Hey guys, I'm excited for the Q&A, I have a list of questions, some repeated from my previous post, but still unanswered:
-Why don’t the vulture droids that the malevolence calls in when it uses its special have the capability to inflict buff immunity on their special ability like the vulture droid that we have in our inventory?
-Since we are getting a change to echo’s basic that was originally planned to synergize with an earlier iteration of General Skywalker, can we get an update to Canderous Ordo’s unique that was clearly meant to synergize with Darth Revan’s death mark? Possible solutions that come to mind are to give Canderous the Sith Empire tag in addition to the old republic tag so that he can be used on a Darth Revan team effectively, or maybe make it so that if an enemy gains taunt, he gains 8% turn meter (like what he gains if someone damages an enemy with a dot on them) and completely remove the mark and deathmark parts of his kit.
-You mentioned in the past that the mod challenges would get an update to the final tier so that they would only drop 5* mods. CG_Cyanides had answered that we’d get this in the December 4, 2019 Q&A. Any update as to when that will be released into the game?
-Can we get updates on a few tags for important characters? For example, Visas Marr was in fact a Jedi after the teachings of the exile, and she also was allied with the Old Republic. Giving her either or both tags would help give her a permanent home with JKR or the Carth Old Republic squad. Other characters that come to mind are the Vets getting resistance tags and Ahsoka Tano Fulcrum getting the phoenix tag.
-I’ve recently watched Star Wars Rebels on Disney+, and I realized that there are a criminally large number of good characters in that series that aren’t in game; such as Agent Kallus, the inquisitors, young Wedge, Hondo Onaka, AP-5, Fen Rau, and many more. When are we going to get these characters into the game?
-Now that we have introduced characters that can summon a 6th unit into the ally slot, can we finally get all 6 members of phoenix squadron on the field at once? Possibly add an ability for Hera to either call your existing geared up Chopper from your roster to the ally slot, or have her summon a chopper to the field that scales with her gear level if chopper is not already on the field. I think it’s only fair at this point, and it won’t break the game to have all 6 on the field at once, since it doesn’t break the game to have geo brute and sentry turret on the field.
-Why can't I use my 7* malevolence in phase two of the dark side territory battle, geonosis? Both battles require either Chimera or Executor, and don’t allow for any additional dark side capital ships. Same could be said for the Finalizer now.
-Why can't we use OUR Chimera for the DSTB P2 Fleet mission? We have to use a non-upgraded version of the chimera and thrawn that has inferior stats to ones in our roster.
-When is Division 1 of GAC going to get split up to accommodate the vast difference in GP between the lower half and the upper half?
-When are officers going to get more options for orders to use in guild events? There was a post about this in general chat that CG_SBCrumb had posted, I’m hoping that we can get some update on that information. It’d be helpful for TB especially so we can prohibit platooning to specific platoons if we don’t have enough 7* Rose Tico’s for all the platoons.
-I just recently beat Jedi Fallen Order, and I think that there is a missed opportunity for all the characters in the game that could be added. There were plenty of Imperial Troopers such as the purge troopers, flame troopers, rocket troopers, and of course the scout troopers. We also could get some of the inquisitors, having synergy with the inquisitors from Rebels. Finally of course, there is the Crew of the Mantis, totaling 5 members that could be a fun squad to put together, or just have Cal having synergy with existing jedi teams would be fun. Any plans to add these characters?
-Galactic republic jedi reworks when? We need more jedi teams to do well in LSTB.
