It’s safe to say that it’s definitely one of the - if not the most- controversial one(s).
I believe the hype, may it be positive or negative, started with the icon leak.
I’m not sure if there has ever been this high level of focus and speculation regarding a game pack for such a length of time ( over a month) before release.
Many folks either dreaded the possibility of it being a Star Wars pack, or a visible minority hoped it was true.
The already existing hype was just amplified once the Star Wars bomb dropped. Those who dreaded it got more vocal in their hate for it, those who were enthusiastic made sure to be just as vocal in their enjoyment for it. It went both ways. I believe some folks were excited for it at first, but showed disappointment due to its content, others were on the fence but enjoyed it once they got it.
There will be no less hate for it than before, until something is released that “everybody” asked for. Then perhaps folks are able to calm down and move on again.
Those who do like JtB enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for the pack on this forum with the minority of players who already expressed excitement for it when it was only speculation. Those people seem to be still more present on the forum.
Most of the ‘haters’ are just tired and stopped engaging in discussions.
This however doesn’t mean that the pack is overal the best gamepack ever just as much as it doesn’t mean it’s the worst, only because the vocal majority says so.
It’s certainly one of my favorites. ?
