Yeah.... so.... it's very unclear why arguably the most bad-**** character in the movie (Boba Fett) sucks to the point of being useless & irrelevant in the game. This is made even more illogical when we have totally irrelevant characters like IG-88 or Jawa Engineer (was he even an actual character?) who are very powerful.
I think the overarching problem is the "revive" ability in game...I can sorta see an argument for droids glitching back to life if you want another game mechanic....but if Qui-Gon Jinn and Palaptine aren't coming back physically from death, if you care about what a character is supposed to be, boba fett surely isn't coming back."davevaded;676893" wrote:

... and yet, one of the most popular story arcs in the whole of the EU centres on Fett making it out of the Sarlac and continuing upon his reign of cool. He was the one character that Lucas tried to bury and the fans insisted he lived on. GoH hasn't shied away from using EU (Legends) lore so I can see the appeal to making him hard to kill.
He's had his own Marvel comic, a series of books and his own video game. It's not like he's been abandoned to the Legends universe either: He was written in to effectively be the father of all Stormtroopers (in a sense). If that's not enough, the popular theory on the third anthology film is that it will be the story of Fett's transition to manhood (the first being Rogue One, the second being a Han Solo origin story).
Make no mistake, he's a big deal. After he's proven to be the most effective villain in Battlefront, I find it hard to believe he'll be abandoned by EA.
My guess? He'll come into his own when they release the Starfighter Battles update and the best ship turns out to be Slave I...- I think he'd be decent with the following changes:
1) Up his speed by 20 to 40
2) Have basic gain TM on hit (as opposed to on kill)
3) Have basic apply a debuff like offense down or crit down
4) Reduce cooldown of death from above from 4 to 2. - And maybe he should call all allies in for assist doing 60 - 100% more damage. Then get in Slave one and fire an HLC at everyone eject and stick thermal detonators on everyones forehead zoom off with his jetpack and detonate them.
- Ive been farming what I call "hope shards"; buying shards on faith. I think theyre going to release Jango Fett in conjunction with a Boba Fett rework and theyll have synergy together. And think theyll end up pairing well with the Clones.
Awesome pictures shared in here. In that first one it looks like his right forearm is artificial, didnt realize that. - Since nobody's on board except @Chewplebcca I'll queue up the broken record... Quit waiting for a handout. Boba is viable if you construct the appropriate team. Top 10-20 in a Lando-centric arena squad since April. I really hope they don't rework him. I know I sound like the DBag who thinks he's cool before cool was cool. But max his gear, Pot / speed mod the $hit out of him, and build a squad that works. Or you can sit with a half a$$ed Fett, pining for a buff and waiting for the Devs to play the game for you.

Hard to kill and coming back from death are leagues apart. I can see your love for the character, but Boba coming back from death, when the jedis who mastered life/death more than most, like QGJ, Ani, Yoda and ObiWon aren't, makes Boba -actually dying- and coming back, silly at best."The_Fettmans_Ghost;677441" wrote:

I'm cool with Boba
Working towards the same team except greedo for lando. So many furnaces... all I want is boba to use his blaster
Sounds cool. Might also be worth noting that I don't even have my Han max starred and geared yet, like most of the other people who use him on my server. I was a late comer with him. Actually my Lando isn't max geared yet either. So there's still room for improvement!
