The Dark Side is so Overpowered it’s not even Fun Anymore
I’m not gonna go into some essay-Long post on this like I’ve done before. I don’t need to justify my title. I’ve made my feelings clear for the last year. If you actually play the game, then you understand.
When you really think about what most of the Dark Side abilities can do, and then compare that to what Jedi can do, it’s a joke.
The fact that nothing has been done and the DS continues to get stronger with every update is disgraceful and an embarrassment.

Don't worry he'll bring balance to the game
SMH.
May I suggest you don't nerf DS but buff LS.
Time to add a forth ability to Rey called Rain Down Rocks and orbital strike the DS, increase Finn aimbot range and damage by a bit (to counter the horrible lock - it locks to things you are not looking at, usually behind walls lol!), widen Chewy slam, widen Yoda unleash/instant max charge up, match Luke speed with Maul, make Leia shield block everything including enemy from entering, faster Lando sharp shot lock, instant Obiwan push at max distance or at least make it max as soon as he takes damage.
More likely he’ll be just as useless as Obi Wan.
Concepts for potential maps:

I agree with you. Now, just imagine how this will be amplified in Hero Blast once any tactical objectives are removed.
Woah there obi wan is far from useless & I bet anakin will be the strongest hero for the lightside; high damage, damage buff, dash ability, fast swing speed(judging from animations)

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
I’d be surprised if Anakin even ends up in the game. I don’t trust this dev team to deliver on anything.
This is a triple A shooter without stats, map selection or loadouts, among other things. It’s truly the worst big-budget title I’ve ever played.
A handful of characters are the only saving grace for me and only reason I don’t uninstall.
The same exact thing was said about Obi Wan. It hasn’t gotten better. It’s arguably gotten worse. When are we going to stop saying ridiculous things like, “wait for x hero to come and hope that he/she is good” until we admit the game is unbalanced and most heroes need a serious and complete overhaul?

All I'll say LS is not weak but way more teamwork is needed in HvV compared to the DS - which I think how it's supposed to be...where for the good guys it's always an uphill battle.
This is a multiplayer shooter. One side shouldn’t have to work as a team while the other doesn’t.
Was more of a joke mixed in with my love for anakin.
Exactly. Especially when the DS decides to work as a team the LS usually gets stomped.

Can't roll spam vader when he can choke & saber throw all 3 of you leaving you near deaths door. & if you wanna talk teamwork vader & iden can wipe out the whole lightside team by themselves
I’m not dissing you but that is the type of stuff we read all the time on the forum. It’s just excuses for what has transpired in this game essentially since day 1.
Yeah. For some strange reason I thought Kenobi was going to be the turning point in the whole hero imbalance issue. Silly me.
Not a competent one. Same could be said for LS however. Skill>perceived OP mechanics
I've was thinking haven't actually been able to test it against a group but, on paper I like the team besting the darkside. Rey & obi wan for their mind trick & high damage output, lando for his shock, Finn for his damage reduction & he can give lando at least 3 disablers in 1 big deal usage. Also forgot rey's insight. Would really need to work as a team though
It could work potentially, but a better one would probably be Han, Finn, Rey/Obi and Lando. Stuns plus two other blaster users able to focus fire? Beautiful. All you have to do is stay at a reasonable distance from each other so Vader can't group hug you guys.

I was thinking han over Finn to pair him with lando. Also his crazy damage output. Rey & obi I think have to stay can't tell you how funny it is when someone like iden or kylo get mindtrick twice it's basically a death sentence
My recommendation would be Han, Leia, Finn and Chewy. That’s in a group session if it was my usual members. DS is Boba, Kylo, Iden and Palps. These suit our teams play style therefore I recommend it but it’s down to how you want to play as a group and what your other players strengths are. Would not recommend any melee based characters other than Kylo simply because he serves a functional purpose, the others don’t imo
I do think in a all blaster 4v4 the lightside wins hands down, with the people you just mentioned. A all blaster line up gets wrecked by vader alone. I like your darkside team though really deadly. I tried kylo, boba, iden, phasma & man is it deadly I didn't even think of using palps
I base my recommendations on when I group play this so all on comms etc. any saber hero is not getting within any range to be threat so essentially disregard them. Blaster only battles depends on how good Boba is, and conversely how good Han is. That will usually tell who wins.
It’s great seeing good team makeups, you can realistically make any work. On PC saber is simply a no go really against any competent team, they will just get ruined
He causes too much damage with his basic attack.
Before Grievous, we had Chewbacca as the Light Side tank to oppose Vader (the Dark Side tank). Then Chewbacca was nerfed and Grievous arrived.
Obi-wan is not powerful enough bring balance to HvV.
Hahaha
Eh, why not?
Yes you do.
I do play the game, but no, I don't understand.
TOTALLY agree! Man, the Jedi romp! There are three maps where three characters from the light side can just fling you straight off the map to your death, where the DS only gets one. Vader gets an ability to ignore stamina and a small damage reduction for a short amount of time but then is out of stamina after that, but Rey gets to ignore stamina for a much longer amount of time, can see through walls, is removed from the enemy radar, and then is perfectly fine after it runs out. Yeah Boba has his trick with his rockets and his jetpack, but the LightSide gets 2 guys that can auto-aim and one guy with spread on his primary weapon that make it cake to take that guy down out of the sky, and once Boba hits the ground, he's got very few hit points to live with. Obi-Wan has a power that is just death to anyone who can't block with a lightsaber, Leia has an ability that will melt characters trying to kill her with a lightsaber, and Han.... dude, in the right hands he's just straight brutality on the battlefield.
Nerf Lightside!

But deathsticks make everything better. Deathsticks make me feel so Alive!
/shrug. You got three guys that are built with speed that can tap one button and send any number of villains over the ledge to their deaths regardless of how many hit points they have (Luke, Yoda, Kenobi, though Han and Chewie can do it too), characters who can auto-aim and have myriad abilities, just as many if not more immobilizing effects, and still #1 OP: Han. If he couldn't knock any character down by throwing Detonite behind them and nuking them from behind while they attempt to dodge or block his shots (which besides being ridiculous is completely non-canon in both movie and animated series, okay, he hit one guy with a satchel that he didn't detonate.) then it would be more fair. Also, Chewie should not be able to throw a stun grenade, as he has never been shown to do that either. The best character on the dark side is Kylo who has balanced abilities; everyone else is an average joe trying to make their way to galactic domination. Advantage: People who state their opinions like they were facts.
These are all just opinions. I've gone 10-0 as Light Side. I've been rolled 0-10. Usually the score is somewhere in between. Han and Lando will straight murder you if you let them. Luke is a **** on ledges. Finn can highscore because people seem to ignore him even though he's killing them over and over, doesn't make him OP'd.
To be fair, I totally agree with you on Grievous. He Shouldn't be able to block blaster fire. I agree that Force Trained can do it because they use precognition to know where the bolt is headed and put the saber there first. However, he's shown doing it multiple times in the show so..... /shrug again. I tell myself that the line "I have been trained in your Jedi Arts by Count Dooku" means more than we gave him credit for.
his mind trick was so posed to be godly and a game changer but it turned out to be complete crap because its duration is so god awful it needs a duration buff badly.
I agree with this.
I've always kind of wondered why Palpatine, Dark Lord of the Sith that was able to pull a blanket over everyone's senses including every single Jedi Master, didn't get some kind of concealing or Force Rebuke ability. Or Force Immunity. "For a small amount of time, Emperor Palpatine is immune to Force Powers." Mmmmm....
The duration is good with the stat card .It's 5 seconds exactly like how kylo's freeze was. Asking for it to be buffed & it'll end up just like kylo's freeze op
Who is that?
Darth Sidious son
The DS has better lightsaber characters (despite Maul and Kylo both being terrible in HvV, Vader and Grievous are incredible) and the LS has better blasters.
Right now, the DS wins more often because its villains are better at running away as the target than the LS heroes. That's the sad truth.
No it’s not.
It actually was confirmed in the last vader comic. He used the force to create him. Vader went through a portal that showed the past & his future battle with ahsoka. That why he says it was foretold that you would be here.
Spoken like someone who's never done a private match smh. The darkside wins because they're that much better not because they run. Better cc & damage out put,
