Capital Games TeamThese look like good changes and I'm interested in seeing how they play out. My biggest complaints about the Era system still exist though:
It's impossible to max out your potential level without spending. That is, a 4 star characters have a max level of 75 but you can't get Zerek mats without taking at least one character to 5 star--which has a maximum level of 85--but that isn't obtainable unless you spend real money, etc. That was not well telegraphed up front at all.
Similarly, I was gut-punched to unlock Maul only to see him stuck around level 50 due to his event not giving enough leveling mats. I had to take up my entire roster to 5 star and do Maul's 5 star mission to get enough mats to actually use the character. Now I find myself in the spot where I have taken everyone except Darth Vader to 5 star (DV is at 4 star) and I'll have one character stuck at level 74 due to lack of Mark VII cores. Throwing out so many new, different currencies feels like it was intentionally done to confuse your playerbase and create exactly these frustrating situations in hopes that it would cause purse strings to loosen and it's, frankly, scummy.
Bottlenecks are fine, but you need to clearly advertise what I'm getting for my crystals.
