We’ve all read the forum posts asking for the Devs to release certain toons: Mother Talzin, Jedi Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca. What if instead of releasing brand new toons to unlock, they created a prestige system to earn powerful characters. How it would work is once the toon reaches a certain point, you can prestige it. Take Luke Skywalker for example, once he reaches Gear VIII, Level 80 and 7 stars you can prestige him to Rebel Luke and start all over still collecting Luke Skywalker shards for him (the original toon could either remain or be turned into the new toon depending on developer preference). Once Rebel Luke reaches that same point, you could prestige him to Jedi Luke. This process could be used for several fan favorites: Nightsister Acolyte->Nightsister Elder->Mother Talzin; Rey->Starkiller Rey; Clone Wars Chewbacca->Chewbacca, etc. What are your thoughts?

That's a really cool idea, I like it a lot. I think they would need to keep the original toon as is on your roster or you could run into problems with missing roles in certain groups and whatnot. It's probably too much to ask for Jedi Luke, they'll want to make money off that one, but I could totally see it for characters like Chewie, Talzin, or Ahsoka.

Yeah, There's just too many reasons for it to not be a direct upgrade that changes or removes the toon you've been working on. I hadn't even thought about the new player angle until @Tigzie mentioned f2p. I still think it's a very cool way to build toward activating a new character though.

I like the idea in general. As you have it I don't think it'd work for the devs or as @Tigzie said, would potentially knock some peoples back.I would like to see a prestige system where, at a max level, you can specialize a toon. So like, now, with max gear/7star/lvl 85 - you could choose to make her Master Lumi (more fighting, new combat ability) or Forcehealer Lumi (better healing, new defense ability).Like the end of the Clone wars show - Baris should have an option to stay lightside and maybe repair protection or go darkside, and get two lightsabers and attack better5's can stay stalwart, and get some addeded defense or you can go prestige Insane 5's (when he gets his chip removed) maybe he deals damage to everyone (like 5% to his own team) but gets more attack.Assajj go prestige into Night sister mistress (staying how she is, but more numbers) - sith apprentice (gains the sith type, gains a force move) - or Bounty Hunter Assajj (gets the bounty hunter type too, gets a stealth ability like othe rnight sisters or something)I'd like to see more ways for the current toons to differentiate, so you can call them 'yours'

Love the idea !! Total thumps up

Yeah, I would lean towards the toon staying in your roster because it would be a lot of work for little reward. But I do think, with the clear exception of Rey, most of the characters that I mentioned are not great toons. I would happily give up Luke for a chance at Rebel or Jedi Luke.

Tbh I don't think they'll ever bring out 8* as the absolute outrage players would have for the shard shop unavoidably taking shards every time you go in.

As above, that is already the case with EXP. Apparently, it's also the case with some people and Sim tickets. Also, the people who have 853908609 of some gear, which is still essential wasted energy/drops.

Still, ignoring it completely, I'd like to see a Prestige Mod - (though, heck, maybe the mod is advanced with shards? Maybe just money.) Or like in SW: Battlefront just totally steal "Backgrounds" Generic ones, and you can advance your toon in a specific way that way, different then all others.

I'd like to see an ST Han who gets the ST helmet and then he can ignore penalties for being a rebel but gain imperial ones.

Point is, variation within the same toon would be great.

Maybe it's solvable by adding a "Character Mod" - basically like the current mods except they add a new ability to the character (much like a character adds a new ability to a ship, you know?) It's be nice if it changed the character. I might even like if it cost crystals to remove, as it should change the character somewhat.

I actually had a similar thought a while after mods were released. An ability mod that would add a single extra passive ability to a toon. For example: add 70% counter chance; add 10% heal after using basic move; increase the duration of all buffs by one turn; or decrease the duration of all debuffs to one turn. I think that could also go a long way towards creating a personalized toon. Royal guard with crazy potency and a counter ability: stun-city.
