GameChanger Gameplay: Sith Marauder

I don’t think I be buying him for now. I think i would feel better seeing video of him being tested, gear 11 or 12, 7 stars and with some more or less good mods. Seeing the finished product would provide a better picture?. So far most videos only have him at 3 or 4 stars...? I’m sure he will be something we need for the upcoming Sith raid... this last video was somewhat helpful.
Anyone have any details to add?

I'm far from done with him, and I haven't hit the g12 endgame myself (the g12 teams I can take on are trash) but I did get him to four stars.

I think as others are saying, his offense is lacking. He's not a wet noodle, but it's just not up to par damage wise.

I do think he is hella tough tho. I haven't brought him to arena yet, just GW and TB. He doesn't get debuffed easily, lifesteal is off the chain, defense isn't to shabby. It's almost as if the offense we expected was put into his defense. Like I wonder what he could do with a taunt.

I don't think he'll be best under DN. he'll be good, but you could probably get more out of him under Palp or Zader. That said, I could be wrong.

I honestly think he could be plugged in to any team as a tough r2 smokescreen candidate.

I think he's awesome and I'm going to try to use him, but he's far from overwhelming. He's also not hot garbage.

It's called "moving the goal posts" and it happens with every TB. Last LS they added Rose, this DS it's Marauder. Then whales in guilds buy Rose and SM - so CG/EA releases a new toon of each faction so that by the time the next TB comes around, whales have to re-up...just to match the level of progress they had on the previous TB. CG/EA has figured out that they don't have to release new content - just keep selling the same progress level over and over again to the same customers each TB.

Gosh- the way you put it make it sound just like, you know, a business or something!

There are ways to make money without making your customers feel like they are wasting their's. Making your customers happy, for instance. But I digress.

When you have developed a business model that makes customers feel like spending money brings no substantial advantage, it can lead to long-time supporters (some significant) not spending at all. That, IMHO, is not a good business decision.

Which is not my, and I assume not your, problem.

Go ahead and enjoy the game.

Does become his problem if it prevents him from enjoying the game without feeling like he's being ripped off?
Also becomes the game's problem if that continues and spreads through the player base.
Then it becomes everyone's problem when the studio decide to bin the no longer profitable game.

Yeah,a lot of people don’t get it. Too much ego, I guess, for some to be able to consider the consequences of more and more people leaving because of bad business decisions.

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this... I think that the shard amounts need to change from 5-330 to 50-330! Two days ago, I spent a total of 6495 crystals and all I got was 22 shards for the Sith Marauder. I agree, from what I saw in the event, he's a valuable character, but I'm not going to waste hundreds of dollars on a whim that I get good luck in getting all 330 shards in 15,000 worth of crystals.

The 5-330 shard range is one of the ugliest rip offs I've ever seen on any given game. It's a shame to fool your players like this.

Yes, direct parallel with the Lottery. People still spend on that despite knowing that they have a greater chance of being hit by an asteroid than winning the jackpot.
Are the lottery fooling those people by saying that they could win 10 million, when the chance of even winning a tenner is pretty slim?
At least with this you have a guaranteed ROI of the lowest amount.

And that is why lottery tickets can only be sold to adults. This game is also marketed towards minors. The inclusion of lottery like elements is actually pretty shady. (As the world woke up to in the wake of the Battlefront II debacle.) Also for lotteries the odds for winning are actually known.

Back to topic? Who has leveled his Marauder to a higher star level so far? And what was the motivation for doing so? Is the Marauder a game changer or not?
