Cost for Sion estimate -help needed

Sneekypete

Haven't really spent a whole lot on game sometimes some refreshes and what not. I've seen a lot of previous gem rolling for shards and it's been disastrous but was considering dropping some coin on Sion as I've built all my squads around required teams for raid, battles, wars, etc and never been able to play the team I've wanted (lol) sith. Well they seem viable now so was gonna drop $$$ anyone care to guess on that amount on average from previous experience.

300 bucks seems to be the consensus

I would like to know how many crystals you expect to be needed?

You’re looking at around 300 bucks to max him. Which is ridiculous for anyone to spend on a phone game unless you’re rich.

While ridiculously biased, those packs are still treated as RNG. 300 bucks is an estimate of how much you will need on average. Some people will get him after opening 20 packs, some 30, some 50. Some lucky lucky man/woman will get 330 shards on 1st pull.
So expect is 300 bucks aka 3 vaults.

Ugh geez I mean I get it, it's a game that progress carries over months or years and a typical game costs $60 and you play once and trade in so I get thay some money is not a bad thing or entertainment value but maybe like $40-$50 so it feels like and xpac not like buying a new piece of hardware.

Yea I honestly feel the same way. I would probably put more money into the game if it was cheaper to max characters. The ridiculous prices they charge make me want to not spend money. But there’s always those people like a whale in my guild that spends 600-700 bucks maxing trash characters like rose and Holdo instantly.

As the adage goes, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

Right. Meanwhile I've dropped probably more over 8 months of playing on gem refreshes lol but not at once.

95% of people on here can’t afford it...or are dumb with their money. The cost they want is ridiculous.

I agree, I think if some of these packs and crystals were cheaper more people would be inclined to spend some money on this game, I probably would

Doesn't matter the cost, whales will spend. Realistically, the game isn't designed to spend anymore. Marquee events comeback, you can save crystals from arena and fleet and the worst case scenario is 3-4 months before you can farm that toon for free in a shop or battle. Compared to in the beginning for toons like Sun Fac and Rex.

About the cost of an XBox One

Nikoms565

About the cost of 5-10 complete console games. At full retail price

Oh I know, I was just saying that if items were priced a bit more "fairly"?(Don't know if thats the right word to use) or there was more value to purchases like the random Crystal packs I would be slightly inclined to spend more

Sneekypete

I agree on pricing structure, they'd make more offering better deals then relying on a few whales here and there.

freshprince19888

I think that too, but obviously we're wrong. If offering better value was more profitable they'd do it today. They must believe they're making more by ripping off a few whales. You know they won't leave a single penny on the table, if they think they can make more profit by changing anything, they will.
