It's never a waste, when you'll need them soon enough anyway.

Every 7* is a 7* you'll never have to farm again.

I'm quitting them game if they go to 8 stars.

If I'd known I didn't have to rush I wouldn't have been putting 3x100 crystal refreshes into them for the last couple of weeks. That's a lot of crystals I could have spent on something more useful!

It is confirmed, R2 at the end of the month.

Thrawn could come mid-month or next month, noone knows.

It's a dick move to have 2 R2's before they bring thrawn back, but here we are.

Gotcha.

Good to know which one it is at least, i have plenty of gear ready to kit out either Phoenix Squad or my empire dudes.

Unsure who my 5th should be; i have GMT, TFP, EP, RG, Stormtrooper and Magmatrooper at 7*. Vader is 6* and 27/100, so i doubt i can get him to 7* by the end of the month.

Im thinking GMT (L), TFP, EP, RG and Stormtrooper?

Palp is *probably* a better lead for the event, unless Tarkin is the difference between going first and getting a Palp AoE stunnoff in turn one, but basically, yeah, that.

Reddit claims Thrawn returns for the 7th to 14th of October. I haven't been playing this game long enough to know of these things are legit or not. Why would he return on specifically the 7th? (A date i have seen mentioned in here recently as well)

Any truths to this rumor?

7-14 would put it right alongside the final week countdown before the Rebels S4 premiere.

On the other hand it's a Saturday and they usually do this stuff on weekdays.

I have Ezra at 6 stars now, and Chopper at 65/85 for 6 stars. Going to work on both of them, whomever gets to 7 stars first wins. Luckily, not only do they not conflict, one actually assists the other in farming.

Oh, and I have them all at G8, except Hera who's at G9.

Omegas are a bitch, start hoarding them and never ever give an omega to a toon that doesn't deserve it. I've wasted so many on toons i never use anymore :(

Make a list of your teams, be it raids, events, GW or PVP, and stick to them. Omegas used to drop a lot more from challenges, at least for me. Now, after working on phoenix, i'm sitting on 10 omegas, which is a problem as i'll have 20 zeta mats tomorrow.

Yeah, just make sure to do your challenges on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, where you can sometimes get them, and always do all of your daily activities, and you get one for total activity completion. It's not that bad. It's not like they're Zetas.

Challenges assumes you can do the max level, though.

Apparently Android users in the US can get a ton of crystals and "Scavenger Rey" shards by purchasing a Google Play gift card from Wal-mart and redeeming it. Looks like it scales all the way from 80 shards and 750 crystals up to 330 shards and 3000 crystals plus a bunch of credits for a $50 gift card according to some thread on reddit.

Also you don't need to use the gift card on SWGOH. If you're opposed to spending money on this dumb game (you're not wrong), but use google play for your Spotify subscription or whatever, well, enjoy your thousands of free crystals and thousands more crystals-worth of shard shop currency.

Well Apple are to blame for this one, not CG/EA.

Google are paying them to run this promotion, something Apple isn't willing to (or maybe doesn't need to?) do.


In other news, Phoenix Squad are getting Zetas!

Zeb's and Kanan's look very interesting. Ezra's can probably be skipped, and Hera's doesn't look all that interesting either.
Chopper isn't getting a zeta but gets an assist on his unique omega upgrade (the assist is not shared between the rest of PS, sadly)

Beware the promo is pretty buggy. Redeeming it hard locked my phone and now I didnt get the items in game and cant redeem again. Have to put a support ticket in with EA which always blows to go through. A couple of people in the reddit thread mentioned similar issues.

From the description, it looks like he would gain 100% only when the foresight he grants expires, not any foresight, making the Zeta from pretty good to who cares.

Thats still a 5* Thrawn, which is good. The "only" thing you "need" him 7*'d for is 7* R2D2 (and raids...)
