The weird new trend regarding future content

Speculation on future content of this game has always been one of the main points of discussion among this community. However, lately, every rumor I heard (Revan, Hux, new Capital ships...) includes speculation about specific toons required. I know Revan has been confirmed not to be coming, but everyone heard that we're going to need Sith Trooper & Sith Assassin, and some theories included HK47, Jedi Counselor, and Jedi Knight Guardian. Now I've seen people asking if FOE, FOSFTF, and KRU will be required for Hux, and a thousand other theories requiring specific toons to unlock.

Now, the only 2 toons I've seen that required anything more specific than a faction, are the Hero's Journey toons - CLS & JT Rey. The next closest requirement is Thrawn (who required 5 out of the 6 Pheonix toons) & the Chimera (5/6 rebel ships), and those 2 required a whole faction.

IMO, speculation is a fun process that can make this game more fun. I'm doing it all the time in my guild. But, can we please go back to more reasonable speculation? Not every new toon is going to be a Hero's Journey one. Revan, while awesome, isn't iconic enough to earn more than a legendary toon status (not a bad place to be - equal to R2, Yoda, and the Emperor? Quite a rank). Let's all remember how the game works and go back to speculating on a level that might actually happen. Otherwise, we'll always get disappointed.

    To be fair the hero's journies are for the heroes of the journies we follow.
    Luke and rey for their respective trilogies, hopefully a heroes fall for anakin eventually but we also followed the story of Revan in the games. He isn't a really good supporting character he's the main character in the story. I wouldn't be mad if he was just a legendary event, but I can also see why people may have thought he would be part of a heroes journey.

    It surprises me how quickly people jump to conclusions anymore. There's a whole post going around that Snoke is coming now just because KRU and FOSFTFP are now farmable. I feel like we've thrown logic out the window and are just using any excuse to say that everything is a hint towards something we wish was going to happen (but clearly isnt).

    ...the game from another game company.

    CG would need license to make Revan. Will that company release the license? How much will it cost CG?
    I don’t want to burst any bubbles here but, I think it’s pretty doubtful to ever get Revan at all. That said, surprises are usually good and one never knows. Until then, if I want to play Revan, I’ll play Kotor.

    Sobey’s doesn’t sell President’s Choice products and they’re both owned by the same company.

    I could be wrong but, I think it’s more complicated than it is easy.

    @Kyno - we need this STAT!


    My last run foil hat comment saw some bad responses....

    Overall speculation is fun and interesting, that is always one of our favorite threads that pop up after the what's ahead goes out.

    I'm not sure what reliable speculations is, by definition isn't that almost an oxymoron. Much like an educated guess.

    I think this type of over-the-top speculation is because now we're all conditioned to assume that the release model for any desired character is going to really suck (read: be exorbitantly expensive), so speculation along reasonable lines feels naive.

    Funny thing is, one of the products of this sort of speculation is CG/EA make money because sometimes people jump the gun and spend money on the speculated requirements. I know I spent some crystals farming Sith Trooper and Sith Assassin I now wish I could have back...lol. :(

    EA wins again...

    They have come up with different ways of requiring specific characters, like TB missions. I think it’s worth assuming any character might eventually be required for something.

    But yes, most of the crazy speculation that gets thrown around (and then turned into rumors) ignores how the game works and makes no sense.
