Order 66 raid concerns

The new order 66 raid was announced and as a long time player I’m quite concerned with the direction it is going in.

 The required units are not what a majority of players would call lore accurate aside from Jedi Vanguard and dark side clones.

 The overemphasis on new characters will be a struggle for free to play and newer players to earn in order to achieve decent scores. This can severely demotivate the player base.

 The possibility of rewards from the Naboo raid being nerfed lingers in the back of players minds as the focus shifts to this newer content.

I simply don’t understand why the raid couldn’t be:

Pick an Anakin and clone troopers to raid the Jedi Temple.

0 score modifier for Jedi Knight Anakin with any clones.

2x score modifier for General Skywalker with 501st clones.

4x score modifier for Lord Vader and the new dark side clones.

 The phase transition introduced in Naboo could be scenes from Order 66 like Plo Koon getting taken out in his Star fighter or Commander Cody firing on Obi-Wan.

 Sure Rex, Echo, Fives, and phase one clone trooper don’t make sense for lore accuracy but they could be substituted with other clones that took part in Order 66. Makes more sense to do it this way than include pirates, Bad Batch units that don’t appear until a few years after Order 66, or Tarkin.

 Thoughts?

  • very good alternative, both lore wise and playability.

    Unfortunatly, CG chooses another route, new characters to whale on or get left behind. It has been said mutliple times already that pirates have no place in this raid... still its new income, Bad batch as you said: not present, but thats no problem, CG creates another batch (see what i did there) of BB that are, if you want to get technical farther away from raid event in timeline then the once we already got.  Another alternative could have been yoda vs palps fight. But yeah, new characters, even if they don't make sence, make money

    I feel like Yoda vs Palpatine should be for a Grand Master Yoda (Exile) and Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine GL. 

    I understand the general idea is that the new characters being required for the raid “makes money” but what if it doesn’t? What if this fumbles the bag and turns off so many players from playing the game? The game can only do so much to hold onto the players that spend like crazy on every bundle.

  • I agree with you 100%, creating new characters should always add something new and should make people/fans want to get them.

    I really think they had a brainstorm session: person a) what do players like in videogames? - person b) what about pirates, those games sell good! - person c) Yeah but doesn't really fit the current theme, maybe next era? - Boss person) i like it, create it and go with it!!! - person a to c) ??????
