New TB info: MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR Complaints

In light of @MasterSeedy 's great retrospective on his initial take, I decided I wanted to do the same for myself.

I'm still holding out on hate until we see the thing and get a sense for rewards and fun.

I definitely don't hate it. I'm... reasonably satisfied. I like the themed combats. It's a refreshing break from Geo. I like the idea that it could receive updates to keep it fresh. I like that the Reva mission seems pretty doable with the requirements listed. I think the first 3 zones of CMs are tuned appropriately. There are problems and concerns that I have with it, but I think TB3 the good outweighs the bad.

But based on the updated options in the GET store, I'm not encouraged that GET3 is going to materially accelerate our ability to get to r8/9.

No change in opinion here. Haven't seen a rewards crate yet, so there's still hope.

I am not a fan of people comparing this to LS Geo TB. First of all...

Wordy and not relevant to my retrospective.

And we knew because we were able to test things with our G12 teams to decide which teams were viable and should be promoted to r3/5/7 etc to make them work. For this one, looks like we'll just have to let the whales tell us what works and do as we're told. As someone else put it, this is hardly "playing", it's just following orders like mindless drones.

I'm still very annoyed by the arbitrary relic gates. But, as the CMs are tuned through Zone 3, I feel like I needn't worry so much about what will/won't work.

Also, CG keeps releasing toons that we have no need to farm quickly on Cantina nodes (e.g. Krr, Hondo), which makes relic levels harder to attain.

Still annoyed by these. Hondo on Cantina does nothing to help me. I still need the droids, who are on hard nodes, and Sana, who isn't farmable yet. It's effectively a signal data tax, imo.
