My thoughts on the new Update
Let's get the big one out of the way first - Relic Delta. I'll be very bold and say I don't mind it. It's certainly made the Assault Battles easier, and R7 Drevan and BSF cakewalk the Malak event. Just because I could, I let Malak drain all four of the Jedi and still won.
However - that's only because I'm the one at the advantage here. It's great for the ones with higher levels, but the complete opposite for those on the lower end. My Traya got something like 3 tapped by POW in TW. Not experienced it in GAC yet, but I'm trepidatious. Even against higher level opponents I could still win if I played my cards right, but I don't think those counters are going to work anymore, at least not nearly as well. I could make by with a G12 Chewpio and 3PO in my CLS team for now, but the usefulness of that team has, I worry, dropped quite significantly against even an R5 team with the inclusion of Relic Delta. I'm sure new counters will be found, bur punch-ups are going to be much more difficult when they were already an uphill battle to begin with.
The Colosseum - ehhhh..... I don't like it. Feels like another thing where you defeat a copy pasted enemy over and over again. You get one cool cutscene when the boss is first introduced, and that's about it. Progressing the era units is too slow for enjoyment, and the increments they level up in are near negligible. It's nice that the projections expect fully F2P players to have them at G12 when they unlock, but as has been raised before, why invest in a character months before you can use them outside of one gamemode? Something that I haven't seen raised yet is that most of these units seem geared towards one team specifically, and it's just more cookie cutter stuff. The ability names as well are weird, especially for Luke...it seems like they just pulled off random quotes. Having his Unique be called Something Just Moved Past My Leg has nothing to do with the contents of the ability, but that's just a nitpick from me. At least DVDE seems like a really good unit to have.
