Great Update! But what about the unobtainable Rouge One Pack characters?

The introduction of new Empire Characters is great and it will mix up the Meta for sure!

But.... back in December I paid $100 for a Rouge One pack so I could unlock some of the new characters. I believe the plan was to have these characters farmable in tournaments, which I was fine with as long as the tournaments were frequent so I could actually finish the characters off.

It's been a few weeks since the last tournament and no word on the future of tournaments or these characters. I would not have spent $100 if I knew the characters would be unobtainable for so long.

If there are packs coming for the new Empire Characters please add some packs for the unobtainable Rouge One pack characters also. It's very frustrating to have spent money on characters that we have no path to finish.

I should not be able to finish off the Empire Characters released now and not the Rouge One Characters that have been out for 2 months.....

Please address the future of tournaments and these characters.
  • I was suprised that a counter for Rogue One toons was implemented so soon (Drennic) because usually when a counter is released for a toon, the toon becomes farmable.

    I hope Jyn is a Permanent Shard Shop addition, Baze is somewhere in Cantina Node Stage 8, Cassain in Cantina Shipments, Chirrut in Arena Shipments, and K2 goes to GW.
  • They did this to double down.... now people have the choice....Rebel or empire... people will chase one or the other and other will be forced to "counter" pushing them one way or the other....

    Just a theory.
  • Yeah I really hope that Jyn is added to the shard shop, seems like an good fit.
  • Bump.... since there was another update with no word on how to finish characters that I paid to unlock 2 months ago....

    And how long were all the clones unobtainable....

    No one made you pay, it was your choice.
  • The pack will be coming, no doubt. 3k crystals, 8 random shards per pack, 4 Bistan and Pathfinder shards guaranteed in every pack.

    Maximum 10 packs per day or until your house is repossessed.

    Didn't we have that pack already? ahah

    I wouldn't even ask for packs nowadays the price tag is just out of reach for me (and this is someone that has bought all the aurodium packs)

    Besides, metas are shifting so fast its pointless to try to pay to get ahead.
    I mean we will have Deathnic packs soon to kill the rebels... but 90% of the players doesn't even have Chase yet...lol

    I'm not asking for them to be f2p farmable, but at this point there is no way to get these characters even from Chromiums.

    I believe the plan was for these characters to be farmed in tournaments and we all know how that worked out. Just looking for an update on the plan for them since the tournaments have stopped.

    I understand, there was no character that was in more then 2 tournaments, but maybe that was the plan.

    They made no claims to have a plan, and have not ever made "long term" announcements about things like this... I hope they do but I doubt it.

    This is the biggest issue with the game right now. There are numerous characters and ships that you can release, or have shards for and have absolutely no idea when or if you can continue to farm them.

    The new "Attack Pack" is another example. You can release either a 4* Tie Advanced or 3* Tie Reaver. You can't farm either ship - nor has there been any indication when, if or how you'll be able to. Also, if you happen to release the Reaver, you need Deathtrooper as a pilot. You might have him released, but you can't farm him anywhere - nor do you know when, how or if you will be able to in the future.

    That's why posting 3k crystals for the pack makes no sense. Why buy a pack that's a dead end? Or could (likely) just lead to being forced to buy more packs to star things up.
