To be fair, that is a pretty blunt hint.

This. Aside from capitalizing it or flat out saying "We're reworking an Empire toon whose name starts with the letter "V" and sounds like the things you hear with", it's pretty obvious that they intend to give him a rework.

even if they give a hint like that

most of the forum will assume they are talking about Vader

With the First Order and Resistance reworks, I'm really hoping for an Empire rework and not just for Veers.
If not, I'll be supremely ****, just like always.

It would seem by these last two releases that an empire counter attacking faction is what they devs are looking to create. Would be nice to see veers reworked to find a way into that kind of lineup. And maybe some others as well, although there has been no mention of it.

If for nothing else, it is incredibly fun playing a counter attack team, even if its not meta, there should be uses for them elsewhere.

Giving a set like dooku to an empire character with synergy could be incredibly fun to play with. Someone who has a stun or ability block on their basic, but that can actually do damage unlike RG. Put in Gar hitting everytime a counter is initiated and even if he isnt hitting so hard it would still be something.

Zaul leadership pretty much negates counter teams.

That in of it self is not horrible (a comp should be weak against something), the key is what will it be strong against? Rex?

Think too though for the players who are playing below top tier level. That is probably a large portion of the players logging in everyday. Think back to when you first started if you coulda had a counter attack empire team with two star toons basically given to you and some other toons readily available to farm. You could put up a killer dark side team from this, which is very important.

Whether it could compete on top tiers against everyone maybe not, but look at the big picture in the game, for early to mid game it would be dominant, and for end game, maybe still pretty good. The top 50-100 in shards may all be running zaul, but not players ranked 5000 :)

The 1 percent will always have game breaker characters, and a good portion of them spend money, but its the 99 percent otherwise who keep the game flowing with cash. And newer players, even older players, once they have a good taste of counter action, maybe they will be more inclined to buy something.

Most people on these forums think of meta, I see this game as not meta, but a business model, and what would work to draw money.

Is that a confirmed rework? Or are we just super sure because of the Empire "veering in for another pass" comment at the end of the last update notes?

I can almost guarantee it is confirmed. Seems as if veers shards have a buffed drop rate. I pulled 2 shards out of 3 bronziums the other day.

Interesting, I have pulled 3 of them in the last two days. Prior to that I pulled 0 in the last month.
