Release Cadence

So i just want to make sure I am understanding things correctly.

CG communicates a rough release cadence towards the beginning of the year. Characters will be released in an event and premium packs > chromiums/shipments> farmable 2-3 months after the were originally released.

They follow that cycle for roughly 4 months. Then release 4 characters and a capital ship outside that cycle (R2-D2, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Commander Luke Skywalker, BB-8, Chimera),while dropping the ball on the ewoks and taking 4 months to make them farmable.

Then we get a new set of characters that will "follow" the release cadence except have no olans to actually be farmable for the foreseeable future?

They were only like 2 days over due on the ewoks , and all that other stuff didn't come from Marquee events so they won't follow the cadence

My apologies, i remembered (incorrectly) them being released in June.

The reason I brought up the others is because it would appear as if they were released that way to specifically NOT follow the cadence they alreqdy said they would

All Marquee event characters have followed cadence ewoks were only like 2 days over due

Dk dt Dn Sa St phoenix and their ships 2 of the ewoks the 2 vets have all followed the Marquee standard only wicket/mt just get an event as their farmable location

Firstly thank you for recognizing your mistake.

They have not missed any release dates since the cadence was a thing and it was specifically geared towards marquee event toons.

the other toons you have listed are all Legendary events and do not fall into the same category.

The MT and Wicket are following a modified version as they will not be dropped into any shipments but only be farmable through the events. The Zombie and Spirit will be event farmable with the possibility of going somewhere else eventually but there is no cadence wait.

The cadence came from a place where toons were "released" and then fell into a void and no one knew anything. The spirit of the cadence is to have a plan where the toons being released will end up being farmable without the void. I believe all the plans we are seeing right now all fall into the spirit of the cadence. at least IMHO.

the length of farm after that point is up for debate but that is not the current topic here.

They haven't violated the cadence since they specifically said that some characters would have different sorts of events that wouldn't fall under it. Whether those other methods are reasonable is another question. Legendary events/hero's journeys aren't a problem so long as the characters needed for them are farmable, which they all have been (though some not for very long at the first instance of the event). You can get these characters 7* in a reasonable timeframe by farming their requirements. The heroic battles are another matter since at 10 shards a month it will take quite a long time to 7* these characters.

@Kyno. I really do love your work Brother. Always quick to respond. You truly are a brilliant modertor.

What's the deal with the character release cadence?

We have Wicket and MT as Marquee events that have an altertion so that they don't follow the normal release cadence. We also have Zombie and Spirit who are not marquee events so do not follow the release cadence.

What is the point of having a release cadence if it's not going to be followed?

Also they said Wicket and MT would farm at a similar rate to a Hard node farm which by my maths would make them a weekly event, as getting around 10 shards a week from a single hard node would be slightly below average.

2 YEARS if u don't fall into the trap of refreshing for an exorbitant amount of crystals or buying the crystal packs that will, let's face it, yield 5 shards for the vast majority. By that time there'll be that many more OP toons that she'll be useless anyway!
