Republic Tags and Separatists
UPDATE: This was my first ever post and my tone was rather… harsh and immature. I want to update it because I think there was valuable information in here that could be expanded upon. Thank you.
This covers a broad range of topics regarding the Separatists and the Republic, so bear with me, but I would love to hear feedback and thoughts. First off, I applaud the devs for the new QOL update! We love it and there are some great things! We also appreciate how you have notified us on how characters will be released. It gives me hope as a FtP player knowing that I can get my favorite characters sooner or later. This game listens to its audience and answers pretty well so thanks for your hard work and we hope that you listen to what most of us would like to see in the near future.
February was a month dedicated to the Dark Side. Besides that, November, December and January were all heavily dedicated to Rebels characters and now March and April and Phoenix (more rebels) oriented. I’m sure many of us would like to see more emphasis on Dark Side characters. Sure, Boba got a rework and Krennic and Deathtrooper were introduced (but aren’t playable at high levels unless you’re parents are billionaires) before February but just three toons compared to all Rogue One characters? Yeah, there were new Sith Toons, Sith buffs, FO zetas and buffs, but what about Nightsisters (Mother Talzin), Tuskens (we need more), Poggle the Lesser buff (he’s useless for a general),General Pong Krell, Droid Zetas, Bounty Hunters (Maybe introducing Jango Fett, Bossk, Aurra Sing, Embo, Hondo Ohnaka, and Zuckuss!) Can we please get another (longer) Dark Side focus please?
Separatists
What the separatists need is a good leader. I think Dooku’s leadership ability should have a drastic rework! Especially since Maul’s is much better anyways and because Dooku was basically in charge of the Separatists (under Sidious of course, but that’s beside the point). Have Dooku give Separatists crazy good bonuses. (I will do a Dooku and General Grievous move-set rework idea in a later post, I just want character ideas with synergy). Let’s bring the Geonosians and Droids together like they should be (NOT B2 Battle Droid with Jawa Engineer) and give them massive synergy. Make Separatists Great Again! After all, the galaxy was fought over by 6 major groups: The Republic/Jedi/Clones and the Separatists, The Rebels and Empire, The Resistance and the First Order. So why not make the Separatists more viable in Arena like the other teams are?
Future Separatist characters:
- JANGO FETT. Where is he!? It would be cool if you released him the same way you released the Darth Nihilus Event. Jango Fett is the main 4* character with Aurra Sing, Hondo Ohnaka, and/or Bossk as the other 3 characters at 3*. Search for “Jango Fett” by me in the search bar to see my proposal and move-set idea of him. Jango Fett could be a Separatist/Bounty Hunter (and maybe a Clone?), to give some new beef to the Separatists and those who haven’t farmed B2 Battle Droid yet or General Grievous.
- DROIDEKA. Maybe Droideka could be released with a Dooku and Grievous/Magna Guard rework with B1 Battle Droid as the other character at 3*. Search for “Droideka” by me in the search bar to see my proposal and move-set idea of it.
You know what else we need? DROID ZETAS! It would be cool if you included a Zeta material or two on the last node of the final Event and make it very difficult, or even make a Zeta event come around every month or so. After all, it doesn’t matter if we miss these events because they will be farmable in a few months anyways, right? So reward those who are powerful enough to get them! They’ve probably put money into this game anyways.
Also, would suggest to have Nute Gunray be the Fleet Commander (give people the incentive to farm him and throw money at you to get him leveled up quick since he sucks and nobody has him), as well as giving a ship to Asajj Ventress, the Ginivex Class Starfighter, Dooku’s Punworcca 116-Class Sloop, and General Grievous’ Soulless One would be an epic addition to ships with great Separatist synergies! The reason I suggest Nute as the commander is again, so that people farm and use him. More money for you guys. Plus, the latter three all have/had personal ships in the Clone Wars, books, and even movies so again, more money for you guys and it gives the Separatist Ship faction many people to work with.
*On a side note, Asajj Ventress and Kylo Ren NEED the Sith tag. I understand if Kylo doesn’t because of some new thing to be revealed for Ep. 8 (Knights of Ren, maybe?), but if not then he should be a Sith since he idolized Darth Vader. Asajj definitely needs one because she was the (secret) apprentice of a Sith. Darth Maul was an apprentice and he was still a Sith, so why not Asajj?
Republic
Now for the Light Side. I want to start by stating that Jedi Consular, Rex, Fives, Clone Sergeant, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, and Ahsoka Tano's SHIPS are the only things in the game so far that have the "Republic" tag. I don't think that Jedi CHARACTERS (Squad ground combat) should be labeled as “Republic,” just like they already are in the game due to them being part of their own "Order," because they just served the Republic. So having only their SHIPS(Fleet space combat) labeled as "Republic" makes sense.
On a side note, please give the Jedi a simple rework instead like myself and many others want (Mace Windu , Kit Fisto, introduce Ki-Adi-Mundi, etc.) Also, it would be nice to see Anakin's yellow Eta-2 Actis-class Interceptor ship from Episode 3, along with General Kenobi's maroon and gray ship of the same brand, or even his yellow Delta-7B. Great synergy with them would be cool.
Future Republic characters:
- (Queen) Padmé Amidala (Attacker, Support)
- Naboo Royal Guard (Panaka) (Tank)
- Naboo Royal Fighter Pilot (Attacker)
- Sabe (Support) (with some stealth synergy with Padmé perhaps)
- and maybe even Finis Valorum as Leader/Support to tie them together.
Release them in a super awesome event where we have to fight them using the Separatists we just upgraded and received.
Padmé, Panaka, and Naboo Royal Fighter Pilot could all have "Republic" ships too! Padmé could have her J-type Diplomatic Barge (Naboo Cruiser) and Panak and Naboo Royal Fighter Pilot could have the classic and iconic N-1 Starfighters.
Gungans (Hear me out on this)
With new Republic characters, you could eventually release Gungans. I know, I know, I DO NOT want Gungans to be the new meta for this game as much as the next original trilogy Star Wars fan, but I do like the prequels enough to allow them into my heart because they are part of the same universe. If you're gonna have Nightsisters (who were NEVER in the movies) be in this game, why not the Gungans who helped the Republic win over the Trade Federation (aka Separatists) in the Phantom Menace? I would say NO MORE than 5 Gungans would suffice and they should NOT have any ships. I mean, Tuskens are in this game and hardly anybody ever uses them (but I would like to see a Faction Pass on them!)
- Boss Nass (Leader)
- Jar Jar Binks (Tank with high evasion and a droid Stun bomb)
- Captain Tarpals (support)
- Jowil (attacker)
- Bow (or Teers, Been, or Lunker, etc. Again, only 5 Gungans are enough.)
Give them some anti-droid synergy with the other Republic characters (since they worked together on Naboo). Again, droid users can't complain because they will get a Zeta so they shouldn't lose to a Gungan team unless they were maybe Gear XI with awesome 5* mods (I mean, they DID win on Naboo). This will also give many prequels lovers the ability to use Jar Jar Binks if they like him (who could have some pretty cool move sets IMO), as well as the satisfaction of killing him for those who despise him.
- In conclusion, I'm just sayin' that there is obviously a "Republic" tag so who could those future characters be? Inevitably, one of them is going to be Padmé Amidala, who I think could be a great addition and is one of Star Wars most iconic characters as it's who Darth Vader loved and fell to the Dark Side for. So I logically thought who could go along with her besides Jedi, since she shouldn't have hardly any synergy with them (besides Anakin maybe) considering she isn't one. That's why I clarified that Jedi shouldn't get the Republic tag unless they are fighting in space (along with the Clones). Other Republic characters could be the Naboo soldiers who we saw fight in Phantom Menace, their ships, and Gungans. That will give the Separatists a reason to become more powerful than they are because of the Republic boost in power. It would be cool if Separatists had anti Jedi, Republic and Clone synergy as well as Republic having anti Separatist/Droid synergy. I just rather see Republic and Separatists before more future Rebels, please!
