KAM - closes a door to F2P

As a consequence of the Ki-Adi-Mundi lightspeed bundle, obtaining KAM for free, within a reasonable timeframe has been removed from the game. Guilds won't be running LSgeos anymore, and it will be (more) unfavorable as a guild project 

What are some ways that sourcing for KAM and (future WAT) can be added to the game to maintain f2p access to shards within a reasonable timeframe? 

It would be cool to see those elements of the Geognosis territory battle included on a rote planet, or perhaps unlocked in a bonus zone

Maybe raid token sourcing

What would be the best way to keep these characters accessible in a post-lsb world? 

  • Lots of possibilities. Let's just hope they decide to make him more accessible in general!

  • Since they took away his ability to tank, they really impacted his overall value.

  • SotE's release did far more to lower accessibility than this pack does. 

    Realistically, nothing needs to be done. He's F2P farmable and that's all that matters. Timeline is irrelevant. If you want him, you can go get him.

    Putting him somewhere else creates another issue. Whatever you are spending to go get him will be gear/relic mats for the players that already have him. As a TB character he shouldn't be anywhere else other than the TB store.

      Other tb characters, notably general kenobi, Han Solo and rolo are all available for raid currency

    He can be purchased with GET3. You will be able to buy shards for him after every ROTE vs getting him only once a month from Geo.

      It’s faster with a focused guild on LSTB any sized guild can have R3+ clones and get up to 50 shards. Mk3 is limited to stars obtained where lower GP guilds may get as little as 10 shards, as success in stars is linked to GP. Then you could run LSTB and ROTE getting 30+ shards in LSTB and 10+ in ROTE.

      The valid concern is now players will mass purchase KAM these KAM focus guilds will move on. Slowing down progress by limiting to just MK3 farming at 15-20 a month that will take a few years FTP or if the LSB does not return for players in the future.

       

  • Get3 will be the way to go, but I think the trade-off should be increasing the amount of shards for get3 currency. The kyro crunch is still insane, personally I spend my get3 on kyros instead, despite how tempting conquest toon shards are

    KAM unfortunately is pretty useless once you get past mid-game. Really only has utility on oQGJ squad in GAC
