I am the lucky one who doesn’t love Revan

Some obscure character from an early 2000s computer game?


Nah, I'm good ta. And as I'm f2p that's convenient lol.

:O our lord and saviour, Revan. The first toon i whaled out on to get him unlocked and I wish I never did because I never saved any gear for him and he is now stuck at G7 LOL but McMole made a video showing a Revan team doing 9 MIL + in the heroic sith raid in P2.... so maybe the new JTR for P2?

I played KOTOR 1 and 2 as well as the old republic and completed both KOTORS so many times as well as buying the game for the xbox/pc/mac/ios and completing it with every character and every way I could think of lol. It was a really good game imo

You were a moderator...but your opinions seem always on the player’s side, now you are a civilian like me :)

I don't do "sides" :smile:

Just expressing my opinion :smile: As I said - for those that like, want and are prepared to invest in him to enjoy? Absolutely fantastic. Not for me though. No "sides" taken :smile:

In some other thread that's probably been merged into the megathread by now I said I couldn't wait for Revan to be released and not single-handedly destroy every character with one button push and hear the complaints that he was too weak because of it.

I AM NOW REWARDED WITH MY PRIZE.

A toon you get left behind without.

There's a fallacy working here.

There are only two areas in the game where players are ranked, squad and fleet arena, making those the only places where you can be "left behind." Raids have rankings, but ultimately boil down to a binary Can Your Guild Do It Or Not. If you can do it, then having Revan just means you'll do it faster (but not more often, since you're still limited by things like tickets and time limits) but otherwise doesn't affect much.

Revan doesn't have a ship, so has no effect on fleet arena.

The only people who are going to get Revan the first time are people who spend a whole bunch of money, which means they're already at the top of their arena leaderboards (Or they're a weirdo who likes to spend a bunch of money and stay in the top 500). So them getting this shiny new character won't actually change the leaderboard. You won't be left behind because you were already behind them to begin with. You're going to stay exactly where you are.

Now it's the second time Revan comes around that you need to plan for. That's when the light spenders or the determined non-spenders are going to get them and they're the people you're actually competing against.

I would have to argue that.

Yes the only direct one on one competition is in the arenas, which is a big deal. I am on an old shard, most of the top 50 will have Revan at the end of the week. Not all of them are whales, but they have consistently done well in the arena and have huge reserves of crystals. Reserves that will continue to grow against those who don't have Revan.
Also Revan will be a big factor in TW guilds with more Revans will clearly have an advantage over those who don't. That extra zeta alone is huge.
Revan is also an HSTR hero. JTR was the best single toon for HSTR, but her teams damage is less than half of what a Revan team can do. For those of us that don't have a 7* Traya, Revan would make a big difference.

I don't have the luxury of changing my shard I am competing against others that will get Revan. I will get pushed further behind to the point I can never catch up. A year and a half ago I could break the top 20 of arena twice a week. Now I am lucky to stay in top 100. Every whale toon that comes out I am pushed lower and get more discouraged by the game.
