New TB info: MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR Complaints

At 425 mil we might hit 24 stars. There are some issues I hope they're addressing with the new TB, but I don't think some of the concerns presented about it were wrong. The missions have some fun to them. I can't use Qira scoundrels in LS Geo TB, but having a mission here with her is nice. Though mine was already relic'd up. There is a lot of fun in this new TB so far.

While they told us they are improving the gear drop, they hit us with some fairly severe relic requirements in this TB. So we got more gear to increase characters to gear 12, but what about getting characters from relic 1 to relic 9? Even at that, using my executor fleet and watching my Relic 9 Bossk piloted Hound's Tooth (you know the TANK?) get one shot by the geo crazy team is discouraging. (Even in LS Geo TB the geo ships are out of control, but then the fleet AI does a lot of sketchy stuff everywhere, if not flat out cheats.)

If those in your guild want to build the teams for the platoons / operations, then you can probably get more stars. and eventually climb higher in the star count. Though CG also told us at one point that LS Geo TB was "future content" and no guild has gotten max stars yet due to their math problems with GP. So how far into the "future" is this end-game content going to be? 3 years, 5 years, 10, etc? Will it take 5-10 years for players that can do a few missions now to be able to do most of the missions in Phase 6? It might take longer the way you're restricting relic materials.

The best thing that CG's done since announcing the release of this new TB is that Crumb went on Twitch and played a bunch of missions to show players how the mechanics work and some of the playthrough. (It's quite possible he did it on his own, but it's still a positive for CG.) So, good on Crumb for doing that, I think it really helped ease some of the stress and frustration for us.
