Veers update incoming... What else?

i'm very curious why they decided that Veers was a priority. Considering the amount of pretty diverse Empire leaders there already are, Emperor, Vader, Krennic, and soon Gar. That seems more than enough already. Seems at least equal or higher than the amount of viable leaders of other factions...

so i'm really hoping maybe it's more what Veers represents, which are the older empire toons. Would love to see some mechanic added that'll get us all to chase stormtrooper. that'd be interesting.

Veers'. Abilities. Are. Broken. rework asap plz.

Wait, there was an actual hint about Veers? I didn't see that. I thought people were just assuming Veers was the most deserving of a rework among the Empire characters that need a rework, so they figured he'd be part of it. Nothing in the DEV post actually hinted specifically at him, did it?

If they give Snowtrooper and Veers synergy my vote goes to calling them Sneers.

Any ideas what the droid might be? A lot of people were suggesting R2D2 but that doesn't make a lot of sense when the Empire is on remix? Perhaps it's a Viper Probe Droid (aka Imperial Probe Droid)? That would be kinda cool.

I think they're looking forward to the next big game mode already: Land vehicles. There have been a lot of little things pointing at them making it so we can have our own AT-ATs. (Early question was: why do we have Admirals and Moffs? Now I wonder: Why do we have Generals?) A big step in that direction is going to be reworking the generals to make sure people have them in their rosters.

There are a huge amount of rebels ... which kind of makes sense given that most things Star Wars revolve around rebels v empire. So ... kinda makes sense that there should also be a huge amount of empire toons.

sure but for rebels i could only maybe 3 viable leaders. AA, Lando (back in the days) and Jyn. even that is being pretty generous.

you can only use one leader per team, so i'm surprised they'd want to work on another empire character who most likely will remain a leader.

Hopefully it's not just slapping a zeta on Veers. A lot of Empire characters need a rework like the sith faction pass from earlier this year (or was it December?)

What about Wedge or Hera for Phoenix?

actually you're right, i'd say viable Rebel leads right now are Hera for phoenix, Wedge and Jyn. both AA and Lando leads i have not seen in a long time in my shard.

i'm not saying Empire has too many leaders. I'm just saying Empire has enough, about 3 or 4 viable leads. so do Rebels, and Jedi to some extent (i'd count zQGJ, FK and Aayla for HAAT).

usually with a rework, we'd hope Veers will also become a viable lead in some aspect of the game. Personally i'm all for more empire toons, but I'd have preferred reworking some other faction entirely like maybe separatists or republic. 'cause there's no shortage of toons with the Empire tag on teams right now. They're not at hte very top but plenty of empire variety still.
