To the dev's, what are you guys doing with these pieces? With the new tb are they gonna remain a super slow farm or crystal purchase? Are they gonna be farmable with the new currency?I'm asking because these pieces as they are now are unsustainable. It seems like all the new characters are gonna have them and the current farming method makes having a character or farming a character pointless cus they can't be geared. Simply put, I'm not spending 1400 Crystal's per piece when characters need up to 4 of them. It's a good game, but not that good.

i just spent 2800 crystals to get Darth Revan to g9 only to figure out (yes i should have checked before hand on swgoh.gg) that he needs another of the same piece. If kryos are going to be standard new gear, they need to make them more accessible. I'm not saying they have to be challenge gear, but at least put them in some stores (guild events, the new store, whatever) so you can buy them for something other than crystals.

Farming the gear from nodes isn't that bad. It only took a little over a week to get the 200 pieces I needed for DR.

They make me not want to start another new toon at all that's all I know. ?♂️

They have mentioned a few times gear being in the new stores, it is likely these will be some of the pieces available in the new GAC currency store, or maybe added to the GC1/CG2 store(s)

If you have her high star, you either spend money or have a ton of crystals and thus kyrotech isn't an issue. If you are choosing to get her up right now at low stars and spend kyrotech on her instead of saving it for Darth Revan... Then it's just a poor decision about where to spend rare gear. For kyrotech: Darth Revan needs 2, Malak needs 4, Padme needs 3, and Shaak Ti needs 3 eventually. These are not surprises. Plan accordingly. Assume future characters will also require them. This game is about resource management.

Just farm them with normal energy for now.
The new currency will also be pretty premium as it would be the main source of G12 finishers, I would not spend MKII currency on farmable kylo tech gear.

But hey they showed how they increased carbantis to help ease the gear grind... just to create a new one. So now the choice is save-spend crystals, /farm kyros. OR choose between G12 finishers, characters or other stuff in Geo TB GET 2 store...

There's only 4 characters out of the whole lot that require this gear. If they made it easily accessible and/or cheaper to obtain they wouldn't have the power creep road block. The gear is designed to slow you down so everyone doesn't have massive GP rosters.. however if you want to speed along you must pay, hence the crystal purchases...

I think you're missing my point. I had a g12+ Darth revan on the day of second release due to the planning you mention. But now I've gotta do malak, padme, shark ti and whoever else is coming along. My problem is the trend is leaning heavily toward all new characters needing these pieces. And grinding single nodes for months to do one character is not my idea of fun. It makes getting the character pointless. For example I'm ready for malak right now, but im not excited to get him because I just can't gear him. Not excited to get one of the best characters in the game, that's no good.

I really hope so, but they didn't mention the kryo parts so I'm more than a little worried.
