No matter what the complainers say the lightspeed bundles are good for the game.

I must say that those packs didnt influence my gac at all. Same stuff. Me 1 gl with 6mil gp against 3 to 5 gls with 7,5mil to 9 mil gp. Those claims about changing the balance are empty. Also i dont understand how player can complain about 10 usd pack but not 350usd new toon.

These packs are amazing and attract new players to, well, play the game. No new player wants to grind 7 years to get up to play the currently advertised content. They'll just quit.

In fact, we need more good value lightspeed bundles for past content, like non-kyro teams or omega/zeta packs that don't affect the endgame/current GL. Bringing new spenders in to replace those who retire/leave is a good thing, that way it keeps the lights on for more years to come.

Keep up the good work on these new LS packs, CG!

I have all the journey guide units the packs where for, and I did end up buying the raddus pack.


4/5 I had at G12 now at R5.

Allowing players to take large leaps forward without going broke helps everyone build faster. Even if you already had Rey if people in your guild didn't you as a guild can do better in TB and hopefully TW. Now if they can make some to help new content it would be great. I am not expecting packs for GL Leia but with the Maurader arriving imagine a Bad Batch LightSpeed bundle so people are more excited for the ship and spend more crystals to farm shards.

I'm hoping they do something similar for SEE in the future

It might take a while to feed through. If people hadn't made a start on the Raddus it could be mid january before they have it at five stars to unlock Rey.

Excluding the hyperdrive, the light speed bundles have been the only packs I’ve purchased that I genuinely felt were good value.

A key follow-up question I have, though, is if these light speed bundles are indicative of future packs offered, both in terms of value and in terms of direction. By that I mean, in six months, will we expect to see a JMLS or SEE bundle similar to these? If so, does this inform that it’s unwise to farm for older GL’s and to focus on more recent ones, or to focus on journey guide characters?

After all, many might spend six (or however many) months grinding and farming for someone, and then CG just releases a $10 pack that more or less invalidates that six months of work (at least, there’s opportunity cost there where you could’ve been farming for something else in those six months).

Again, I love the packs. But I can 100% empathize with people who likely would’ve focused on other farming plans if they had known these packs would be coming down the pipeline. I think it’d be nice if CG were to clarify what these packs may mean for the future so the playerbase can plan better accordingly.

I say if you are worried about, farm newest stuff and wait on the old.

If farming for an older one just hoard it all until you have everything ready to go, check the timing, add a couple of weeks before dropping it all.

At this point there is no telling what the cadence for these packs will be, hopefully they come out and say something.
This would be smart cause it would mitigate the "I just farmed x gl and now this drop" complaints, won't stop them cause people are what they are.
I think they turned out great, I also have a feeling they will double the price and maybe add a few more "goodies" going forward, as they did the marquee packs.

I mean, the bundles help, but there’s still a lot of work to do even with them. Farming the ships to do it, still gotta farm some characters and relic them up further, and don’t forget about how many zetas you’re lacking to make the teams worth a damn.
