Hey CG!I have played this game for maybe two years, and I have given you a fair amount of money. I love the game. However, I feel I am being punished because I farmed characters I enjoyed, or liked. Who knew that a year ago, Bounty Hunters would be 100% essential to compete in ships? Hounds Tooth, and Hans Millennium Falcon are only accessible through Bounty Hunters, as is Chewbacca.As HT and HMF completely dominate ships across the board, people who thought outside the box, or exercised non-traditional build orders, or who simply do not like Bounty Hunters (like me) feel completely punished and excluded from ships. I see 3 solutions, buff some alternative ships, nerf them, or make them more accessible. Please do something though.... ships is in a sad state, and keeping HMF out of reach just because people could not read your minds and predict the extreme importance of a single faction, well, that’s unfair and extremely disappointing.Hope you are listening. Otherwise, thanks for making a mostly great game!

Translation: I don’t have the best things so everybody else’s things should be made worse.This game isn’t built on participation trophies.

I just want Jedi Knight Luke. The one character that started me loving SW when I went to see RotJ in 83 when i was 5. The one character that has been on every title screen art but not in the game. How long are they gonna keep that toon on the backburner?

I'd rather define this as thinking in one of the corners of the box instead of thinking outside. You know, the latter usually helps you achieve something that others don't while not having the Falcon after 3 runs is more like covering both your ears and turning your back on all the obvious signs.

I said “I see 3 solutions, buff some alternative ships, nerf them, or make them more accessible.” that is not a singular request to nerf anything, rather an opening for a discussion in solutions to broaden the game and make it more dynamic. I suspect you are smart enough to understand that, if you tried.Further, HMF has only had 2 events since debuting this year. The first time, I had 0 Bounty Hunters cause I farmed people I liked (Rebels, Ewoks, Empire, droids) as I said above. Since then, I have farmed BH as best I could. On the 2nd event, I managed to get some shards for HMF, but not enough to unlock. Finally, as the name of the game states “galaxy of....”, it is pretty sad that the “galaxy” comes down to really just 2 ships.So again, because I and people like me did not farm BH teams, we have been essentially been locked out of ships.

At this point it's just neglecting to farm it, no clue to pick up on, no hidden puzzle. This is about as obvious as it gets."joelgs23;c-1942311" wrote:The first time, I had 0 Bounty Hunters cause I farmed people I liked (Rebels, Ewoks, Empire, droids) as I said above. This is as much inside the box as it can be, just a few steps behind.

Punished for thinking outside the box??

Yeah, if you like other toons, you can't do better than spending the resources for the ship meta, then you get back whatever you spent x10 as you take top5 every day for months on end. It's much easier to take #1 in ships than in squad arena, and those crystals pile up over time into a massive advantage in shards, gear, or both.

it's less "reading minds" and more "they told us we need X for Y, so...".

No reason to farm? How about learning after rd 1 that you need them for MILF?hiw about rd 2 learning its meta... How about rd 3 that it still is.

Bounties and hmf have been out forever. You don't have to abandon farms to have done them by now.

i disagree. perhaps you have not had to, but there are plenty that have or would have to abandon farms to have got these. all due respect, your perception isn't necessarily reality for others

It's like when the old porn star is missing out on parts so she has to do stuff she hasn't done before to get interest.

Jedi Luke will be a sign the game is ending and he will be the last hurrah.

I agree ships is stale. But your title is misleading, none of what you said suggests thinking outside the box, you just chose to NOT follow the META, which is a valid choice, but there wasn't much thinking or logic involved.

The drop rates are the same for all shards, so citing drop rates for F Bastila compared to others is useless. You’ve had more than enough time to farm for the Falcon, if you farm even remotely aggressively enough.

I spend 2 refreshes a day, be it cantina or fleet or regular energy and I got Revan, Drevan, Malak, and Padme all second time around, while at the same time farming for the Falcon. I don’t have Padme or the Falcon at 7*, but that doesn’t matter. Point is, you can do it without spending like a whale. Plenty of time.

Why not just get the ships now? Better late than never.

Thinking outside the box doesn't do a whole lot of good when all the food is in the box. There are lots of skeletons who died of starvation outside the box.

If you read my OP, I said that... I requested they make the ships more accessible... sigh...
