Help a returning player

Please ignore all the people telling you to “restart the game”, you are a level 77 with some decent characters and you can easily get back into things if you focus on Phoenix, and Empire or whatever characters YOU want.

I myself came back to this game back September 22nd 2019 at level 52 with even less high level characters then you. Not only did I continue but I am a level 77 now myself with a full Phoenix squad level 65 gear level 7 for all, 5 stars for all except Sabine who is a 4 star.

My highest level character was Ahsoka level 52 and 3 stars, I have a huge roaster of characters now that I want and in took me less then a month to get “back on track”.

I had not even accessed Fleets at the time and now I have 7 ships at 4 stars at level 70.

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PROGRESS AND TIME

It took me a total of 2 months to get where I am now, and I had even less to work with but I refused to shit can my progress like a chump and am better for it. I am also in a good guild and have been for 1 month and 2 weeks.

My returning post to show it’s not worth restarting but it is smart to continue.

Thanks @Revan110 !

Totally agree you don’t need to restart unless you want to compete in squad arena.

I’m still playing both accounts. It’s funny because the gameplay feels very different. In one number #1000 in squad arena is level 85 with zetas etc, in the other #1 is level 68 lol

Oh!

One other thing that no one has mentioned!

Maxxing abilities is an important part of the game. Zetas are incredibly important, as I'm sure you know. But many people don't always pay attention to Omega abilities. You're just starting to Omega your characters now. I'd just like to take a moment to tell you that even important characters can have abilities you don't want to spend Omegas on.

Just like zetas, there are better and worse Omega abilties, and even great characters can have abilities that aren't worth the Omega mats for that final push. Fives has an Omega that gives Taunt, for instance, but also has a zeta that sacrifices the toon to get huge bonuses if another character is killed first. The truth is that you probably don't want the taunt once you have the zeta, but you can't get them back once you spend Omegas to improve an ability, so if you later zeta Fives you'll still have an ability that conflicts with the zeta ability AND you'll have lost 5 Omegas on that ability you don't want.

Fives is also just an example; there are plenty of Omega abilities like this. For instance you never want to Omega the Geonosians' Hive Mind abilities unless you have Brood Alpha unlocked and geared up to a useful level. Even then, some of the Hive Mind bonuses (which are all Omega abilities) are either counterproductive (like Fives' taunt) or just not worth it.

With all the talk about zetas, you might think that Omegas are something you won't need to worry about long term, but you will. Don't use them without thinking carefully about which ones give you the best bang for your buck.

I can see that. So the only people I can Omega shortly are GMYoda, Ahsoka and Vader. Any worth it?

Yoda is worth everything you give him except Leadership, since more often than not the Leader will be Bastila, Revan, or Padme.

Vader is also all around good but I didn't do his Zetas.

Can't comment on Ahsoka as mine is only 5*/L50.

OP here, quick update of how I’m doing.

Still playing with both.

After a week in the new account I’ve gone from 10,000 to under 1,000 in arena. I won’t be able to break 1,000 in a while in my old account. After Phoenix on both I’m going to start doing different things like maybe Ewoks and bounty hunters in the old one while I do empire, revan in the other etc

Actually yes. GM Yoda has several good Omegas. Do not go for GMY's leadership. he doesn't have a ship so maxing everything just to boost Pilot GP (which boosts ship stats) isn't necessary. If you've invested a bit in his leadership, stop now.

As for Omegas, spend your first on MasterStroke, your 2nd on Yoda's basic ability (Ataru), and the third on Unstoppable Force.

Battle Meditation is worthy of a zeta, but not right away. There are other toons to zeta first since that zeta doesn't hit its stride until you've got Bastila.

Vader is also worth some Omegas, AND all your Omegas add to your ship's stats, so even if they Omegas weren't good, you'd want them just for the Pilot boost. But do Vader after you do GMY.

Order I'd do Vader is Basic then Culling Blade, then Force Crush.

Ahsoka give an Omega to her Basic only, and only after Vader and GMY (and, frankly, you might find that by the time you're ready to give her an Omega other toons have become new priorities). Ahsoka is a toon that eventually becomes great in the endgame, but you have to have a ton of gear, a ton of clones with a ton more gear, General Kenobi (from HAAT) and Jedi Knight Anakin before she comes into her own.

The only reason to develop Ahsoka now is for her ship, and even for that purpose I'd limit her to g10 max for the time being. Her day will come, though. Her day will come.

Awesome, thanks. I just maxed master stroke (sounds really cool) and Ataru. Unstoppable force omega is locked at 80 and I’m not there yet. I use Yoda as lead for my Jedis now so I have his leadership at lvl 6 but I’m grinding Bastila to take that role over.

Great to hear Ahsoka has a role later. I have her at 7* and G9.

Also thanks for the explanation re ships, I didn’t know how the toon and ship interacted.

There are two modes of thinking about bastille's leadership zeta.

It's definitely good, but as soon as you have Jedi Knight Revan, you won't use her leadership zeta again for a long time, possibly forever. So the question is, do you want to zeta something that you know is going to be obsolete very quickly?

Now, I zeta's her before Revan was released, so i didn't know it was essentially a temporary investment. And gosh darn did it pump up my Jedi. It makes killing Palp squads downright easy. Nowadays, though, I think you can get Revan very, very quickly after you get Bastila to 7* (you should be working on the other requirements simultaneously).

The Jedi Revan event can be done without Bastila's zeta, assuming Bast is about g10, Jolee is g9, and the other 3 toons are g7-g8. Not only is this achievable, but you're going to want Jolee and Bast at high gear levels anyway.

So, it's up to you. If you think you'll earn enough rewards to basically trade 20 zeta mats and 13 omegas for whatever extra GAC or Arena booty you think you'll get, go ahead and zeta her. Otherwise ... especially if your other Old Republic toons are close to 7* by the time you get Bastila there ... you hold off and use it to instantly zeta your new Revan and he'll be a better leader for you anyway.

In any case, Bastila's lead is much better than GMY's, so bringing it just short of zeta is absolutely mandatory, even if the zeta ends up (depending on your play style and how far along you are with other Old Republic toons) being optional.

...Speaking of zetas... have you decided which toon gets your first?
