Very thorough, nicely put.
I am not a free to play player, I have 70 7 star toons. The goal is to be able to use everyone, isn't it? To do that the amount of gear is startling.
Drops in battles are so low, sometimes 1 or 2 out of 24 sims, that's 200 crystals. If you need 50 salvage, your spending 1000's of crystals. An honest 1/3 drop rate and farming wouldn't be a lesson in futility. 8/24 and a user would get a feeling of progression. I can't just buy all the gear that's no fun. It's better to get rewards by gameplay.
Every level of the challenges has the same gear. Variety of gear on levels so we can choose what is useful. Lower amounts at high levels is fine. I'd rather get only 2 pieces of needed gear, than 12 pieces of gear I can't use.
Raid drops have no rhyme or reason. Players that register 0 damage get 2 full crafted gear and players in top 3 get the salvage gear(available in challenges) they do not need.
Between getting shard, credits to star, leveling up, mods, ships and more
It's a misconception that giving the players a few pieces of the gear they need will not help EA fiscally so they don't care. So much gear is needed it won't be game changing. One piece 50 salvage, needing many. That's hundreds, thousands of pieces. Just to see the totals going up with the new influx of characters.
I was really enjoying the game. Acquiring new toons and trying different combinations. Now I just spend all my time keeping up with the meta. Kinda **** the fun out
Thanks for the input. And yes, sooooooo many toons need so much gear that it's insane.
I tallied up the gear I need for the 2 new toons I plan to gear by mid January, and it looks like this:
Chirrut
1xfurnace
4xcuffs
1xstun gun
1xcarbonati
1xdesign tech
GK
3xholo
6xcarbinati
3xstun gun
1xdesign tech
3xcuffs
TOTAL:
3xholo
1xfurnace
2xdesign tech
7xcuffs
7xcarbonatis
4xstun guns
That's just 2 toons, and that doesn't include any AAT raid gear.
