Make logray farmable

Still not there.

I guess I agree with the larger point that a lot of legacy content needs to be made more accessible (seriously, what’s the point of farming hard nodes for Lobot or Urorurrr or even Baze at this point?). But I just don’t think that Logray and the other guild store exclusives are particularly bad offenders in this regard.

I'm also trying to star up Logray and have to agree. I understand the odds and small samples but honestly - he is never really there. I even used to grab 5 shards from time to time when I wasn't focused on him just b/c I realized he's never there. It's the lack of progress that is frustrating. If you decide to do a single hard node farm you can hoard crystals, spend energy wisely and are still subject to rng but you can make a plan forward and feel progress. With certain rotating characters - like even tusken shaman or some of the clones - it's just random. Dengar fits too but he seems to pop up more frequently - maybe he shares his spot with less toons? I understand exclusive rewards that reward time spent and progression of characters/teams. Making toons random is none of those things. Some of the toons in ship and guild event store with no other options to farm should pop up one time per day imo this way you can decide on a path and implement your plan which is what this game is about.

Is farming Logray from the guild store as bad as farming Grievous from the fleet store? Grievous hasn't shown up in nearly 3 weeks now and I once went 2 months without seeing him.

Sorry to hear that.

I bought five more shards this morning at refresh.

Some toons are more accessible than others. There's no reason for them to change it.

Logray rotates with
Echo
Rex
Kylo
Cody
Old ben

From what I’ve seen so with me being about 65 shards short that is about a 1 month farm if I make sure to check every rotation. With bad rng and that degree of variance it could easily balloon up to 2 maybe 3.

The moral of the story. Logray is probably most efficiently farmed by slowly farming from the guild shop which would take 6-8 months or you can spend crystals in the main shop.

Refresh then.

It’s more effective to just buy the shards.
Logray is effectively still p2p

Assuming six toons sharing that slot, and assuming an even distribution of appearance (which isn't the case, but assuming for simplicity sake)....four refreshes of the store daily. After three days you'd see each toon twice, meaning you can buy 10 shards every three days. It would take you 18-21 days to get 65 shards.

With that said we know there isn't an even distribution, it's RNG (although we also don't know how weighted the odds of each are). So it could be far less than 18 days....or far more.

EDIT: Seems to be a safe bet that the event starts 12/14 and runs a week, so you have around 18 days or so.

A character that takes a long time to farm, but has also been available to farm for a long time (over a year - placed in the guild store on October 18, 2017) is effectively p2p?

Ok.
