My guess is that they have a new raid ready but like the gearing rate where it is, so they will bring Sith Raid rewards more in line with tank. Then the new raid will have great rewards, but only the top level, which only guilds with a min of 50 GLs will be able to beat. This seems more feasible than more gear and crystals going out to everyone.

Be prepared to have your mind blown.

Feel free to elaborate. Please. :)

I assume he's talking about the anniversary gifts coming this month.

Just think about how far those CWC shards will go!

but think of the possibilities .... it could be 1 CWC shard.....it could be 5.....it could be 25.....we dont know... so exciting.

Id also say og gear 12 should be easier to get than current.... but id be ok with no change there.

Then getting to gear 12 would be easier and getting to 13 would be the focus. Relic levels would then be a trade off for taking lesser used to gear 12 or often uses to r5.... as it should be

Stun cuffs are easy.

Stun guns too, provided you have finished your get1 farms and check the get and shard stores 4x daily every single day. I have two GLs and still have over 1700 stun gun salvage.

There's the problem for newer players. You get guns from shard shop and get store but new players have little to no shard shop currency and have 4 characters that take 6 mo each (all of which are important to have) to farm from get store before they can start utilizing the shop for gear.

Add to that the fact that they have more characters that need the gear and stars to reach end game content and you start to see the problem. Now, I'm not saying you should be able to beat end game content instantly but it shouldn't take multiple years to get there.

And they need to address this so that new players will actually join and play the game.

My alt is 2m GP f2p. Not new, but certainly not old. And I've banked over 800 stun guns.

What GP is your Alts guild may I ask?, my Guild don’t get all that much GET1 but I have taken your advice on this for the last month or so and have been able to bank a few but soon I’m going to be going for DR then Malek so won’t be able to spend that and My stream of stun guns will stop. I agree with Dark Helmet that it should be a little easier for newer players to catch up to endgame and making stun guns a little more accessible without having to take away from farms such as Hoda, Malek, Wampa etc.. would certainly do that.

It's a fair question and being in a very good guild absolutely helps. I've bounced around with it a lot but always been in the 180-240m guild range, which is only generally made possible due to connections from my main and my presence on the forum. With that said, I've completely ignored Hoda/Wampa/Malak/GAS. I worked on Geos first, then GR, now working on SLKR.

Oh and an R7 86 :joy:

I guess my point is that you can build up gear but you do have to make hard choices, which seems ok to me.

This doesn’t sound like a typical players account though. I don’t believe that your experience with this account can be used as an indication of what the game is really like for new players.
You’ve ignored a ton of meta, r7 86 “just for funsies” and gotten it into a guild that is way OP for the account.

That’s all fine but it can’t really be used as a means of gauging what the game is like for a typical new player.

ugh i really hate the spam filter so i'll repeat it

-anyone can ignore the "meta" (specifically hoda/wampa/malak/gas) and still do well

-if you make smart roster choices and are very active in game and on discord, you can join a better guild than you might think - i recruited for a guild that took lower gp players because they were smart players, and both sides benefited

Recruiting stinks.. We did a cull a few months back as we found 10ish folk that wanted a better guild than their current one. Ended up with some low GP folks but it helped us all out, participation is up.

To the stun gun point, I bought Guns and skipped Malak for a moment to finish characters needed for an unlock. Yup, all about choices.

Again I understand that choices are necessary in this game but making stun guns a little easier to access is gonna make a hell of a difference to newer players. People that are in lower guilds and people who’s rosters are very heavily in the gear 8/9 range. It’ll mean they can get those characters up a little faster, have easier access to go for those long farms and catch up a little quicker, which I believe is one of the things they said they wanted to address in a previous podcast. I agree that choices need to be made but I don’t think my overall progress to try and catch up in squad arena and improving my teams for GAC should be slowed down because I have to save all my GET1 for the next 8-10 months to 7* Malek. I just think it should be added as a challenge reward or placed in one of the other stores to help newer players like myself progress a little faster. That way we can get those characters we love that little faster (I only mention Malek so much because I love KOTOR so getting both Revans and Malek has been a goal of mine from the start) and get to more endgame content where the game can get even more fun. I do see both yours and TVF’s points about making tough decisions I just don’t think it’ll hurt anyone to make them a little easier to get. It can only be good for the game in my eyes.

Too bad they nerfed the bronzium Shard Shop conversion in the process. So everyone should make sure to burn all of their ally points before this goes live.

I think they’re trying to make Bronziums give double shards, they just need a way to differentiate between Accelerated and Standard.

I don't think there are any Original in bronziums so that doesn't seem like it should be an issue.

My alt is 2m GP f2p. Not new, but certainly not old. And I've banked over 800 stun guns.

My alt account is about 6 mo old and just over level 85. I am farming hoda in get store but occasionally buy a stun gun. I have about a dozen 7 star characters but that only gets you maybe a few hundred shard shop currency month.

I believe you that it is possible to build up 800 stun guns but it likely takes quite a bit of time to do so.

And I am aware that it is possible to farm stun guns faster from th ef get store. However, skipping hoda, wampa, malak, and gas, is a rather large trade off. And even 800 stun guns saved up is only enough for about two or three characters.

You can put off farming characters from the get store for awhile but not long enough to gear the dozens of characters needed to build a decent roster.

You also didn't mention the age of your alt account so it isn't really conclusive evidence to the speed at which you get stun guns. I could sit on my alt account for 6 more months and not gear anything and farm nothing but stun guns and build up s stash but that doesn't show how it works for the average player.

Your alt account at 2 mil gp could be 2 years old or 1 year old or even less if you decided to whale out.

If you want to disagree with me, that's fine but you need a better argument than you have a 2 mil gp account that has stun guns.

Correct. This note is about the same level of detail about what is going on....
