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.

Talzin, Wicket, and the New NSs, WHEN?!?!?

I know this isnt the answer most of us want to hear, but they are available to farm in shipments. If there is a toon im dying to have (kylo unmasked for example). I buy the 4 or 8 shard shipments for 320/640 (yeah that gamble bit me in the butt when he got released into the cheap cantina node). I dont think we're going back to the old cadence. No new toons have been released into arena/gw/cantina for some time...so you might as well stop stockpiling currency and use it for shard shop...I honestly dont think they know how to release toons to farm anymore hence why everything is cantina node, guild store, events store (even those characters have gotten stale) or straight up shipments.

They never say anything until they actually say it. That doesn’t address my point.

Oh wait, they said NS and wicket would be farmable beyond shipments. That they actually said and it hasn’t happened.

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.

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

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!

@CG_RyDiggs I personally rather hear that you cant give an answer on this subject than to be in silence for weeks and days. For that, Thank you.

I've seen people in this same thread with sarcastic comments saying how well the "new way of communication is going well". For me, this answer you gave actually proves you guys are indeed communicating with us even though you cannot give the answer we are hoping for.

Again, thank you and I hope this will continue.

@CG_RyDiggs it is late Tuesday now. I don't think it is asking for too much for you to have made some type of response by now. This is a perfect example of devs not treating customers with the needed respect.

There was a whole live q&a by CG regarding this.

Looking forward to your response.

Are you a customer or just F2P? Just curious. My Talzin is almost 7 stars.

I’d love to know. I’d happily get Zombie from shipments if she isn’t available anytime soon. But every time I “buy” a character in this game they end up being available via easier methods much sooner than expected. First it was B2, who was the quickest aurodium to go F2P, skipping over numerous characters like Rex in becoming available, which stopped me from buying characters. Then the Talzin debacle, where I thought I would be getting a much more exclusive timeframe only to have it changed. So yeah, I have no confidence to buy premium characters anymore.

You do realize talzin is NOT a F2P character by any standard. Only way to get her without spending money is event that is around 2 times a month for 10 shards or you could spend crystals, which is very slow if you are F2P. So I would like you to tell me what talzin debacle are you talking about

Talzin is in shipments now. I don't know how expensive it is to 7 star through crystals and shipments but it's a lot cheaper than $500 in packs.

Last time I remember there was a release cadence already set up for every character. What happened to it?!

Yeah, something like 4-6 weeks before they go in the shop, then 4-6 before they become farmable.
