Hyperdrive bundle for endgame players

Hello dear CG

I often hear that you dont know who to help the players with your ingame economy and so on.... I'll show my roster as an example:

Donmanolito's roster

I have 3.4m GP and some good team. What I dont have is the ability to gear some older meta teams that I need for some counters in GAC and because I would really love to have them. I even dont have the ability to gear my DR because of more pressing teams. Just an example, if I want to gear up the geonosians, DR and BSF and the Sith Triumperat I would need

- 13 Mk5 Stun guns
- 5 Mk3 Carbantis
- 10 Mk8 Bo Tech Implant (golden Eyeballs)
- 5 Mk6 Stun guns (that include each a Mk5 Stun gun and a Mk3 Carbanti)

Thats of course just the top of the iceberg and just gear to get to G12... With G12 you need at least 100 Kyrotechs and a whole lot of other stuff. But still thats gear worth of 60'000 crystals!!!

Your thing with the hyperdrive bundle was a nice move for starters but what the normal players really need would be two things.

An endgame Hyperdrive bundle that has a real big chunk of material to even get to G12 like at least 10 Mk5 Stun guns, 10 Carbantis, 10 golden Eyeballs, 5 Mk6 Stun Guns and other materials where you farm forever to even get to G12. Then Maybe 2-3 Mk12 Furnace, 2-3 Mk12 Holo Lense and some other Mk12 stuff. Also some G12 finishers like two of each of those Kyro Tech pieces and some of those golden finisher pieces. Put a full Zeta on it and I would gladly buy that for 100$. And I normally dont spend so much. I did buy all the marque packs until you raised them from 10$ to 20$, after the raise I didn't buy any by the way!

The second thing is that you should lower the crystal prieces of the purple gear by 50% or so. We have a huge power creep and that stuff is not much worth anything but just that you can take your toon up to the level where the real serious gear starts. Its just not fun that you farmed the toons like Traya and you cant gear her because new meta toons are way more pressing to gear and even that takes forever.

Actually I would like that more then just the equipment.

Firstly, wow not asking for much, are you?
50% less cost on purple gear? At least have reasonable expectations.
Secondly, if you haven't geared your geo squad or your drevan squad by this stage and you're 3.4mil, i have to ask what you've been spending everything on because it seems like maybe you have squandered your gear on far less necessary toons.

JKR, Padme, GAS, GG, CLS, BH just check my link to my SHGOH.GG page. DR was a lower priority because I dont have Sith Trooper, Sith Marauder and so on. Also I was not able to get Malak and then the focus shiftet towards padme for me and afterwards GAS. The Bugs are my gearing project right now but I had to build them up from the ground because I never used the Geo Ship Meta.

Sure its much to ask but lets be honest. They want to have a power level on the game that can clear the LS Geo TB. But the players are still struggeling to even get toons to G12 and G13. Thats the biggest issue. Purple gear is, from the power level, completly outdated gear. Still its a real bottleneck to even get to G12. Thats holding back the players. especially the newer players. Thats why I propose the cut...

Let's be honest, they do not want players at a power level that can clear the LS Geo TB any time soon. They want players struggling, a bit at least, to power up units to be viable in this TB. A $100 bundle focused only on Hoth TB units (Rogue One, Phoenix, BH, Imperial Troopers) is much more likely. Still unlikely though.

Still... Lets take the GBA at G11. You need 2x Mk6 Stun Guns... A Mk6 Stun is worth ~6000 crystals. So those two Mk6 Stun guns are worth 12k crystals. Thats more than 2 weeks of crystals if you hit place 1 in Squad and ship arena every day. And thats not even all you need. All that just to get from G11 to G12... At the pace we have right now that we need 15 toons with at least 17k GP for a special event toon how should somebody do this if he/she is not spending like 10k$ a month? And you need those to do the events they plan right now for the future. If they are not changing that the new events will not be used in years... Thats not what a game is for!

1) Your request is very unrealistic.

If we limit your proposed pack to 2 Mk12 furnace, 2 mk12 hololens, 10 carbs, 10 stun guns, 10 eyeballs, 5 gold stun guns and 2 kyrotech, you're asking for 113,660 crystals worth of stuff. To buy 113,600 crystals would cost me (in the UK) £730.

To request a pack containing all that plus more (I didn't include any cost for zetas or the additional stuff you didn't specify) for $100 saying "I'd buy that" is a bit like me saying I'd be a Lamborghini if they dropped the price to $3000. Of course I would, but it's not going to happen.

I'm not saying I agree with their pricing - I'm just saying your request is beyond fanciful and if you look at the figures above you really have to agree with that!

2) I think you have a different definition of "endgame" to most others. I think you're at least 1.5M GP away from the minimum anyone would consider "endgame".

True... I see it this way... the hyperdrive bundle pushes a day 1 player at least 1 year ahead with stuff all around that would cost huge ammounts if you calculate it. It was designed to push players far ahead but just as a one time thing.

What I propose is meant similar to that. New game modes are designed around reliced toons not G11 oder G12. Thats the past and is irrelevant. For me that means G13 is the new threshold, the new normal. There are lots of players out there that have lots of toons farmed to 7* but dont have the recources to get them even to G12. Thats where the price cut to purple gear and the endgame hyperdrive bundle should focus on. Get those sleeping toons up to a level where they become useful.

Or make a endgame hyperdrive bundle different. Make token that upgrade a toon instandly to G12. This bundle could have 5 tokens like that. Enough for a full squad. Then you can decide if you want to push a new low gear squad to G12 or maybe single toons that you struggle to upgrade because of the equipment. Actually I would like that more then just the equipment.

If the toons in the pack would give me shards for shard shop currency, I’d buy it today.

Is 3.4mil GP even considered an endgame player? Because I'm at 3.25 and I feel like there is no end in sight.

We have some 5+M in our guild and I'm pretty sure they don't feel like end game players in Geo LSTB

It's never ending. Funny enough I was talking to my nephew who plays this and he's only at 1mil GP and he was like i need to get relics. And i was like slow your roll kid. Get a good squad together first and not just randoms like you have so far.
