Re: BAM LSB worth it if I can't afford the zetas?

When the Starkiller bundle was available, it never came up for me, which i assumed was because i already had Starkiller unlocked. Like others here, i have BAM, but scraped by with low gear reqs and would love to have R5 Mando, Greef, and Cara (Kuill and IG11 wouldnt be bad either)
I think the reason the starkiller pack wasn't available to people with starkiller is because it would give you nothing of value (since the pack gave you all the characters that you already had at or below the relic levels you already had them at). I was able to buy the Raddus pack last time even though I already had raddus and all the pilots at 7*. I bought it because it brought several characters to R5 for me that I really wanted to have at R5. I'm expecting the same to be true of this pack. I have BAM and Mando at R5 already, but the other characters are all G12 or below.

You just neutered a CLS squad and a Jedi squad… just to make Starkiller’s team not much better. There’s a reason why most people choose Visas and either Juhani/Barriss/Old Ben.
Re: BAM LSB worth it if I can't afford the zetas?
If you're ok with spending some money on the game, LSB should be what you buy. Even if you only get one relic 5, that's probably better than anything else you could spend that money on in the game.
I have BAM already, and all the prerequisites at GL12. The temptation is there, but I think I'll resist since they aren't unlocking anything new. If it were sold at $10 I'd probably bite.

And yes please share your (or any) vid beating GL Leia with SEE in 3v3. Would love to see this lol. OP is right and the stats back it up. Like I mentioned before, you can watch multiple good content creators struggle and get wrecked by her too, with multiple GLs. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. But the stats don’t lie.
First off, learn how to use quotes.
Second, you responded to a specific person and took their words out of context. Go back and actually read what he wrote, instead of taking his words in a 5v5 context and trying to make a 3v3 strawman out of it.
Third, I didn’t say SEE beats Leia in 3v3 straight up, I said a two-shot. Not surprised, you seem to have difficulty with reading comprehension.
First off, apparently YOU need to improve your reading comprehension because in OPs post (the original context) there is no mention of 5v5 or 3v3. “Git gud” at reading, and spelling.
Second, you are doing the straw man and taking the argument out of context 5v5, 3v3, etc. OP’s point, and mine, is she is OP. For the umpteenth time, look at the STATS. Or watch any number of vids available in a 3 second google search of GL Leia demolishing other GLs.
Third, again, let’s see your vid of SEE beating GL Leia in 3v3, even with a two shot, or any vid of this. I’m sure the community would love to see it. So prove it or see yourself out.
Fail again. Why would you respond to ItsNotMe instead of OP if your intention is to argue without 5v5 or 3v3 context? ItsNotMe’s post specifically calls out 5v5 in his example. And since you don’t know how to use quotes, I’m not giving you any benefit of the doubt.
I didn’t respond to OP, I responded to your false strawman taking ItsNotMe’s response out of context. I don’t care that you suck vs Leia at the end of the day; stay mad and stay bad.
Plenty of examples in GAC insight. Not saying it’s easy by any means, but there are non-SLK methods out there. I’m not sharing other people’s vids without their consent, and I plan to use SLK so no reason for me to attempt the SEE two-shot.
Edited with better examples:
New character suggestion
While I enjoy the new characters, most are very obscure, bit characters. I would really love, and honestly expected 8 years ago, to see X-wing Luke and Red 5. He could have his Saber and blaster, like GL Rey, and make a heck of a rebel pilot 3v3 squad. Red 5 would also be a great fleet addition, as well as set up a Death Star trench run special event. Thank you for your consideration
Re: Nerf GL Leia and buff LV
New GL are typically OP at some point. For now you need to 2 shot her in 3's. When the DC goes away it will be much more manageable.
Edit: And if you want a one shot, you need to mirror.
Your Edit is patently false, in both 3v3 and 5v5. My opponent yesterday set his Leia on defense, so used something else to one shot mine. And in 5v5 I never used a mirror and was able to one shot all but once.

Re: 200 Galactic War Tokens
you could just partially complete the next galactic war to get to 1200 instead of simming it
Re: Finally a new K1 Leader
No, it is the transfer from the old ranking to the new. As he did not play gac for a long time, his league stayed the same but his rating was not adjusted. As the average rating has gone down over time, he had a rating much higer then the current top k1. and then he can only get promoted to new league at end of event, so took him three cycles to reach kyber. now his long road down starts. This is not a problem of matchmaking or squish, but the fact that his skill rating was never adjusted to the current environment. No fault of the player at all.

Re: Zetas Crunch
Yeah, you're right it's a "choice", except it's not really much of a choice at all. The gate for higher level content is not generally zetas, it's character stars and gear/relic level. To fill platoons, unlock GLs, etc. Some zetas could be considered "soft" requirements because they're necessary to get a team to function, but by and large, they're not hard requirements.
That means, for anyone who wants to progress and unlock advanced content in this game, it's not much of a choice. You have to farm new characters, you have to gear them up. Period. So that also means a certain portion of your resources have to be dedicated to those pursuits.
In addition, the math you referenced assumes that you're able to acquire every possible PvE source of zetas (minus the raid zetas, thankfully, I hope no one wastes raid mk3 on zetas). Obviously, early to mid game players don't have all the ABs and such unlocked, so the true number for those who are not at the top is lower than what was presented, plus we also need to dedicate more resources to chasing new releases while working up critical older teams.
Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand or you so insistent there's isn't an issue for some people, but you're clearly an end game player who doesn't have the issue. Good for you! Hope the air is nice up there. But it's a bit stifling down where many of us are at.

I mean, my kneejerk reaction to this is that "easily" is quite an overstatement. Let's explore.
For instance: I'm in Kyber 2 and take 1st every day in fleet arena, so my daily crystal payout is 640. But I spend anywhere from 450-600+ crystals a day in farming, between signal data, characters, conquest, so really I'm only gaining on average 5700 crystals per month from this (assuming 450 spent, 30 days), or less. Of course this doesn't include crystals from wins/losses, and weekly/season payouts, but still, the vast majority of players are earning way, way less than this.
So let's take last seasons, I went 5-4, placing first range in week 1, last in week 2, and in the 2-4 range in week 3. I fluctuated between K2 and K3 but let's use K2 numbers for simplicity:
5 wins = 4125 crystals
4 losses = 800 cyrstals
Weekly round rewards = 1350 crystals
Season payout = 2050 crystals
For a sum of another 8325 crystals per month, and a grand total of approximately 14,025 crystals over my base daily farming spend.
I also have to spend those crystals on other things, like R8/9 mats, because my guild isn't large enough to earn them in TW yet.
Yeah, I could choose to buy those daily deals instead, but it would mean sacrificing a LOT of other things, for packs that often ARE NOT a very good deal at all.
Again, not to forget that most players aren't anywhere near these crystal income numbers.
I think that's not a very good source of zetas except for maybe very end game players who already have everything else and just have crystals to burn, so I reject this premise. And if you are one of those players, you're probably not that in need of zetas in the first place, as has already been laid out in this thread.I think the biggest point against this is they also frequently put zeta in your daily deals Jawa packs. I’ve seen 7 mats in the 3200 pack quite a bit. You could easily grind another 20 mats out of there each month if you made it a priority.
If you are spending your crystals elsewhere though that’s a choice. You are considering other items more crunched than the zeta and accelerating those instead. The zeta mats in the daily deals get as cheap as 450 crystals per mat and you get more goodies on top of it. At 450 per to get the 20 a month I mentioned is 300 crystals a day. That’s totally doable and gets you 12 extra. 12 is quite a few. That’s basically a whole GL and everybody else in their squad. Not to mention we already established you will get about 15 more zeta each year than the zetas on all the new toons so now you can burn through the back log at nearly 30 per year. It’s hard to call that a crunch.
