With all the new toons, Omegas need to be addressed

I’ve been playing since 2 months after launch. Most of my roster is 7 Stars minus new toons and stuff like Mob Enforcer/CUP. And everyone is lvl 85.

My GP is over 3.6m and I agree the omega crunch is real. I’m sure for newer players its not an issue. But if anyone is doing zetas on a regular basis you’re deciding on whether or not to use your omegas on idk say the BH payouts vs using a zeta on someone for TB, TW, or any of the assault battles.

Yes resource management is a big part of this game and maybe newer players have much better drop rates but I could stop doing zetas for months and still not have enough omegas.

Everyone has different experiences but it would be nice to have them drop more frequently where they are supposed to drop that’s all.

Just my 2 cents as someone that’s been playing this game for a long time.

Exactly, I'm 3.6 GP, been playing since launch as well, and there is no way to have enough omegas with the fast pace of new characters and the need for zetas, I have gear 10 to gear 12 toons that don't have omega abilities because there is always another need. When you invest in the game, you can't keep up with the omega need at the high end. The ship store should have them for 1k, there should make the omega/purple resource pack permanent that they released in May, or have some other way to acquire them that is reasonable. Better drops and something that is farmable like ship omegas.

Balancing Nest and more vitally Traya should be priority considering hkw broken and badly unbalanced this game currently is.

But let’s see the devs roll out a useles c3po or jarjar next. Experience tells me to expect it or similar.

Nest is super easy to beat. Doesn't even matter who you're using. You just have to understand her kit.

Not when you come up against high-speed teams with two tanks and/or traya/vader teams.

Nest i agree is less of an issue, but an issue nontheless.

That just means it’s a well designed toon

I find the juxtaposition of this thread to all the “4 omegas are not worth the effort” mythic threads immensely amusing.

The Omega crunch is a big problem for me. I feel like I have to save almost all Omegas I earn for zetas or I won't have enough Omegas when I get enough zeta materials to upgrade someone.

Anyhow, this is about Omegas :) Please make more available.

Agreed, but they have--They run more Omega Events than ever, and nearly every weekend has an event where you can get 4 Omegas (across two runs) if you complete it all.

Fleet store. They rotate with purples.

Why would I spend 1500 on a omega when a zeta is 2000?

Showing your number of omegas and zetas just shows how you've chosen to spend them.

There is ways to obtain the gear, there are the same mechanics involved with obtaining omegas with a huge increase to the need for Omegas at the high end level.

There are ways to obtain omegas without Omega events as well. But you don't need 150 omegas to take your characters from Gear 8 to gear 9 like you do with Carbantis and Stun Guns. You might need 21 omegas to fully upgrade a characters abilities. Do your cantina missions, finish your daily events and do your challenges in Wednesday, Saturday and Sundays.

I’ve only gotten one omega from cantina in two months of farming the veterans, it’s an incredibly low drop rate. Your best chance at omegas are daily challenges, events, and daily activities. Unless you buy them.

I need the gear more than I need more omegas.

In general, at lower levels gear is the bottleneck, it quickly becomes omegas. Especially once you start getting zetas from fleet store.

This is a generalization. It's all about how you spend your resources. I'm not lower level and I manage both gear and omegas.

I'll have to start paying attention to specific numbers, but now that I've finished everything I need from the fleet store and am solely focusing on zetas there I think I might actually be getting zetas faster than omegas now... At best they are near equal.

I'm not sure the word "need" is being appropriately used here.....

I assume you are implying I could use fleet store currency on omegas, but 1500 per omega is absurd. Especially considering zetas are only 500 more and are so much more important. No way I would waste fleet currency at that price.
