This is pretty outrageous. The new raid will require characters from 3 Eras! 9 months of just the Marquee events! Free-to-play players won’t have the last characters until 7 months into the raid’s life cycle if it launches in July. Not to mention you also need a new Legendary character and two Conquest characters.
I always assumed we were going to have two squads of Jedi Vanguard, the Mace Windu team and a team of leftovers maybe bolstered in the same way the Luminara team is in the Naboo raid. Now, unless CG would like to clarify, it seems apparent that we get one Jedi Vanguard team and two Pirates. We might technically get a second Vanguard team in the form of existing characters meant to be used if you don’t have the new Vanguards but I don’t think they will be meant to be able to achieve a max score and if you have the new characters, the leftovers most likely won’t be intended to get any kind of good score on their own.
But the real insult is that the final two squads won’t be available when the raid launches even if you are the whaliest of big spenders. They simply won’t be released on time. The Uber Krakens can’t send five teams into the raid on day one no matter what they spend and free-to-play will be lucky if they have five teams after nine months and the raid becomes obsolete.
CG should delay the raid’s release until all characters are actually available some way in game. Just what exactly made anyone over there think this was a good idea?
