[MEGATHREAD] Road Ahead: June 2022 - Datacrons

I wonder if these datacrons are gonna increase timeouts.

I'm excited! Seems like a fun way to bring underused squads and characters into the spotlight. As long as they don't just use them to push new factions (looking at you, inquisitors) and overpower galactic legends...

that was the promise of Galactic Challenges and then it turned in to promoting the newest characters..

CG, still not "engaged" with yourself game so no money from me

So now cheaters can hide behind datacrons as excuses and no one will ever be able to know if someones cheating. Smooth move CG.

So when will they address the fact that i cant get to gear 11 with ease?

Example Raddus droped today but i need more carbanti materials to get him past gear 9.

Can we get thr second wave of gear economy rework befoee we get new resource to do

CG you are an absolutely terrible company! This is total crap and you're just looking for more ways to suck money out of people instead of making features that the people will actually enjoy and want.

Importantly, Datacrons are intended to primarily be a separate and complementary economy, in parallel to the current set of progression systems without substantially interfering with a player’s existing resource management - in a way that gives more long-term value to your overall collection.

Not gonna lie, this is impressive. You've managed to twist a complete waste of money with no permanent benefit whatsoever into "more long-term value". Didn't convince me to buy the bridge but still, that is some salesmanship right there.

I’m sure I’ll echo the sentiment of most people here is saying “But… why?”

It serves no purpose but add an extra economy into the game. CG knows how unpopular the TW faction bonuses were back then, and they still think this new thing is something people want?…

Although really CG, you give the strongest characters in the game the datacron abilities? C'mon now. Abilities like Yoda and Ezra look cool and interesting. Galactic Legend datacrons just look ridiculous. Yay, let's use the exact same teams we were using before but let's make the ones that were already OP even crazy stronger!

If you want to give meta toons datacrons, give them something that changes how they can be used. Not necessarily stronger, but simply a different look.

I really enjoyed some of the abilities for non-meta toons

Ezra's datacron ability makes me think what his relic ability would be like

Gaining % damage per allied Relic Level is super cool

Apparently we can't. Gear situation must be fine. In their opinions, at least.

hey what if we took our complicated wall of text abilities and added more walls of text...https://i.imgur.com/1oVF91E.jpg
