Hey Devs, any insight as to when Profundity will appear in the Journey Guide?

So depending on how much you buy with crystals, those 80/shard could be a good investment.If you're just now getting to 5*, as I am refreshing the node twice a day (25/50c refreshes), then buying the remaining shards from shipments would cost nearly 14,800c, compared to 7,400c if you kept refreshing 2x a day (assuming the average 40c/shard average previously found is accurate for 12 energy nodes). Getting approximately 5 shards a day (the average is 4.85 with a .33 drop rate) you should get 150 shards in 30 days. So assuming the event doesn't start TOMORROW, I should be able to finish him within a month + a few days, and waiting that extra month will save me 6,400c I can use towards refreshing the event to get 7* ASAP. Math and delayed gratification are important for F2P. Holding off a month on the new shiny thing will mean I get the new shiny thing to 7* much much sooner. Also there's the chance that they don't release it for another month, in which case farming him from the node is just money in the bank. FOMO is how they get you.How many extra crystals would you win in GAC with 2 GL ships? How many will you lose without it?Will you not be able to climb in fleet arena? Will you need additional refreshes?You need to factor opportunity cost as well.

Otherwise, it just change where you stabilize for 50% win rate. I agree with @WookieWookie that we f2p need manage crystals well. Getting profundity unlocked soon is important as it helps your guild with TW fleet defense, and it can help GAC too. I would even withhold the rush to go for 7* immediately. For executor, I kept it at 6* once I figured out a near 100% win rate mirror for fleet arena climb. I used the next 10 months to get 10 shards free each month. I just got it 7 stars like last month. That’s like free 10k crystals for the patience.

You shouldn't have eaten that big sandwich. Sure, you were hungry, but you might ne hungry later. And your sandwich is now gone!

Well, 200 Crystals difference in Fleet Arena is 200/day x 30 days = 6,000 Crystals/month. Dropping a Division in GAC is another 20/day + end of Round and end of Season crystal differences, is likely another 1,000/month at least.

What's the interval between Profundity Release Event and the Event's subsequent return?

Only if not having profundity will prevent you to take 1st, which we don’t know.

Why is it a rush if f2p getting profundity? I didn’t have any crystals stashed when profundity was announced in RA, and I am getting really close of completing the requirement now. I didn’t think I would, but profundity seem incredibly delayed so I might have a shot for the first month unlock.

I'm hoarding like many others. But I'm not going to spend anything before I see the actual Profundity test result. Maybe it's really meta, but maybe it's meh or can be countered easily. In latter case, at least I still have the resources to re-prioritize spending on other things (e.g. Jabba).

I guess they delayed it as they didnt make enough money from the whales ....

Hence the pack releases.. and a date now given!!

But…will the changes to R8 and R9 required mats change before the event goes live? They also mentioned that awhile ago…an update would have been swell :)

Bottom line, not enough people have whaled on the requirements so the CG cannot afford to fill their gas tanks. Friendly reminder posted to encourage whaling. Oh yeah, it will beat the Exec, for sure. Spend guppies, spend!

So does Finalizer :)

This. If they don't do this update, I don't see myself putting the immense investment into profundity. If Executor can so clearly beat Profundity, it's quite possible that Profundity will be a lot worse on defense than Executor (executor mirrors are awful) so... climbing with current FO or rebel fleets should still be better and executor on defense will be better too. I even have 7 star raddus and outrider but idk if I see the rush.

Oh: where's the kit? Why can't players see yet at least theoretical representation (minus full in-game testing, which showed last time how poorly designed executor was) what they're supposed to be investing in?

Tbh, one main gripe: WHY IS IT A 1-DAY RELEASE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK? Why not on the weekend?

It is the same type of event as Executor, which was released on a Monday initially and the 15th of every month after that. I assume profundity will follow similar cadence of the last day of every month.
