The care put into the event, planning, all of that was good, but the execution was flawed. GMs still (imho) have little idea just how insanely powerful the new NPCs are, because commando droids, B2s and snipers were spawned in bulk as if it was a horde deployment. 

Everyone died with over double digits, and while more challenge is good, there is a difference between "Dark souls/Elden ring difficult fun" and "Dying over 20 times in 2 minutes difficult not fun". Heavies couldn't push because we were getting domed from across the MHB by B1s, Republic commandos got wiped by commando droids with shotguns that outlast them in armor and health. B2s and grenadiers with explosives make DU shields useless. 

Look, challenge is good, and these new droids offer counterplay to the dominance clones usually enjoy and that is good, but it is also that these new NPCs have 100% accuracy, 2-3x the health of clones, and spawn in way too many droids. At this point if one droid can wipe out a whole squad, what's the point of spawning literal dozens of them only for clones to live, die, repeat?

 

Good work on the tac droid though, it made an endgame that was enjoyable
