C3P0 Nerf or not??

nerf announcement will happen precisely in 3 days and 17 hours.I'm not a psychic or anything, but that is exactly when the 3PO event ends. This way CG can maximize return on the event. If anybody in CG has at least one chest hair, they will mention the nerf now so people can make informed decisions about spending or not.

Nerf mentioned

It's not a infinite loop.
Leave it alone.

i like my idea best simply change finn's leader totally and refund all mats to the player (zeta included) and then said player can choose to move forward with finn or use on someone else

My vote is for keeping Finn the same, change Traya.

Specifically give Traya 1% stacking tenacity per hit whilst toppled.

YOU SEE THIS DEVS?!

FYI...I already know how to break it again. Just calling my shot here. Look for my next big video in January after they fix this loop... ?

If you break it again they'll just fix it again, meaning another nerf to some character everyone's built based on the old kit.

Better to share your proposed strat here so they can pre-empt it and we don't all waste resources on another team to get nerfed.

Hacker’s mentality. Successfully figuring out how to break the game is infinitely more fun for me than actually playing it. And I like playing the game. So I don’t care if they fix it. The theorycrafting is what is fun for me, not using the method after I’m done.

The Characters are way too complicated, interaction are too complicated. When do you learn your lesson, CG/EA?

Hi folks, FYI I've just posted something in the dev news about this topic that should help clear up any confusion.

Firstly: Sincere thanks to @CG_SBCrumb for coming out quickly and clarifying that there WILL be a change made to the interactions with C3PO at some point in the new year

Secondly: Does that mean it's just the Finn interaction you take issue with, and that squads with JTR & C3PO (or any other leader I guess) are working as intended? Or are you still looking at that?

Thirdly: PLEEEEEASE can CG focus any fixes on the abilities/uniques etc. that have been given to C3PO (or any future new characters that have issues) and NOT on altering/nerfing the long-standing (and working just fine) abilities/leadership/uniques etc. of characters such as Finn & JTR - Bugs/issues happen, we get it, sh** happens, fine, no problem...but don't fix the problems generated by new characters by changing long-standing well used characters that players have spent considerable time and effort not only farming/levelling/gearing/modding but also fine-tuning their gameplay and tactics with and also getting many other characters farmed/levelled/geared/modded up to go into squads alongside them to make use of their particular abilities strengths/weaknesses etc. If you need to go back to the drawing board on the abilities/uniques/limitations/etc of a NEW character such as C3P0 then fine, go back, make changes, get it right, and release an update for it to the small number of players who've got that new character and who now know that there is a fix/change of some sort headed in its direction, but DON'T ruin many months of 'existing' character(s) & game investment by hundreds of thousands or more players just so that you can keep 1 shiny new toy unchanged.
(Similarly I'm pretty sure all at CG have seen waaay too much grief and moaning about the Sith Raid already, so making fundamental mechanics changes to that raid which will negatively affect huge numbers of squads just to combat the interaction from 1 new character is an idiotic way to go about things when sorting out the mechanics/abilities of that 1 new character is what really needs to be done!)

I’m concerned with their testing. Literally within a day of release, videos were posted of solo efforts. CG needs to hire some better theory crafters? Or give back the test accounts to game changers? This is twice now the CGs obvious lack of understanding character interactions and game mechanics has come back to bite us. I’m disappointed again because however they nerf the problem is going to break other functions of the game because apparently they can’t change how someone works with a particular raid boss and one toon.

Yes, they definitely need to use the players for testing if they (as seems the case) do not have the skill or manpower to test new characters themselves. I'd have thought they'd welcome test account feedback from a number of players prior to a full in-game release of major new characters or game modes. Certainly the players would welcome the fact that it should lead to less post-release issues, and given the right agreements with CG and the player-testers it could also be used to allow for some more interesting pre-release or on-release character demonstration videos
