Baylan Initial Performance

I try and stay overtly positive towards this game, hence the reason why I play. With the announcement of Baylan Skoll and loving his character and Ray as an actor I decided to whale for the first time on this. So I’m sure this issue doesn’t affect many as of right now but some things just with some kits just can’t be seen on paper right away. The main core of Baylans kit is locked behind his omicrons and datacron. In squad arena testing his performance is lacking severely for being the newest epic confrontation unit. I understand grand arena will look different but I think it should be common for a character’s power to be determined in any game mode with omicrons boosting that power, not holding it. This is not a dig at CG or any dev, I appreciate their work on keeping this game strong for 9 years for us all.  Just things like him not being able to taunt at the start of battle without an omicron is crazy to me. So this post is nothing more than trying to bring awareness to an extremely lacking early non-omicron baylan performance and hoping to see change with how omicroned abilities are structured moving forward.

  • It's trash....all those words in kit for nothing. Gungans smoke them! One game mode toons belong in the garbage....along with their Levi" bullcrap.

      It gave me GI vibes for sure with just how long the kit was with little results. I’m always happy to provide any footage or notes to bring about a solid balanced change if possible cause this is definitely disappointing. 

  • I agree wholeheartedly I think this character is disappointing and not at all what we were promised which is unfortunate because of the energy Ray brought to a character we were seeing for the first time. I agree that too much of this characters power is locked behind omicrons and the massive offense and defense gains we were promised are simply not there. I also hope for a buff for this character.

      Yeah oversold seems like an understatement atm but hopefully we can see some positive change with honest feedback to the devs.

    It’s pretty astounding how bad he is, at least outside of gac, that part remains to be seen.

     

    but everything beats him by the look of it, hell id put money on Jawas torching him, and that’s not being facetious.   Absolutely unbelievable how undertuned he appears, I honestly wonder if the kits is bugged.

      I’m genuinely curious as well I hope it’s looked into. Jawas would absolutely roll him, you’d think he’s the type of character that wouldn’t be affected my max health damage but he’s weak to quite a lot of things.

    It’s not hyperbole to say that malak and gas are still currently both far superior toons, and are 3(?) years old, and were epic confrontations I believe? 

    Side note, their events were also both much better. This release was just plain lazy.
