Wait and see.

That said, the fleet table still needs populating, especially with them recently doubling the amount of fleet energy we get. Expect a lot of fleet releases.

I swear if they add her to ships, I will be ****. I am still farming B1, Nest and ETA ship... ugh

Yeah I too will be able to farm Shak Tii after I finish B1, Droideka, Badstilla, Juhani, canderous, Hounds tooth, Geo Alpha, carth, Nest, sion, ig2000, xandu, Bossk, dooku, and Aniken.

Yeah no matter where they put her I'm screwed.
I have been playing for 3 years I really feel for those who just started. They will never catch up EVER.

Yeah, but everyone who starts new, is in a pool with several new players too.
so they dont have to catch up with the longtime players.

i started a second account few weeks ago and enjoy the diversity in my arena. there is one JKR on level 74 - yeah you are not safe for whales, but its cool gettin good placements with your 4* Bastilla ;)

New Boss man, Can we please have Shaak Ti to farm in Cantina instead of a Hard or Ship node?

That would be a great 1st move. That is all.

meh.... with the massive massive reduction in shard shop currency available I don't want anything in cantina anymore... kylo and shuttle drop rate is meh... (yeah prob 33 or whatever....i just bad RNG)... but it's close (close) to the only shard shop currency I get opposed to the couple shards from GW and the non existant bronzium drops anymore (RNG i get it...)... Just need Kylo node to be able to farm stuns when they hit

If ships stay at 50 I could handle a ship node or even a hard node at this point to cantina..

How is there a reduction in shard shop currency?

The assault battles and similar events that generate a lot of shard shop currency were cut in half, frequency-wise, earlier in the year. They also cut the IPD/ROLO shards in half, or to zero if you're doing Geo now.

How about the new guy decides to change the No Update to Old Store policy and puts her in Galactic War Store.

*facepalm*

The point of the release cadence is to pace the integration of new content. Not to hand it to everybody. There are enough people with a huge stash of GW/arena/cantina tokens that they could rush a new toon from those stores almost immediately, causing a breakdown in pacing the integration of new content.

If they were to reverse that decision- and that is a huge if- it is not reasonable to expect that it be a big, high profile new unit who transforms a faction. It's much more likely they would move older, lower-impact units there like Maul, Fulcrum, or Rose.

You're just asking for freebies here.

There’s no such thing as “catching up.” Everyone on a shard starts in the same place

Well if someone is just starting, they're not expected to "catch up" to players who have been playing consistently for years... that's just not realistic unless you've got boatloads of cash to spend. This is why shards is a thing, where they are matched along with others who have joined in the same time period.

Also, aside from a handful of older important squads like, Phoenix and NS, and the specific toons required for hero's journey unlocks, these newer squads are way way better than the outdated ones we were using years ago. Unless you're a completionist, you're not missing anything by not having a zQGJ, zMaul, etc... squad... back when the ability descriptions were 1 short sentence that boosted 1 or 2 stats rather than 6 paragraphs.

So I have to give up my stun guns, cuffs, eyeballs, and Gear XII pieces? No thanks.

This is CG preventing players from making gear a bigger bottleneck even if you don't understand it.

@KausDebonair

Geo TB means no huge drops of IPD/ROLO shards once every 2 weeks. That's the biggest drop in Shard Shop currency. Others have mentioned Assault Battles as well, but the TB shards, that's a huge loss. for a long time to come (7* Wat on DS and whoever they put in the special battle on LS). As a guild, we've gotten like 5 total Wat Tambor shards, but we're working on it. A lot of us are working on getting just one or two more Geos up to 16.5k to qualify. I think we'll be hitting 40+ shards/TB in about two months, but that's still two months away, and only 80/month so 3 months once we start hitting that and then there's LS TB after that. It might be a year before we have a steady infusion of TB shards again.

The only thing that's saving me is that I'm on my very last Cantina farm (Aurra Sing), and she's at 70+/100. In 3 days I won't have any farms left in Cantina at all and I can bank 300 crystals/day that I'm currently spending. This can buy gear that I'm not getting from the Shard Shop.

@everyoneelse

Whether new toons get dropped in fleet, Cantina, or Hard nodes, I'll have plenty of spare crystals to rush the farm. What I don't have is spare gear, what with the 47 and a half stun guns I still need for my geo and Sep droids, and then the 87 more I need for GalReps to get ready for LS Geo TB.

So, yeah. They can make the farm slow if they want. I'll still be farming faster than most other people by refreshing energy and/or nodes. And stretching out the farming just means that I have more time between toons to build up gear.

I'm not worried.
