Dark Side: You know where this is going...

Certainly not the first post on this but perhaps, with a slice of luck, it could be the last.

Firstly, we must start with what we all knew was coming: the CLS invasion. It was inevitable. I myself unlocked him this time and rushed him to gear 11. Without a doubt a force to be reckoned with. No brainer.

I myself, and a decent percentage of the player base, are Dark Side enthusiasts. So despite JTR and CLS giving us two meta bashing toons, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a gun in arena as we get picked off daily. Cannon fodder, almost.

I've been farming like a maniac on gaining the Empire toons that could, potentially, put up a decent run for their money. However, as we know, shoretrooper and co. are horrific farms. Baze has company. So our ability to compete as we alter to a more powerful team has become a huge issue.

Sure, we could throw the towel in with the 'if you can't beat them, join them' philosophy, but that should never need to be the case. I know there are some fantastic dark side characters in game but the synergies the light side has and abilities they possess simply tend to smash the dark side into submission.

How do we fix this? Good question! It's one that'll take time to resolve. But one thing we need as loyal dark side users is this: a reassurance (preferably not too cryptic, lol) this will be addressed once the character influx from TLJ is all but complete. This is where we can put this to bed, once and for all.

I ask EA/CG to answer one question. I'll keep it fun;

Is it time for the dark side... To end?

Happy New Year, everyone! May the Force be with you, always...
  • I'm slowly working to unlock Wompa. Not entirely sure what team he'll fit best but I have time to work it out :smile:

    Very true. I've managed 3 shoretrooper shards this year and had a little more joy with Krennic. Maxed Nihilus who was a crazy chore.

    I think reworks on the factions and toons many have suggested, a few meta changing big guns and a rise in players giving them a spin we could see a far more even balance in the horizon :smile:
  • Thanks for all the comments. Every post here I hope brings this topic more into focus.

    I think a simple comment from the developers reassuring us dark side folk things will improve would be beneficial. Most of my guild run light side but many would transfer over with reworks and their favourite toons added. I get that mixed teams can work in arena but the higher teams in my shard are light side heavy to 100% light side. Mercifully Thrawn brings some joy but maybe with Wompa (I'm on it) and future meta dark side toons we can run fully viable teams sooner rather than the marathon farms of shore and death.
