Bastila working as intended?
First off, I’m going to try and keep this as constructive as possible. I am in a November 2017 shard so what I’m going to say may not apply to old shards. We just got our first Traya with another half dozen or so expected this week. The player in the screenshot below reached 5th place in the EST payout today. We are a highly competitive shard, mostly all on discord, running either nightmare or JTR until recently.
5th place for this team (it shows 20 because I didn’t immediately take a screenshot and he’s dropped since then) is absolutely ridiculous. Let me state that I have no problem with meta shifts. What I have an issue with is a squad with far less gear, far less stars, and FAR worse mods getting that high. It completely negates the hard work, time, and in some cases money money people spend. Now I don’t blame the player at all. Good on him for doing that well. He’s just playing with the tools CG gave him. Also, I would have absolutely no issue if his team was all 7 stars, or close, g12, or close, and with equivalent mods to other top 10 teams, or close. The fact remains though he has a 4 star character, a 5 star character, a g10 character and 4 g11 characters. His average speed from mods is in the 70s to 80s. He’s beating teams that are all 7 star, all g12 with g12 and even g12+ pieces, and average speeds in the 100s to 110s, sometimes higher.
I’m sorry but that should not happen. Not only is it extremely frustrating for the people that have worked tremendously hard to get to top 10, but it’s also bad for the game itself. CG has to make money for the game to survive. Why spend money when you can do just fine with a team that isn’t well geared, isn’t starred up, and is using subpar mods?
Let me address some of the comments that are sure to be posted:
1. Once people start getting Traya this team won’t be able to beat it. That’s fine for old shards but in newer shards getting in a hsr guild is not exactly easy. This guy for example has 860k gp. I have 1.9 million, will have Traya this week, and am In The top 5-10 gp wise for comparison. Only two guilds in our shard are farming Traya that I’m aware of, meaning Traya is not going to hit our shard in bulk for many MONTHS.
2. You’re just upset because you’re getting beat. Yes and no. I’m not mad at the player. Good for him. I actually commend him for making the most with what he has. I’m upset because I feel like all the time, money, and effort has been wasted.
3. Metas shift. Well ya, and like I said I’d be totally fine if Bastila Jedi were the new meta if they required the gear, mods, and stars that all the previous metas required. Nightmare and Jtr would not be top 10 in the previous metas with 70 speed mods and g10 characters.
So how do you fix it? Really the only issue is the tenacity with the zeta. It negates almost everything other squads are built around. The tenacity needs to be lowered or changed to something else.
