But it is only helpful for new players, it more of a slap in the face. Like everybody can just take on a new farm...let alone a Marquee Ship that is just now available, but comes with a toon that is over 2 years old....wth?
They could've just put it with Bossk ala KRU, or Scavenger Rey
It would make more sense to put it on Bossk’s node, but the same thing can be said for those that have Bossk at 7* already. Either way, it would be a double farm or a single farm + shard shop currency.
Who has been available for a while, and in a lot of cases would probably have the same end result as where they ended up putting it. Bossk shards and Stormtrooper shards are worth the same in the shard store.
The idea was probably to slow the acquisition of Houndstooth - the same way they hid Nest in fleet 5.
Would you rather, that they removed stormtrooper from the node? As HT would probably never have gone to nodes with Embo, Bossk, KOTOR or any other new characters, the chosen location is fine. It could have been worse, f.ex. if located together with one of the old priority farms (I consider stormtrooper to be secondary).
PS. My alt has 7* shoretrooper, but never farmed Stormtrooper. I'm fine with being able to farm them both.
That would be good! ST is just such a put off for me.
Bossk certainly hasn't been available for as long as Storm Trooper. Hahaha...find me the number showing how many people have Storm Trooper (a toon that I know to been around for almost 2 years) or a toon that has been F2p for like 2 months.
Removing ST would deprive you of shard shop currency, and deprive others of needed ST shards. I don't see anybody winning anything if he was removed — only losses.
👍
I do not think drop rates work the way you think they work.
How exactly does having Stormtrooper and HT share a node decrease the drop rate of either?
(If you farm the node for a few weeks and record the drop rates, I'm sure you will see that the drop rate of HT shards is on par with any other shard drop rate and that the stormtrooper shards are pure bonus with no negative influence what so ever.)
I can ask for what ever I want or question what ever decision. I'm sick of a certain percentage of this community who believe that they are the person to put anybody in place that asks for anything. & not I'm not interested in farming another hard node ship crammed into somebody elses node. Clearly I HAVE had to farm a hard ode or else I wouldn't be asking ****?! So get off your high horse. I dont care about any of your opinions
If you're happy, then why do you have try & move i to my space. Just move along with your happiness
They do...your more than welcome to work out the math for yourself
Ok then.
I was not happy with you promoting the false idea, that the drop rate of HT shards was affected by HT sharing a node with stormtrooper. I interpret this comment of yours as a sign, that you realized your mistake. I hope, that people, who read your first comment also read this, to not be affected by your false information.
*sigh* The drop rate of HT shards is not affected in any way by stormtrooper shards also dropping from the same node like you claimed earlier in this discussion. The drop rates are not reduced for any of them. Anyone, who farmed Tie SIlencer, Tie Reaper, Millenium Falcon etc. probably knows this.
No thank you. I'm not the one claiming they work differently than a lot of posts and data sets show them to. I'm happy with the way I think they work (which is that the Stormtrooper drops in no way effect the Houndstooth drops).
Second: This node also has really great purple gear too (cuffs I think). So at least you're getting shard shop currency, and great gear along with Hounds Tooth.
Since our discussion I tracked the drops from 27 sims. I had 9 Stormtrooper shards and 11 HT shards drop. Yes, it's a small sample size, but the results correspond fairly well with my perception of my drop rate so far from previous sims.
