Completing the new Track F2P

Seeing a lot of concern from my F2P brethren about the new track.  It makes sense since it’s day 1 and a lot of the stuff that makes this completable unlocks over the course of the month.  Ultimately you need 250k EC to finish the track.  If you’re F2P this will come from 3 primary sources:

1.) Dailies - Every day you get 7 dailies worth 300 EX each with a 1500 EC bonus for doing them all.  28 days of this nets you 100.8k EC

2.) Episode Quests - Every day a new episode quest opens that’s worth 2000 EC.  You get 8000 EC for doing all 7 in a week.  You’ve got till the end of the month to do them all and it’ll net you 88k EC

3.) Galactic Feats - There will be 2 F2P feats every GC, maxing it out gets you 4550 EC.  With 8 total GCs that’s 72,800 EC available each episode.

Finally there’s about 4k EC worth of stuff you can do with a 3* of the new marquee, but it’s not really gonna move the needle much.

In the end, there appear to be 266,200 EC available if you don’t buy the pass and don’t buy shards of the marquees.  You’re gonna need to do most of it if you want to max out, but the good news is most of it will be pretty easy to do if you were normally getting a red or gold crate.  This will be enough to get pretty much all the rewards we used to get from GCs.  There’s just a lot more opportunity to sell us bonus stuff than there used to be.

  • It is obvious from what you said that you are not a f2p player. What would a f2p player think if he saw the task "give 20 dollars to complete the task" in a game? I leave it to you to think about and your sense of empathy and They will end this game like Star Wars Battlefront because of their greed.

      What? I’m ignoring the paid feats all together.

        Getting  the omicrons the old way didnt requiring daily engagement they increased the effor required, while keeping f2p players at what they were getting. All the while they reduced  fun since their is no longer the satisfaction of red crating.

    I did the math already my guy, you cannot complete the pass with 3 star marque characters. Not even close, even at 5 stars you don't get to the max reward.

    I just read your point 2 and 3. You doing know how to do math do you? Your second point says 88k after a month, 8k points a week times 4 weeks is only 32k points. 

    Third point, 4525 times 8 is not 72.4k, not even close. Why are you flat out lying to us?

      1/ Daily Quests
      3 600 EC / Day
      3 600 * 28 = 100 800 EC / Episode
       
      2/ Episode Quests
      7 Quest / Chapter => 7 * 2000 = 14 000 EC / Chapter
      + 8000 EC / Chapter (7 quests completed)
      => 22 000 EC / Chapter
       
      4 Chapters / Episode
      => 88 000 EC / Episode
       
      3/ GC feats
      Maxing 1 feat => 4 550 EC
         So 2 feats => 9100 EC / GC
       
      8 GC / episode => 72800 EC / Episode
       
       
      Let's assume we got 0 EC for Event Characters Quest.
      We have a total of 261 600 EC / Episode. You need 250 000 EC to max it.

        Why do people always calculate gc as if they can do two tasks in a f2p player? Are all teams strong enough to do the last part?

      For his second point,each quest every day is 2000. Plus another 8000 each week for completing all 7. 2000x28 is 56,000, then add in 4 instances of 8000 for completing all the weekly ones. 56k plus 32k. That's 88k.

      Try to read it first, then worry about the math.  You’re skipping the feats themselves and only counting the bonus for the episode points, and you’re forgetting each GC has two F2P feats.

    you are being unrealistic or maybe even a little disingenuous. 

    i can promise you that the majority of players who dont fall prey to buying these obscene multiple passes and shards are NOT going to earn enough to finish the BS episode reward path.  sure, the more money than brains people who buy all the passes and shard would finish it without all the passes and shards because they always spend spend spend spend spend...  but the people who are not going pay this extortion will not.

    first, the majority will not max out GC or even come close to it so you cant count that at all.   second, you are assuming that the "free" quests and feats are not going to be just as predatory as GC is.   so its not a given that people are going to even finish all the "free" stuff.

      If you could max out 75% of the GCs before, you’ll max out the track.  If you couldn’t, you probably won’t now.  But it does look like you’ll at least get an increase in rewards.

      The minimum reward now for people that do their dailies is 70% or the reward track.  That’s ahead of what you’d have gotten if you’d just been doing the two feats that are now locked behind paywalls.  

      I agree not everyone will max, but most people who play every day will get to the low 40s on the track.  F2P is a big label that covers a wide range of rosters, and you’re right, someone that was only getting the 110 box or less most GCs previously isn’t going to suddenly max.  But they’ll get more rewards than they used to, and folks that could get gold or red boxes previously will max out in the new system.

        what someone could do in GC before has nothing to do with anything now.  someone could have beat tier 10 in the current GC before... but now might only beat tier 4 because they dont have a built up rebel fighter squad.   right?  cuz you get nothing for beating tier 10 with anything other than rebel fighters.

    Everything about this new update and UI is designed to push FOMO, buy this pass, buy the conquest pass, buy more shards of this character every two weeks or you won't be able to take part. It's an unsavory experience however the math stacks up and it's not subtle, it's actively tracking and giving you notifications of feats you're completing but won't get rewards for unless...you spend. Really gambling industry, predatory stuff going on here.

    Thanks, this info is helpful.  Hopefully the "make good" they give helps get us closer to the amount needed this time, since I was unable to complete the dailies the first day because when the update came out I had already done challenges, arena, etc
