I'll worry any other characters that need them once I see the ability and if it adds much utility. Like Zetas the best course is probably patience anyway.

I just don't get all the freaking out about a material you can't even use yet.

That's not a reasonable argument in a resource management game. Looking ahead and planning is not only valid, it's crititcal.

You can plan ahead but only to the extent of what you can control.

For omicrons, the only thing I can control is trying to get max crate on GC. I already do that. Further than that, we don't have enough information to decide which character abilities are best. And plenty of time to plan that out after you get close to getting a character that uses one or they rework a character.

I agree that planning ahead is critical but planning with incomplete information is foolish.

No. I think either way it's fair to assume more omicrons is better than fewer. Even if we don't know where to use them yet. It is highly unlikely you will find yourself with a surplus anytime soon.

I think I read that Hera will be the first character with an omicron ability. Hope I’m wrong

I think I saw that too. But could just just be a rumor.

So far this is the most rare item. I really hope the abilities they provide are worth the wait. Farming is going to be so painful if we have lost of characters in the future to level up. This rare I hope the abilities are at zeta+ level. ?

Then by extension of this, isnt paying attention to what is pointed to as the main source and what is denoted as a place where "you can get a small amount", critical too?

I have 4 omicrons so far: i got 2 farming signal data with cantina energy and 2 from GC rewards

How do I have 6? Didn’t see any on cantina drops and was farming chirpa and paploo for the majority of the past week.

There was another GC payed out today, so you’ve got 4 from that and presumably 2 from Cantina nodes.

I always got red box in all the GC and i have only 4 omicrons so that’s weird. Pretty sure i only got 2 omicrons from GC

Yes. I'm not really saying anything regarding how to get them. Only that his original argument that it doesn't matter because you can't use them yet is flawed.

When you can't plan on how to get them and there's little or nothing you can do to efficiently increase your supply. (99% from gc), what exactly should I be planning.

Compared to the rarity of zetas when first introduced this is like a lolly scramble. 4 per week from GC is way quicker collection than zetas were. Plus other sources you'll easily have 20 per month if you complete most gc.

I remember something like a 6 month plan to get my zetas for CLS.

Again, my only point is that not caring because you can't use them yet is irrelevant.

I believe they are saying dont care because how much or little you care doesnt change the drop rate from cantina.

He said he didn't understand why ppl are upset about something we can't use yet.

I explained why I didn't think that was a reason to not care. Didn't mean for this to confuse everyone, it's certainly not worth arguing about.
