Why Geo's for Galactic Chase?

It’s should obviously be bad batch

My assumption is that all monthly chases in the future will be accelerated toons

More galactic chases like this to help lower roster people out is certainly a good move. I was just curious why of all squads that Geo's were the ones picked.

Though I guess it could help some people get ready for the Wat mission this DS Geo coming up and maybe that's why they picked the geos.

Either way, I do agree more shard shop currency is fantastic for those of us who do not need the geo shards.

Something my guildmates were talking about -
Maybe they did Geos as an incentive for more people to upgrade their Malevolence fleet, courtesy of the next Galactic Chase. This saturates fleet arena shards with meta fleets, which is a big incentive for people to shoot for the new Executor.
Just a thought my guild had that I thought was interesting. But to be perfectly honest, it's probably just a move to help lower level players get some good teams.

Good thought but it was decided to be Geos before the results of the poll making Malevolence the next chase focus so that wasn't the reasoning. So either something is coming up that will require Geos or Seps soon or it just ended up being them randomly chosen

Let's see a good rework to get them back into the spotlight. Some zetas on the rest of the squad outside Alpha

Because the Geo shards don't impact the longer-term players that spend money on the game so it won't impact their income.

Why NOT Geonosians?

The better question is, why are they not dropping in 2's? They are accelerated characters after all.

I think because it’s not a normal farm and doesn’t cost currency. Since this is flat out bonus on top of your normal farm.

Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE double shards! But I think that may be the reasoning.

the confirmed the geo galactic chase about 3 days before the malevolence and that was a vote

I don't think this or other upcoming Galactic Chases will necessarily be directly tied to upcoming content (not to say it won't ever be, just saying in general). As many of you have pointed out, it helps newer rosters and elder players get more shards to convert.

So this is acutally something to slightly reduce gear crunch? Why don't you promote it then, that there is a change that is to player's benefit? People tend to only see the bad stuff, you know?
