About FO Stormtrooper

I've been farming him since BB8 was announced literally from scratch. He's still half way into the 5th star. I think that a character who is been in the game for over a year and wgo is essential to a legendary character should be easier to acquire. 3 hard nodes is better than 1 but still not a very quick farm.

You took FO pilot to the fleet store so perhaps it's time for FO ST to make it to a store too? Galactic war store hasn't seen a new character since Zeb which was like 6 months ago, same for cantina store with chop and arena store with kanan. Since there are FO characters in GW and cantina stores he should be added in Arena store. Or maybe GW which is easier for taking the load of 2 characters.

I know how this is going to sound for those who went through the pain of getting him the hard way however no-one complained when the pilot went to the fleet store and also I'm pretty confident that the majority of players still don't have him and would benefit from this decision.

Farming him is a huge blow to my daily progress, especially since I'm not gonna ever need him besides the BB8 event, so he's gonna be a character who I get to 7 stars gear 8 and dump him for the rest of time. Costing me over 200 energy on daily basis feels so bad... it's definitely a waste of resources and I feel that the vast majority of this community feels the same.

Lastly, I'm very confident that BB8 will be brought back this December. It's not official, just my opinion. Since BB8 was introduced not so far behind, I think that it hasn't been enough time for people to get FO ST to 7 stars so soon. Something needs to be done about this... Also please don't try to make the case that we can get him at 5 or 6 stars, we all know that the only way we want BB8 is for HAAT.

I really hope that we'll be given a fair chance to have him in time for these events...
  • Dont underestimate FOST. In a FO quad-zeta team he s one of the best units on attack. Have you seen FOTP attacking anyone 4 times in a row? Devastating.
  • I started when bb8 requirements were confirmed. He's 7* now. 15 sims a day gives you around 5 shards a day. That works out to 66 days. It's not that awful. And even with FOTP in the shop AND login toon, he was only very slightly faster.
  • Same here. I managed to get him to 5* and picked up 5* on the first BB8 event. Then I stopped farming him for a while to focus on Veers, assuming he would be needed when they launched DSTB. I restarted I think either when they changed Rey’s name to Scavenger Rey or when they announced the Hero’s Event, but i’ve been averaging 5 shares a day and am at 80/100. I’m kind of expecting BB8 to launch again either immediately or maybe 1 week after Thrawn, but at this rate, i’m only 4 days away.

    Besides which, there are 137 characters in this game. We all make our choices shoot farm and when. There isn’t really a need to fixate this much...
  • *who to farm and when

    I swear I proof-read before posting - I’m really thinking autocorrect is out to get me...

    ^^this is true
    the game has so much right now that any reasonable person will not be able to keep up with all the farming. u gotta pick what u want and focus on that.
    even though my cantina is free, i am still farming captain han solo to 7* as if rey didnt even exist, and when im over imma finish barris, only then ill see what to do about the vets. its my plan and im not gonna change it for hopping on every meta train

    i chose to ignore vets for now and miss on jedi rey.
    its something i decided to miss on
    however im farming fost daily 30 times (15 times and refreshing every node) cauz i dnt wanna miss BB8

  • Moved to correct sub forum.

    Sorry to say, you gotta just grind it out.
