The Nightsister Problem is the Same as Nutini

For those of you that don't know, Nutini was a HAAT team that was used to solo entire phases. The team was made famous by a player named Lugo and was discovered only a few months after the raid was released. This team required very little resource commitment and could post huge scores to get big rewards for very little investment. And for this reason, CG nerfed Nutini.

The main issue with nightsisters is the exact same thing. I am in a launch shard and finish top 10 quite regularly. I've had to work my butt off for over 2 years gearing toons and farming mods to become "arena worthy".

But now, anybody can climb to the top 10 if they run nightsisters, who are quite easy to gear. I've seen a night sister team at 80k power with no zetas beat a rebel team with 7 zetas and 110k power. Players with 1 million GP are competing with players with 3+ million GP. So the issue here is the same as Nutini, imo. Players are getting top level rewards with very little investment.

Nerfs have happened in the past; Poe and Yoda for example. For the sake of the game, please realize your mistake again, CG, and fix NS. I'll give you an idea for a quick and logical fix; NS zombie's "revive cannot be prevented" should be locked behind a zeta for starters.

I know the vast majority of the player base agrees with me, even the players that run NS in my arena are starting look for something different but nothing matches up to the offense of NS and I cant imagine any other faction coming close in the future without some outlandish backlash.

    I'm not having a problem. I'm sick of seeing new names in my shard with only 1M GP. They haven't worked to get to that level of play. They're just exploiting an OP team that is easily accessible to the masses, which is bad for the game


    I dont think so. It forces whales and elder players to gear up new teams to compete instead of fielding the same 6-8 toons all the time. If you are not having a problem and many teams can counter them, then its not broken. For some reason you dont want to adapt. If you dont need to adapt them you are just complaining about "young whippersnappers" moving in on your territory. That is not a valid argument.

    And no, I dont run Nightsisters.

    But the real point people have, that you guys really aren't addressing is... Whats wrong with having NS be able to be meta or beat the meta, do everything they can do now, whatever, but need to match appropriate investment that other teams have, like at least gear levels, to do so?

    Why would it be WRONG for NSZ to need to be gear 12 or 11 to do what she can do now at g6 against G12 teams?

    Why do you guys seem so against the idea of more investment == more success?

    P.S:
    Weak old ben btw was a dumb gimmick that was actually never top meta and didn't hold popularily for very long at all.

    A weak zombie being usefull is no different than a no gear Ackbar would actually be prefered in a hAAT team (AA(L), Assaj, CLS, BB8 and Thrawn). You really want AA to just die ASAP, so that only CLS will be called to assist.


    Ha! I stripped all AA’s mods off for exactly this reason.

    Not a perfect analogy, as a stronger Zombie is still far more advantageous then a weaker one, but fairly apt none the less.
  • Nutini and nightsisters aren't even close to the same thing.

    The problem with the nutini comp was that it would let you solo an entire phase of (what was at the time) end game content with NO ONE geared over g8.

    Nightsisters work... but not if you have them all g8. If you are seeing all g8 nightsisters take over your launch shard, then post a pic, and you have a valid complaint. I don't believe that will be the case though, at least 3 of them are going to be well geared, I'm sure, and likely 4 of them.


    No, what the nightsisters resemble, is Old Ben. People used to do the same thing with him: leave him really undergeared and get a big advantage out of it.

    They never nerfed that. I understand you don't like seeing blue gear characters at the top of the list, but that doesn't make it an actual mistake, or exploit. It doesn't mean we should compare apples and oranges like Nutini to nightsisters. Compare similar things instead like old ben and zombie.
  • cool, ANOTHER nerf ns thread. mods, can we get a separate forum for these? it's like 50 a day.

    ps would love to see a vid of 3* MT wrecking meta cls.
  • Who else here runs Nightsisters and loves it when people rage about them? I mean, what exactly is broken about them? Besides zombie, Boba, Nihilus, and Death Trooper can prevent them from reviving, Plague can be cleaned by anyone with a healing ability, and characters with AOEs can destroy them within seconds.
  • Night sisters are only good because the CLS, Triple cleanse and Zarriss teams killed all AOE, critt based and assist teams. So only single attacking teams survived and NS are very effective against those.

    Why run a team that is so easy to beat?

    Pretty much this. I’m gearing up and buying shards for Talzin, mostly because I already have a zeta maxed gear Ventress and g11 Daka, but doubt I’ll use them for much besides TW and fillers for Platoons and D squad in DSTB.
