and not related to tournaments. That's just a friendly suggestion to not set your expectations to see ships in the next two weeks. I'm trying to help us pace ourselves. Because, I mean, I may or may not be drooling just thinking about ships as I type.

    I think you're right. And i'm equally as excited.

    But they did push the some of the game data already, plus the timing of the announcement is just strange if it wasn't going to go live in the short-mid term.
  • Rumor has it there's exploits available in ships.

    That's it! Nerf the ships! Now!
  • I wouldn't expect ships until December which if the new content is decent, is fine. 2 months to play around w new levels and raid mechanics.

    The dual currency was worth the added wait, not only for the guild conflict but also gives people two things to do in the guild.

    Tier 6,7 mods were mentioned as rewards in the new raid before, not sure if it was an official statement though.

    Or is it good marketing? Haha. either way, it unnecessary because I'm wild about ships, whenever they do come out. I hope you're write and it's super soon, but for now we're just speculating. :) May we both have awesome dreams of epic space combat between Star Wars ships tonight.

    Prolly like Star Trek Timelines has, pvp in ships.
  • Will we stop getting the 1 Omega daily while leveling from 80-85, or will we still get that upon completing the daily tasks?
  • I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Maybe its the fact that I have been drinking or the fact that RNG has not been kind to me, I just don't see this working out like the rainbow and unicorns they are making it out to be.

    R2 shards and new gear required to advance past level 80 i can see,

    What I don't see is them doubling the other rewards we get from the Rancor raid.

  • Here's a bunch of new stuff that costs credits but you still earn the same amount as before
