40 wins each with Sith Empire & Old Republic?

That's 4x day for 10 days. Each.

Back to grind for grind's sake: no thank you. I'm noping out of Conquest again because CG is determined to make the game mode anything other than fun. Seriously, CG, what do you think is fun about setting timers 4x a day for 10 days in a row to use teams that can't win anything without the right data disks, which means constantly doing paperwork-shuffling to get the right disks on for the right teams, multiple times per day?

No.

It's not fun. I don't care what the rewards are: the purpose of a game is to have fun. Try, really TRY, to remember that for next conquest.

I'm out for 3 months.

    Look, look, look--you can go all out and grind and spend and get Malgus in 3 months. Or you can go at a relaxed pace, not spend, and get him in 6 months.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah--other people will spend and grind and whatever. But who cares? How many people do you think are going to do that? Just let them pay to keep the game afloat and ride their coattails.


    Actually, if you get gold crate I’m pretty sure you get him in 4 Conquests. Also, even without 7* Inquisitors it should be possible to get red crate without spending.

    But ultimately what you potentially lose is GAC matches (and maybe TW) in the meantime. If it does take you 6 Conquests, that’s 3 months if disadvantage in PVP. Does that matter to you is the question.


    A few more losses equates to how many crystals? Could I just buy them for less than Malgus costs?


    Not sure. Someone would have to do that math. But if you assume worst case and you always get matched against someone with Malgus and go from 2-1 or 3-0 to 1-2 or 0-3, I would guess total crystal loss over 3 months would be about 10k. That will be less if you get gold crate since you’re only a month behind.

    Doubtful a person goes from 3-0 to 0-3 over Malgus.

    We would only consider losses where the opponent has malgus, AND it was a decisive factor. In the first 3 months I think it would be fairly low.


    I agree, just saying if you’re trying to calculate the actual cost you have to account for worst case scenario.
  • I guess it was expected of $$CG$$ to include inquisitors in ChoreQuest feats even though the latest one came out a couple days ago but come on $$CG$$ do you really need to milk us hard with the garbage toons included in some feats. Talia, nightsister initiate and Zalbar have to survive a battle is one example. I’m sure a ultra mega kraken has nightsister initiate at R7 but I think mine is G8 and has never been used other than a throw away warm up act against WalletRey. I agree with making ChoreQuest just a little bit more fun and looking forward to it every month than constantly being a total disappointment because I don’t have Gamorean guard or UrrrUurrrRur fully geared up. Throw us a bone every once in a while would you please $$CG$$!!!!!

    Actually they increased it. Pretty sure you can get 7* with 2 gold and 1 red create if you buy the $10 pass.


    But that again assumes the person bought enough of the inquisitors to get red crate.


    Not really, since it means you don't need good Inquisitors until the July Conquest, buying you an extra 2 months to work on them, which should be plenty of time to have them at 7*.


    There is no way anyone could get all inquisitors at 7 stars 2 months from now unless your buying packs.


    Well, that's not necessarily true. Ultimately depends where the last two go. Maybe they both end up in cantina, which is a pretty quick farm at 3x100. Also don't have to have them all at 7* for these feats, depending on how it goes in s5. But kill 50 with Inquisitors can likely be done at g11 if you're stubborn enough, so even having the first 3 at relics should be plenty.

    Star…cmon you think that the inquisitors at G11 are gonna do anything in S5?


    No, but very feasible to have the first 3 at 7* for next go-round. And 50 kills is s3, so that should be do-able, and 300 purge is s4... just need some Entrenched and a DV or EP lead, preferably against a Nest or MM/Geo team.

    i think i heard you can skip about 33 keycards or so for top crate so you can skip the S5 feat of winning X battles with full squad and still get red crate

    Well, that's not necessarily true. Ultimately depends where the last two go. Maybe they both end up in cantina, which is a pretty quick farm at 3x100. Also don't have to have them all at 7* for these feats, depending on how it goes in s5. But kill 50 with Inquisitors can likely be done at g11 if you're stubborn enough, so even having the first 3 at relics should be plenty.

    Are you saying this because of the Patience unique? All allies need to be Inquisitorius for that. So Vader or EP lead won't work.

    Also, not entirely sure that unique can even do it, as they are probably inflicting Purge on themselves, and doesn't count as you attempting to inflict.
  • I did gold crates for the Maul conquest. It only delayed unlock by 2 months. It's a totally viable option.

    You can do it in four instead of five.
  • I don't get the "logic" here. OP doesn't feel like using a faction so you'd rather get "zero rewards" than "most of the rewards"?

    Why not just skip those feats and still get most of the rewards? :o
