Dates & Times (unless otherwise listed) are always CG based, which is Sacramento, California.
Right now, at this moment, it is still September 4 as far as CG is concerned.

Not for double drops. They will start at your reset time.

Those double drops really helped me farm Mando and Karga a lot.

What about your next 5 attempts after your refresh?

DarjeloSalas · September 5, 2020 8:57PM

I heart double drops

Vendi1983 · September 5, 2020 11:12PM

@vincentlondon those would have been zero without double drops.

Double what you get, not double the drop rate. Hasn't changed since they started doing these.

yep - 2 x 0 = 0

Talking of zero's - C3PO or C3P0?

Format of droid names is Letter - Number, Letter- Number.

@DarjeloSalas

Nice!

I myself did pretty poorly, 15 attempts each at Mando & Greef, got 4 of Mando & 6 of Greef.

On the other hand some gold gear I desperately needed dropped 10 on 12 attempts, so that was awesome. And as much as we might wish to say that shards are more important, both Mando & Greef are long term projects - saving a couple days off the end of their farms more than a month from now isn't as important to me as gearing up HRScout and saving the needed gear for Jedi Luke so I can take him directly to g13.

BB8, IG88, IG86, L3-37, HK47, IG100 beg to differ...

Well, according to www.starwars.com which really doesn't get any more official:

"C-3PO"

As pronounced. Not "three-p-zero"

Unless I'm forgetting something, wouldn't that make him the only known droid whose "name" doesn't end in a number?

4-LOM

Vendi1983 · September 7, 2020 3:11AM

K-2SO also ends in an "O"...

JarJarRequissa · September 7, 2020 12:07PM

its sometimes interesting to see people make claims about star wars that can easily be proven wrong. the credits for the movies and all the toy and merchandising package has an O not a zero. not sure why anyone would even think its zero. makes zero sense to me.

NicWester · September 7, 2020 3:21PM

Because 0 is colloquially called O and we're not all sticks in the mud.

MasterSeedy · September 7, 2020 7:51PM

Jenny, eight-six-seven-five-three-o-nine, why does your phone number have a letter in it?

No

I mean technically yes, but no.

FofoBett · September 7, 2020 10:08PM

Cor - that caused a stir didn't it! I was just wondering/ musing on the format as we were talking about zeros on doubled drops (as often quoted 2 x 0 = 0) and thought that R2-D2 had that format and considering at the time of writing Star wars GL probably only ever named three droids - R2-D2, C3PO (and one droid that has a bad motivator - R5 - we never know know its full name). So based on the original star wars format, the droid naming might have been Letter number - letter number? Who knows? I know there are lots of droids with different naming conventions but they were all named afterwards and some director/ writer may have changed the format - again who knows.

Yep - which is way I thought about it? Maybe it is 0?

I wasn't claiming anything, and I know its threepio because that is all Luke every shouts when he's in the trash compactor but looking at the format R2 D2 and C3 P0 - seems logical to me? Not to you?

Good point! hadn't considered that as a reason.

Okay - I oversimplified my statement as the format for these two droids not the entire cannon - obviously I know these other droid names do not fit the pattern but for the original two droids created by GL in 1977 maybe it was and that as we just say an 'oh' when we actually mean a zero - after-all it was just a script in a film, I don't think even he'd created IG88, HK47 or BB8 then had he?

In fact as we all know, IG88 was refabricated catena bar bits!

4-LOM
C1-10P

4-LOM was made up by Kenner as they had no idea who 'it' was, in fact I think they got his/its names mixed up over two BH's (zuckiss - I think - link below).

No idea who C1-10P is, I 'm a bit of a purist and film fan, never really in to Old Republic, video games or wider novels and such like.
