Royal Guard viable in pvp now?

Just give everyone double the HP instead of all these stupid character buffs....and now...not at Lv 90

Its starting to seem like they are intentionally making certain toons OP and then will tone em down so people will continually waste resources and more importantly...keep spending.

RG didn't make it to the game and yet I can see some recurrent anti-Poe names already suggesting he is too OP and ready to start the nerf-RG-posts from the moment he hits the game. It's unbelievable.

I'll make all this flagrant jealousy towards toons you can't have pretty simple for you:

Strawman fallacy. You're claiming that people are asking for nerfs because they are jealous that they can't get it and not because it has potential issues.Instead of passing snide remarks about people, why don't you address the points mentioned by posters regarding RG if you are convinced he doesn't need a nerf?We're all mature adults here,there is no need for any mud-slinging.

If RG is good then farm it, adapt your team or just shut up.

This very same argument can be applied to an OP character that has 1 mil hp and 1 mil damage.
Should we just say since it is good, we should farm it and adapt our team to it? There is an underlying assumption that the character is not overdone, and that there are consistent counters to it. But there aren't any since RG has high hp and can taunt multiple times out of turn. RG has turn meter gain,50% stun, decent potency and tenacity as well.

How about launching a character(RG) that may or may not be slightly overpower, just launch it anyways for people to scramble and get him...then launch new content later to keep people engage.

While Poe was a bad example, yoda is quite balanced and fun.

Does it also mean that I have fight 5 super guards and palpatine at the light battles. Don't think they share the same attribute. : )

Royal Guard taunts for 1 turn...imagine now, he taunts and the next character to go just happens to be him. Or 1 of your other toons, then him. His taunt expires at the end of his turn. W/out a 2-turn taunt, it could be worthless more often than helpful.

But if you attack hard and early like QGJ, his taunt will last a few turns.

It's possible this has some limit to how often it can activate or some other restriction that didn't make it to the release notes. I guess we'll see. Not going to overreact before we even see what he can do, though we have been here before. Remember before the level 70 cap increase? "Surely they can see that giving Poe 143 speed will make him broken and fix that when the cap goes up."
There's something very odd going on when players find serious issues that QA doesn't.. sometimes even before the patch goes live.

Yep, his limit how ever many character are still alive.

Dont get it what ppl are complaining about. Actually, everybody of top 20 beats everybody, which is kinda boring, too. There is no team on my server posing a difficult, even the whales suffer and drop out of top 10 daily
At least, we could have a tank again. Already got rid of Poe, who was no support anymore.

The return of HK droids and poggle (plus the man of the hour, Royal-Not-A-Droid-But-Whatsup-Guys-Beep-Beep.

If ig-88 can survive just one attack, he taunts, you are good to go.

Even if Quiggles steals the taunt, RG did his job by stealing 2 characters worth of mega speed attacks. Then it's on to good ole' poggle land and guns blazing.

So far so good (7 star droid team with 5 star gear 7 RG)
