I just did my first Omega ability upgrade!

Great!  On who?

I did my first a week or so ago on Rey.

[Soul]

Ummm, hopefully he's either fast or we get some cool down reducing upgrades.

He does indeed have a cool down reducing ability.  He's in the game already, check him out.  His leadership ability is really interesting.

I did Lando and Vader's basics. Yay for increased ability block chance. Once I have the training droids to bump Palpatine up one level (yeah it's that bad) I'll do his basic.(shock duration +1)

I meant hopefully that ability has some cool down reductions when upgrading it. I'll check him out as soon as I'm at my iPad again.

Captain Phasma Rework
She’s a tad late (detour to the trash chute perhaps?), but Captain Phasma is finally here to round off the updates to the First Order faction. Phasma's VICTORY MARCH ability will now be prioritized over other abilities while under AI control. We have also expanded her Zeta ability, FIRE AT WILL, which now grants First Order allies Advantage for 2 turns at the start of each encounter and prevents them from being Critically Hit while they have Advantage, in addition to previous bonuses.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge."

Sounds awesome Krace!

[Soul]

So disappointed that Sidious' Demoralizing Blows only had the expose buff added to the Omega'd ability.  I was really looking forward to having that for my toon straight away.  Le sigh

Lol, you gotta save something good for the Omega.  Some of them are lame and are just like +10 or 15% damage and rather lacking.  Omegas are a pain to save up and should really be worth it.

[Darth Calon]

Hey, another 15% damage could be the difference between winning and losing sometime. But I agree it's rather lacking for Onega.

While very true, I still wanted free candy.... so to speak

So, Sith finally get a tank.  I'm intrigued to see some reviews on it.  I totally do not need more toons to level and gear up, as I've more than enough to work on already 
Regardless, I'm still intrigued about the synergy of a Sith tank.

[Darth Calon]

Don't worry Soul, Krace has been playing since the game came out and he's not nearly done working on his toons. 

I'm really excited for these new characters too. Unless they decide to roll a couple out in Squad tournaments.

Actually, there's an in-game mail advising that tournaments have been temporarily scrapped due to poor customer feedback, pending re-working.

Woohoo!

Yeah, I just opened the game and saw that. Now I'm off to inspect the new toon and ship.

EDIT: Nihilus looks really interesting, especially his lead. I want to try it. His basic is awesome too.

Lmao!  Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, thankfully they are going away.  No more tournaments where those that P2P are the only ones that are gonna get the good stuff.  I like these event rollouts like they did for Krennic and the DT, and now for the new Sith.  Everybody that has put sufficient time and effort into the game, and not necessarily money, will get a chance to unlock these characters.  They said that for now people can spend their ally points if they want, or save them for what may come in the future.  Right now I have just shy of 700k ally points, so I'm wondering what I'll do.

[Krace]

Well, today you get your training droids, along with a new event to play with.



Edit:  Oh man, that first event level is always good for an evil laugh.  AOE *Everybody dies* AOE *Everbody dies* AOE *Everybody but the leader dies*  Oh look, a sliver of heath left.  *sneezes*

Edit 2:  Sith Trooper is sooooo meant for EP lead if you have a party of Sith.  He heals himself and does other wicked things.  I was worried about him when I was doing Tier 4 of the event cuz he started taking a lot of damage, but he bounced right back.  I believe he's going to give RG a run for his money.  Not saying stop farming RG, but don't be surprised if Sith Trooper start to look better.

unlocked the sith tank, odd enough not one character shard yesterday (last night after update)
