How would that even work? They'd have to nerf the current omis, otherwise you are potentially doubling the power of teams in both PvP modes.

If you double the power of teams in PvP modes, on both sides, it's at least a neutral change for the participants. There are certainly combinations that would be very good, but if everyone is getting those buffs across the board it's not a competitive balance factor at least.

There's plenty of reasons.

Or not enough.

Some of those teams would become insanely strong. Imagine an SK team that had SK’s, Juhani’s, and MJ’s Omicrons all active. Or a Rey defense in GAC with Ben’s, Cal’s, and Fulcrum’s. Or the new GG Stap Omicron with Droideka.

Even without multi-Omicron teams, a sudden surge in defensive team strength is probably not an easy thing to adapt to. More oEmbo Jabba teams in GAC, stronger Malgus teams in TW, etc.

Everything mentioned sounds awesome, to be honest. Much better than the Datacrons they keep pumping out, in my opinion. But that's just me. I understand the concerns as legitimate.

so you want more reasons on top of the existing ones

ok

It’d be interesting to see, at least. And probably less absurdly broken then other things people would like to see (such as Ally slots for 6-character teams with 2 leader abilities, featuring Finn JTR (Zorii), Malgus DR, Jabba Boba, Leia Mothma, JML Bastila, and many more).

But still up there on the scale of “will be cool but definitely break things”.

I also responded saying they should just make them PVE omicrons. I’m fine with the GAC and TW crons, but there is too few chances to use the PVE omicrons. The raid omis are time limited, TB omis get only a few uses each TB and Conquest omis are only valuable in certain events.

Making the omicrons usable in all three modes would increase their value and might make me consider them more seriously. Having done some TB omicrons and the Boushh omicron, I don’t think they have enough value and I’m not really interested in any more PVE omicrons while they are so limited.

I can red crate each time, so I don't think I'd ever apply a conquest cron. What would it get me? Nothing more than I get right now.

I've seen a few suggestions in this thread around an omicron to make progression faster, but that would mean an ability on a character somehow having an effect outside of the battle part of the game (apart from kills/debuff/dodge type counting being double, which could be counted that way I guess). I don't see them doing anything like different stamina use or keycards or anything else that is not in-battle.

The character not being needed for feats of a future conquest would be another reason to not apply an omicron. So like someone else suggested, the cron making them count as all faction tags could help with that, but I highly doubt they would remove that particular spend incentive that these faction feats create.

I just don't see them adding anything that would make me use an omicron up this way. Not while omicron abilities are so abundant and the material is not, anyway.

As it is now, no thanks.

Give a toon on a key team (like JMK, Leia, Jabba, CLS, Inqs, or similar) an omicron which make the whole team not lose stamina or have the teams feat contribution triple. Then I'll think about it.

Totally Agree With you @DyloBin - I would like to add some more thoughts and Ideas. (I Apologize if anything said in the rest of the post was already shared)

Let's start off with the big red flag to me, If this is the possibility for future Conquest Omicron's coming to the game, and then those Omicrons being required to be able to make serious progress within Conquest. I believe a lot of the game will abandoned the whole event or just down right leave the game entirely. Myself personally would not take the event even remotely as serious.

The first and foremost major change I would like to see, but do not see it happening, is the removal of Conquest Omicron as a single entity. Instead, I would like to see most if not all of the Omicrons that are currently on characters to have an additional segment just to be active during Conquest.

Now the realistic hope;
Future Conquest Omicron's have a widespread effect. Not just a singular in-battle boost, that once the Omicron is active it has a stacking effect for the entirety of Conquest.
I.E. "After this is activated, whenever a Conquest is Active, the Players Conquest Energy recharges at a +3% rate"

"When this character is used in battle, upon Victory, this character does not lose protection. All Allies stamina reduction is reduced by 50%" - Instead of losing 10 stamina, all other characters used in battle with the Omicron character only lose 5 stamina.
