He also mentioned that he might need to purchase the Superior Relic bundle to meet the requirements for the next Baylan event, suggesting the requirements might be demanding for some players.

A player inquired if Capital Games would refund resources for Sith Assassin following the Dagger update, drawing a parallel to the Malak release which diminished Sith Assassin's utility after players were encouraged to upgrade her for Darth Revan teams.
