The omega crunch.
Show of hands. Who is skipping out on the revan event because you won’t have his omegas ready for a number of months anyway. I’m still working through Jango and Chewie over here.

Same boat, but it seems to be an issue that people run into once they have a deep roster of usable squads. You need a ton of both zetas and omegas, but while zetas are only used for zeta abilities, omegas are used on almost all abilities. They aren't that much more plentiful, so eventually your zeta supply outpaces your omega supply.
In short: first world problem.
If I wanted to I could buy the shards. But I don’t think I I’ll have omegas set aside for him until after Christmas.
I would say thats just poor resource management, but that can't be it......
TIght control on the things you can't get quick is how you stay flexible.
His kit isn't even out yet so it's impossible to tell how important some of those omegas even are.
Well I really don’t care about him unless he is arena meta. So if his omega abilities suck that might be tough to achieve.
Why, if you can unlock a character, would your ability to fully omega or zeta them influence you? That’s like saying, I am missing 7 pieces of GS12+ to fully develop the toon from unlock to insta maxed. Nah. Pass.
Every single problem in this game is a first world problem.
It takes 51 omegas to max out JTR
Imagine if you are able to unlock Revan and to max him out you need 51 omegas (likely).
It'll take you almost 2 months.
I hope we get something with large influx of omegas soon. The omega battles are for lower leveled players as the devs said previously and there isn't anything to address omega shortage for end game players except for dailies which is slower than needed.
I don't see how 2 months is accurate. You get 60 in two months from dailies alone. Then you get some from challenges and various events. Probably at least 20 or so a month from other sources but I don't have exact numbers. But you can probably have enough omegas in a month. Given that we got 2 weeks notice on the event, you could have all the omegas within 2 weeks of the event ending so that's really not much of an issue.
It doesnt take anywhere near two months to omega a toon.... Even one that requires 51, I'm one month you get:
-30 omega from daily
-7 from omega battles
-An average of 12 from mats challenges
-Lets be conservative and say one a week from GW, so 4
That is already 53, and I haven't even taken TW or ship challenges into account....
Chewbacca who was released the same month requires 41 Omegas. I'm not including TW omega rewards because mileage could vary but just to max out one toon you need one months worth of omega and you are still in the negative. I'm using Jango Fett as a sample of "you don't need to max out every ability and all of Jango's abilities are useless". Jango Fett requires 46 omegas. There was also NS Zombie rework to make her viable you needed to spend 5 omegas.
The total cost for the month of September in omegas is 92. Omegas gained approx. 50 (with TW on average). This does not give you enough time to work on all your other toons for raids, TW etc.
If you are trying to use Chewbacca and keep your NS Zombie relevant you are done for the month of september you need to acquire october omegas to work on your other toons. If you want to use Jango Fett for TW then wait another month, and avoid using any omegas on toons for october
The problem with bringing up omega crunch or gold balls crunch is that people just look at their inventory and think they are fine instead of looking a couple of months down the line or how many toons they need to work on or how other members of their guild are doing. There is an increasingly number of people bringing up the omega crunch every week, if that is a sign of a problem in the horizon then I don't know what is.
EDIT: I did miss out on GW and Weekly challenges. That is a good point. I think the amount you get in a month is a lot higher to about ~60 which isn't bad.
EDIT EDIT: I'll track my omega earnings for the month of nov from the 1st to Dec 1st and see how my omega usage is.
We were talking of fully omega 1 toon in a month, not 3.... I would submit tyat, if you can whale on toons, you can whale on omegas too..... If not, time to start balancing your whaling.....
In all seriousness though, omega crunch is a real problem, anyone with a high gp will eventually encounter it regardless of their spending grade. As an f2p it's even more of a problem for me since I can't buy omegas.
EDIT: I have poor grammar.
Can we add "need" to that list?
if you're using the word "your" when you mean "you're", you're gonna have a bad time....

I’ve also never heard of anyone not going after a legendary/heroes journey character because they won’t have enough omegas to instantly get them maxed out. Like what?....
