You’re happy about this update?

Wow. For anyone that thinks this update is beneficial to new players, take a look at what it actually promotes. The number one rule of creating a strong account is finish your farms. There are soo many accounts out there with LCRex with omicron at G9 that have never finished their phoenix team precisely because it is available early and then gets forgotten with other farms. This is what the update is promoting. Building wide instead of tall. What benefit does a R3 4* character bring to any level of any game mode? Nothing except a waste of gear and a desire to purchase 30 shards for 40$ or whatever it is now. This is the biggest scam thrown at new players that I have ever seen and people are talking like it was done to help new players progress and retain them. If you have never played this game before, I guarantee you will increasingly be distracted by all the shiny things until you realize you have 3M GP, not one completed team, and are deciding whether to spend too much money or quit. Anyone that thinks otherwise is not looking at this with the eyes of a new player, they are looking at it through the eyes of someone looking to start their second ftp.

i’ll give you this idea for free EA. You want new players to stick around and enjoy the game and maybe instill new enthusiasm from old players? Create a currency that allows you to change the tag or add a tag to characters so that we can use the ones we like together rather than being forced to farm the newest preset squad.

    Don't think I've ever paid $50 for a LSB myself.
    Not worth it even for new toons, though that one w/ a full Negotiator looked to be decent if I hadn't completed that farm years ago.

    As a 6 year player I've spent on a couple LSB (Rey & Phoenix IIRC) since many of those were not relic'd back then.
    But for the most part I skip them all.

    I'm loving the ability to relic under-starred toons. 

    If nothing else it's going to make Conquest feats SO MUCH EASIER.

    No longer shall we be chained to putting new LS marquees with JML for "kill an enemy with this new marquee you only have at 4*".

    To your comment about boycotting LSBs...ironically, these are some of the better deals the game has had in its history. The reason I've been mostly f2p is for the sole reason the prices have always seemed ridiculous to my personal preferences on what I'd want to spend on something like this. No, the new LSBs are not as good a deal as the very first ones for Rey and such, but even I thought those were an insanely good deal. On the whole, whales are reporting spending less on new shinies than they used to.

    $50 for four characters may not seem worth it to you, but to get them from potentially nothing to relics is a better deal than anything else in the game. $50 is something like 7,000 crystals, which will not even get a single character into relics, let alone farm their stars instantly. 

    You wouldn't buy it, I wouldn't buy most of them either, but for the people willing to spend, they can do it if they want. You might as well ask to boycott the whole game. You may need to take a moment to evaluate what you're playing if you have a problem with other people's spending habits. 

  • I hate this update, CG removed all the helpful packs, like Geo's with 80 shards for each character, bout versions of Bastila packs gone (65 and 95 shards) ect, it's just awful. I am not paying 56.99€ (EURO) for 4 characters LSB and 3 always being cantina node, that's ridiculously bad value. The Inquisitors need Reva and she is in ROTE which is end game TB. It's even worst then it was, with those packs missing.
