It is funny what people read and interpret from a post.
Give new character releases the pomp and circumstance they deserve.
This is happening. Just look at all the speculation and "confirmed" source information that is flying around prior to the release.
Release new characters more regularly to keep the game fresh.
Don't know about fresh but we are definitely getting new characters more regularly
Get the characters into your hands!
This never stated getting a 7* character in your hands. Prior to these marquee events and regular "legendary" events most new characters went chromium or audrium only meaning only way to unlock was spend crystals. With the exception of CLS all the new characters have been obtainable at less than 7* at a higher rate for FTP than they ever were.
As far as the timelines there is that word "approximately" in there that means just that. It is the plan can be delayed.
move the characters to Chromium packs and/or relevant Category packs and/or the Shard Shop
or doesn't mean they are going it is optional which the powers that be decided they are not going to do.
characters will move to either a Shipment or a node on the Light, Dark, or Cantina Battle tables
This new cadence was introduced starting with Darth Nihlus, Sith Assasin, and SIth Trooper. Which all characters since (except wicket) has followed.
They also never said how easy/fast or whatever you want to call it that there were going to be to get when they moved to "board"
Even though wicket and mother talzin will not be going to "board" the same way they are still going to board.
as for wicket they gave you 12 weeks to work on the characters needed to work on him and even ended up giving you 20 shards for their screw up to get the 5th ewok to 4*. It is not like this was a sudden development. Same with mother talzin they gave you ~12 weeks notice to work on getting 5 NS to be able to do the event.
Our current plan is to have nearly all of our new characters (aside from some VERY special characters which we plan to release through “Yoda-styled” events) released through the new event structure for the near future.
It was also stated that not every character would be released thru marquee style events.
Just because they have 2 characters going the Heroic event farming route doesn't mean that every new character is going that route. Does it suck for some yeah but I don't really see any "violation" of release cadence. Hell I love the heroic battles it is nice doing something else besides sim, sim, sim, sim, kitten about drop rate, sim, sim, sim kitten about drop rate repeat.
Well thought, better said. I think the main gripe is the time for a ftp to get these toons to 7*. I understand they probably won't say anything about that till months from now but personally I have no problem with the events- they just need to shorten the time or have the events re occur more often. Also I hope it's a trend of rounding out factions. Also MT has a new debuff and I think people are in fear of missing out on her if Ns become arena meta. As far as cadence I'm pretty sure they have been on the ball and accurate with every release. So next up would be Vet Smugs around Nov. 23rd
Absolutely. Gripes are just better heard when they are accurate. One of the dev's stated that running once a month is the same as hard node farm. That is not the truth. Even if you saved the 800 crystals to refresh the event when it comes around that is only 20 Shards a month. Hard node farm is an average of 30 shards a month.
I love the events and wish they would be more often then what it looks like they plan to run them.
