So word has it that Jedi Revan was not quite (or even nearly) up to par, hence no kit reveal last week. The decision to work on Revan this past weekend was absolutely the right one.The question is, no doubt, where the bar should be set for arguably the most expensive character to ever be released into the game.In my opinion, he should make Jedi (or whichever synergy team works best) hard to beat for Traya teams, but not impossible, and extremely tough to beat for other teams. In short, teams with Revan should hold better on defence than any other.Anything short of this is quite simply not worth the investment. We currently have wall to wall Traya killers, Rebels with Chewie can do it, Bastila-led Jedi can already do it, Jango-led bounty hunters can do it, etc.Revan will be deemed a success if his kit convinces current Traya users to switch to him for reasons other than bragging rights. Anything short of this will be deemed a failure.

He should be better than Ugnaught, but not better than CUP. What -most expensive toon-, have you ever 7*ed a toon on release?

Palanthian. Good to see you are playing again.

Another product released without sufficient testing and debugging, they force push too hard.

Revan is not "difficult to obtain". Less than a maxed marquee.

This one is not one they want to get wrong.

Honest question, can they get it right?
Given the fact that revan is quite difficult to obtain, you'd want him to be rather OP if you're able/willing to get him, but you don't want him to be that OP if you can't/aren't willing to get him.
Personally i want him to be rather OP eventhough i'm not going to get him. On the other hand i do not want to only play vs revan once players like myself are finally able to also get him. So slightly better than traya would be ideal imo. Unfortunately that's probably too weak or too OP for others depending on their perspective.

Yes they can get it right, but they're not off to a great start.

The decision to lock him behind an exclusivity wall mandates that he must be powerful, if not outright OP. Otherwise the decision can only backfire -- rendering those who *do* spend to unlock him feeling cheated. With how this game functions, it must be difficult to test a character who could have a hard counter just sitting out there -- one that might not be obvious.

Since people have already solved the STR raid puzzle, that means that Revan would also have to be explicitly overpowered in Arena to be attractive to a lot of the people who are going to get him.

I agree. The best way to release Revan would be to make Traya lead a good soft counter to Revan while having no hard counters

I think youre getting this very wrong.
Who said Revan was built for arena?

For all we know, he can be similar to JTR. You might like Revan more than Rey, but arguably, she has much much more mainstream screen time than Revan. With that in mind, Revan should actually be weaker.

So how to picture it then?
Revan should be an ok, top100 team for arena, but more importantly, a real HSTR beast, soloing p1/p2.

Well nobody said Revan was built for arena. But if I was designing the character, I'd look at the climate of people who are most likely to spend at this potentially very high bar for acquisition (depends on a lot of account specific factors but it's high no matter what, just higher for some) and I'd probably conclude that those accounts are going to be looking for Revan to be dominant in arena. I'd try to design a toon that was exceptional in arena with lots of synergy potential, and try to make it pretty good elsewhere as well. Maybe that's just me, but I'd want the people breaking their wallets for this to feel like they got something excellent.

But that carries its own cost as well.
