Given that we're seeing some really effective use of C3P0 in the HAAT and HSTR raids, and historically that has tended to end up with EA "fixing" (i.e. nerfing even though chars were doing what the text said!) Characters and their abilities and/or synergies can we please get some confirmation NOW as to whether those who invest in Ewoks and gearing of C3P0 are going to be then hit with a frustrating character nerf?? We don't want to be getting told this AFTER we've all invested in it as if it was some sudden shock to the devs in a couple months time! UPDATE: Crumb has posted saying that there will be a fix of some sort coming in the new year, his post is here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/190450/c-3po-finn-and-phase-3-of-the-sith-raid#latest

Then in that case I'll ask for a zeta refund for Finn.

Yup it will be nerfed and then we'll be back to a dozen+ restarts in the god awful p3 design and wasting time manually doing haat. Joy.

And just like Critolyte, they'll Nerf the wrong character.Instead of fixing their shiny new Traya, they dumped on Acolyte instead.They'll wreck zFinn lead ability instead of admitting they didn't test C-3PO enough. Which will cause more issues across the board by affecting all the other modes where zFinn works just fine.

I think they will just tweak the raid and allow traya to stack extra potency while toppled or let her gain 1% turn meter each time she gets exposed. Easy fix and no toons get ruined

I honestly hope they will nerf C3PO, but not for any Sith raid reasons. I faced an Ewok team in my arena today, long time no see, usually cannon fodder. But now they had a G7 C3PO in the team... and they beat the *beeeeep* out of me! I would understand if he'd only be that viable with strong gear, but not this way. Plus, why does he have no synergy with other droids? I was hoping to be able to use him for a droid team in the long run, but he'd be completely wasted there.

Because other droids can't stand him. R2 left him alone in a desert and he knew him for 20+ years.

The simpler fix would be to change Traya, not zFinn or 3PO.

Give her stacking tenacity while toppled and it won't be an infinite loop anymore. Easy day. And no other current raid team really focuses on debuffs while Traya is toppled, so there would be minimal collateral damage.

That's a choice, not an error. It's not going to change.

That said, C-3PO is human-cyborg relations. He's not primarily focused on interacting with other droids. Also, he has pretty much every possible synergy with the only viable droid leader, JTR.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of half a55ed approach I'm worried about, especially since I only just Zeta'd my Finn in readiness for next JTR event.
It's not as if this is some sneak approach that people uncovered after weeks or months of trying stuff, we're 3 days into his existence! So if they did test things before release they should come out and say "it's fine, no changes/nerfs will occur" OR ASAP come out and say "we f'ed up, didn't test properly, and X will be changing in the next update" so people can decide whether to invests time & resources into chars before it's too late
