Datacron to play a much smaller role than they currently are.

They add game variation. Some of them are overturned, but you’re suggesting a massive nerf so that they’re basically useless. Datacrons reward players who invest, that’s the point.

OutrunWhistle​ As they should  be nerfed. There should be no reason for a datacron to have two "ENTIRE MODS SETS" worth of 6A Mods. That on top of give unobtainable stats that is only obtained through 1 primary than you have 3 to 4 passive abilities on top of that. That is a lazy gameplay feature and a weak accuse of cause my investment. These would be just fine without the stat stick portion. Where individuals would still invest in them anyways even if it's a minor advantage but there is no reason for them to be as effective as they are.

“No reason to be as effective as they are.”

Next you’ll be complaining that they should get rid of mods. Datacrons are like the next level above mods, but instead of individuals they make the whole team stronger. Do you get what I’m saying?

The fact that the *best* win rate against SLKR and his meta team with the current datacron is only 70% (and that's with a *very* souped up JMK squad, 200k+) is evidence enough that this particular datacron is absurdly overpowered.

There shouldn't be any one team that can beat literally everything else in the game. You can disagree all you like but you'll be wrong and you'll know it.

The dcron set we'll be farming for the next 2 months is a huge step down in power level compared to the last 2 (since the introduction of FDCs) so some of the really crazy dcron pressure will be relieved. For a while, at least. 

The current blue set went incredibly far overboard with ridiculously OP FDCs. Dark Rey FDC is just oppressive. 

Did you miss where I said some are, in fact, overtuned?

OutrunWhistle​ your argument is a 95-5 issue your simply are just to ignorant to understand that datacrons in general are a unhealthy gameplay feature. As im basing most of the argument on a gameplay feature of mods that were put in the game since 2016. Which only has had quality of life updates and the 6 dot upgrades. Which I am basing datacrons around. Datacrons have been in since mid-2022 and it a terrible mechanic and has been a excuse to not actually update the pvp in the game. Even getting put on GL's teams or against them shouldn't even be a thing either. It's a lazy mechanic and your argument on keeping these completely bloated stat stick is stupid and putting them equivalent to a one or two mods worth of stats is a much more reasonable and understanding suggestion. But two loadouts worth is way too overkill. 

Sounds to me like you can’t be bothered to build up your own Datacrons and fight fire with fire. That is the textbook definition of “skill issue.”

CG has kinda had a mixed bag when it comes to the execution of datacrons. On the hand there are really fun ones like the Sidious cron or the Boba Fett Scion of Jango cron. They’ve definitely shown that they can make bad characters good again and that’s always fun for players.

On the other hand, they make absurd datacrons like the DS Rey cron. My gosh does that cron just suck. It is so absurdly busted that hardly anything can even go toe to toe with it, and yeah the fact that there are almost no consistent counters to it is a huge problem for the game. The only saving grace for it is that it’s temporary and we don’t have to deal with that cron forever. 

Honestly I think datacrons should maintain the focus of making bad characters or teams viable for a certain period of time. Those are by far the most well-received and enjoyable datacrons, not the ones where it makes an already busted team even more busted in an unenjoyable way. I kinda OP’s suggestion of banning GL’s from having datacrons specific to them or one of their core team members as it can help mitigate this problem. Of course I also wouldn’t be mad if they just deleted datacrons all together, but since they’re not going to do that I would be a lot happier if they focused more on making bad teams or characters good for a bit. Like a Tarful Wookiee datacron sounds like a ton of fun to me. 

I’m actually laughing right now, because you’re making stuff up at this point. You don’t have a good argument, so you regurgitate the same points mixed in with plenty of baseless insults for good measure.

I have not, in fact, overlooked the Drey cron - if you could also be bothered to use the eyes your mother gave you, you’d see how I agreed that some of the Datacrons, especially FDCs, were overturned. But guess what, champ, they’re not permanent. 

“Your level of skill is less than the cognitive function of a 5 year old” Well that’s immature and completely stupid to say. Based on what, that I farm datacron materials? Now THAT’S five year old mentality there.

Datacrons aren’t some “fundamentally broken mechanic”, you just need to get your own and be competitive. Simple as that. The only bad thing about Datacrons is, yes, those that make the team stupidly overpowered. But most of the time, Datacrons are geared towards underutilised characters and teams to shake up the meta for a short while. That is literally them updating the PvP system, but you ignore that in favour of calling people who disagree with you “ignorant” and “mentally damaged”
