After a two month hiatus, I notice very few significant changes - Palpatine was released (and you need rebels to get him?), I'm (temporarily) guildless, and after playing for a few days, I am far less cynical then I was, and am actually enjoying the game. Without reading the Dev notes, is there any changes I really should know about? Edit: I'm not actively looking for a guild - I'm waiting for an opening in my old guild.

A scoundrel team. If you don't have one...Get one!

AOE teams are the new it squad. Wiggs (wedge, biggs) and hanido (han / anakin / lando) are taking over the world. CG/EA tweaked armor, so a lot of toons got a stealth nerf. credit heist is redesigned and it is awesome, up to 10m per completing it (possibly, it's like a lottery now). more gear is in available in shipments. raid gear can be bought in the shard shop.

curious, how far in arena did you drop?

To spite the new meta, there is a bit more creativity in Arena (depending which ranks you're playing around in). We're finding that there are more variations working, and no one team that's unbeatable. Speed in the mods is probably the biggest help to your ability to climb the ranks.

I fell to 408th. Back up to 141st after 7 matches.

I've been seeing less of the Dodge meta on my way back up, which is nice. I just finished tenacity mods, so I still have a ways to go on the battles and challenges. I'm looking forward to experimenting with the mods - much moreso now than when they were released.

And thank you, it's good to be back!

Yeah, dodge CAN work, but there are definitely more options available now (provided you have the roster) to get around it. Rebels are not a bad thing to focus on. Rebels and Scoundrels. Glad you put your reserved into Lando, you won't regret it. :)

He bro nice to see your coming back to the game. You and I did the same I started playing again a few weeks ago and I must say I am in the same boat as you. I find the game more enjoyable and Im loving the diversity in arena. Just take out the dust of your toons and get back in gear.

PS the mod disadvantage we have is no big deal unless you can't live without arena #1

It took a little more than half a day to remember where I left off and how to play. I'm going to stay FTP - I was getting too stressed out and cynical as P2P. I'll play with mods just because they're there but I'm not as concerned about PvP ranking and GW. Matter of fact, I hadn't played GW for a few weeks before I stopped playing, and just now, i finished three nodes for the first time in a long time lol.
