So, yeah, it wouldn't shock me, given the history of this "leadership" team.

I wouldn’t call it a lie. I trust they are working towards that. But it’s not just any variety. They want a very specific variety, almost certainly involving some brand new characters that we will need to invest in. It’s seeming like this plan is very important for them and they can’t let other teams get in the way...

Please don't nerf Anakin, CG. His new relevance is widely welcomed and appreciated. He's arguably the most important character in Star Wars, he NEEDS to be powerful.

Oh, okay - then technically it's not a lie....they're just playing the game for us. :D

If they I going to prescribe play and manipulate the meta directly like that, there will be many people leaving this game than there are now - and it will be whales, dolphins and f2p alike.

I think people are missing the point. NO character should have an aoe that does 100k+. That wipes out pretty much every non-tank in one shot just about. How the heck is that good for the game??

He only does that to DR teams because of ferocity. If you're going to make a point, at least base it on facts please.

How would it be different than anything else they do? Every time they release or change a kit they are doing it with a goal in mind of how that character will fit into the overall game. There is no such thing as not manipulating the meta.

Just be real for a minute. No f2p character should ever wipe out the newest p2w team. Ive had my ani gear 12 for a long time. I have DR and Malak.... i spent next to nothing on malak as im one of those crazy fools who has most of the kotor at gear 12. (Working on t3 last one, two pieces left) (i did spend a bit on his gear, but i had some of that saved up since DR dropped)

Now imagine if i had spent $500+ on gear for kotor and maybe $200 or more on malak gear.... id be pissed something ive had gear 12 for 8 months could level it.

Now imagine you as a developer want me to spend money like that or more.... would you really do nothing?

Ps im running JKR with no bastila and adding in Anakin for now. So do i care what they do.... nope, but i cant pretend that i would not understand it

Anakin Damage haven’t changed except for the 75% to 100% on extra turn.
What has changed is the awful auto-expose that made the character less useful than now.

The extra % from JKA and the overall buffs from the team make his Damage up.

Anakin has around 7.2k base damage and GMY has 9k on their basics. With the JKA lead and buffs Yoda makes 50k, so it’s no surprise Anakin makes 40k.

Anakin still has 56k Health +Protección before mods which is not a great amount.

This is simply not true. There are multiple screen shots of the damage multiploer being changed significantly on this forum. Thats responsible for the insane damage (combined with the various other circumstances).
Why are you writing something that is not true?

Toons have to be tweaked and yes its fine if a F2P character can dominate. Yoda, EP, Nihilus, even Revan now, etc. The way for DR to beat Anakin is to kill Anakin first. Problem solved. DR Will roll them on O. But a team may not hold on D and that is fine too.

But the main thing is this: Toons have to be tweaked and tweaked quickly and often to keep balance. Revan was a nuclear bomb when released and will always be so until he is limited somehow.

I'm assuming they are about to release/tweak a whole bunch of Jedi and and I literally dont see how they can do it well and make them balanced considering Revan. They will become even more swiss army knives than BH - and have access to the most powerful lead in the game. So they will be swiss army nukes. I just personally think he needs to be limited.

Will people complain? Yes. We have learned people complain about literally EVERYTHING - even free stuff. Bite the bullet, limit his lead and be done with it. The rational should be the exact same they used for HK. There are a couple of KOTOR 2 Jedi they can release to compliment him and allow him to have a full team (or allow it to apply more to Mission, Z and the other non-jedi OR toons). But allowing that lead to apply to one of the largest factions in the game that is about to get a (much needed) relevancy rework pass is just going to amplify the problem that he already is.

IMHO.
