Ship energy does not contribute to the daily 600 Raid Tickets. We would have needed to boost the total earnable tickets to 900 and adjust the raid costs appropriately if we included Ship Energy and we felt this would have been a much worse experience for everyone. All the text in game should have been updated to explain Raid Tickets are only earned from Energy and Cantina Energy.
KNOWN ISSUES:
UPDATE: We have found a few more issues with Deathmark and Traya. The team is working late to get a fix launched tomorrow
Let's hope not, they should die like the galaxy failures they turned out to be.
Yes and no. You can still earn a fully crafted piece of your squad is good enough. The new stuff however come in pieces. Let's be honest though, if you can already complete SHR you dont really need the other pieces except for PVP
Not poking the bear, but why? I agree with you. But they are both pathetic and GMY is far more iconic than GG.
Because Yoda has (or has had) uses in many places while GG is literally one of the worst characters in the game
This is even worse though, because we now have more gear to get while at the same time the old gear just got more rare. It’s supposed to be the opposite. As we progress deeper and deeper into the game the old end game content should become easier to get. This is not only moving the carrot forward but throwing a banana peel on the path where the old carrot was.
Many places is a stretch, but he is definitely better than GG. Hang in there I feel like July is the month of GG and his little band of sepps
edited my comment to say "or has had" while you were writing your's btw
They already confirmed that GG will be getting a rework sometime in 2018. So just be patient, I would much rather see a Jedi rework than a separatist one. Also I feel that GMY is more important saying that he is a legendary character and not one you can get from fleet.
yeah...they've been saying he's getting a rework for literally 2 years already
Ahh thank you very much
My understanding is that it will be the "store" for currency earned from the ships PVE table. So much like squad arena, galactic war, cantina all have their shipments the new table will also have this.
Its shipments. The main store, not a new one.
I would think that, but they talk about 2 new slots... Not a new store
Why the name then? Pve shipments can be GW, cantina... But they always talk about "shipment" store as "shipments", never as "pve shipments"....
