Have all the possible teams and datacron abilities combinations been thoroughly tested from a game balance perspective? I’d hate to see gamebreaking mechanics be introduced in an unintended way. We don’t want a new Darth Vader & Wat incident.

According to the interview Crumb did with Hynesy, this is part of the point of making them temporary. If they make something that turns out to be OP, they don't have to nerf anything, just wait for it to live out the cycle and dismantle.

This is far more concerning than reassuring.

I think from a viewpoint of an OP datacron that people generally like, they don't have to have a situation like the Defense Penetration nerf, which is what Crumb specifically brought up. They're aware players hate that kind of nerf and don't like doing it.

There'll likely be two sides to every OP datacron. There are probably people who hated their Rey getting beaten by Vader and Wat. Look at the reaction of LV owners who hate the Fennec counter.
