Kyrotech needs a rework URGENTLY!

This is gonna be a bit of a rant, and I’m sure people have complained on here about it before, but there’s just a constant wall of kyrotech, all progress is halted by it. Every new character that’s released requires it, and every legendary event then requires these characters, it’s just ridiculous, if it was easier to obtain or the requirements were lowered to 25 then it would make progress far more enjoyable. 

There’s hardly anywhere to get it, you don’t get a single piece from galactic conquest!!! which is bonkers, such a long, effortful event should give you all the top rewards, it gives you everything else, so why not kyrotech????? You don’t get any in grand arena, and the currency can only buy you small amounts. The raid currency is 2000 mk2 for 5, like who thought that was a good idea??? it should be something more reasonable like 500 for 5. 

Please make it easier to obtain, it’s such a frustrating bottleneck, only being made worse by the fact that every new release also needs more of it, i can’t help but think it’s an intentional funnel to get people to spend real money on crystals and data cards so they can continue progress.

    For context, I’m about 6.5mil gp (3 GL’s), my guild is 300mil gp and we get around 20-21 stars in ROTE, so not bad, not great.

    As you say, I use all gold energy to farm shock prods everyday, so about average 10 from those and I use all my mk2 on battle computers .

    I’ve got all the AB tiers done, except for the inquisitor AB (coz again you need loads of kyro to get inquisitor team up and running), and the new AB’s (but pretty sure they don’t give kyro anyway).

  • It doesn't need a rework, you need more focus. 1 team at a time, work on your ROI farms and make sure you are constantly either growing with your guild or moving on once they fall behind

  • Disagree.

    Credits and Training Droids were a bottleneck, now they aren't.

    Tier 2 Purples were a bottleneck, now I use them to keep my coffee table aligned.

    Kyrotech was a bottleneck, now I give them out as free samples.

    Everything has a method of alleviation. You'll hit that point with Kyrotech eventually. I enjoy having to manage resources while working up the revenue streams for them. It adds a sense of accomplishment when you're finally over the hump.

    Prioritize where you drop your gear and focus on income.

    Gotta disagree - and this is from someone approaching 12M GP.  I can keep up, but all gold currency goes to kyro's. There's not really any to spare for farming toons you don't have. But, between assault battles, episode currency and refreshes i can typically get enough to get a new toon to relic the week of launch.  But, yeah, that leaves other toons that aren't relic'd a bit in the lurch. Same with getting shards for older toons that still need them.

    Perhaps the change is throw in a character from time to time that doesn't need them? Or, not every new character needs the minimum of 300.  Maybe some just need 100? Needing 300, 400 and 700 is just extreme frankly. It's literally at the point a new toon releases you know its 300. If it's a journey toon it's 4-500. GL 700. That kind of predicatability is boring. 

    As opposed to variation, NOT having a new toon every 2 weeks would be helpful in that regard. Add to that 4 conquest toons and the journey toons and you're around 30 new characters a year. That's A LOT. All of which require 300 kyro minimum.  That's a bare minimum of 9000 kyro's per year to try and stay up to date. THAT is the brutal part. Not so much 300 minimum, but the shear number of new toons per year now.

    If you recall there WAS a time CG came out and said they were pulling back on marquees (new toons) because they'd been doing too many and burning people out. At that time they were putting out fewer than they are now. Not sure why it was too much then but more isn't too much now.

  • What stage of game are you? This is important as TB missions removed this bottleneck for me. Where you can get 50 of each every TB. But if it’s too early there are steps to improve your income. Kyros are actually the most abundant gear in game but they require focus to farm.

    • AB are the first area to focus.
    • Other than shard farming use all yellow energy with all 50 crystal refreshes on LS 7B. Kyrotech shock prod and Fabritech data pad for relic scrap.
    • TB Mk2 should only be used for kyrotech battle computers as you get 15 instead of 5.
    • Some income from TW
    • Work towards JKCK and BKM missions in TB (requires guild focus to unlock planets).

    I understand some of this is difficult early game but my point is they have addressed the bottleneck but it requires investment to build your economy up.

  • As someone who complains about a great many things in SWGOH, Kyrotech isn't one of them. Two words - assault battles. In the earlier ones, you will earn 10 of each as a reward for the first challenge tier, guaranteed. In the newer ones, you will earn 45 of one of the types, also guaranteed, after completing either the third of fourth tier. You also get varying amounts as rewards from Territory Battles and Territory Wars. NEVER buy them with Raid currency, that is a ripoff.

    Kyrotech is a grind, but work on making the assault battles simmable and manage your teams well, and it shouldn't be massively frustrating.
