Death of the legendary and heroes journeys

With more and more marquees coming every two weeks it is becoming more and more apparent that they are no longer practicing these business models. I wish they would just come out and say it outright. Especially since we have seen no new legendary characters since bb8. My only question how much longer can the whales keep up?
  • They've released way too many bounty hunters recently to not have Jango Fett soon. And the KOTOR characters just being released is almost certainly a Revan Heros Journey. Just be patient, wasn't it like a year between Palpatine being introduced and R2?

    CG needs to look at their plan differently IMO. Look at Fortnite for instance. 1 Billion dollar company in a little over a year after release of a FREE game with decent prices for additional, non pay 2 win items.

    Change the business plan EA and I guarantee you will not be voted worst company 3 years running.


    You do realize this game is also a FREE game right? Also Fortnite makes it's money by preying on kids stealing their parents credit cards so I would hope CG doesn't emulate that.


    I do realize this is a free game, but is it really free for someone now to pick this game up and start playing? I believe the gap is too big now. The player base is now somewhat limited to those who are f2p and have been in the long haul or those who are p2p. EA has a reputation with the loot boxes. Do not tell me that is not preying on kids to steal their parents credit card.

    I think my point here was misinterpreted after I read my post though. I do not have a problem with p2p or f2p. I love this game, but I once was a smaller whale and then things would get nerfed and my money would be wasted. I feel that they are too expensive. IMO, cheaper avenues would help keep the game healthy.
  • All I’m stating is if legendary and heroes journey were part of their plans you would think we would have seen at least one this year after 8 months.
  • What happened to the 9.99 and 19.99 packs? Im in Canada and end up paying 26-27 for a pack.

    The point made was that there is no competitive advantage to spending in Fortnite. The same can not be said in this game. That is accentuated with this marquee release structure. Also, I called this when HSR came out and everyone complained about its difficulty. I said they had new toons in the pipeline specifically made for making it easier and they wanted us willing to pay for them.


    You’re right. And how it’s going to be. If the game didn’t make money then there wouldn’t be development into it. New content comes out and they slowly push new toons that do better in that content. Look at clones in haat.

    The good thing is once you see the patterns you can take advantage of them. Scout out which toons that are marquees you should farm or shouldn’t farm. Like I don’t dig on KOTOR much but I will farm them because I think they will lead to Revan. And by the structure Revan would be good in most places in the game.
  • When Jedi Luke shows up as a marquee, then I'll share that sentiment. Embo, Aurra Sing, and I'd argue even Jango Fett aren't Legendary enough.
  • They needed new toons to be the farm for legendary and HJ events.

    They are not dead, they are waiting.

    If BB-8 is good enough, so is Jango.


    Bb8 I wouldn’t say in the movies is legendary- but hiskit sure is. And I think that’s the point of the legendary tag.
