I think the worst part, which we all may have previously taken for granted, is the earlier level rolls being locked by the later rolls, rather than vice-versa (which is what we've seen in the past. I.E.: If you wanted to target a SLKR level 9, "all you had to do" was: 1) Lock in a dark side level 3, which was basically a 50/50 chance 2) Lock in a First Order level 6, which was another 50% chance 3) Perform a reroll or two on the level 9 as they were effectively a 25% chance (4 potential FO toons) to get the cron you were looking for - Bonus points for #3 above, as there was both a SLKR cron and a FOSTP cron (which basically both were SLKR crons), making it like a 50% chance to get the datacron you wanted. Compare that to what we have now... 1) the level 3 is somewhat irrelevant, as it doesn't lock in the level 6 2) the level 6 has so many potential options (4 'factions' with 5 potential rolls for each faction) that getting the one you want before locking in the level 9 is basically impossible. The reality is that while there is a ~25% chance just to get the faction you want, there are 25 possible rolls among all factions, and since each faction reall yonly has a single "god tier" roll, your chance of getting the roll you're targeting is 1/25, AKA 4%. 3) Most of the level 9 character modifiers aren't even that great, but you want to go establish a level 9 so that it "locks in" the faction for level 6, and NOW you're ready to start rerolling the level 6. 4) Now that your level 6 is locked into its faction, there is a ~20% chance to get the faction modifier that you want - Except, oh wait, we KNOW these modifiers are weighted and that the best modifiers don't have an equal chance to roll as the other modifiers, so it's actually less than 20%. We just don't know how much. All that to say.... After taking a cron ALL the way to level 9, you still have less than a 20% chance to go back and reroll the L6 to get the one you ACTUALLY wanted. And guess what? If you don't end up getting the L6 you wanted, you have essentially wasted boatloads of mats taking the cron to level 9 NOT for the level 9 bonus, but for the sole purpose of rerolling a busted l6 that you didn't even get...... Better hope you rolled like 250% defense on the way to L9. Lol. Edit: I hate that I wrote this out literally seconds before you explained it in the video. Lmao.
I haven't struggled TOO much to get the lvl 6s I want, although it is expensive, but what's been awful is when there's a lvl 9 you actually want. You gotta roll the first lvl 9 only when you have lvl 6 rolled as the faction of the lvl 9 toon you want. (So if I want Vandor Chewie's lvl 9, I gotta make sure the lvl 6 is a Tank faction before I do lvl 9). Then, you gotta re-roll lvl 9 like CRAZY. And even if you hit the toon you want, a bunch have multiple options, most of which are awful other than the one you want. I've got 6 Tank crons, and can't hit either of Vander's lvl 9s for the life of me, and I spent $25 on the datacon pack with tons of re-roll mats. I really want the health per relic lvl and damage reduction lvl 9, but at this rate Id be happy even if I hit his lesser one. Even worse case, is if you want BOTH a specific lvl 9 AND a lvl 6. Good luck, lol.
I can't disagree with this at all. Trying to get the right lvl6 and lvl9 roll you want with this set is more a nightmare then every other set before this one. I hope you get the Vandor roll you want without breaking the bank!

@stwida91 at least you put it in words others might understand better 🤣 but yeah, this new set has me worried for everything afterwards
Yup,future looking dark

Complaining about datacons, lol,I do that every day lol
Its second nature to me at this point. Along with hating Rey teams
