Coming back after more than a year... or not?

I feel your pain bro. I started when the game first came out in Nov of 2015, and then quit after Christmas that year. There were no guilds, no ships, no mods, level cap was 70 or 75, and the most meta thing in the game was the occasional rockstar who had actually unlocked Vader!

I recently came back around this past Christmas, and had a TON of catching up to do. My Nov 2015 shard runs zeta teams with around 45-50K power in the top 500. It's insane trying to catch up. But I am slowly making progress. I got frustrated last month and started spending cash. That was a mistake.

This month, I'm taking a different approach. I am only focused on what I can get done today, and then logging off. I actually have crystals starting to accumulate, and plenty of energy when I need it. I am still in a major credit slump because of how insanely expensive it is to level even one toon. But that's ok. I zero in on one toon at a time and farm and level it. Oh, and if you're not in a guild, get in one stat! Raids will help you immensely in farming the gear you need.

People like us cannot waste time thinking ahead about how far we have to go, unless we're willing to drop the house payments on this silly game.

@McBee hey I'm exactly like you in terms of playing and stopping and then coming back into the game. We might be in the same shard too. And yes the struggle is real. I'm lucky to be top 1000 during payout. No chance breaking in to top 500 with those level 85 power rating 40/45k maxed out teams
