What difference it would make if you knew 3 weeks ago or now? You wouldn't have chimaera anyway. And ofc needing chimaera is possible, but don't post things based on possible rumors. Wait for confirmation to start complaining at least.
Thanks CG for the zeta materials, greatly appreciated! Also nice work on the game reworks, they make a positive difference. Just need to decrease the high number of waves on light side TB and we will be happy!
I didn’t see any mention or reasoning in the update notes as to why the guild shipment store has increased the cost of Character Shards by 50, now at a cost of 450. With more slots available for more Character Shards, giving players the opportunity to purchase more of them, this makes no sense to me, other than “helping” those who have raids on farm status drain their buildup of currency.
It seems especially odd to me because EVERY other shipment store still has Character Shards at a cost of 400, with the exception of GG in the Shard Shop and Hermit Yoda in the Guild Events Store. The only other difference would be Ship Blueprint shipments of four, but still at a cost of 400 (valuing individual blueprints higher than individual Character Shards).
Thoughts? Opinions? Am I just downright mistaken, and I’ve overlooked the mentioning of this?
EDIT: I do want to voice my gratitude for new content and QOL changes. I’m not trying to just nitpick the downsides and voice my entitlement. I’m FTP, just want to understand.

My guild mates seem to think it's due to fact that we'll be earning more guild tokens thanks to TB and TW. With an influx of tokens, it makes sense for them to raise the price a little to maintain the shard's value.
Maybe I would extend this to a general "thanks for all the great work". I'm not sure EA/CG gets enough thanks. This is by far my favorite and most engaging mobile game.
Is there still going to be the full pieces of gear in the guild store? The ones that were about 1200 tokens or so. If not, no big deal. Just wanna know so I don’t waste time waiting for them to pop up. Love the extra gear additions!
You get more tokens with the new territory wars twice a week, so the price not really increased because you get more then before
I disagree. It still requires participation, meaning time and effort to earn that guild currency. More opportunity for additional income still means more time invested. This doesn’t create / solve currency inflation, it just incentivizes players to be even more engaged to uphold the same ratio of redeeming the shipment items, or risk falling behind and not being able to get as many shipments as they used to. I see it resulting in having to pick and choose which items to get, especially with more available slots.
I’m looking at this similarly to a person that works at a job. Time and effort, get your currency reward. New content, pick up a second job. More time and effort, more reward. The gas station down the street doesn’t increase prices based on how many jobs you have. Respectively speaking.
EDIT: I also don’t believe my thread warranted a merge with the general update discussion. If anything, move it from general discussion to feedback, for specific discussion about the state of currency values.

I suppose the difference is... Like the 12 hour-24hour Phases rollback or the 7*-5* CHS/HRS requirement, if we had known the requirements before the event actually starts tomorrow, we would have had time to voice our complaints, they could have changed either the requirement or they could have done us a solid and brought the event back.
Chimera: required in DS TB phase4.
@CG_Kozispoon Is it a bug or is the time for guild store lose one of the free refreshes. It use to refresh with Fleet store..
I don’t know about losing a refresh, but it appears that the next one is scheduled for the New-Day refresh. For me, that’s a little less than 4 and a half hours from now. Usual fleet refresh appears to be on schedule, about an hour and a half from now.

The new fights are so full of kittens. Why do you guys over power everything? It’s ok for people who have maxed out toons or someone who spends a lot of money on this game but some of us don’t. I know I know.... it’s all about the money to you guys. But you take a lot of entertainment out for us who do not spend money on the game.
TB prelude is a little OP. Tier one took me 4 tries because the 80s I fought were waaaaay OP. Like Wiggs devastating opener one shot my heavy mod Ezra and Hera and then the focus was Sabine by Chirrut Thrawn and Zeta Barriss.
I believe he is referring to the new Territory Prelude battles. If you aren't experienced fighting those teams, I can see them being tough. I couldn't beat them with my standard 85 Imperial team. I had to make a character substitution and won on the first go. I do appreciate the extra gear from completing it.
Ok I have to thank you. There is always so much hate towards you guys. But the anniversary rewards were awesome! And the reworked guild store is awesome too!
THANK YOU!

Looking forward to trying guild war and ds battle!
Are you talking about TB prelude?
And we will be getting much more currency now with territory Wars and ds tb
THANK YOU!
