Let me start by saying I appreciate the content and effort that goes into the new character's, raids and events that are regularly released. There's a reason people are still playing after 3 years and new players are joining.
But I want to talk about this rework and new release and give my thoughts.
I understand that marketing material will always show the best and want to create demand for the new character's but the footage imo appears to be misleading. Theres people implying the defence teams were unmodded maybe?
I have committed substantial gear and 4 zetas to the team. I have G12 GG with both zetas and most G12+ pieces and all 6E mods (as suggested other than Crit Damage triangle I have gone for more health.) But at best it's a 1/4 chance of beating Revan.
After substantial testing i can report: If marked hits GG it's possible to recover but often he's down and out before you can recover. I've actually been using L337 for an extra heal over droideka as it's slightly improved the overall chance of victory. If B1 gets marked it's pretty much over too. So your usually destroyed in the first 30 seconds.
Yes I have won, yes I like the faction and kit but the results are very lack luster. I have modded as suggested and even with GG having loads of health it isn't working great. You only have to watch the multitude of YouTube videos out there to see they are easily countered too on defence. I had nearly as much success pre Magnaguard, GG and Droideka rework/release. So not great on offence and walked over on defence........
As I see it there are three potential solutions:
1) Buff the faction (they are far from overpowered), I'm sure people wouldn't mind if they could still be easily countered if they could actually reliably counter something! Grevious lead is weak, a suggestion would be to add a separatist droid buff based on the number of Jedi on the opposing team . Like Plus 10% health and offence per jedi. They were hyped as a jedi killer, so perhaps a focused buff would work best.
2) Refund gear and zetas and let people decide if they would reinvest now the true videos and gameplay is in the open
3) Do nothing and have angry disappointed players. Even those that haven't invested agree it's still a worthless faction.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info etc.
The video was clearly misrepresenting gg / droid capabilities.
