New Galactic Legends

I’m mostly annoyed that the first 4 GL are from the worst Trilogy. Like why on earth couldn’t they have released that JKL kit as Mace and then made this set of GL be JKL and Jabba?

Meh. Oh well... I no longer expect much of anything from this game.

Here's another thought, so at first im leaning towards gl jml since i went slkr first and i need some better lightside toons for geo tb, but then i thought i might have to keep going darkside since gl rey/ jml would probably be invincible in arena/tw/gac. Who are you leaning towards going for first?

You can't run two GL in the same team. There won't be any Rey/JML teams (thank god).

Finally some exciting news.

Cant wait for the double drops,coudnt care less about the gl.

It’s a bit sad as the double drops are just for 24 hours. And I doubt we’ll see the new toons being farmable for those dates. Think CG is a bit stingy. Let them run for a week at least.

Oh well can’t wait for double drops on stun guns (2x0= zero.)

Also one question I would like to be answered:

What Faction will they be in? I doubt it’ll be Jedi and Sith seeing that Rey and SLKR didn’t have them.

First impression, just got donkey kicked.

In a game with practically nowhere meaningful to use most of my roster. How can you justify this CG...

Having only just released the first GL's 4 months ago (first announcement of phase 1 Feb 10th) started the STEEPEST CHARACTER grind this game (to the best of my knowledge of all mobile gaming history); this is completely and utterly tone deaf to what the community is asking for,

Lets see what CG has done since the first GL event:

Assault Battles Tiers 1-3 (hardly new content, simply turned the difficulty meter up)

JKL (Mini Galactic Legend event, literally requires ~half the gear that a GL requires)

Galactic Challenges (beta version - added new battle mechanics and thats it)

Upgraded the framework (that they said wasn't broken I might add)

Fixed a turn-meter mechanic

Added a couple characters and reworked a few characters

Modified the GL's AI so that they destroy everything on defense

PACKS (MORE TERRIBLE PACKS)

Oh and lest we forget negotiated with known cheaters


I am sorry this is the last thing the player base needed nor wanted, fun things to do would be nice; but wait... that would cost money and the CG way is 'if you cant thinly change a mechanic that already exists then it wont happen because money'. I am sorry but something to do is what the game needs.

ie:

• New Raid, CG canned
  
• PVP (that is apparently too expensive)
  
• new TW formats
  
• maybe a new legendary event that doesnt require relics
  
• maybe a new campaign tier or similar to MSF new campaign stories
  
• maybe in guild battle modes
  
• maybe the Mace rework/GR content we were told we were getting and expected (Not the mace part but I am sorry MACE-GATE seems like a pretty real thing)
  
• heros fall event
  
• more mando content
  
• more frequent events
  
• new Grand Arena formats
  

Give us anything please, and half of what I listed is CG certified: easy to do! simply just tweaking something that already exists. extremely dissapointed and thinking the Account Black market is looking hella nice rn.

Don't forget this, from nearly a year ago:

Q: We want a sandbox mode or a way to practice our teams against guild mates teams. Why won't you give us on the community's top requests?

A: CG_Vyeking - This is not only a popular request from players outside the studio, but is one of the most popular feature requests from players inside the studio. An engaging sandbox feature is an important part of the future feature set for SWGoH and, while we cannot tell you exactly when this feature will make it to the holotables, we can tell you with certainty that a plan for this feature is 'in-the-books' as the saying goes.

It's like they set aside all their work on gameplay and worked entirely on massive paywalls.

It really feels theres like 3 pelagatos working in CG headquarters.... not even walter white s car wash was so profitable by not doing anything ???

I guess I don't know precisely when the new GL events will go live, but I think this is terrible.

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.

I honestly don't believe you, but hey. Find the quote from someone at CG, though, and you can prove me wrong.

"The ability to manipulate Mastery means Galactic Legends will be useful for a variety of teams but you can only have one Galactic Legend per team."

If the goal is to have multiple top end characters that can all beat each other....then I am happy with 2 more (and please release another 4).
Some will get them all, and I will exist in the murky waters below them where I try to pick one and hope it keeps me afloat.
I play other games without any of the top end characters, and get excited when I get close to meeting the prerequisites for a legendary event. It’s hard for us to swallow here because for so long so many of us got everything right away. The problem isn’t two more GLs right now but that the cadence was so slow for 5 years that so many of us got accustomed to having it all.
