ive been crazy lucky on the double drops so far and might be able to get my phoenix to 5* before the event ends. initially i assumed my obstacle would be getting hera to 5* because of cantina drops but now i have to cross my fingers that GW doesnt gently caress me enough to finish zeb in time.

i know 5* palpatine probably isnt super duper great but it'll still be nice for trying to clear out those empire nodes for now.

Yeah, I took Hera from 35/100 to 62/100 on 2.5 full energy sims. I will absolutely take that many shards in a day. Sorry for your rng luck.

I was regretting spending 1250 for 16 Nest shards the other day, but then after spending around 300 crystals and only geting 4 Bossk shards, I probably was right.

I’m the idiot who just found out Weekly Shipments were a thing. I only knew about daily shipments, never noticed the other tab.

How long has this been a thing I’ve been completely unaware of?

Eh, not too long. Maybe a couple months?

The best option that comes in there is the two Omega mats for 50K ally points since that's literally the only use for ally points now.

The first couple weeks had really cheap, good items (I think cuffs or carbs or something) for a good price, but mostly it's just been very middling with 90% of things costing 1k+ crystals

I think you get more bang per buck running a macro to open bronziums, but I can understand not wanting to bother

Yeah you get more shard shop currency but end-game players typically aren't hurting for that right now. Omega mats are comparable to Zeta mats in terms of production rate.

Ally points remind me of SHIELD tokens in Avengers Alliance. They were used just to raise the level of characters and a few things in the store needed them, but you got so many when you have what we had, a massive goon alliance on FB playing, that I am pretty sure when the game shut down I had at least a million of the stupid things.

Yea, at least Ewoks were characters that have been available for a while, unlike Revan that needed characters barely a month old.

Revan could be full autoed with ungeared dudes and a zbast at G12 though, whereas these challenging legendary events with old characters (e.g. chewie) requires really well geared dudes.

Id say the latter case requires just as much work as the first

I've been working on my ewoks for a while but I still only have a 4* wicket and chief, the others are much higher but obviously not going to be super useful I think for this.

This is me. Most of the time when a new legendary/hero is announced, I resign myself to not getting it in the first pass because I'm still playing catch-up. It doesn't help that I'm just coming back. The last I played, Jolee, Mission, etc had just dropped. I spend more time chasing the latest meta than actually buffing out my roster.

OTOH, my shard is so old that it is really easy to place high up in arena/ships because no one is actually playing. I'd rather it be different, but since CG isn't making any noise about reforming the shard matching system, I guess I'm stuck with a dead uncompetative PvP scene. I'd seriously love if they shuffled the shards every so often to match people better.

What Revan battle did you do? the first battle Mission and Zal got destroyed in the blind of an eye and Revan alone couldn't last much longer.

i have to say since i have a new account none of this has any impact on me whatsoever but i also have to say with some of the poo poo i've read has gone on lately i am a bit wishy washy on spending literally infinity energy farming bastilla and jolee on these hard nodes.

because of the timing of where thrawn and palpatine showed up i will have both of them at 5. i will be able to get hera to six in the next day but from what i understand 6* thrawn is way beyond what i'll be able to do at level 61 or 62. i absolutely cant crack top 50 in my arena shard because as it turns out my account joined the tail end of a new arena shard and i dont have the patience or interest in rerolling after that happened. i do consistently sit top 100 but i'm not sure how long that will be true if i put off getting phoenix to 7. i think i want to try and do ezra to 7 and then join QGJ so i can at least get some raid materials and the shards, i've been waiting on a 7* for that reason, is that dumb or no.

anyway i got cad bane, i'm trying to get boba, i want to have a few BH semi ready and i kinda wanna farm KRU after i finish Ezra since i figure i'll have a long time to worry about finishing phoenix before palpatine and thrawn come back, but i really would prefer to keep top 100 in arena for the 100 crystals. i don't know. phoenix mirror matches are irritating as hell in arena.

right now my roadmap is ezra/kanaan both to 7 as they'll also be part of a GMY team later, and farming bastilla and jollee for revan asap. that'll give me 4/5th of a GMY team as well as a decent headstart on a bastilla team for arena. in the meantime i think i can work on KRU in cantina until i can unlock the other two in there. whats the timetable on events like EP and thrawn, how much time am i looking at before they're back and i have to worry about getting them at 7?

If you can stay in top 100 of your arena shard consider yourself lucky. I spent most of my arena time at ~500. I got lucky with ship arena bc one of my pubbie guildmates was talking about a good raid team that included DV, TFP and tarkin, so I was well set up for it. Arena meta also changes far more often than ship arena
