First off, a link to the actual Q&A, so you can browse yourself.
Now, onwards.
The REAL short version
MALAK SOON, COMRADES
Championship Store is gear only for the foreseeable future
Another Malak esqe event in the works
No 3PO or Chewie Mythic any time soon
No Sandbox. Or Guild Sandbox. GW being maaaaybe looked at though
Malak/Events in general
Malak/future Showdowns is his own event, don't expect a solid cadence for them until one is stated
Supposed to be more regular events, but something something accidentally a whole gigabyte of ram
GAC
Can be summed up with "It's the first one, we're looking into it"
G12/G13 being looked at regarding GP weight
Nothing much to be done about troll defence setting
No immediate plans to add anything to GAC store, toons, gear or otherwise
No plans for ELO based MM
GAC intended to test depth and breadth of a players collection
Potentially more divisions later on
Communication
Here's what the quarterly cadence will generally look like moving forward:
Month 1: Road Ahead
Month 2: State of the Galaxy
Month 3: State of the Galaxy
Road Ahead will be a general outline, State will be talking about issues and upcoming stuff in particular
Q&A after each of these
Pls no bully the devs, they're only human
Iconic Items
Both higher and lower tier gear to be used ...concern
Something different than just a gear exchange
utinni
Items intended to reinforce existing Attack/Tank/Support archetypes and act as additional rebalancing along with g13
Everyone's getting one
Most items will be weapons with few exceptions (No lizard boi for Thrawn)
Quality of Life stuff
- Just read the thing for that, there's a lot of questions there.
General questions
Multi year plan includes new content and game modes, but will take time
No drop rate shenanigans for shards and gear
Cantina shard drop is 33%?
Ep9 stuff heavily hinted to follow Clone Wars stuff
CRATE PORTRAIT BOOOIIIIS
