Character Strategy: Commander Luke Skywalker

Im not happy with having to 7☆ a character that I literally only have 9 total shards for(& happens to be only 1 of 8 toons I havent unlocked) but hey, its something new. My only real complaint is how EA/CAPITAL has chosen the easy route once again; dropping a newer, more OP toon instead of balancing the game more. Strong characters are great, but CLS is kinda ridiculous. They keep pushing everything more & more out of reach. Newer ship all require multiple characters now. HAAT Raid was light years more difficult than anything before it. Since last summer the OP Duo-style characters are the standard, needing not one but 2parts to make a whole...twice the gear & effort. Thankfully the entire team sales experiment with Phoenix didnt really work, but theyre still holding to this HEROIC character treasure hunt to unlock these new Meta toons like Thrawn & now CLS so maybe it did workout. Throw in thebfact that the new characters have not one, but 2 & now 3 Zetas & its a recipe for time control. Were nothing but little drug addicts with our arms out begging for a hit. I dont think smack addicts go to the trouble we do each day to get their fix!
