HR Soldier Farming

Sounds like you can get ROLO shards even if you don't have HRSoldier or CHS just by being in a guild with people who do. And you'll be able to participate in most of TB without them as well. Just take a deep breath. HAAT has been around for almost a year and I still don't have GK unlocked (literally one shard away). This game operates on a long timescale. If it becomes clear that HRSoldier really is critical for you, you'll have time to get him.

Especially when you farm 5 a day and get no shards!

Hey all, I wanted to throw some perspective onto this Hoth Soldier farming dilemma. He is only available on the one hard node, DS3B, which requires 12 energy to run. Without spending crystals, you can run this node 5 times per day, using 60 energy. We all know this.

• Farm every day: 5* HRSo in 87 days -- 7* in 198 days. Cost: 60 energy/day.
  
• Buy a refresh for 50 crystals: 44 days for 5*, 99 days for 7*. Cost: 120 energy/day.
  
• Buy another 50 refresh: 5* in 29 days, 7* in 66 days. Cost: 180 energy/day

On the timescale of this game, it does not take that long to get the Soldier to 5* if you can devote 100 crystals/day to refreshing the node, and you can do it with free energy. Just buckle down and get to it.

Just one minor correction, the second refresh costs 100 crystals.

Depends on where you are in the game I guess. Simming that one extra node a day is an agonizing task. My index finger hurts just thinking about it.

Save yourself the sim ticket and autobattle it! You even get a tiny bit more ally tokens, meaning a couple more chances at a bronzium pull. Not much of an edge, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a stick.

I recommend watching the videos posted today. It's mostly special missions that require specific toons but I think there are a couple combat missions that do too.

I didn't watch the videos, but I skimmed the data mined info and if it's accurate, it looks like Combat missions have three difficulties. At the lowest difficulty you just need five light side characters, at the medium difficulty you need, like, Hoths at 3* each. At the highest difficulty you need both at 6*, I think.

I don't know anything about special missions, couldn't be bothered to read up those requirements =P

You're correct. According to the original post, you get 1 Leia shard for completing that Special Mission. Since all rewards are shared equally amongst the whole guild, your one win gets 1 shard for everyone.

I think it's funny...if they made it too easy, ppl would complain...if they make it too hard ppl complain. My friend reminded me that EA/CG is a business and they need to make money.

Just think if you were the president of that company and were giving out a free game to play. how exactly would you pay for your employees and/or your own salary? Where do you think the revenue for this game comes from...by requiring 1* characters and a ton of upfront rewards?

And for the record, all of those complaining about no love for DS, next year when they do have a DS TB, you will be happy.

I think I am done complaining. I get it all now.

Sure I saw on warriors video that 5* soldier and 6* scout were their only requirements. Could be wrong but I rewound and watched twice to confirm. If you can't manage a 5* soldier fairly quickly, why are you here?

If CG wants to gate content, make it difficult, don't use arbitrary silliness.

Seriously, what's next? 7* CUP required to unlock Padme? 7* Mob Enforcer to snag 3PO? :(

The more I'm hearing about TB, the less I like.

Nobone forces you to play TB.

Correct. If I don't want any of the characters... or to help my guild..or G12 gear...then my arena rank can plummet without G12 and GW will become impossible, as I am sure there will be G12 teams nodes 9-11. Also it's likely that future content will requite both the new heroes and g12 toons. So my in-game progress would basically freeze. But yes, you are correct.

You can respond to this but not to your exaggeration of a "gate"?

Because I didn't think you were trolling. If what has been posted is correct, you need 7* HRSoldier to obtain ROLO shards. Please explain to me how that is not a gate. Especially if you will eventually need ROLO to obtain Jedi Luke sometime in the future.

Warrior posted a 5* requirement for HRSoldier. 6* for scout (easy farm for scout)

Jedi Luke is probably a year in the future. Eventine just did the math and proved you can, with normal RNG, get that minimum requirement in 86 days, if you are starting from bottom up, which no one is. So there is plenty of time

So just drop everything we're currently trying to build and focus on farming two otherwise useless toons for two two and half months? Nah, not buying into the hype this time. I use to pay every now and then but I'm strictly FTP now. If the game becomes a massive wall, I'll just move on. Simple. And saves me money and stress in the end.

I somewhat agree. Not a fan of rogue 1 7* rebels being a requirement, nor am I a fan of 7* phoenix, given that neither squads had anything to do with the battle on Hoth. That said and to be honest without a complete knowledge of how this will work, I assume most HAAT guilds will be able to put these requirements together fairly quickly.

lol I refuse to farm Rogue One rebels. I'm working on PS only for Thrawn.

Busted! Guess who hasn't refreshed a hard node more than once? Yep, me. Ah well. The rest still holds.

That's good to know makes me feel not so bad about having both hoth brothers at 5 and six stars and farming them now will have scout to seven and am working on soldier to si

PS is pretty good in raids and get not a waste
