Maybe it’s not that different to preloading Geos when they launched?
— Step 1 = accept that most of us aren’t touching phase 4/5/6
— Step 2 = R6 key teams to take part in phase 1 and 2
— Step 3 = R7 Inquis ? to reach Reva
— Step 4 = R7 key teams to consolidate P2 and P3

And just like GeoTBs when they launched stick to the preceding TB - in that case Hoth until Step 2 is achieved… what do I know though ?‍♂️

This.

My initial reaction to the R8/9 requirements was negative too. The more I think about it, the more I am landing on this same thought. Yes, it does suck that most people won’t access this TB, and even those that do -will not- access the latter half of it. We will get to play it - just not all of it. That’s not that different than LS Geo.

However, most people’s short-term planning shouldn’t change based on this. If you’re working on Inquisitors, a GL, Aphra, etc., you’ll still need to complete those plans, as you’ll need them for the TB. If you’re not there yet, this is not the content for you (not trying to be mean about it - it’s just not designed for middle and lower end players - it’s designed as a challenge to high-end players). I suspect the biggest change will be for some late/end game players who have been avoiding Inquisitors will have to suck it up and do them. That being said, with GI and later with Reva, I doubt people will be quite as disappointed in them as when the faction was first presented.

I do have to agree with some other earlier comments too. If they didn’t gate it, and we just went in with underpowered characters, we’d be -even more- angry than we are with relic gates.
