On February 8th, CG_Carrie posted that "Going forward, you’ll also see them in more traditional farmable locations." It's been 37 days since this post, and not another word since. So my question is WHEN?!?!?!

People didn't like that, so they put out packs, then put them into packs, then put them into shipments. But their ftp farm location is still the event. (Or crystals, depending on how you feel about those as a free player. I prefer to use mine for gear and refreshes, but I know other folks who use them for characters.)

Going forward, you’ll also see them in more traditional farmable locations. "So she is stating that they where moved to shipments and going forward they will be more "Traditional Farmable" So when will they be traditionally farmable.

The first day I got into arena I saw the space witches and was instantly turned down. It's a pure p2p team and thry will keep it that way for some time. They are still fresh, they are still good. Most important to me, they are beatable. By a variety of teams in fact.In short, the traditional farming location is the shard shop. Expect them on nodes when we get a level increase. Same for wicket.

Well to the devs "soon" could mean months and months, "very soon" means next day(sith raid release) I'm hoping there's something interesting coming soon at least lol

@CG_RyDiggs, is there any way you could give clarity on this? Are the Nightsisters going to be in F2P farming locations?

They will not come to f2p farming for another year or 2..till we can complete the sith raid without them. Otherwise the raid becomes a bit easier for everyone. Remember..they nerfed it and destroyed st han TM (now i wonder why they give out ST han as login toon for the month). MT with other NS amd Wicket with other Ewoks perform well in parts of raid. So they wont come in nodes. Only shipments

Don’t think this is correct. They pumped out JTR extremely quick and shes hands down the best toon for STR. And the Devs have been quotas saying they are surprised that nobody has been farming wicket. So I can see them coming out way sooner than a year. I’m calling summer for wicket and Halloween for MT,spirit and zombie.

Good to see the new and improved "transparency" from CG is going well

Customer support here rivals Comcast.

Comcast has gotten MUCH better in the last few years. In my experience anyway. Not a comparison to CG at all, just saying that what once was a laughing stock has significantly improved.

They may not have appeared on a simmable node but the Nightsisters and Wicket events have become more regular. 2 each this month, might be the best we get for now.

this is from the questions & answers. a guy with the name nick reinhardt (i don´t know him by the way, and i don´t know in which company he is working, but he should be a live producer what ever that means...) was telling us that:

Regarding Talzin and company, we tried something new with the Heroic Event series and it didn't work the way we intended. We'll have a disposition on them soon.

a little bit later in q & a a lady named Carrie Gouskos (same thing here, don´t know her, she should be a senior producer what ever that means) answered to the question about talzin, wicket... that:

Above Nick answered a question about the character cadence and that we plan to release more info about that in the coming weeks. We will make sure this specifically is answered then.

so the "soon" means this time "coming weeks" so we can say:

I don't have an answer either way today. I'll see if I can get one Monday, but 'we're not saying' might be that answer, just to be clear.

TTYL!

Thank you. This has been a question of my own as well.

The answer... as with 90% of every other question asked on this forum.. is "soon"

Character Release cadence?...it was established at one point and then broken multiple times and now it's just non-existant, especially with a previous road ahead post standing farming for Talzin, Wicket, Nightsister Spirit etc....and still nothing

: Similar to the above, we actually have forthcoming communication coming about the Character Release Cadence. We're not ready to unveil it yet, but I can tell you that we are looking to reaffirm it very soon and better articulate the timings, placements, and why we changed some in the past. This is an important topic to us and we're going to bringing this to the players soon. Regarding Talzin and company, we tried something new with the Heroic Event series and it didn't work the way we intended. We'll have a disposition on them soon.

After they announced that all NS and wicket are gonna be farmable (not just in shipments), a bunch of whales lost it on this forum and reddit, complaining about how their investment didn’t last long enough, etc. CG reads this and wanting to appease the whales, decides to hold off on that plan.

Okay, except they never said they'd be farmable in a node or for arena/gw/cantina/guild currency.

The information we have, unless you're a conspiracy theorist and Lord knows this board is full of them, is that they're in events forever and for always, and adding them to shipments for crystals and chromium packs was the "more traditional" placement.
