@Predian I feel the same way about my squad other than Han since I've only been using him for a week and he's awesome. Hopefully lvl 80 and changes in a few weeks allow us to run out more fun teams.
I have around 2,500 crystals saved from arena. I imagine I blow through them quickly with the 100/200 cantina and 50/100 regular refreshes in under a week. Plus I buy all ewok shards in reg shop when they come up
Yep pay out is based on the timezone when you first started playing the game and downloaded it. Depending on daylight savings it's 6 or 7 pm in your zone which is why there are so many different payouts per server.
