Coming back after more than a year... or not?
I quitted the game in January 2016, and a couple of days ago I started again, to see how much it had changed.
There are some positive things. For example, the ships tutorial gave me Grand Moff Tarking, Admiral Ackbar, Mace Windows and a TIE pilot (not the same one I already had, so it must be new), and enough ships to at least start playing. I was also able to unlock Leia (one of my most desired toons back then) with some of the pvp coins I saved before leaving. I haven't tried guilds, because I don't want to join one if I'm not sure that I'm going to stay, but I'd like to test them.
Galactic Wars seem to be the same as always. My level 71 toons get paired with level 82+ teams who one-shot my best team before I even have the chance to restart. But that's normal, people have more than one year of advantage over me, I consider a good achievement reaching the last node. This would be the "not better, but not too worse either" part.
Now the worst part, the one that made me leave, seems intact, or even worse. And I'm talking about the endless farming. I still need 350 purple hyporyringes only for my 7 main toons, not counting all the ones I have at gear level VII! And 100 stuncuffs, more than 100 flamedroids (I didn't count those), more than 200 of something else, etc. How on Earth am I going to get all those gears?? Using all my daily energy, I get a maximum of 2 of only one of those gears, and I need hundreds of each!
Then, shards. I saw in the shop a toon that has an ability to instantly kill an enemy. Cool! Let's look what the shop says... "11xx crystals, 5 guaranteed shards with a possibility of up to 30". What? 11k crystals to unlock him? Then thousands and thousands more to star it up? No, thanks. I'll continue my road to give Dooku his last star, instead. But wait! I can't battle in the Cantina because now I need modifiers! After a year, people must have lots of max-level max-star modifiers, what do I do? Finish Dooku (I calculate a month or two to get all the shards, at the same time working for Qui-Gon-Jinn's last star, too), or try to get some gears? Why can't I do both things?
If someone can give me some advice, especially on the last two things (gears and what to do with cantina energy), I'd be very thankful. And if someone wants to lend me a temporary space on their guild, just to test how it works, then that would be very generous.
