Hello Holotables Heroes!I am curious about what other players in the community feel is their most specific hinderance to progression. Is it credits? Ability mats/zetas? Gear? Crystals? Energy? God Mods? META-Character paywalls?I personally feel that CG has done a GREAT job with opening up bottlenecks over the past year. The increased shops, along with ability to use alternate currencies in some shops, and increased events have allowed for versatility in resource management and allocation and allowed for proper progression.With the exception, of course, of Mk V Stun Guns.For me, at least. I can use allllll the currencies to get all the Carbantis my heart requires, but it seems like the stun guns RARELY show up in the shops. My resource allocation for energy is farming character shards at the moment, but even if I spent ALL my energy farming stun guns, it would still fall short of purchasable gear from shops.G12 and G12+ are coming at an acceptable rate, especially now that my guild is completing HSTR. All I need is a *little* more stun gun love and I’ll be oh-so happy!How about everybody else? Where do you find yourself getting frustrated with your roster progression?

I find it easier to get g12 gear than gear 9 - 10 - 11 gear because too many toons need the same stuff at the same time. I guess that is the only thing keeping me where I am now.

Stun guns, golden balls, carbs in that order.

Farming Tusken Shaman. You'd think with two shop locations it'd be easy.You're wrong.

Stun guns. Always stun guns.I've got 11 toons favourited, 8 of them are waiting purely on stun guns and the other 3 I just added to favourites so I could work on something while waiting for stun guns.

I do alright with Stun Guns, I'm usually pretty close to one if it turns out I need it.For me the bottleneck has become characters. I have a wide selection of characters to pick from, so I can make any team, but I'm missing some key ones--specifically Revan, which I will probably get on the third go-around (T3-M4 and Mission will be ready for sure, Bastila almost certainly, but Jolee's 4* and Zaalbar's only 3*), and Treya. I'm probably just not going to get Treya because I'm in a guild with friends and don't want to leave them over a video game.The trouble with having a raid character as the strongest character as opposed to a legendary/hero's journey is that the period of exclusivity for a legendary or hero's journey is longer, but only applies to a few people who spend a lot and are mostly competing with one another, so it's fine on the whole. But when it's a raid character like Treya, that exclusivity period is short--but the gap between people who have her and those who don't is insurmountable and grows all the time.So while when Luke first came out I dropped from 50th to 60th place, when Traya came out I dropped from 50th (I'd regained ground with better teams and mods) to being lucky to finish 100th, and usually 150th. Moreover, if a Traya is on defense in Grand Arena I know I just can't get through her.There are counters to Traya, for sure, but C3-P0 is legendary (and I've got him at 6*, working on gearing) and Revan is a journey.So other than that, I'd say I'm doing alright. It's just very frustrating to see one character I know I just can't hope to beat until at least one and maybe even two more Journeys pop up.

What is YOUR bottleneck to progression?

Stun Guns then Gold balls then Arakyd Raid Gear

There is other stuff like the purple ball that you need with carbs for health steal but they can be farmed via guild store without being expensive

It depends on the faction and where you are in the process:

- Rebels, many of my lower level ones need a bunch of Mk3 Holos. Hate wasting precious Guild or Shard Shop currency on them.
- BH eat Stun Cuffs like candy
- Empire need Mk5 Salt Shakers like they're on life support
- Everyone needs Stun Guns, which coincidentally need the equally frustrating Mk3 Carbanti...

Stun guns then carbs. Golden eyes are easy to get in crystal store and are very cheap.

Gear of course. Stun gun, stun cuff and carbanti.
