More Gear events to keep up with additional toons
CG has added marquee events at an alarming rate, yet have not added the gear to match.
We need to voice our opinions so that there can be some "balance in the force"
Please fix the issue of gear. Its impossible to keep up with the gear needed for all the toons added. Btw I'm p2p and I still cant keep up.
Once again, BALANCE. The force is all about balance. How can CG have a star wars games and not practice the core principle of BALANCE.
Just a thought.

Re-work the daily challenges and improve the gear rewarded (pretty sure we all have 5k+ of some pieces of gear). Additionally, give us stun gun/cuff heists in the same fashion that we have credit/training droid heists!
(Yes it's obvious nothing will be done about the gear grind issue but it's still fun to suggest thing that would be well received by the player base.)
These extra tiers with Jango event sounds nice. Maybe they should always do that.
Smuggler Tag adds a bunch of new options.
Give us the gear heist we have been asking for forever.
more is always welcome, but we can't expect there to not be hard choices. sometimes you need to just accept that you may not get a toon the first time around. or be hoarding like its your job and hope you did enough.
Tbh once you get the ships you want starred up and some of the toons from there the zetas become easier. Even getting 1000 ship coin per day has you on pace for a zeta every 2 days.
Plus TW and wicket and Mt events- I do not rely on the challenges to get zetas(I consider it a bonus if I do get some there) it becomes easier.
I am first in fleet every day and I am getting them from the Talzin event. I get three every Tw. I still can’t come close to keeping up. Virtually all the new characters have zetas. Some of them multiple zetas. Maybe if the character release cadence slowed down I could have a shot at catching up but the way it is now, I never will.
Agreed, making us choose who we want to gear will go some way towards increasing the variety we see in PvP parts of the game
Absolutely- the slew of marquee events have weighed heavily on us. It’s noticeable from the top down. Hopefully they stay true to their word and not do it this way next time.
I’m top 100 maybe in fleet, get 2 in TW. Don’t consider the bonuses at all and it’s all from fleet payout and other events.
I wanted to zeta all of the solo scoundrels but couldn’t to reman somewhat competitive in other game modes.
Hopefully the marquees will slow down and you can work on things you want to.
Just curious who do you want to zeta? And who do you think you need to zeta?
Agree completely. Remove useless salvage from all raid rewards. Increase STR gear rewards all tiers. Add another tier to credit heist so we can at least buy some gear from that shop. Reduce shard store prices. Increase gear drops for daily quest completion.
I don't expect you to do all of the above, but do *something*, as gear crunch is getting awful.
We just finished STR tier 5 this morning - it took us three days, I placed second. I'm gearing three toons atm and I didn't get a single piece of salvage I could use on them. Seriously? Yesterday we finished Rancor. We had about a dozen or so people who autoed it, myself included, I was 7th. I got around 60 useful salvage pieces. There is no balance there.
It's as greedy as it gets, but it is what it is!
@Vinny_Vader_Vedi here is my profile. https://swgoh.gg/p/372175766/ Remember I started the last week of November 2017, so I’m pretty new. The better question might be who don’t I need to zeta lol. I do have two zetas held right now, which I’m likely going to use to make my bh squad viable as I am working on them now, but at the top of my list, in no particular order: Bastila, Hyoda, Veers, Nest, Q’ira, r2 Combat Analysis, Thrawn, CLS, Vader, Tarkin (for fleet), Talzin, Ezra, Daka.
Ya got some really great zetas there.
I’m biased towards Thrawn and Empire so I will always try to big them up lol
I would say focus on things that will help you with the Sith raid, TW , and tbs and of course arena. If you have 2 zetas in hand I would wait till Jango comes out and try to get in the habit of always keeping one zeta in the hole.
Most of the zetas you mentioned are great. R2, veers, Thrawn unique , have more or less become staples in the game and they work great. Just my opinion - pending your Jedi teams I would put it on Bast. Tarkin doesn’t need one, cls, Vader, Ezra and daka aren’t necessary either. They are good zetas but not needed. Talzin is a good toon too but with asajj I’ll think you ll be ok.
It’s hard to say who you should zeta and who you shouldn’t because there are so many factors involved. But at the end of the day go with your gut , what you enjoy. Still can’t decide ask your GL lol.
Boy you love to point this out so much, no offense to you but it's starting to sound like a broken record. The OP isn't saying that choices won't have to be made, he is pointing out the obvious, that it's one thing to choose between 2-3 characters and another thing to choose between 10. He's speaking about balance, if they release let's say 10 characters in a year and you only have enough to gear 5 and pass on 5, it's very different from let's say they release 20 characters and you have to pick 5 and pass on 15.
Yes they have added ways to earn gear, we also have ways to earn more guild currency however you have to also remember that since they hard node farming trend begun we also have to devote all of our energy in character shards instead of gear which makes things alot more complicated. At no point did the OP say that we need to have enough to gear everything! The element of choice will always exist, we just want to keep it at the same ratios.
HSR isn’t too big a deal as I already get top 3-5 usually. Jedi would really only be for tw, but I can use them on offense without Bastila’s leadership. Definitely saving for BH. My point though is with all the new characters and their zetas, I don’t really have a way of catching up on the old ones from before I started playing.
I completely agree, the break-neck speed at which they are releasing characters in hard nodes (and why mostly Dark Side???) is ludicrous.
However, they did say they were going to rework the reward system for all raids, so let's hope that helps. But then again this is CG, who just introduced a ship energy that costs 2x as much as a hard node farm. Making those farms either 2x as long or 2x as expensive AND doesn't count towards our daily energy.
Now I understand the reasoning behind that. They don’t want whales zetaing every single character the moment they are released. Fine. However, it screws newer people. I need to be able to go back and zeta some of the characters older players have had for months or years. Thus my suggestion that after a year or so, characters with zeta abilities no longer require zetas, they require a new mat called alphas. It helps F2P and newer players alike, while still keeping the same pace for zetaing new characters that are released.
Yea it’s tougher for newer players, you also don’t have to waste any zetas either.
There are a few I did solely for HAAT and they are null and void now. (Looking at you Cody!)
Give it time. Once the next raid rolls around I’ll probably be saying the same thing about zetas on HSR squads. Looking at you Visas.
Haha no she’s great in TW against traya lol
The issue is that people are asking to keep up with the release rate. While this is an issue of concern, keeping up with what? if you want to be able to farm everything to be ready for all the speculation.....well, its not always going to happen.
in times like this, sometimes you need to realize you may not be ready for everything and work on a plan for what you can handle. trying to have everything is for the krakens, the rest of us make it work.
As i had pointed out, they have been introducing new ways to get gear, they are trying to keep balance, but they will always keep the pace too. we have to manage our resources to fit the plans we can make work.
