Randomness of data disks

That's so you can go back and ace the feats.

In sector 5 now, and I still don’t have any purple datadisks lol.

Also twice I arrived at a path that leads to two data disk nodes, and both have 5 of the same damn disk which gives extra hitting power to healers. Not much of a choice really.

@khdelboy

I don't know where you're at with KAM, but KAM + Healers + that disk = slaughter.

Nowhere near unlocking him.

I have two solidarity shards lol

Lol I only found out purple ones exist by reading through this thread. And I thought I was getting so lucky getting all these greens to fill out my data capacity.

Just finished my hard run through no purples annoyingly.

Got a couple on normal last time.

You mean KAM + healers + that disk + gear = slaughter. Who has their healers geared? Lol

Duh, I guess you are rolling with g8 attackers in conquest. Gear is a given in anything that connects to success in the game.

You didn’t get it...

I even explained my joke in the comment while thinking “you should never have to explain the joke.”

To honest I haven't equipped it yet cause it's not something needed for feats so far. It would have been handy early so that winning the battles throughout the sectors with lower tier squads would have been possible which is sort of what I was getting at. Getting it now makes me think I'm not sure I'm going to use it at all.

Long time lurker, first time poster..

5.936 GP, no GLs, no DR or Malak, (working on JML, 8/15 currently) less than $80 spent lifetime with the game.

Just reached Sector 5 Boss. Not a SINGLE PURPLE DATA DISK dropped. Zip, nada, nothing. Just the same consistent Data Disks over and over. Some were duplicates in the same selection box (that's a poor "random" algorithm, IMHO)

Now, before one says,

"Well, what's your problem? You still reached the very end. The lack of the "better" Data Disks did not hold you back."

I counter that it will hold me back from achieving higher reward boxes. Just because I reached the end does in no way mean it was a success. After all, the Consumables also offer a temporary Boost that cannot be overlooked.

The true success is in how far one can go to achieve the Feats and thus the higher reward boxes.

The mode is fun and interesting. I used CLS lead, Raid Han, Chewie, C3-P0, and ROLO to great effect. The other squad was Palpatine lead, Vader, Thrawn, B2, and Wat. The Cooling Systems buffs (stacking at 59%) combined with Offensive Buffs, Decay: Turn Meter, Ruthless Swiftness, and Stacking Offense are the Data Disks that are used to reach the Last Boss.

But the lack of the Purple Data Disk drops will affect anyone's ability to achieve the highest possible Reward Box. This needs to adjusted.
