BB8>>> not going for him.....

@GuanIsHere yeah same here, I farmed the double drops til the end, but BB8 is not a priority. It's good to get a start on First Order, but my precious resources are more useful elsewhere! I definitely agree that BB8 will be necessary to unlock some other OP character since that seems to be the route the game is headed....but I have to catch up on the other OPs like Thrawn and CLS!

I'm one of them that thought First Order would be would be that next Big Meta. I skipped Chaze, DN and GAT to finish them. Phasma and Kylo g11 with Zetas and the rest g10. Now I get my revenge

Don't really care about BB8 either. I'd rather make sure my Phoenix is squared away to 7 star Thrawn, who will serve as my fifth empire toon to 7 star R2, whom is the last character I need to unlock CLS next time he rolls around. I'm pretty light on Darkside characters because I've been playing since May and its been all about Rebels since then.

My FO squad is too far off to bother...Phasma and FOO aren't even unlocked yet, and Kylo and FOST are naked, and really I don't have much use for FO at the moment. Even if I spent a bundle to star and gear them up on time, then I run into the issue of not having a droid or a resistance squad that can even use BB8. I pretty much need to gear two complete squads to have any use at all for BB8, and I don't think FO, resistance, or droids with or without BB8 will do as much for my raid scores, arena rank, or TB contributions as other things I could be working on.

Isn't FOTP in fleet shop now?

Yes. FOST seems to be the toon holding people back now.

Because he is only good in a full FO squad which isn't arena viable and needs 3 zetas to work.

It is more fun to chase the "meta" ;)

Is it just me or is BB8 for once, a legendary toon that doesnt require immediate farming. Yup, he does seem good for resistance, but they run riot in the game modes they are used. Beyond this BB8 eems less of a bost that R2, thrawn or CLS. I'm gonna use the deouble drops until they end then not really care for BB8 for now.
Anyone else feel the same?

I'm just too new to work on first order from scratch in time, so I'm ignoring BB8 .....,But there is a good chance you'll need BB8 in order to get last jedi Rey and BB8 event prob won't be back again before that....

I doubt it. FO is the hardest farm in the game, FAR worse than the empire that was required for R2. and they still dropped the R2 event in before the CLS event launched.

My guess is that if BB8 is indeed needed for jedi rey, they'll bring the BB8 event back just before, same as R2. If they have anything about them this is what they should do. They can't expect people to farm a 2 node toon in a matter of a few weeks, especially when there are virtually no breaks from having to farm the toons they want you to.

OP - I'm not bothering with BB8 because the farm is just too unrealistic for me. only had FOST at 2 star prior to the reveal. I went for it for the first few days and DD's but the drop rate was so appalling I quickly stopped buying refreshes.

I'm just doing the standard hard nodes now and enjoying the freedom of being able to focus on gearing my toons with the crystals i'm diverting there.

it's a shame though because I use my resistance team for HAAT - BB8 would have taken them to the next level.

Offence mods......how many characters actually have the recommended mods as offence?

Speed, potency, crit chance, crit damage etc

Offence is way doen the list, especially with more and more toons that hit like a brick without them.

Four zetas. :|

Phasma, FOST, and FOTP. Kylo doesn't *need* his, it's just very useful.

I'm passing. With the state of things and recent developments, I'm not about to open my wallet and panic farm for yet another uninteresting character being shoehorned down our throats. The panic farm **** is getting seriously old and extremely frustrating. We shouldn't have to get 5 characters 7* in a week and only with the assistance of a high cost pack. Again. And again. And again.

Is revenue down that much?

Think a lot of people have reached a limit with this panic farming garbage. I'm ignoring him.
