New TB no GET 1?

If you are doing the new TB then your need for GET1 shouldn’t be as bad.

That’s not true at all. GET1 is for g12 left side, GET2 is for g12 right side.

Not sure about you but i still need tons of med packs, bayonets (for ID's) and MK4 comlinks which I get mostly with GET1. Yes they are farmable, however that means you have to stop farming something else to make up for it. Running the new TB and not getting GET1 will remove a supply of gear that is currently available.

I'm glad you brought this up. I glossed over it when I read it.

I have about 5 members in my guild that have worked on Inquisitors. And I have about 4 or 5 members working on Jabba requirements (not the same players). My Inquisitors players are hoping to add Reva to their rosters in time. But should I punish the rest of the guild and their gear needs by doing the new TB and cutting out their GET1 income? Or should I punish the players who've worked on Jabba and the Inquisitors by preventing them from acquiring what they've worked towards?

Removing GET1 currency from the new TB is not going to encourage other players to build those characters. It's only going to increase the frustration of players and push them away from the game. They basically have to choose whether to work on these characters or continue getting this currency..

Edit: typo

I agree it is a resource management game, however the developers should not be pushing you backwards in events.

You should never have to make a choice to do lower level content when you are capable of doing the higher level.

You can't complain about missing GET1 in favour of GET3 until you see what GET3 purchases.

If GET3 can purchase everything you used to purchase with GET1, then there's no problem at all.

I admit it looks ... uncertain, and possibly bad. But until we see the GET3 store we really don't know anything about whether or not GET3 is an adequate replacement for GET1.

Even Mk4 Commlinks (which I also purchase with GET1 occasionally) might do okay if GET3 purchases more of everything you need from GET1 except the purples (of which the Commlinks are the only ones that are not better sourced elsewhere). In that case, you need fewer g12 purchases with Shard Shop currency and buy every commlink that drops there (if you aren't doing that already). You could be better off on g12 with GET3 and no worse off on Commlinks.

We'll see. It will be interesting.

"Hope for the best, plan for the worst."
Time and again in this game this thought process is needed. Mods 1.0, 2.0, str raid rewards rework, etc.

If what you say ends up being true great, however as always "they" don't communicate enough so I only have what they said is going to happen, which as the RA is written the goal of the gear changes is actually not even close to being met and actually made worse by the information we have.

I would hope in adding GET3 that they also separate them out into different store tabs.
Also I’m less concerned about the gear than I am about possibly locking out hyoda. Forcing a guild to choose to give up one run a month so new recruits can get a required character, or forcing younger accounts to sacrifice one of the GLs to be in a guild with better rewards just seems off to me.
But as others have pointed out, it dependsvon what is in the GET 3 store really.

At least 50% of the goals are met. There are 2 goals, one being helping new players. The changes will help new players a lot. With accelerated farming, it was twice as fast than before to get old characters to 7*, now it will be twice as fast as before to get old characters to G12. This is awesome for players who want to get old journey guide characters, for which you only need G12 or less.

From my perspective this is categorically false. Can you help me understand your perspective? I feel like I'm missing something if what you're saying is true.

Bringing a Marquee Character up to viability, in a game where strong squads are often Relic 5+, is a longer road than when we first introduced Marquees many years ago. These changes will help shorten that journey and get characters up to snuff so you can feel confident in using them in a variety of modes sooner.

Nothing in the changes mentioned in the RA will help get a marquee to R5+ faster.

My marquee units are mostly sitting at g11 awaiting shards not long after the marquee event, and once I do get them to 7* they will need the gear not affected by the changes that are the real gear bottleneck in the game.
I also say the changes will slow this down with doing the new TB as they are not showing you will get GET1 which is a source of the left side of G12.

The doubling of most of the gear they have targeted will not really help players after certain point. Sure it will help a new player, however personally I only farm G12 and kyro. Everything else generally comes from shipments, challenges or drops from the farming of G12, kyro and shards.
