The last big bout of communication restored my faith in CG and made me excited for the direction the seem to have. I think the new TB and Clone Wars content as well GA championship will be the next great thing in this captivating game.I really wish/hope they include these things in the coming update(s):1) PLEASE put mk8 biotech implant salvage (gold eyeballs) back in HAAT rewards. If I have run out of my stockpile of thousands then I know this a problem for a lot of players. Plus HAAT rewards were supposed to get more useful but don’t seem much better anyway (Rancor is much more relevant rewards and HAAT should surpass Rancor)2) New capital ships to revitalize stale ship arena and be able to utilize all our ships.3) Fix B1 Kit so he dispels locking debuffs as Fracture, Isolate, Plague shouldn’t effect the entire “Army” of B1s, just those attacked.4) The highly requested Mace rework5) Don’t make GA championship character lock-in last from the first opponent all the way through the end of the whole series. It would be awkward and frustrating to still be using mods/gear levels from 3 weeks prior.6) Geonosian/droid hybrids from comic7) Darth Sidious gets a Separatist tag. He did lead Dooku and all the Separatist leaders throughout the whole war.8) Make Omegas more accessible (regularly for crystals in weekly shipments is a good start).9) Rework Clone Wars Chewbacca in honor of the great Peter Mayhew 10) The ability to lock out individual platoons in TB! This way you don’t waste characters when you can’t fill them all.Please share your hopes for the upcoming content!

I'd just like to point out that in that same post they talked about meta-diversity. Then spent the last couple weeks actively manipulating any team that theory crafting players came up with to challenge Malak. So yeah, place trust in CG with extreme caution. And be prepared to amend that decision in the future.

1) Definitely2) Definitely3) Definitely4) Sure5) Disagree. It has to be this way IMO. 6) No idea what these are, but ok. If for nothing else, but to be able to roster a full Geonosian team. The Tuskans feel more complete as a faction than the Geos and they have less characters.7) No way man. Sidious wasn't a separatist any more than he was GR. They were all puppets to him.8) Yes. 1000x YES!9) Disagree. They did honor Peter Mayhew in a totally appropriate way IMO. Plus, the Clone Wars version was never portrayed by Mayhew in the first place. If they were going to do a rework for that reason, that's the wrong character to get it.10) I don't really see the point IMO. I mean, you're still getting points for deploying them in the platoon, so it's never really a waste. I'll add my own hope for the future:11) Give the droid faction one viable faction-specific leader. They only ever had one and it got killed when Darth Revan came along. I don't care if it comes in the form of a new toon, or if it's a rework to an existing droid (L3 really should have a lead), but as a faction, they really don't have a single viable leader anymore, and they have to rely on generic leadership abilities (IG88 for example).

Darth Sidious is not a seperatist so he is not their leader. He just uses them for his own purposes like Count Dooku tried to use Darth Sidious.

Rather than the OED I was going for a MUCH older definition, albeit translated somewhat more recently into English. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” ~ Hebrews 11:1

I have also thought for a while how a vulture droid would be awesome if you didn’t have to upgrade the character, just the ship for fleets

Enjoy the 30 gold omegas to upgrade lv1 ability..... “hey no gear but 680 omega to max ship”. They would get you one way or other

New raid. As Anhalt and mobile gamer pointed out in there last video, the last time this game piked in revenue and interest ij the player base was when the sith raid was launched.

More communication would always be nice but at least their last communiques are addressing the major concerns and things that are coming up.

lol, not sure what to think though about my title for this discussion being edited to remove “and CG” when I am advocating to have faith in them.
