What is your opinion on the journey guide?
Hey everyone. With the journey guide releasing in the next update, and the majority of events moving to full time, I was curious to see what everyone else opinion is. I think it's a great thing. I don't own either revans, CLS, Padme, C-3PO, Chimera, etc. So, this launch is a great thing for me. I was so close to getting CLS last time he was in rotation, but my SThan wasn't ready. Now, I can attempt it any time whenever I want. I feel like this is actually a big move on CG's part because it totally eliminates last-minute grinding for events, so they are kinda losing money from this. Anyways, what do you guys think?

I had meant less of CLS and more on new events like the Revans and Starforge. Seeing as the average player who has both revans in the past may have spent crystals to panic-gear toons in order to get ready for Starforge, they will no longer have to do that because it will be available all the time.
Are people panic farming for events that are over 1 year old? IIRC they said events will only become part of the Journey Guide after they have been out for a year.
That’s literally every event in the game except Clash on Kamino. I was panic farming for CLS the last time I tried to get him.
I think it's a great idea. No one is panic farming anything for 1 year old events. They're not missing out on any money, and they're just making it easier to complete these characters when you're ready.
I'm pretty sure that on launch the following events will not be part of the guide (since they are not a year old):
Flight of the Falcon (Jan 2019)
Aggressive Negotiations (May 2019)
Star Forge Showdown (April 2019)
Scourge of the Old Republic (March 2019)
Clash on Kamino (October 2019)
So not literally EVERY event other than Clash on Kamino, just most of them. The real money makers will not be a part of it for a while.
Well, seeing as how they're switching from monetizing toons to monetizing gear, they actually are making it easier for people to spend on gear. You focus on farming your stars, knowing you can always spend in the gear. Additionally, say, in the OP's case, if he was just a few shards short on STH he could also just buy those last shards for crystals in one store or the other and boom, you can get your CLS. If the prices were reasonable this would actually increase sales, I think, instead of making any new baby whales have to farm and farm and farm some more, they can just come in and buy stuff up all at once.
I disagree. Although it is technically not real content, it is unlocking more content for people. I don't have the majority of legendary characters unlocked, so for me, it is new content. To answer your second comment, I don't believe content creators don't have access to the game code. Maybe you should re-read what the journey guide actually is. It is a permanent unlocking of events that have been out for over a year, and showing new players what is necessary to complete said journey events.
Well actually this means you care, at least a little.
Oh wow. I didn't realize so many events hadn't been out for a year lol. Darth revan seems so old.
You cant panic farm without panicking
They did.
You just die after 30 secs.
Voting with my wallet
10/10. Would read again.
I don't think so. The calendar said that the Journey Guide would be coming in the next update, but no indication when. I'd suspect within a week or two. Then we'll probably get an update one-two weeks after ROS for new content with a possible event. Idk, I'm just hoping.
I know, that's not how the forums work.
Pff, logic...
