Datacron Set-4 Infinite Loop, WAI?!?
Not sure who to tag in this, assuming anyone from CG ever actually reads/responds to genuine concerns, but: Wasn't CG's position always that "infinite loop" scenarios were bad for the game and NOT a ...

Yep, they really need to address this. Just fought a EP led LV, Thrawn, Tarkin and Piett. Stuck in an infinite time loop where Tarkin just keeps going and going and going until the match times out (much like the energizer bunny except this isn't funny). Maybe some thought by the Devs to the effects provided by the DC would be helpful prior to unleashing them on the community. Plus don't have them apply to GLs
Seems like CG are just going to go radio silent and avoid dealing with any issues that arise from any DataCon sets, it's like they've perfected testing-free releases!
They already addressed it by saying they aren't going to adjust OP datacrons because they are temporary. You can not like that stance, but that is their stance on the subject.
That's a bit different from this current issue raised however. While CG may not change datacrons which are "OP", that have always stated that mechanisms that cause infinite TM gain or turns etc are not intended are are usually fixed relatively quickly because of their impact. I would say having a toon take infinite turns until the match times-out is a glitch rather than "OP"
While they have always come out quickly to say they didn't want the loop, it has not always been quick fixes. And also those have all been kit related. From their perspective, why would they spend time on this (it would be a lot of time, because they would have to change the datacron and then refund some stuff and that always takes them forever) when it's going to go away in less than 90 days? It could be 30 days before they even have a fix and compensation ready.
