Star Wars OC - Cade Annowarp
Im gonna mention this guy: OutrunWhistle Inspired by Starkiller and Starkiller only, I've had this idea for a month now. Born In The Light Of Events Such As The Battle Of Naboo, Cade Annowarp, Hum...
In all seriousness, I don't see the issue with OC kits. These kits are never going to be added to the game, so why does it matter if the character is canon or not? For me at least, these kits are just a fun little way to experiment with ideas that I realistically know won't ever come to the game, so why talk down to people who are just expressing their creativity?
The issue isn't creating fan kits, it's that these made up characters are pure fan fiction. As they are made up and don't exist in any official media, they're unlikely to ever appear in the game. Because actual existing characters have a better chance of being considered by the dev team regardless of how many appearances they've had, those threads would be better serving this forum that is intended for discussion of the game.
Until they create an area of the forums just for fan fiction, then I suggest your efforts would be better utilized in places intended just for it like the Star Wars Fanon wiki: https://swfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Fanon_Wiki
If people are expectant or demanding that their OC kits be added to the game, then that's a problem because the possibility of successfully navigating a political/legal field like that is approximately 3,720 to 1! (jk, but it would be a problem)
As it stands, these fan kits, while not in any way recognised by Star Wars media, are just some creative ideas. It is a shame that there isn't a dedicated section for fan kits (possibly something we could bring up with EA), but I don't see the harm. There's a lower ratio of fan kits to more relevant topics than you think, especially recently with the knightfall event.
As it says at the top of the forums section, "Discuss and share your feedback on Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes with fellow players." not "Share your fan fiction here." If you do want to suggest characters, then at least suggest ones that have officially existed in Star Wars media where you can be creative with how they would work in the game combined with their lore.
If you're disappointed by a lack of section to post fan fiction, then request to the forum mods for one. In the meantime as suggested, please post your fan fiction to the link here where it's more appropriate: https://swfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Fanon_Wiki
Why would I post a SWGOH-style kit in a forum that isn't SWGOH related? That defeats the whole purpose. If you want to continue this discussion, do so in one of my own posts so we can stop blowing up Blinks notifications.
