    I was sold on it as soon as I saw sim tickets included. One can never have enough sim tickets.

    Im curious how it will effect arena at the low level. I know you can horde energy and power level to the top of your shard, but is it going to make shards have like 100 lvl 85s while everyone are only lvl 30?

    Can you believe they posted about this dumb pack while simultaneously not posting about the blunder LSGTB is? Thousands and thousands of players are waiting for a statement about LSGTB and nothing but silence. Getting close to putting this game down.

    I love this subtle euphemism: "In the Road Ahead, TopHat talked briefly about the Hyperdrive Bundle."
    Half of the Road Ahead post was about this new bundle. If this means "briefly", I can just imagine how the devs talk about other bundles amongst each other:

    "-Hey! Have you seen the new gear pack I've just assembled for megaubersuperkrakens?
    - Noooo way. Tell me about it mooooooorree.
    *more than a workday-long chatter*
    - Wow, it's really amazing. Can you give us some more details?
    - Sure, read the Road Ahead post."

    So this bundle effectively removes the early game for new players? And the Mid game if they chose to purchase a higher option? Or did I just get confused somewhere?
    And how much is this going to cost?? Good lord above

    At the end of Crumb’s post, he says
    Please feel free to submit questions related to this topic in our next Q&A.

    Expect most questions to be on journey guide or hyperdrive bundle and avoid most TB questions

    Isn't a character required to be 7 stars in order to reach g12? They provided an example of a 6 star at g12... Shouldn't happen unless it is Malak that got "illegal" shards, upgraded to 7 star, progressed to g12, then had their illegal shards pulled back and got to keep their gear. Or is this a new feature?

    It's good to see they can still find their way through all the flames and stay focused on what is important to them.

    If I'm being honest, I'd like to know if others can tell who purchased this bundle. If so, I don't want anyone who did in any guild I'm in or associated with for two reasons:

    1) They will likely have a very poor understanding of the game, as they haven't actually "played up" their account - they've just been handed one (for a hefty price, no doubt)

    2) They are apparently not very smart, as there are well built accounts....available by means that some might consider....unnatural.

    CG are clueless, people are fuming with anger on the **** LSTB and instead they ask for more money with new bundles.....you guys deserve Disney to revoke your Starwars licence.

    No money for you, anyone who buys this supports a cash grab company.

    TVF i guess he means not really understanding the game (synergies, mods, matchmaking - which team is best counter or what to use and not to use against whom etc.)

    Because they bought the pack, instead of a well built account.

    Not knowing about a "well built account" is not a matter of smarts.

    No he means not knowing about a shortcut you'd have to do research to know about. In my book that doesn't make someone dumb.

    If I have money to invest in something, I research that something before investing to make sure I get the best ROI. Not doing one's due diligence when investing would be considered dumb by some people. I'm some people.

    Some people just like playing phone games and spending a little money on the entertainment they bring. But whatever.

    You mean becoming a whale and spending on the game, right? Because I don't think the TOS allow you to buy an account.

    We haven't seen the price of the pack yet, but I doubt most people will consider it "a little money".

    You are absolutely correct about what the terms of service state.

    I disagree with buying the account

    I agree that newer players will have poorer understanding of the game. Best move imo would be to get every non journey / legendary toon to 7 stars and some gear to push them to gear 4/5 I guess And a bunch of credits and training droids

    Level should stay at 1

    Can’t imagine a player with No zetas, no mods, or anything and being able to sim everything. They are missing a lot about what made this game fun early on and endgame isn’t as fun of you haven’t worked your way up

    Then why even bring it up and call people dumb for not doing it?
