Has CG giving an answer yet as to why they completely disregarded Cad Bane and Zam for the BH rework??

Yeah, dude, they said it day one: They're doing the original trilogy Bounty Hunters first because Solo's coming out and it's set in the original trilogy timeframe.

Sometimes one can shout and shout and shout and some still never hear.

I don’t see why everyone is so upset with the bounty hunter rework and the BH event. My BHs aren’t the greatest right now, so I can’t even beat the paploo stage, but I think it’s great. It gives us the ability to get more shards of some very hard to get characters. Sure, they made it difficult, but look at the rewards. Plus, I think the reworks are great. Bounty hunters have been pretty worthless so far. I’m glad to see them becoming worthwhile. It looks like they could be really effective with just one zeta, too. Also, having the different contracts for each leadership ability (with different activation requirements) will allow you to use the same five characters to create very different overall effects for different areas of the game.

It's a matter of your point of view. The folks who are upset think they must do all content, and by adding a monthly shard heist they feel now they're being forced to farm characters they don't want. The folks who aren't upset are looking at the events and thinking--FINALLY! A reason to work on Bounty Hunters!

I kind of feel for new players - you would be missing out on a lot of stuff, with little chance to 'much' of it for what, a year maybe, more? No advice for them other then focus on one team at a time...

For everyone else, I totally agree. It has been clear for a while that all factions will get re-worked, all factions will have things attached to them - it may not be evenly distributed - but right, even Jawa's got a mod farm location and a bone thrown to them for the HAAT.

Rumors of a BH re-work have been circulating since the Solo movie first came to light.

This is nothing new. Heavily needs is a GG and seperatist rework, and also a jedi rework (possibly with countering republic reworks and adds)
^^^ This is going to happen. If you people care, they'll gamble on one or the other and give them a little love. Personally, with the new DS Sith, DS EP meta, and the DS BH rework, I got this feeling we'll get some LS Jedi love soon. (Note Ground assault was changed from Res to Jedi.... consider it a quasi official hint that it's going to happen. Maybe start off with the Jedi council and work back from there? I think so!

Thermal detonators are a joke as well

They're not for g10/g11 bounty hunters unless you have g11 Bossk. I have g12 zBoba and g11 others and couldn't come close to either. Maybe with enough tries and near-perfect rng you could complete IPD - but not Wampa.

With all the shard shop currency from this past weekend, I just take my 20 Paploo shards and 100 crystals and be content.

As always, the event description states the recommended requirements. For example, IPD node states "TOUGH BOUNTY (G10+)". Clearly, having your Bounty Hunters at 7 star is implied... but to have a chance at completing the node you will need to have your Bounty Hunter's at G10 or better.

The Wampa node clearly indicates "DEADLY BOUNTY (G11+)".

The point here is this, Gear 9 Bounty Hunters are not likely to be successful without a perfect RNG scenario falling your way.

What's your speed like on them? Also, do you have your BH's optimized with loads of Potency under that Boba lead?

Not much speed (I think Boba is only like 211). They are all modded for potency, of course.

It's fine though. I know I have the wrong mix (had to run with Zam and Cad as my Dengar is way under geared). And switching mods around isn't worth the hassle to me. As long as they don't change the requirements to Jedi next time the event comes around, I'll know what to focus on if I want to. ;)

I couldn’t touch the IPD mission before Bossk was released. Now I can beeeze through the IPD mission. With a G9 Greedo and G8 4* Dengar. Wampa still tough as hell.

I don't even understand why this rework was done in this manner what point does this serve?

What a kitten event - sorry, I am happy to have left for Marvel Strike Force...
