Jyn Erso - Beast or no Beast?

Hey @BenObi007 - is your in-game name "Obi"?

That's him

We know your shard mate skinnyjey. Looks like he's in for a tough time ;)

When you see this video you don't need to be a genius in game design to understand there is a huge problem. The inflation or power creep if you prefer is way too fast and high in this game and the characters deprecation rate is depressing. I can understand that for F2P players this is killing the fun considering patience and planning is not rewarding and once a character is finished it is already obsolete. Even for spenders the value of money spent is vaporised in a matter of a couple of month. The sickness has been visible on raid Han too as he was made pointless right at the first tournament before a reasonable amount of the player base could activate him or 7* him. I have the feeling General Kenobi will follow the same fate and by the time it get collected he will be already redundant.
Yes a certain amount of inflation is required for commercial reasons but wiping out the value of collected content at this pace is not very constructive as it simply kills the variety of game play and the fun that goes with it especially in a rich universe such as Star Wars.

You hit the nail on the head with this one.

Indeed. CG read this!

I assume this was with 3/4 star Jyn/Cassian to right, not even maxed.

But yeah Gozu nailed it you can't have a much more clear demonstration of how badly the game design is off the rails.

I know of her. She runs some solid teams

Its actually a he, but nonetheless, he always let's us know what you are running so we can prepare for the future...Is Jyn the future, or too early to tell? If you zeta-ed her, you must have some confidence in her abilities

No doubt the video shows a butt-kicking, however its too early to tell if this is OP. One data point is not quite sufficient to draw a conclusive assessment. Now if Obi shares with us this has been typical...

Good point about K2 - too bad I am iOS... So you have the ally points to go for 7* Jyn? (Guess you just need to finish top 2)
