Where do a lot of players see galactic legends going forward?

Longevity: while light side can still mass produce hard to acquire GLs, they have almost 50 more characters then dark side. While I would love to see an uptick in dark side characters produced, dropping massive amounts in order to continue the dual releases seems like a stretch. What are some ways you see them addressing this?
.

They can always overlap required toons that just need more relic levels

Yeah, like KAM will be needed at r5 for kenobi, but r8 for next jedi GL

Stop with that. ALL OF YOU! STOP JINXING IT

Well, the balance can't stay forever in the current setup, if all GLs are balanced, the arena will soon be a horrible mess where everyone can fall to the 100s or worse overnight. So either there will be power creep with GLs which are pretty high in power already, or the setup changes and the focus (and crystal income) moves away from arena. I would definitely prefer the second option.

Not sure which arena you are in but if players in my arena leave SEE in by accident most will fall past 100 overnight. SLKR is routinely past 50 from top 5. I don't even bother climbing much anymore since having to do 10 or so fights every day is a massive chore.

Arena is indeed super stale. Seems to be a good bit of luck in how tough/active shards are.
A guildie of mine rarely drop out of top 30 and he is from a very early days shard.
I’m in a late 2017 shard and routinely drop out of top 50 regardless of what I leave on D.
And the deal is not getting better as more and more players creep up with their new GL.

What we need it a bounty hunter raid, like galactic bounties, that we can do twice a month and the rewards are crystals, impulse detectors, and shards for jabba and crumb for completing. Then that can lead us in to gl boba fett

I don’t think we should have a sort of unlimited flow of GLs, one per faction or similar pattern ... who should they be?
A character should have a certain “dimension” in SW lore to be called Legend..... if too much people are special, nobody is special ?

Yeah let's just hope we don't get a new version of the characters called beyond galactic Legend XD

Mythic heros.

Challenge Tier Legend Heroes.

Figured they would stick to the rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock for the arena from here on out. No more stale arenas and anyone can climb at any time. Keeps players playing the game longer.

That's funny, because I am surprised it lasted as long as it has.

I think the anyone can climb part in particular counters your own "keep players playing the game longer" remark. Some people like an advantage and work very hard to get it (and/or $$$).

As a game company, I would think they would want hundreds of people in arena shards to be able to have a shot at the top rather than 20 like it was for years. This hope gets people to spend money on GLs knowing they have a shot at the top. If you go back to the way it was, it benefitted the hardcore player and spender and it left a lot of people out in the cold.

It's like gambling, you have to give people hope that they can win otherwise why would they want to play and why would they want to spend money?

People can always go for the top, and some peoples top spot is at a different level than others.

The current situation doesnt really do what you are saying, people at 200-300 aren't suddenly all going for 1. Yes some of them may, but there are players who have always been in the 100s and that is not changing just due to having a GL.

If that's what you think the goal is, I guess, here I though people were playing because they like the game, and I know for a fact that not everyone cares about arena to the same degree, no matter how developed their roster is.

Those crystals matter.

Agree, but I think we have all met someone, who doesn't care as much as many of us do.

I am that someone ?

Crystals are what makes the game go. Unless you are dropping loads of cash on gear or crystals then arenas matter.

Nah. I just farm and get what I get when I get it. I finish in the top 100 because I farmed Rey for a very very very long time, usually finish high Aurodium or low Kyber in GAC. Real close--as in maybe a month from now--to finishing the Luke requirements. Don't spend money, don't even spend much on refreshes, just 50 a day for more regular energy. Soon to be 100 for more cantina energy since I'm almost out of characters to farm again.

The point is that this game is whatever you make of it. If you're into arena, then that's spectacular and awesome and I give you many pats on the back. But that's not me. I'm sure that's not for a lot of people that play, but it is for a lot of people on the forum.

EDIT: Interestingly, I'll say this--I've been playing since February 2016. All my friends who started before me were hardcore about arena and finishing 1st, and dropped buckets on winning tournaments when those happened. I'm still here, they're not. When I started posting on this forum there were hundreds of people who sought every minor edge to finish 48th instead of 49th, even though the payouts were the same, and jumped from guild to guld to get raid Han and General Kenobi as soon as possible, they're mostly gone and I'm still here. Highest I ever finished was like 20th or something, and got as far as 1st in fleet once before being knocked back to 3rd before payout. Still here, still having fun.

The game's what you make of it.
