How is everyone preparing for g12/TB?

Crying in a corner at my lack of Raid gear as it is

Same as I've always been. I always keep all my toons at minimum lvl 40 and gear IV which is more then alot of my guild mates. Lol Since they haven't haven't given us soecifics I'll gonna keep building raid teams, my sith team, and soon I'll gonna put some work into my Phoenix squad for next time Thrawn comes around.

sith? sith are dead lol.

Drinking beer, hanging out at the beach and logging in 20 mins a day doing the minimal possible hoping TB is worth continuing to do the same mundane tasks for 3 months when HAAT became a farming task.

Arena, ships, GW, both raids have been to the point there's no thought required to get maximum rewards for quite a while. I wish I could script it, but again I'm hoping TB is fun whenever it gets released.

So is Hoth Soldier required to be 7*? I thought I saw like a 4* requirement...

No. None of this is official. Everyone saying you need this or that or the other thing is guessing at best. These guesses are predicated on, again at best, a leaked beta screenshot that was removed for violation of their NDA. Things change between beta and release all the time.

While it may not be official (my understanding is that on a recent podcast, one of the devs confirmed the need for Veers and Snow), what is official is that certain missions will require specific characters. What is also official is that the battle will be on Hoth. So the idea that the Hoth related characters -- HR Scout, HR Soldier, Veers, Snowtrooper -- will be needed is more than just a random guess, but a well-grounded, educated guess (ignoring the leaked beta screenshot).

People can ignore the limited information and most logical speculation derived therefrom, and then come whining to the forums when they don't have the appropriate character(s) who are hard farms (I'm looking at Veers and Soldier) that they weren't told months ago, or they can operate under the reasonable assumptions that these characters will be needed, and go ahead and farm.

To answer the OP -- I'm hard-node farming Hoth Rebel Soldier, and Veers (1 node), and collecting HR Scout from the cantina store. I'm gathering other shards for characters I don't have maxed out, and stockpiling gear, ability mats, and credits, so I can work on whatever I need to once TB hits. For gear 12, over the last 8 months whenever I've put someone on my arena team they've been g11, and I've generally given whatever post-g11 pieces I can other than those requiring carbantis (since those are in such high demand). When g12 is available, I'll equip those pieces as needed to complete people up, with my arena team remaining the focus.

Praying. Just praying.

Nothing, I feel I'm ready
Now launch the dang TB!

Trying to get my arena team max geared with all the available pieces at G11. Of course, I'm sure my first few TB drops will be challenge gear I have thousands of, so there's that ;-)

Already had 7* G10 HRScout. HRSol remains 4*. Veers, I guess I should finish him off really. 7* Snowtrooper is G9 from when I used him for the Ewok assault battle thing.

Opened a separate bank account and invested in proper stocks that will yield enough return for me to afford it.
