Maul goes the way of CAT?

Jedi Master Kenobi and Lord Vader aren’t intended to be among the first GLs players should be acquiring.

Their steep requirements are a clear indication they’re meant mainly for players that have been playing a lot longer. The number of R8’s are just one thing, plus some of their requirements themselves are grinds too.

If you have a lower GP, there are more accessible GLs you should probably get first

This is their intention, to pressure people into building up their roster quickly to be able to complete hard conquest. It is what it is.

Which I’m fine with RC because I can also pick it up other ways. Even crystals would be great for me. But CAT is just MIA the entire month except when I can get a whopping 20 shards in august…. AND you need 4 mill GP which isn’t an issue for me but it is for guild mates that have GL kenobi unlocked but can’t get CAT

I have one GL, LV. I have guild mates sub 4mill GP with GL kenobi. You’re saying is we should only farm old crap instead of top tier arena/GAC/TW toons ??. Why waste our time and energy? So we are just always so far behind the eight ball we’re worthless?

There are some gates you can’t buy your way past

Well, except that's exactly what they want you to do. Literally. Fork out enough cash to make the 4M GP threshold, so yeah, you literally can buy your way past it. They never said it wouldn't take a crapload of cash, but again, that's the whole point. That's why i have a problem personally with sticking people in the same boat. You can't start today and get to K1 inside of year, for example, unless you want to spend more than the GDP of a small country. But, that's another issue all together. The point remains, you can get past any 'wall' they through up if you have deep enough pockets - or mommy/daddy's credit card has a big enough limit.

I say that with the gate being not having access to the event, not that you have to wait for the event to roll around often enough for the shards. I don't have access to the event, but i'm stunned there's not like a like 2000 crystal refresh on it or something. That sounds exactly like their standard MO. Maybe they can monetize it further by sticking a refresh on it that says $5? But maybe we shouldn't give them more stupid ideas.

I mean, they let people take Executor (and i'm sure Profundity will work the same) all the way to 7* day one if you had the crystals and time to refresh it enough. Odd this would get mega-gated.

Except they aren’t old crap….
SLKR - easily counters LV with NSisters. Can complete all 4 phases of HSTR, useful in CRancor, Can complete CT3 of an ABattle. FO can be split into TWO teams that both can 4/4 phase 4 of DSTB
JML - at R9 is arguably the most powerful GL. Splitting JMK and JKL = two teams that 4/4 all phases of Geo LSTB. Again can CT3 an ABattle
SEE - solos multiple teams in GAC, can beat GL Rey with a support unit like Wat. 4/4 in Geo DSTB. Overlaps with Excecutor requirements + the easiest requirements of any GL
Rey - at high Offence is an absolute monster. Rey + Armorer can duo multiple teams. With Ben Solo might well be the strongest GL.

If I was starting again I’d 100% be heading for SLKR then SEE then Executor (cross over with SEE reqs).

Yes, you should be farming "old crap" first. Doesn't mean you have to, which you obviously know since you didn't. But you made it harder on yourself and restricted your roster for your choice to go for LV first. Your game though, gotta play it how you want.

why *would* you be able to make K1 inside of a year? Why *should* you? The guys in K1 are the ones who have been playing for 6 yrs, or going hardcore for a long time, and you think someone comes in and after a year should be competitive with them?

Yes. Maul will join CAT and RC as a tier in proving grounds. Maybe there will be some other way too, like RC is in a store.

Maul was released on August 30, 2021 (according to https://wiki.swgoh.help/wiki/Maul).
This means he should be added to the Proving Grounds event during the month of September.
