First Reactions to February Release Notes
Please note this is posted about 20 minutes after the "February Release Notes" were posted. So apologies if my first reactions prove misguided.
Smart Business with Events System Now the only way to get will be to have five (typo on the seven?) fully starred Jedis. Start cranking with the shards!
Arena will be a totally new and better experience. The fact that you see the entire squad (and their stats) ahead of time will allow you to plan battles (mixing up toons) and avoid battles with low likelihood of winning. Much more strategy and thoughtfulness required. Couple that with a better sniping system and should be a lot of fun.
Shard Shop seems thoughtful. Makes a lot of sense and look forward to see detailed workings!
Energy windows = easy way to add content. Good move. Frankly, now I need to plan my days in more detail. LOL.
Effective mini-nerf to Phasma. She's my lead, as is the case with three quarters of the top 50 in my server, so makes sense to nerf. Reducing the ally assist is a soft nerf that makes her less necessary for meta. Gut math is that she continues to be lead for most, but lets reserve judgement. A bunch of my attacks are non-attacks (taunt, turn meter manipulation, heal, you name it). So yeah, effectively less damage to the opposing team.
Poe Nerfed? Reducing the expose % by 15 will move the needle. That's an average of one less toon exposed at the beginning, or so. Reduced tenacity reduces his heal too.
Leia finally does not always 100% crit. Only fair.
Those are my initial major needle-moving headlines. I'm sure more will be digested soon. Great job @EA_Jesse , @CG_JohnSalera and the rest of the devs!
