With all the new game modes, TW, TBs that require lots of mods on your characters, it's becoming near impossible to farm mods. So many characters are necessary to farm from cantina for these game modes, as well as characters for upcoming events/hero journeys. You have to really dedicate to one and choose because they require the same type of energy. I think at this point it would be nice to have a seperate energy tank as well as a seperate area to farm mods. Or maybe reduce the energy cost for refreshes on cantina? But any kind of remedy would be nice!?

I think mods should have had separate energy from jump. And I agree.Also to the cryptic no level 6 or 7 dot mods this year. (Not a fan) if they come to fruition please set them up like g12 gear please.

I would much rather save credits to straight up buy good mods than burn through energy trying to get good mods.Another option would be to cut the refresh time on cantina energy in half.

I agree, they should change something about the way we farm mods.

A possible solution could be to add mods to cantina nodes. While you are farming a 16 energy node, you have a chance to draw a 4-5 dot mod. It would be RNG to get a mod to drop, then RNG on the type, rarity, slot, etc. It would allow you to dual farm, but it would not break the mod game since there would still be a heavy randomized aspect to it.

As long as there are people (whales) who are willing to spend enough money to sustain continued development for this game, I doubt anything will change.

The problem with freemium games is the business model that is adapted to the 1-% that spend thousands. You either play casually or go big on the spending if you want to be competitive, and the casual players will come and go. The good thing about this game is that it's backed by the movie hype and will always have fresh meat come in for the whales to snack on.

It’s nothing to do with spenders v non-spenders. Add a different currency/energy for mods and there’s no decision to make—you’re not engaging with the game, you’re just passively tapping. Add a different currency/energy and they may as well just send you a shipment at the end of the day instead with 8-10 mods...

I beg to differ. Keeping mods on cantina energy forces people to choose and spenders to refresh leading to crystal sales. If people do it now, why would they change that?

From CG's point of view, why should they fix something that's not broken? A new currency just ensures more free stuff for the players and that won't bring in more money.

I'd be happy with a rework of the mod system but I just don't see it changing if it's working fine for them right now.
