Finn and HK are much better now. They're just not leaders any more, which is actually fine when you consider their leader abilities were so strong that they were the reason later Droid and Resistance characters were gimped. I know, I know, I know, you're going to come back at me with something about how Revan has an equally OP, faction-breaking leader ability. The difference is that you can't farm Revan from a single Cantina node.
HK is better for 1% of the player base. But for the 100% of us that had a droid squad set up around him it was a big middle finger. Wish i could get all my credits and droids and mats spent on him back. Id find another droid leader. Waiting for Bao-Dur i guess.

I would be upset if i sunk my resources into getting Padme with a less than team and these reworks end up making her easier to get
Of course it is....because everything that happens in the world today is a "slap in the face" to someone, lol. They told us before the event that Dooku and Nute were getting reworks. Anyone paying attention knew that these two would be better after their reworks. The people who got Padme will have her for 3 months before other people can get her....if they just wanted to eventually get her and didn't want that period of exclusivity, they could have waited for the reworks. That's why I just got her at 5* with what I had and didn't gear up anyone specifically for her event. I already had Dooku at G11 and wanted to see how much better he was going to be after his rework.
Paying attention?
Nute's last rework made him worse, Finn's too, and HK as a droid leader.
Correct way to do this would have been to issue the reworks and make Padme a marquee so everyone gets to test the rework out and be sure if they want it. It also leads to sales.
Only people that were hurt by this were those that spent resources to get Padme early and everyone else gets her later with an easier time. Point is the rework should have happened before the event because now you are essentially changing the events difficulty very soon after its release.
Like how they released new BHs BEFORE the Chewy event. What made them think this was a good idea i wonder...
Paying attention? Because it’s clear that you have no idea why things like Finn and HK were changed.
Most reworks are meant to be buffs, especially if they are announced or hinted at earlier. JKA, GK, Ahsoka, Bastila, Grievous, B2, etc. Most “nerfs” have happened only recently, and they were also announced as such.
Look, we get that you and a lot to f people spent to get Padmé, but however unfair this is, it’s a marketing strategy. I’m guessing that it’s working, due to their repeated use of this strategy. It makes no sense from a business standpoint to make free characters really good right before a big event.
And im saying the marketing strategy would be better the other way around by introducing these reworks first through a marquee event to work out the for sure bugs these will bring.
No one in their right mind is going to invest in these reworks now. Especially when there is about a 90% chance they will be nerfed in a week. This game is so complicated that everytime there is a "rework" or a new toon introduced the game is "broken" and then more toons are getting nerfed.
I didnt spend for padme because i am free to play but its a slap in the face to those that did.
These nerfs have BEEN happening. Its only recent to you because you haven't played this game for very long. Like Nute for example (funny that he's now being buffed again)
This strategy has never been used before. Never. Look at all the legendaries there are and tell me which have had reworks RIGHT after the event was held to make the event easier, ill wait (surprise, there are none). Everything has always happened prior to an event happening never right after. If its right after its to nerf a toon not buff them.
Explain to me why the HK droids were destroyed. We all know what happened to Finn.
New FO characters were released not long after the BB8 event and those new characters were both better and easier to farm than the original ones.

Specifically KRU. Or was he released just before BB-8?

For certain definitions of “have,” sure. Will “most” people gear them up and zeta them? Who knows. We don’t even know how much easier these reworks will make the event. We do know that Droideka makes the event a whole lot easier and people have the ability to farm Droideka in time for the second event when they couldn’t have done so for the first event. So there was already a method in place to make the event much easier the second time.
But my point was just that these events become easier over time for a variety of reasons, and there’s nothing wrong with that. They added zetas to Phoenix after the Thrawn event was already out - you could equally well complain that they should have had those zetas from the beginning.

Your "100%" of players that had a droid squad built around HK is probably a smaller number than that "1%" of players with DR in their roster, by the way.

Hopefully this reworks pattern holds where characters get better synergy with their factions or professions. It can be more interesting then the start of the game when my lineup was Sidious L, Dooku, Lumi, fives, and JC. Mixed groups are not as fun (imo).
I’m not a big fan of lightside characters on a Darkside squads (or DS on LS) because of one mechanic. I wish that characters like GMY buff mechanic could only work on lightside characters. Just my opinion.

No you cant because Thrawn also got a zeta too. Which made the event the same if not harder.
Yeah they become easier over time but thats after a new shiny toon has been released after. Its never been immediately after. Immediately after is a slap in a face to those that spent. Doesnt matter of it was announced before, its still a terrible idea regardless.
No one had KRU for the second BB8 unless they paid for him. Marquees dont work that way.
The event was not made harder. You are just full of myths today.
You conveniently ignored my point about Droideka. Is that a “slap in the face” too? Because that is *exactly* how marquees work.
