New content for non-whales

Yeah, that means they have the old game stuff to do, but human nature means people want to be involved in newer things and not be stuck way behind everyone else particularly in a game like this where "behind everyone else" means years behind.

I don't necessarily have a solution, but a new raid or brand new assault battle with multiple tiers is a potential answer.

Why do you think new players are entitled to the same things that whales or long term players are?

Should new players not have to spend a similar amount or play a similar amount of time?

Should all the money whales spent, or time long term players be totally negated so that a new person can be equal?

It is, in fact, much easier to catch up than it ever has been, but you don't hear whales complaining. Get over yourself and realize that time and money spent matters and nobody owes you anything just for coming to the party late.

Sounds a little bit like lvl10 new player complaning that one cannot go to lvl 100 vetetan dungen and play with lvl100 playets who spent years to reach that lvl...

"old" players spent month and month of sitting on Hoth. Than they lvl up to Geo.
Each lvl group has its own playground....

Sorry but that new content is not just for whales.

Having all required toons at relic 5-7 is not whale level? I suppose if you started 4 years ago it may not be, but for anyone who started later on it is not accessible anytime soon.

you are correct. having chars at those levels is hard for people that have been playing since 2015, and basically impossible for people who started not too long ago. which is fine. We at like we want everything NOW but imagine if you could start a game and have everything day 1 (or day 100, etc). Progression is the name of the game, and you have to earn your rosters. People starting today have a massive advantage in terms of knowledge compared to us who started back in the day, and can already progress faster than we did. It's a grind but the effort pays off. glgl

I wouldn't expect that account to do particularly well in Heroic Sith either. Does that mean Heroic Sith is whales-and-veterans-only? I guess maybe it does, but I don't think there's a "fix" for this. You gotta build up your roster to qualify for harder content. That's just how it works.

Also, those players have the option to aim directly for the new stuff if they really want to. I wouldn't suggest going straight for Galactic Legend Rey as a new player, but if you really wanted to make that your first goal in the game, there's no rule saying you can't.

An issue with claiming that new content is whale only content for the next 6 months is that it implies that content that was released 6 months ago is fresh new content for F2P

So the last 6 month old whale only content should be a fresh NEW content for F2P

Whales get to enjoy GL as new content and F2P get to enjoy GAS as new content

When CG releases some other whale only content in October, you can enjoy fresh new GL content then

Wow between javind, TVf & yaevisla , this May be the thread to kill the “reskin” argument for real. Good. I hope it’s true.

Reskinned is such a bogus term. Once you’ve skinned a cat , can you skin it again? Cause that would be reskinned. Or would reskinned be putting skin back on a cat after you did skin it ? Either way. It does not mean video game content that has the same structure as other video game structure.

This.

Which is why reskinners deserve more credit. It's harder than people realize.

Go Taxidermists!

Raising the difficulty is NOT new content. Bringing something like a Death Star raid would be though.
