What's your plan B during Rey's heroes journey
Im not starting a complaint thread, but was just curious what people are focusing on if they know they wont be able to do Rey's journey. When I missed CLS I farmed up Resistance which was amazing for GW (before the nerf), got me at least 1.6 million in haat, was my go to for TB, and also helped me finally break the top 100 in arena (until this past week).
So I wanted to pick some of your brains for ideas on how do be most productive during this event. I was thinking of focusing on geo spy+soldier and asajj. Ive heard good strategies and synergies for them with haat squads and TW (also DS TB). Im tired of cantina farming so might try to build up my mods again, ive got the required toons for CLS so waiting for his second coming. ..

I had literally just finished FO team when the vet craze hit, so I immediately jumped over. Han's RNG was horrible, Chew's so-so. I had planned on farming mods for toon who were lacking. I'm also trying to finish up Wedge and Acolyte.
Dude ... that's actually an awesome team! A very slow team, but can do MASSIVE damage in HAAT. I'll have it eventually, but it's a slow burn.
And there's nothing wrong about that?
IMO, no. this game is a farm. we grind. the grind is life. People can pay and they get more, as is life. but in the end time = money, its your choice what you spend, time or money.
Ready now for Thrawn, R2 return and building pilots. Can’t have it all. It’s just a phone app.
It's a pain I had FO all this time... that FOST farm.... have pumped resources into Resistance... that I got BB8 the first time... that I leveled, geared, zeta'd BB8 and was in a VERY reasonable position to get whatever Rey event was coming - and we got hit with the Vets. It's so obviously a cash grab that, even though I'm probably in a better position with vets then some others, I STILL won't spend money on it. It's really disappointing. I don't even mind spending some $$ on the game - but this one isn't even trying to meet us anywhere near half way.
This is the surefire way to do it. Then you won't forget to farm them for next time.
Pretty much exactly there with you! Working on Nihilus' 7th star and empire for R2! Really hope they do his event again before CLS!
Not sure how your Pheonix looks, I had to gear up Ezra to G10 (worth it anyway because he is a great asset to any rebel or Jedi team) and Kanan to G9 to get 7* Thrawn. All the rest were at G8 and all had decent mods with only average speed. I heard you can do the event with everyone at G8 if you have perfect speed (200+) on each character. I had maybe 140-160 on each.
Whatever you have to do, Thrawn is worth it.
You can't stay relevant as a f2p player anymore, you can't even stay relevant as a minor spender with the way CLS has broken most everything, the way Chaze broke things before that.
People say "well get the meta characters for yourself by farming". Fine, but that's not a game I'm interested in playing. This isn't farmville. And there should be more than one way to play and be successful instead of "get CLS or your're hosed" "get Rey or you're hosed" "get Chaze or you're hosed" etc etc.
I want to play the game the way I want. I don't want to farm down EA's handful of predetermined pathways.
And honestly, it gets old that every new character released makes the ones I've spent so much time developing ever more obsolete. (Nothing like seeing a bunch of Ewoks shred a team of Sith Lords for realism, right?)
There's no way to meaningfully advance without spending huge, and they've really taken the fun out of the game with competitive balance issues making only a few configurations viable in arena, some raid phases, etc.
The fun has been disappearing for some time.
