Don't u guys think it's time for some new places to farm Ki Adi Mundi and Wat Tambor? Is more worth to do Rise of the Empire than Geonosis. Why not put them on Conquest or something like it? Maybe with those new pink coins. Why not? maybe..

That's 40 months.That's over 3 years of GET3 going solely into older characters.That’s presuming no growth or progress in TB stars, when that would be happening all the time so the math is poorly modelled. Also lower end guilds did not have large numbers of Wat ready and many KAM ready anyway. Within 3 years most will have moved to guilds focusing on similar interests. Some guilds still rotate Geo’s to boost shards particularly Wat who is a low bar investment to complete the mission and required for JMK. These characters took players years to obtain and many of us moved guilds for better yields of shards, and I would rather see some equivalent in effort. Think of Mk3 as old TB shard catch up which you can use on kyro’s when done or instead of if ‘you’ choose not to use it on shards. It is the only source of them when not doing Geo TB so it should be an Easy decision if you want shards, they are more valuable than kyro’s if you need the character's. Whilst there are many sources of Kyros to sustain progression. I do not use Mk3 for Kyros I use it mostly for mod attenuators since I used it to complete KAM, it ended up equivalent to my guilds performance of 20-25 when RotE for came out. As a TB officer during Geo era it was painful to get investment in 501st for KAM shards, so earning it through Mk3 almost mimics the choices players made back then. I wanted KAM so I delayed my first GL for several months to get my 501st clones ready for KAM mission, whilst others argued the character was not worth the investment or effort which limited how fast I could earn it. Except I gave an average of 18 stars instead of the 12-13 stars for an entry point guild, indicating growth from 12 stars up to 24 stars which should be sufficient to model how bad the situation is. Also, inefficient/bad guilds are probably earning fewer than 12-13 stars. 12-13 stars is a good 200m guild that knows what they are doing, so it's potentially worse on average.Sure, they probably have Wat and are likely doing DSGeo+ROTE to max out Wat, so 660 is the absolute worst case for a returning player who comes back and joins a ROTE exclusive guild. But most guilds entirely skip LS Geo and then it is at least 330 shards for KAM, so you're still looking at 40x ROTEs for just KAM. And if guilds are rotating DS Geo for part of that, it's more than 20 months for KAM. So we could expect more than 2 years worth of ROTE rewards for KAM alone, along with missing out on those 2337 kyros. KAM is not worth that and CG should really reevaluate the cost of Wat/KAM for GET3.Expecting players that come after you to invest equal or more (in the case of purchasing KAM entirely through GET3) time into older, outdated, content is absurd. CG was willing to release LSBs to make old GL farms faster. Wat and KAM should also be made easier than they currently are, especially KAM.

CG was willing to release LSBs to make old GL farms faster. Wat and KAM should also be made easier than they currently are, especially KAM.Okay best advice to accelerate. See what guilds look for. Could be Reva ready for a TB guild. Good focused roster for TW focused. Or chasing ‘latest’ content like raids, this is easy to hyper focus. Then you can get into more efficient and larger guilds tired of larger and inactive players. The past content will deal with itself as you get better rewards. KAM is not currently a requirement. He is a nice to have. Guilds rotating between dark side Geo and RotE have accelerated access to Wat! As you can do missions in DS Geo and then use RotE Mk3 during the LS Geo. I did the comparison for my guild as a TB officer when we switched. We switched immediately for LS as KAM was much better on Mk3 from an average guild getting 20 shards from missions. And we left DS Geo for a while to finish off some members at a fast rate as we got 30-40. So it is easier now. But staying in inefficient guilds is also a choice that does not need to improved by altering the economy. And players do not need every character immediately, there is no issue unless there is no way around it. Whilst clearly there are more focused guilds which can help, which still run DS Geo. I know one planning on doing a KAM run once they have more than 20 KAM ready so it may be more useful to hit up the forums for these guilds rather than wait for things to be changed which may or may not happen.I'm done with KAM. It doesn't matter to me. But he needs to be more accessible for newer guilds as he's needed in ROTE operations. Sure, he's not yet required to unlock another character, but he's needed for the game mode that replaced LS Geo for most guilds and that's an oversight that CG should address.

No one has unlocked KAM since RotE? You have anything to support that bold claim?

Three different alliance guilds between 240-300m. The 7 stars are established accounts or were in guilds that pushed for KAM before ROTE and transferred to the smaller guild. The others at higher stars are likely similar, but I'm not 100% certain. So, for sure, less than 10% of the guild are new unlocks.

Kind of seems like most people are avoiding KAM because it's simply not worth. Hence needing an alternative method or a cheaper cost.

So KAM unlocks do still in fact happen? People just need to balance their needs and join guilds accordingly.

And the needs of people are ROTE rewards. No good guild would run LS Geo when ROTE is an option and the cost of KAM via GET3 is prohibitively expensive per my first comment and the subsequent math.

Thanks for ignoring the entirety of everything in this thread and wasting time.

The problem is that everyone wants to do end game stuff and wants CG to catch them all up no matter how long they have played the game. Why dont you just ask CG to sell every character all the time for money or crystals? Why not have every marquee and galactic chase running at all times? Lets just have everyone at the same spot no matter when they started or how they managed their account.

LS Geo is over 4 years old and they essentially deleted the game mode. Asking for a single character to be reasonably farmable after they essentially killed access to it is not out of the question. And if you expect all new players to wade through 9 years of content to get to where you currently are, only to still be 9 years behind, that's an entirely different thing wrong with how you think about the game. Old content should be sped up. It's why we have things like accelerated drops. And we got double gear drops. And we got mod rate improvements. And Galactic Bounties for ROLO and IPD. Wat and KAM are no different.

That's definitely a valid alternative solution to galactic bounties or reduced GET3 costs.

I've brought up adding KAM to Coruscant and Wat to Geonosis in chats with alliance members who are in this situation. Maybe as new SMs or maybe 5-10 shards per star on the planet or something. Some way to make it so guilds don't have to choose between holding back on rewards by playing old content or not unlocking the characters in a reasonable time frame that isn't detrimental to their income.

I’ll just add in. I am at 5.2 mil, in a guild with 230m. I can confirm that we just skip over LS Geo, and when we do do LS Geo, nobody does anything or doesn’t do well. To be fair, we’re more of a DS focused guild(I and heavy focused on GR, working on LV and JMK). I ONLY have 3 KAM shards. TOTAL. We don’t do well with RotE and people don’t participate enough to full clear EITHER HOTH. Which has always bugged me, but I get it. Some people just don’t like the feeling of doing stuff all the time for the game, but @iMalevolence is right. There should be a much easier method to REASONABLY get KAM and Wat shards. I have Wat at 4* with 53 shards to 5*. We get ON AVERAGE 10 to 13 Wat shards each time we do DS Geo, which is every other DS TB. Sometimes we’ve done RotE instead, but that’s on average. It’s not possible or reasonable to get KAM or Wat shards with GET3 when we don’t get enough of them to do squat. They should not have made LS Geo so difficult as opposed to DS Geo. Even with HIGH RELICS for those battles, it’s almost impossible for some.

I suggest you get in a better guild.
