Am I alone in feeling the Power Creep is totally ruining this game?I just read Darth Revan's kit, and it's totally insane, I mean stupidly totally inane!!! Sure, it's not out yet, but Revan is so OP, he currently holds some 98% of #1 spots.... DRevan will do the same likely... and before that it was the same with Palp, and others before him.... every new legendary unit seems to be getting more and more stupidly over powered..... I've played for nearly a year, and I really feel like quitting often because of power creep pushing more and more characters into the "useless" category.Just wondering if I'm alone in thinking this. Thanks,

You are factually wrong about %98. I don't think the game is ruined, but I also consider it a bad path. My gripe is not the power creep being present at all though, it will always be present in persistent massive and payable games like this. It's the level of creep I'm interested in. First Revan went way over it for my taste. This Revan, I abstain. We don't know anything just looking at the kit. If it's just Revan no.2 in terms of level of power creep, I'll be worried about the state of the game for the future.

Everytime a new meta comes out people talk aboutnhow incredible the kits are and how they are unbeatable. It will be fine

DSR, Traya, JKR, CLS, JTR, BH, FO, Phoenix, EP are all still relevant

A sensible, logical and accurate answer.

Power creep is the game, or else no one would invest in the new characters. Better off finding a new game if you don’t like power creep.

Give it some time... Episode IX is coming out soon. Clone wars season, the madalorean... CG will restore balance eventually.

But honestly I’ve never really liked squad arena until recently. (Thanks to Revan believe it or not) and I’ve always hated HSTR... until I built my Revan team (7M Damage). He makes it so I can contribute something in TW & in GA if an opponent doesn’t have it... I win!

Ships are still my favorite part of the game... but thanks to Revan (ironically enough m) I started caring about mods. (60k health on Jolee is killer). So no I don’t think power creep is breaking the game. Every new Meta has an Achilles. And sometimes their Achilles is their biggest strength.

Or he could simply be bored with the complexity that JKR and others have introduced. He may desire something with less strategic planning and more quick results ala Danger Zone. Nothing wrong with that but to each his/her own I suppose.
