Old player back after 2 years

I am back after two years, and I do not know how much has changed. In am in a server when games was launch initially. Should I restart or invest in the existing account. I am level 85 and holding 500 rank in arena when I tried re-playimg after so many years. I am free to play but knew which players to painfully farm and build good overall meta for ftp player. With so much content can someone please point me to endgame tips for f2p farming and good arena player combo, one for this veteran please

  • What characters do you have right now? Have you gotten CLS/ Han/ Obi wan? If you've got a quality roster right now and are FTP you might want to keep it. But if your roster was kinda bleh - well - it's easier to start over

    So better to start anew , right?


    Yes, though this is more because of mods than anything else. You can always catch up on teams, but your arena shardmates will have such a colossal advantage on mods that it'll be difficult or impossible to ever do well there.

    Just out of curiosity - why would you create a new account? Why not continue with what you have?


    it's very difficult for people that take a lot of time off to catch up to their arena shards. Say they were in 1st even, from before, well now instead of that CLS or even jkr team that was so great everyone else has padme gas drev gg etc, so it will be much harder to climb all the way back. plus as Jarvind said those on the same shards will have been acquiring and slicing mods the whole time, making it that much more difficult. if crystals and metas don't intrest someone as much they might as well keep going on the old account
  • Seeing how you're rank 500 after 2 years and haven't dropped I'd say that's how far you arena shard goes, you probally cant drop any lower then that due to either players leaving or not strong enough to take your squad. If you restart keep this account, you could always try catching up on this one while seeing what a new one can do. I'm not sure if you know the acronyms for toons so I'll avoid using them

    What is your arena team and what does your roster look like? If you dont have Phoenix farm them. They get you 2 legendary toons Thrawn and Palpatine plus 2 jedis for Grand master yoda event. Separatists arent a bad route either and they'll net you padme legendary. The journey guide tab will tell you what toons are needed for each event. You may be really close to getting commander luke skywalker depending on your current roster. Darth reven and Jedi revan are still top teams for GAC, raids and TW but farming their requirements can be long. You need the requirements for darth revan and jedi revan plus them inorder to get Malak. The current meta is general ani skywalker and he 2 legendary toons (padme and C3p0) plus some long farming toons so he isnt a good choice right now for you if your ftp but his time may change here soon with the legends coming.

    Fleet arena since been upgraded, you can get crystals from top 50 so if that looks viable to do go for it. However there has since been 4 capital ships released maybe 5 if you wearnt here for thrawn. Negotiator with kenobi, malevonce with grievous both require GET2 currency. Raddus with holdo, finalizer with hux and chimera with thrawn. So far negotiator is taking the cake for top fleet but Raddus and Finalizer dont have a full First order or resistance ship line up yet. If/when more get released they could become meta

    Do not restart, this will bring you 0 positive effect, but both arena with great possibility will be far more crowded with active player and buyers of Hypercash bundle.
    The most cheap meta squad now - Padme, JKA, GK, GMYoda, Ahsoka Tano. If you 7 Reliced them you can get to the top 5. Also join a guild and hoard GET MK2 currency to buy Negotiator. Even 5 star he will help you to get to the top of fleet arena. Recommended lineup - Hounds Tooth, Eta-2, Ahsoka Tano JS, and reinforcement Rex, Umbar, Plo

    Because some people only want to be first in arena, and don't care about other game modes, or collecting toons.

    Coming back after a long hiatus? Here's a quick refresher on where the game is at today:

    1. Mace Windu rework made him MUCH better than he was before.

    There's a mace windu rework!!! Where?

    I stopped reading there.
  • I recently restarted after a long break. Phoenix squad is old hat now. I made an empire troopers squad that did all the heavy lifting whilst I climbed to level 85. They are easy farms. Easily finished galactic war every day and had Magmatrooper at 7* in weeks. They also got me R2D2. When the ewok event comes up they can get you ewok shards. Now collecting the other rebels needed for Commander Luke, who got me Palpatine 5* last week.

    Wish I'd gone Separatists now but they'll be my next farm after the rebels. If you are focussed with your resources it's fun as ftp.

    Invest in ships, dark side especially.
