We should be getting a significant announcement, of a few things, on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

What we should get and what we actually get are vastly different things. Also, should is a subjective term.

Bottom line is that making this announcement then waiting over a month…and counting….before making the change, then bring an event that requires r8/r9 doesn’t make CG look good and I think it’s a complete mistake on their part.

You can wait until the event drop and see if they make the change before, but if they don’t, people are gonna be upset. It’s best not to upset your player base in any game if you can avoid it….this is something that CG doesn’t believe in thought.

I feel like you haven't heard about datacrons yet...

What are those?!?!? I hope they are a fun and interesting way to shake up the meta by making useless toons like NSI powerful so she will be finally useful for three months, then go right back to the bench after I spend resources to r7 her or make my GL’s SUPER GL’s! That would be fun. /eyeroll

CG is trolling us and it's sad you can't appreciate that and love them for it, the way so many of these are people do who are like "Executor went great, no kit release is awesome... spank me harder!"

How much of a difference in your budget is this change going to make anyway?

300 crystals for carbonite and 1,800 crystals for bronzium, if you really need to buy bronzium.

I can see needing to buy carbonite, but are there really people in this situation who don't have enough bronzium salvage materials lying around?

Yes, I am farming bronzium salvage every damned day for months on end and it's not enough. Bronzium wiring and CCBs (and mk3 carbs) are the bottlenecks between my stockpile of aeromagnifiers/brains and having more high relics.

I'd expect the r8/r9 recipe change when CG gets enuf in the bank to allow it. if not enuf players jump at the Jabba pre-reqs then it could be a while. Maybe after they actually deliver the remaining gear changes that were promised they might drop it in the first 2023 Road Ahead that they have almost got it ready for testing.

Where do you farm all your bronzium from? I would love to know which node cause I have no problem with carbonite farm on LS 1-c but I always am out of bronzium

I never need intentionally farm them. I just seem getting so much of them when farming kyro and getting it from daily challenges. This looks like my inventory. ?

I might've missed it somewhere, just curious how many GL's you have and how many other legendary characters you have?

You may very well have unlocked every character in the game and still have a stash like this.

I have all 6 GLs and all legendary toons, and in case you want to know, I also have 27 R8/R9.

unlocking characters takes none of this. Even gearing them up isn't nearly as bad as building characters for GLs and other meta characters.

Gotcha, so what you're saying is you are the one player messing up the bell curve so that CG can say, "gear is fine, no problems!" then?

No matter how I want to think I am so special, I can’t. ? as you probably already read, there are many in a similar situation like me.

On the other hand, it is indeed possible that players who started in a different year or had a different spending pattern, could run short of bronzium material. Otherwise CG wouldn’t plan to do such change.
