You know I wouldn’t really mind marquees so much if they wouldn’t make literally all the characters 2*... I can remember way back when krennic, nihilus, sTrooper and sAssassin were released in marquees. They were 3*. I feel like we haven’t gotten a character that wasn’t 2*, 5*, or 7* in forever. They could’ve made some of the more anticipated releases (like jango, embo, bastilla, Sion, etc.) 3 or 4 Star characters, that way it wouldn’t be so brutal of a farm.
Another idea is to have event like the wicket or talzin events (as stated above) but just tweaked slightly. Maybe the events appear slightly more often, or aren’t so specific on requirements.
They could also add toons as TW rewards, adding a greater incentive to participate in and win the wars. They could even change them out every month or so, then put them in a cantina/hard node after. They could make it to where no matter what, you can unlock the character, but if you win, you’ll get more shards of them.
But it’s like I said, I don’t mind marquees so much, if only they weren’t so expensive (seriously when did 200$ become an acceptable amount of money for just 1 character) and if they gave out more shards. Or if the wait till farmable wasn’t so long.
