@EA_Jesse Bit more transparency here please. Who qualifies as the small number of players? Spenders? Long time players? Also, a description of how this works would be great too. Give us non qualifies something to possibly look forward to.

Instant upgrades?! When, where, what?

Let the speculation begin! I'm glad we get these weekly teasers, it adds some life to the speculators.

Please give a little more info.

Also does it have to be previously unlocked chars? Seems very unfair in that case.

/queue whining because people have activated lotsa units just to get the Vader shards from the Achievements.

Not really, as most whales have already activated pretty much everyone, and they are also savvy enough to know what a bad deal this is.
I currently have 5 characters sitting unactivated and that wouldn't even remotely tempt me.

Anyone who has been around a while knows just how bad a deal that is (probably like $15 in the US). Getting to level 42 costs under 200 2-star training droids and 200k credits, and most of us have more low-level gear than we know what to do with.
Just another way to rip off newbies. Nice priorities on the development there guys. :(

LOL

Rip off nonsense

Can't be a Dev idea
Must be from marketing or sales to rip newbies off

Wow... That is an amazing rip off. Now if it was 42 to 70 and gear VI to IX that would be different.

Newbie: "Wow! Level 42 is 60% of the way to 70! I will get a huge head start!"
This is who these are aimed at. Poor newbies. :(

This is not just cg trying to make money. This is cg trying to deliberately rip off new players who don't know the game yet.

Wow. Makes me feel dirty playing this game now.

No wonder @EA_Jesse didn't give details, he knew it was a terrible deal and wouldn't interest anyone, but had to be professional about it.

Oh it would probably be worth it for a new player with account level of 8 for early arena dominance. Crystals would about pay for it.
