Ig-90 looks Awesome!

This "problem" will disappear after the first Era.

In 3 months, you will have 7 new characters to gear, mod, and figure out their place in the meta while the next set of Era units is in the Colonoscopy--pardon, Coliseum. It will probably take you 3 months to finish shard farms, gear, mods, zetas/omicrons etc, so by the time you're done with that, the next Era's units will be joining the legacy roster.

And while we're waiting for Stormtrooper Luke and friends, we're gonna get Smilo Ren. And we have the new relic economy to play with and increase relic levels on our existing squads while we're waiting for Luke and the others. It's not like there's nothing to do in the game for 3 months.

Unless your entire roster is R9 with perfect mods, you don't have nothing to do. 

TBF, it does seem in some ways that this update takes an advantage away from whales. F2p probably never paid attention to marquee kits because they were waiting months to farm them anyway. For people who could max right away, that advantage seems to be gone, so this update may feel like a loss in functionality. Seems like the opposite of things like relic delta.

Part of it is I think, yes, they want to milk more cash out of the 0.5% who will just throw money at the game without thinking. The other part is that I think they genuinely want more people to engage in content without sitting on it--whivh I'm not sure is happening because you see people who are still sitting on level 5 Lukes even though they lose more by not levelling (and this is fine by me, as I can earn a little bit more in coliseum). Also, there really isn't much content to actually engage in. If it didn't feel so stonewally and there were more modes to help distract from the circular nature of the progression, I think people would be less put out.

I’m afraid you must be put through the tedious torture that is this idiotic idea called the Era cash grab. 

"Here are 5 new toons even whales can't really work on". As someone who just crossed over 14 mil gp, I don't mind spending. But to spent hundreds to get a character to g12 or maybe g13, where is the fun incentive for someone who all ready has the gear saved up to get them all up to relic levels on thier real day one release date months from now? 

I hear you crzydroid. I do. But conquest characters were a way to get usually one great toon. I know we are all in the same boat. I'm and end game player. There is nothing for me to do with this update but wait for months to find out if any of this eras toons are good. Why even give us their kit revels?

Look at it this way...Conquest units are alreasy announced and have their units "in game" three months before you can use them. Whale on the stars, save up the gold gear and relic mats if you need to...everyone else is in the same boat, and won't get them sooner than you, just like Conquest.
