Rogue One Toons - When Should They Become Farmable?

In my personal opinion, I'll say that Shoretrooper should be farmable in February. That would be 5 months since his release so I'd say it's fair enough. However, he shouldn't be an easy farm as some players paid lots of $$$ for him.

For Cassain, I'd say March or April. He's great, but not the best. They're better rebels like Jyn, Baze, Lando, and Wiggs.

Speaking of Cassain, we need to remember his co-pilot known as K-2SO! As an android user, I have him 7* but still feel empathy towards apple users. I think he should just be given to Apple users. Just deliver 330 K2 shards and 2.5m credits. I forgot how many crystals were included so idk about it.

Jyn should be for May or June. May would be good as it's international Star Wars day on May 4th and that would be a great treat! But June would make sense as she's like Sun Fac: not someone you should give out easily.

For Baze, I'd say the same as Jyn.

Chirrut wouldn't hurt to be farmable sooner than later IMO as I find him threatening only when paired with Baze. Maybe April?

Bistan is kinda in a weird spot - he's not great but yet in a valuable farm (Fleet Shipments)? Maybe they can move him in a month or less to somewhere like GW where he belongs. Why trade Rex, Sun Fac, Vader, or Echo shards for Bistan? Exactly!

What are your thoughts on this controversial matter?
  • your dates are too close together, that won't happen

    Maybe give us one farmable toon a month, one farmable toon for every new one they throw into game.
  • Baze/chirr should be about a month earlier then jyn. Also shore IMO should already be farmable. He was store last month and I miss calculated on days or I would have him.

    Also I don't want k2s0. Ea can take him and cassian and shove him where the sun don't shine. I'm fine with the idea of platform exclusive but their handling of it and us finding out for other players rather then them announcing ahead of time still annoys me. I would have bought that rogue one pack with jyn/chirr except that it included cassian.
  • The Rogue One characters will become farmable when they stop generating revenue, so a while to go yet.
  • Should or will, they should become farmable sooner rather then later ( due to all the issues with the release mechanism)

    They will be released (in a way) they either make the most money for them or when they find a different way to make money.
  • While this will not happen here, for TFA all toon were placed outside Chromium immedt after release. On the other I also can't imagine that all three toons for the package (Jyn, Chirrut and Cassian) are hold off a long time.
  • I think they will not become farmable soon - look how much time needed for Rex and SF. They will just become obsolete by new OP toons

    Unfortunately right. Probably late summer perhaps. Although I really want Shore:
  • Too early to be farmable. They will probably be farmable 2 months before the release of Episode VIII since the developers will work on the Episode VIII toons. Also, you forgot mentioning SRP.
  • For most of these type games, the p2w toons only get 2-3 months of exclusivity. This game has kept some exclusive for longer, but I would assume by March or April they will start showing up.

    Any shorter and certain people won't pay for the next group, any longer and people won't pay for the next group.

    I know that sounds crazy, but if it's shorter than 2-3 months then people won't think it's worth the money to buy them to 7* and will just wait til they are available in shipments, but any longer and no one will buy the next $100 pack for three toons. I chose not to buy the R1 pack, but if I had and it's November and I'm still at 3 and 4* with Jyn/cassian/chir I would be pissed and not buy the next pack.

    Sucks when you can't use the toons you just spent $100 on in raids.
  • Keeping all the toons with an auto taunt to start the round pay only for too long is very uncool. Not having any farmable options for that mechanic is really giving us the shaft. Shoretrooper at least could go to a cantina node. Baze can stay pay only, and I'd understand. Gotta be able to pay the bills, and keep the better of the two exclusive for the whales to enjoy a bit of advantage. But give F2P some option that we can farm, so that a month from now we could have Shoretrooper if we start grinding.

    Also, thanks to the OP for your sympathy to us IOS users on K2.
