Special synergy with a character completely unrelated to him lol. Why can't we just be representative of the star wars universe? Why is it always money over everything?
That has never been the primary goal of the game, the original dev statements were quite the opposite, about placing toons side by side that were enemies or never even alive together.
This is a game about a game, inside a cantina, that is in the SW Universe.
Correct, hence Teebo and Qui Gon teaming up to defeat Rancor.
But was that interaction/"team up" really intended by the devs? Or was that the result of the player base's theorycrafting?
For the most part, the game has erred on the side of making interactions make sense, even if that was never a stated objective. That's why, I thought at least, faction synergy was introduced. All of a sudden we had kits working together in a way that was indicative of the SW universe, looking at you JTR resistance, CLS rebels, and palp empire. The game went from individual units with kits where you decide who to put together, to built out faction synergy made of characters that at least existed and interacted together elsewhere in the SW universe, now to random, unrelated characters specifically designed to work together. It's one thing if the kits were developed and designed separately and the player base went woah these complement each other. It's another thing to specifically design them to work together.
Historically, you guys have done a good job trying to make things make sense, until someone comes up with an idea that will encourage people to spend even more. And that's where my complaint lies. There was no reason to design maul to specifically buff new vader, who's reqs are already stupid steep, then essentially lock maul behind this new grindy, paywall version of conquest other than the fact that these decisions all piled up would generate more revenue from the big spenders. I'm nowhere near vader, so this isn't about me not getting the new shiniest thing. I couldn't care less. But some of my guild mates were really looking forward to getting vader until this maul interaction and conquest changes came through. You keep pushing people away to just milk that money and people are getting really tired of it, but I'm sure you guys have metrics on that.
