So called "free to play" character HARD node please change this !
The short version is even with a team strong enough to actually 3 star these battles for baze or shorrtrooper, the time to get them unlocked and even to a decent 5 or 6 star rating is beyond stupid and 3 "chances" at a single shard per day is so pointless.
Instead they dangle them on a string giving us no real way to farm them with any of our other resources in the game.
That being said if you made it this far and would like to see a more in depth break down of why i think this way and what can be done about it...then please stick around and join the discussion.
Placed on so called free to play hard node battles.. now lets skip the part where i explain just how much gear/credits/character shards you will require to even be strong enough to unlock this never mind 3 star it.
CANTINA STORE: sure there are some interesting toons there but outside of Qui gon/bobafett/ashoka and fives.. not really anyone that worth investing in.
SHIPS AND GUILD STORE: amazingly theae are very effective for previous pay to play toons such as darth maul who i can at least farm and use thanks to this if i focus on him properly.
I wont mention putting them in galactic war or the squad arena store as i can already see people defending the "premium" status of theae toons.
To conclude.. i would love them to atop wasting our time with a pointless extremely high level hard node and just keep these characters chromium or make them somewhat realistic to farn.
Hopefully there are some fellow players who love this game and play it every day like i do that feel the same way !

Would i like to get them faster? sure, but there're over 100 toons, some should be harder to get than others, no? and at least now i can slowly get my Baze and DN up a star level or two. Would i prefer to not have that option at all? absolutely not. that would be quite a bit worse....
I disagree cantina store's missing good toons. Bistan can be fun in a rebel team, JScavenger is practically required for Crit Dmg mod challenge. Old Daka is great on a control team. FOO is also basically required for an Offense team (which in the past i would have said is totally useless, but now with possible DN lead... may now be more useful), and Poe for speed mod challenge and generally a different type of tank.... Sure there're def some useless toons in there, but i'd say a good deal of them have SOME use. they're just not meta changing. Hey again with this many toons, it's hard to expect that every toon will be groundbreaking. They just serve different purposes.
And to further my point my rebels with wiggs lando etc are all gear 10 with decent mods and i cant beat hard node 9b even with help from barris or another rebel or qui gon with ayyla etc
Its just simply irritating i feel and inonow a few of my guild mates feel the same way..whats the point in having a character that could potentially take more than a year to farm? And they could be irrelevant by that point btw.
What is your arena rank?
I'm f2p aswell in case you were wondering.
Toon releases without an unlock is a thing of the past though, these days everyone gets them unlocked.
My proposed solution about this extreme bottleneck would be to place hard node only toons to at least 2-3 nodes. Current method is way too frugal.
I have 0 hopes of getting baze to 7 stars remotely soon with a single hard node. But then again I refuse to spend shipment crystals on him. he works ok as a 4 star.
Maybe it's just 'cause my memory is long. I wish i had rex or sun fac a whole year ago. not having access to them at all was worse than at least being able to crawl towards them. But on the other hand, for a toon with such low HP like Rex, anything below a 7 star is not arena worthy
well, if you would have bought them from chromiums, refreshing the node + buying them from shipments is probably alot cheaper and still alot faster than simply farming the node for 1 year.
I just don't understand what makes people angry. Just because they said they'd become "farmable"? expectations changed and all of a sudden it's all bad, but if they didn't call em farmable it would have ben A okay?
So glad you can farm them from shipments with earned crystals! Chromium exclusive would mean very expensive to 7 star. Horrible idea!
Chromium is such a waste of money. The chances of landing DN is comically low. That revolver is reserved for the whales rolling in cash. It's ridiculously random. haven't bought a chromium since Feb of 2016 back when I had a light roster and just needed any characters.
edit; sorry to just pick out that part of your post. the rest of your post was fine ;x
I have 4* baze, 35/65. When last year was put in the shard shop, I put all my resources to get him ASAP. We had an opportunity to get him.
Is a really useful toon even at 3/4*, and I think is just fair for those who spent a lot of money to get exclusive toons, that they still retain part of their value. That makes whales keep spending, and that is a part of why this games still roll (yes, just a part, medium and low spenders and F2P are also necessary in the model).
So, indeed, is still a highly exclusive toon. Prove of that is that is still priced as that in the shipment shop (320crystals per 4 shards).
No character should have only one hard node battle. Especially in the stage 9 battles. A 6 month farm is a good enough achievement barrier for him. That's commitment.
You are obviously missing the point of the post i suggest you read it again and take heed of the point of what the message is trying to portray.
