Well well well now that it is concrete... should we expect 3/4 R8 per new GLs ?

Yeah, looks like I was right in assuming

Talking about new GL coming soon, it’s pretty obvious that we will need R8... So, my point is, what will CG do to make it possible for players with a solid roster to reach R8 in a guild that can’t beat the heroic rancor (265M GP)? I love my guild and don’t want to leave them but CG has to find a way to help these players... Even with 10 aeromagnifiers in the last chest of hard conquest mode (if we manage to reach it at each conquest), if it is only running once a month, it means we will need at least 6 months to get enough materials to level 3 toons to R8, does it... look fair?

How long till you relic aayla, mace, and bo katan (not to mention the next group)? About 6 months? Perfect timing!!

Or today?

Thats only if they make relic 8 a requirment. And unless they make it more obtainable, i really do doubt they will make it a requirment.
Why you may ask? Because the whales cant get those areomagnifiers easily enough to instantly finish the requirments. like everyone else they are limited to waiting for conquest or raids to get the peices, currently. (Unless there are new packs im unaware of)

Don't forget Traya.

Don’t worry, the new GLs won’t be better than the old ones so you won’t need them to stay competitive.

Really hoping this is true aren't you.

For OP- Conquest, Crancor, and packs. That is what we will have for short term. Maybe they give 5 Aeromagnifiers for May 4th. But Conquest and Crancor should be enough.

How is your guild with reworked Crancor? 260 mill gp you say? That should be doable for you guys. It is quite easy so long as you have a few big hitting teams (slkr, jedi) and a good number of viable r5 teams.

Don’t forget gk either

Yep. We're likely stuck with Kylo being the be-all end-all for GLs and those of us who ponied up for SEE and JML being out of luck. So at this point if you aren't working on SLKR then you aren't doing it right.

I think they realized their mistake with Kylo and to a lesser extent Rey so from here on out the new GLs might be good but nowhere near their level of value overall

You spelled r15 wrong..... j/k

It's not obvious at all that any higher relic requirements will be needed for anything, but doesnt hurt to speculate.

i haven't give r8 to anyone yet. I don't compete for top 10 Squad Arena spots, but I doubt I would compete for them even after r8-ing an Arena squad because Arena just isn't a game mode I like.

So I'm just building up the mats & then if they release a new toon requiring r8, I won't have to worry about building up the mats. They'll be there for me to choose to spend if I think the new toon is worth it.

I'm not sure how many people are getting any major rewards out of bringing characters to r8. I'm sure there are some people who, for instance, take #1 in Arena where they're competing against r8 toons and they might have a hard time getting #1 without r8 themselves. But mostly r8 is an incremental thing. Going r6 to r7 yields the same amount of increase for a toon, but for many, many fewer resources.

So my thinking is that until there's a requirement for r8 for something, or until all my toons are r7, there's no point in r8.
