Jedi Revan: Minimum Expectations

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.

    Acquiring Revan based on current requirements is not difficult. However, it is difficult to do the first time he is released. I don't think he needs to be OP because he is difficult to acquire the first time around. Almost anyone should be able to get him by the time he comes around a second time and I don't think we need every meta in the game to be dominated by a fairly easy to acquire toon. We need to think big picture, not just for the next 2 months. CLS was much harder to get and was deservedly OP for the time. Traya is hard to get and is powerful as she should be. Chewie and Thrawn had events that we extremely challenging even with the proper characters and are also strong options.



    Well said

    While I agree in principle, the amount of people that play the way required for this to actually be done as F2P is so small it hardly bares mentioned. This will be the most exclusive character to date, except maybe for Traya, though not as costly as many are saying.


    I have been playing this game since the first few weeks it came out. I've been with you CG, all the way...until now. By making this potentially incredibly cool and powerful character absolutely unattainable with the panic farm/7-star unlock combo you showed us that you don't care about the 96% of players who are unable/unwilling to spend 100+ USD at a time. It feels like a slap in the face and I feel that this is likely the release that will cause me to give up caring about this game for good.


    You do realize that you’ll still be able to get him eventually though, right?

    He should be better than Ugnaught, but not better than CUP.

    What -most expensive toon-, have you ever 7*ed a toon on release?


    No toon can be better then CUP...






    .... as a bench warmer
  • Another thought.
    Getting Jedi Revan first time is absolutely tough.
    However, getting Jedi Revan the 2nd or 3rd time seems very easy actually. Nicely spread characters needed, many not even max energy nodes.

    So when thinking about an appropriate reward, think about its requirements on a larger scale. Comparably, the JTR farm is worse. So, from this perspective, Jedi Revans kit should also be worse than jtr.

    Its hard now so should be op, but will be easy, so then it should be mediocre.
    Maybe making it op now, and nerfing it in 3 months would make sense from this perspective. Interesting rollout nevertheless.
