In Ahnaldt101's latest video about the new geonosian TB, he mentioned the new individual character gp requirements for special missions. The minimum allowed for these missions is 16500. As you may or may not know, just being at g12 will not gurantee that your characters will qualify. At about 8:25 mark in the video he displays his roster showing which of his characters would be ineligible. The only way to get lower gp characters up to the minimum requirements, besides earning more gear pieces is using 6 dot mods. Many people shrugged off my suggestion that TB was a mode that could benefit from changing characters mod loadouts. While that may have been justified in the past, it most certainly isnt now. With the minimum gp requirements, and the overall expected difficulty of the event, changing mod loadouts for your squads will be a must. And as of now the cost of moving mods is just too high, especially with the recent increase in challenging events, GA championships, etc...I've been pushing for this change for a while, but it seems practically necessary now with the new TB. Moving mods has to become cheaper. Especially if there are going to be minimum power requirements to participate. I bet many more of ahnald's characters would have been eligible if they had a full 6 dot mod loadout...Could this be one of the new game wide changes CG hinted at???

That makes Geo TB like a Sith raid for you, doesn't it? If you're managing to swap the mods every time you Sith raid, surely you'll manage it every 2nd week for a Geo TB?You're forgetting the difficulty of the overall TB. CG said even whale guilds are going to fall far from completing the event. I'm certain that means players will have to utilize optimum mods to complete as much of the missions as possible.Well, if that's the path they choose, they'll have to pay the price for it. I'm prepared to pay it, if it brings more GET2 currency as a rewardYea me too. But I think it would be insane at this point for CG to leave the current cost of moving mods as it isSanity check CG: OKSanity check Ninjah: Error

It's either that, or farm g12+ pieces for geonosian spy...I hate to break it too you, but if that is what his video says, he's dead wrong. My Spy is over 16500 without a single G12 piece equipped.Stop watching his videos and use the time to farm more mods.

"Calbion;c-1890938" wrote:The Geo TBs are aimed at G13 - fully expect the later missions to be impossible without characters at G13. Moving mods to creep over the entry barrier isn’t going to do diddly squat. Just gear your characters that are needed. If you really were planning ahead rather than being reactionary you’d be stockpiling G12/12+ to gear the characters needed for the Geo TB. At the same time as farming mods (3-5 daily refreshes for mods and/or slicing material) to diversify your mod selection for GA championships which alongside Geo TB is going to be the gateway to the G12 Finishers. PSA: OP is likely to respond to any reasonable suggestion like the one above (that the new TB is meant for G13) as "non answers" and label the responders as trolls. He will then go on to explain how nobody can understand his situation and therefore his solution is the only solution. And that if you're not moving mods as much as he is then you're not using optimal strategy. He may even point out that he regularly places first in HSTR with this strategy. And finally, as icing on the cake, he may claim he has incredible mods. Don't believe it. Go look at his mods for yourself (his .gg profile is easy enough to find). In short, trying to help OP in any way is unlikely to end well. You've been warned.

6 dot mod increases 146 GP over 5A mods and 876 GP at most

It’s not significant enough to boost your lower GP toons to quality for special missions and if you can equip 6 dot mods then it’s implied that your toons are g12 and meet the 16.5k requirement

This is just not true. Your math must be off. Idk where you guys are getting the numbers from? The fact is mods can make a significant difference in character gp. As an example here is my Carth, that I'm preparing for the malak event requiring 17.5k gp. Notice the difference in gp due to modding. Also notice the cost, and you'll see what I'm talking about...

The last two are just from moving regular mods...

First image with 6E mods: 17502 GP
Fourth image with 5x mods: 17023GP

479 GP difference. Which math is off?

Necro! Oh wait, this is a new one? 16.5k is basically g12 or g11 with zeta. Only g12 for me below this is savage. Geo pilots are above, not sure about Poggle. Seems like op wants changes that only benefit those in his situation (credit poor, poor mod depth)

Actually my mod depth is fine

Called it.

Once again, I encourage folks to review his mods depth for yourself over at SWGoH.gg.

By the looks of it this isn't really something you need to worrie about anytime soon @Ninjah9. Are you trying to find reasons for cheaper modswitching again? Sure looks like that is what you're doing.

Um, it actually is something for me to worry about because I will still be participating in the event. And will be building up my droids next

Lol, not any time soon, since even if you have the shards and gear sitting around you don’t have the credits to promote them. ?

No one who is complaining about the cost of mod switching can say this and be taken seriously.

Guys, mute Ninja9 and move on with your life. He's a broken record, but not even a GOOD broken record with music and cover art--he's one of those weird 1920s records that were just people laughing that were a fad for a while.

The idea (muting him) is sound. I just worry that one of his ideas will be taken seriously if noone objects. So far alot of his ideas would, in some way, hurt my gaming experience. I'm no longer going to try to explain this to him and I will continue to post my objections, when I have them, to his ideas.
