Returning after 1.5 years

Thank you guys I will play a bit but not expect much and I wont spend any money- I'll just go for characters I like

@JJAbramsIsMyDad
May have already been said but the next TBattle is going to Separatists and then GRepublic.
Your Arena team is GR
Revan and DR won’t be undisputed top forever and if I was you I’d gamble and go for GR and Separatists.
I’d work on 4 Areas:
1) Fleet (Linking to BHs and Separatists)

• The 3 Geos - ships and pilots (SunFac and Spy especially)
  
• Finish off Scimitar since you have a highly developed Maul. Not the best ship but it meshes well with the Geos.
  
• Slave 1 and Boba - Still a useful Reinforcement, plus you need all 4 BHs eventually.
  

2) BHs
Bounty Hunters are used in so many areas now - Events (Rebel Roundup, Galactic Bounty), Chewie Legendary, Their ships unlock Hans MFalc, needed in DSTB, useful in HSTR.
The leanest approach is to farm the 4 pilots and their ships:

• Boba(Slave 1), Bossk(HTooth), IG88(IG2000), Cad Bane(Xanadu Blood)
  
• 3 ships and Bossk are on hard nodes though - focus on Bossk, Hounds Tooth and Xanadu first.
  
• Bonus = Droideka, Poggle and Jango Fett are also going to be on these nodes!
  
• Dengar is also worth slowly farming from Guild Store as he will help you unlock Chewie.
  

3) Separatists

• Geonosians - For Fleet.
  
• B2 - Gear to G12
  
• Ventress - Gear to G12
  
• Nute = easy farm and reworked.
  
• Droideka from Xanadu Blood node
  
• GG - slow farm
  
• Your separatists unlock Legendary Padme - this is a hard event, although nowhere NEAR as hard as the forum whine threads. I got 6* Padme with a G12++ Ventress supported by trash. You will want 7* though.
  
• The 3 MVPs first time round were GG, Ventress and B2.
  
• The leanest team that completed it = Poggle(l), Ventress, B2, Geo Spy and SunFac (all G12)
  
• With Nute and Dooku reworks and Droideka on Xanadu’s node it should be easier next time. Nute would be a better choice than Poggle!
  

4) GRepublic

• The reworked Trio - GK, Ahsoka and JKA - they will need Zetas (Ahsoka first)
  
• GMY and zeta Barriss
  
• Padme

I last played when Jedi Training Rey came out. I used to be top 50 in arena. My arena team is the gk, cls, bariss, thrawn team (g12 ). Do I have to restart with a new account? Is it worth going for the revans or should I just wait for a new meta? Shouls I change my arena team to palp or something else even though those characters are only t10? Also my account: https://swgoh.gg/p/863479468/characters/

i would honestly stay away and continue being a player that quit. If you spent before on this game at all for a meta... times that by like 5. If you spent like $500.... get ready to spend $2,500.

What nonsense - I started 18 months ago (2.6m GP. Arena Top 20 daily, Fleet Top 3 daily). I’ve spent £40 to £50 max over 18 months. If you plan well, are in a good fully active guild and accept getting Legendary characters 2nd time round (never panic) then you don’t need to spend like this!

This is a good plan. Play casually, have a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Wait , did you quit and come back after a long stretch?

That’s not the point — there’s zero reason to spend £100s catching up!

• Join a solid guild that’s fully active.
  
• Sort out Fleet — easier to catch up = daily crystals
  
• Skip some of the current meta
  
• Close your wallet
  

Sorry one more question for you guys: Is the darth revan event supposed to be coming soon? Less than a month away?

https://swgohevents.com/event/darth-revan

Last ran 60 days ago. 90 days is a decent guess so could be around a month from now, but it's just speculation until it actually hits.

Yes, from a catching up with the game standpoint.

However, if you wish to keep up with competition, definitely go the starting over route.

This makes no sense. They will spend the next 2 months trying to get to level 85. Aside from getting to level 85 you would have to grind out Phoenix to get Thrawn, grind out all the characters needed for CLS, jedi for GMY all of which you already have done. How is that better?

If you come in now as is start grinding kotor characters for JKR with Thrawn you will already be arena relevant and sith raid relevant.

Just my two cents though.

It’s better if they want to compete because the people in their shard from 1.5 years ago are way ahead of them. If they created a new account, they would be at a level playing field with everyone else.

Except the people who whaled out in the new shard. Defeating the purpose...

That’s an uncertain factor, and no matter how many people “whale out” in the new shard, the OP is guaranteed to be behind a significant amount of people in their current one. It’s take a risk to compete or don’t at all at this point.

Well, as a guy that has a second account. I highly advise against it still. Unlocking the characters needed to unlock journey/legendary characters is boring! He already has some of them. All he needs to do is farm lightside kotor to be relevant in squad arena. So much easier than starting over and still having to farm kotor to be relevant in squad arena. Plus old shards have a lot of players that no longer play.

True, but because they took a break, they theoretically will never catch up to everyone else in GP. Just a thought.
