Is galactic conquest worth the headache?

I didn’t red crate them, as I didn’t have the feats, but even I remember being able to finish sector 5 without refreshes those last two seasons. They definitely increased the number of battles in sectors after the first few seasons.

On the original topic, my two cents: too much of a grind, but not optional really as it’s the best way to get top toons relatively cheaply. FWIW I usually hit the penultimate crate and just accept I’ll get the toon after a month or two of PG or buy the extra shards for crystals/conq currency.

LOL I’ll let Darjelo correct you on this assertion.

I think you’re confused, I’m agreeing with them. Having looked at the dev posts I see my mistake, they didn’t increase the battles, just the cost per battle. Doesn’t change that it was possible to finish hard conquest without energy refreshes.

It was not possible to Red Crate Conq 2-5 without refreshes. Only Conq 1.

The link provided is when they made it further impossible after Conq 6. But it was no longer possible to get red crate and not buy refreshes after Conq 1.

Right, but I’ve looked back at the dev posts (felt the need to, that’s my personal pathology) for the time from the start of conquest with RC (seasons 1-3) and CAT (seasons 4-6) and they don’t mention any changes to numbers of nodes or energy per node during that time. The only changes they made were to costs of rewards at scavengers and to fix issues with JKLs lead. In fact after the end of the RC events they specifically say they aren’t making any major changes other than to disks and consumables.

Clearly the first major changes were after s6 to start with the first Maul season s7. It seems like an odd hill to choose to die on, but you do you.
