Hey guys. I was watching Anhald's video today of the hyperdrive bundle restart. It made me wonder and think. I started playing the game since launch, but I have taken long, several month-long or even year-long breaks.As such, I was and am behind. I re-started in June or July of 2019. I got focused and started building a powerful roster. After Christmas, I bought the hyperdrive bundle with christmas money. It had a medium-level impact on my account. I was already level 85, but I didn't have the zeta challenge unlocked, and I didn't have Nightsisters, or some other key characters and ships. I have now progressed much farther and am happy with my progress. I was able to get CLS and Chimera. Now however, I wonder if it may have been a little more fun to restart. A lot of progress would be gone, but I would have so much more opportunity. I will not restart now, I have put too much time and money in. However, if I win the lottery or something in the future, is it somewhat fun to restart with the bundle and stomp on everyone with years of experience and decent characters?

No point in restarting. You are already ahead of a new account with hyperdrive and other stuff. Just keep continuing on your current one

If youre on an account that youve had simce the begining. Then i disagree with ultra. You may be ahead of a new account. But youre behind 80% of your active shard who didnt take a break..

You may be behind your active shard, but how much of your shard is active? I estimate my shard (Nov '15) has maybe 300 active players. A brand new shard has what, 10,000 active players? Old shard has more mature teams in the top spots so it's hard to get up there, new shard is a barbarian horde in a battle royale for top honors. Choose your poison.

If Anhald said you have to restart then you have to restart. I don’t think you have a choice in the matter, youtubers always knows best.

I don't think it's ever a good idea to restart. Why throw away all the money and time you spent on one account just to go spend it on another? To maybe get higher in your arena shard if you don't have many others doing the exact same thing? Risky. Just keep plugging away, saving zetas and anticipating the new meta and you will be back on top eventually.

If you take 1 in arenas then no point to restart. Unless you really wanna spend your money.

Restarting is a bad idea, due to hyperdrive

Continue in your current account and u will get somewhere

If you started less than 1 year ago it s better to start new account and buy hyperdrive bundle. You will be more advanced

You're in bit if of an odd situation. Restarting and buying the hyperdrive bundle you could be near top, but that also depends if you're near 1000 player to join or near the last 10,000th to enter the shard. Plus you would have to compete with all the active players and who knows how many players bought the bundle before you entered. However your current arena could either have like 200-500 active players playing in it like others have said letting you maintain a highish place but not quite top. Only 1 fleet shard ever has been shuffled around so you're definitely in the same arena shard as you were when you started the game. You could create a 2nd account and see the outcomes of arena but keep your current one just incase you dont like it. The main advantage you have with the main is it's a launch shard.

"Should I have restarted?"
I think you shouldn't. Why throw out the window all the money, time and energy you invested in it so far? Within a short time you will find yourself at the same trap in your new account as well. Whales are everywhere, so if you don't whale continuously you will not keep up. Check this post: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/222734/pros-and-cons-of-restarting

I think the best argument for restarting is that you are way behind on mod farming. You'll catch up to a hyperspace bundle purchaser eventually. You'll never catch up to a dedicated mod farmer, unless you get super lucky in your farming.
