General ramblings of a DS user
(Warning: whatever I might write might be all over the place and have grammatical problems and might or might not contain LS hate. I warned you so pls don't comment about these thing. Also its pretty long.)
So here I am a university student who most likely should spend his time working on his group project than writing on the swgoh forums. But i am at a time where i need some empathy and understanding from my fellow swgoh gamers.
As I stated in the title my collection is mostly focused on DS especially Sith and Empire. And at this point of the game has become a chore for me. with the only thing is to fulfill my daily guild commitments, as there is almost to no use for my darkside collection.
I feel like the ROI on DS toons is almost non existente beside that you can get R2-D2 (and now BB-8), especially since the only viable DS toons Nihilus and Thrawn are more used and are extremely good in light side squads. (it is extremely frustrating to see, especially spotting an emperor in a rebel team in arena and getting all your toons stunned while your emperor only got 1-2 stuns in your empire squad and has double the potency of the other emperor, and now imagine my Death Trooper with 95% potency and cant get a debuff applied.)
Concerning raids and rare and legendary character event:
Raids: it´s sad that DS only has 1-3 teams viable teams for both, I´m hoping to see a new raid that actually rewards a DS toon.
Rare and Legendary character events:
Overall the requirements for each I can understand and accept lore wise if that is the reason behind it.
What I cant accept is that almost all of these events benefit and require the LS users. The only DS requirement is R2-D2 which mostly benefits LS, but looking at the others Yoda- requires Jedi benefits Jedi, Palpatine requires Rebels benefits DS (would argue for both sides), R2 requires empire benefits LS, Thrawn requires Phoenix benefits both sides, CLS requires the OG trilogy rebels and benefits LS now BB-8 requires FO and benefits LS and droids.
So basically you cant get the DS characters you need if you have DS, but can get almost everything if you have LS. I´m hoping to see a legendary event that requires DS and gives a DS toon.
Character reworks and power creep:
It´s clear as day that LS is more powerful than DS, some people might say that some characters are op while others argue back that its because they don't have them and that they are noobs, In my experience I had no problem with this because the only thing that is OP in this game is speed, speed and speed if you couldn't mod speed in the game we would have a much different and diverse meta.
Personally the only OP thing I consider is the fact that CLS alone can inflict debuffs that I would need 3-5 different DS characters for that.(I'm around 100 in arena and my Zader team crushes CLS lead pure rebel teams).
The other thing that bothers me is a clear disparity when it comes to reworks of characters light side reworks are far superior to darks side ones, see Han Solo. (I'm still butthurt over the disappointing empire pass, especially Tarkin rework giving with one hand and taking with the other not cool bro).
I also have a bad feeling that character reworks are going to be made by taking them to gear 12 For exmpl see General Grievous.
My opinion on TB: I have no problem with it, it´s just a lack luster game mode was hoping for boss battles at node 6´s in some territories like battling Vader or Veers or the walkers but no just a generic wave mode type of thing with generic opponents.
About the new shard shop: its a welcome addition, but taking gear out of fleet shipments I disagree, its better to have both, I don't like being told to farm zetas or characters or ships. I farm what I want when I want.
As for the monetary practices of the game: no comment.
PS: I would like to know when can we expect any dark side content in the game, also PAPA PALPATINE NEEDS HIS ZETA PEOPLE.
