New meta

Just 1-2 weeks after I get one.

I would expect one or the other to be in the top team (though maybe not as the leader) until the next set of Galactic Legends is released.

Best personal guess on that - end of the year(ish).

Probably one or two more major character releases (Legendary/Journey/Epic) before then as well - those May shake up the compositions of the top teams, but will likely see a GL in there.

I think even more than Arena, the game could stand to see anther Legendary ship to break the monotony there, the top hundreds of any halfway mature shard is pure maxed GK or GG fleets these days (many players having both) with only the occasional other composition in there more for fun than anything else.

I think we will see two new GLs at the start of new year, with details coming out by end of this year.

I got the feeling it’ll be based on the original trilogy. But the only thing that could be a stumbling block for F2P players is that a R7 Jedi Knight Luke is one of the requirements, plus we will get a new Empire toon according to a recent datamine and we got Chewie&3po and Mon Mothma, which isn’t farmable yet.

I don’t know what GL they would bring out for the original trilogy considering the main characters already exist (Emperor, Darth Vader and JKLS.)

Or they may give up on the GL side (not likely but you never know with CG!)

Maybe they’ll add more relic levels.

If you save up 100K crystals before next year and start slow farming those newer ships/characters you should be ok

Can you picture all the GL owners crying because a new toon destroys them? Power creep so hard that noe the only thing they can do is keep GL/future GLS as the meta

They are already crying that Vader can do that. :D

Can you imagine GL owners being the first to unlock the new meta (again) and you coming back to the forums and complaining about it (again) like you've been doing it since Malak?

I don't know why anyone would want a new meta when the "old" meta is only just now becoming accessible to people.

I want a new meta because the old meta is only just now becoming accessible to people who aren't me.

I really hope it is next year, it would be pretty rough to get to having both and luke and then it changes soon, like this great comment:

it's only been 5 months since the events launched, and with the requirements (which were announced many months sooner, in December 2019 maybe? then just the first set of reqs in january) being so tough, the meta should be longer and extended. new toons like jkl/vader rework-type things can help extend as well, while also making it so lower (than GL/Double GL) level players can compete for a while. imo

I would give anything for the next meta not to involve galactic legends at all.

Pretty sure that ship has sailed. I dont think we will see any team being META for a while that doesn't contain a GL. I understand being pragmatic and holding off on getting these GLs if you are far behind, but they are not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Even if they add more, they are not likely to completely supplant these GLs.

That and what rationale and even what mechanics would they put on a character to be able to beat a GL or GL team? Snoke or Emperor would be the only 2 reasonable, imo, and we are indeed due for a final Emperor. It would be pretty cool if they released Final Emperor as an easy to obtain JKL-type of release where only if you made a dumb decision like ignore Thrawn would you be missing out. I mean, they pretty much did it with Vader.

Being unable to use >1 GL in a squad means it’s a possibility that new GLs supplant the existing ones.

I do find some posters in these threads funny though. They want a new meta that they can access quickly and with little investment on their part - as if the GL owners won’t instantly obtain that meta as well.

What I want is fun characters to work towards. These gls are terrible so I am skipping them completely. I don't care what the next meta is as long as I don't have to worry about timeouts in mirror matches and gearing up worthless characters I will be happy.

We need a fleet meta change asap it's been negotiator or malevolence for way to long. Cg once again ignoring ships.
