New Galactic Legends

I don’t disagree that a very small
Percentage will have the other GLs and JKL unlocked-
But I think we are well past the idea of playing this game on rails. We don’t know all the requirements yet but hopefully most of them end up being unique to these GLs.
Newer players than us can farm and play and target any one of the GLs or legendaries without having to follow the cadence that we have.

How many people will have completed 2 GLs + JKL when this event goes live? This is just too soon.

We'll see how things play out, but I really wanted to go SLKR after GL Rey, but for guild-support reasons (read: we're working to get better at LS GeoTB) I needed JKL and we don't know when the event recurs, so I had to go all in on that. I'm pretty darn close (2 more Stun Guns to get ROLO to g12, 2 more gear pieces each to get CHS and Lando to g13, everyone else done), so I'm hopeful as long as JKL doesn't return before Friday and lasts a full week. I'm confident, really, if JKL's event doesn't end for a full 15 days from now (starts next Wed night or later and lasts 1 week).

But then I have huge work to do to get ready for SLKR b/c I have no gear stash anymore. Since I didn't have a large number of Relic toons before the GL craziness started, I'm finding that all my Relic toons are chosen for me, and it's making me realize this:

The ridiculous GL requirements are standardizing rosters for a large % of endgame players. The exceptions are the krakens, who have everything relic'd anyway, and the few who really don't care about getting the GLs. But of course the people that don't care about the GLs are going to be entirely rare. Who plays this game so much that they have multiple relic toons but doesn't care about having the most powerful toons in the game? Sure there are some people, but not that many.

The end result of this, then, is to standardize PvP - the game mode with the most variety. Though even now it isn't perfect and people tend to reuse the same successful teams in TW & GAC, this heavy standardization of the relic roster is going to make PvP more boring, not more exciting.

And I was really looking forward to Mon Mothma as side character - a toon that had a wonderful, narrow role in which it excels but one that was entirely optional as she didn't affect the meta. I thought that was a great idea and a great improvement where people could feel more free to make their own decisions about what to prioritize.

But no.

I repeat: THIS IS TERRIBLE.
