Hyperdrive bundle
Does anyone know how the hyperdrive bundle works if I'm already level 71 with some 5 star characters already? Will I get the shards to make them 7 star? I'll still get all of the stuff that I'm supposed to get right?

Characters that you already have 5* or higher stay that way. Characters you haven't unlocked or are below 5* are unlocked and promoted to 5*.
It's one of the best value packs they've ever done, even without the characters. If you spend it's worth it for the gear alone.
This thread has a break down of how the bundle works if you need it: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/220084/hyperdrive-bundle-details
Thanks man. I do spend, I've only been playing a little over a month and I think I've done alot for that short time. Thanks again for your help
You got value from those previous purchases for whatever time you had in advance of the hyperdrive bundle. You pay for time in this game which is exactly what you got, and there's no reason you should get any other refund
nothing wipes out purchases, what do you mean?
He is saying that his previous purchases are negated. If he spent on packs and gear to get his Mob enforcer to 5* G8, then it was wasted as the hyperdrive does the same thing.

I am not sure what game you are playing, but we are not paying for "time" in this game, we are paying for character shards/blueprints or upgrades. If your explanation is true that we are only paying for "time" then are you saying at some point all the purchases people do will be taken away?
Look at it this way, If someone was to purchase the hyperdrive bundle first then the character packages, then those character shards and blueprints would stay in your inventory. Buying the hyperdrive bundle afterwards wipes the character shards and blueprints from your bundle by a flaw in the bundle description. The bundle description first says it does not add any shards or blueprints to your characters, but then later says it "tops up" those shards and blueprints to the intended level. So if you purchased a character bundle for Jedi Knight Anakin and get 40 shards and then get the hypdrive bundle at a later date, those 40 shards you purchased for cash gets wiped and you are back down to 0 shards even though your JKA is now at 5 star. If you have purchased something, then you should still have it, not have it taken away. That is my point.
Anything in this game is available for free, if you are willing to put in enough time. So when you pay for a toon instead of grind it out over time, you’re spending money in lieu of time to get it for free - hence “paying for time”.
You’re paying for early access to it, in other words.
The argument is, “you paid to have early access to JKA, and you got it”. So nothing is being taken away.
Saying all that, I’d love to get the shards to all the included toons/ships. For an end game player, that’s a LOT of shard shop currency. Which is why they structured it this way I believe, as that much currency would throw everything else out of whack.
If anyone spent on packs and gear to get Mob Enforcer to any gear level at all it was wasted whether they also got the hyperdrive bundle or not
IIRC, it could potentially be up to 130k shard shop currency if you had all the characters already. There is no way they sell the bundle for $99 bucks if that was a possibility
I did a rough estimate awhile ago and it came out to something huge like that too, definitely more than they would be willing to give us.
I had every character in there at 7* already and I still grabbed it. It's easily the best value bundle they've ever done.
someone buying something they see as having great value is proof of grossness? WELP
Vile! Contemptible!
Actually I did not get early access to JKA, I received only half the shards to get him. This happened on another character.
It should not matter what order you purchase things, yet for this bundle it does.
It would be great if it let you keep both, but the hyperdrive pack only “tops you up” to a specific level. Whether you had 0 shards or 144 doesn’t matter.
Unfortunately, it’s the way the bundle works and it is explained as such in the description. The younger your account is when you you buy the pack, the more value you get from it.
Or does it illustrate that they wanted to buy the pack simply because they wanted the other stuff the pack came with?
You are discounting one thing, games have also gotten infinitely more complex and better in those same 10 years.
It is not the same product that is offered at a higher price 10 years later.
Yes, prices have gone up and it's crazy to think that when Nintendo originally came out the console would cost you $100. So yes, a pack at the same price is crazy to think about.
That being said, the manpower put into making games these days is far greater than it ever was before. One of my favorite all times games, Metroid, takes only about an hour or 2 beat... the entire game!
So yes prices have gone up, but so has the quality of product. We are lucky enough to play a game that costs absolutely nothing but time to play. People can spend if they want and no that's not gross. If prices go up and people continue to spend that also is not gross. Consumers consume and profiteers profit. That's capitalism.
