Hyperdrive bundle worth it for my account?
Hi,
Just jumped back into the game and was just wondering what you guys think about getting a hyperdrive bundle on my account?
https://swgoh.gg/p/888417632/
I want to start on toons in the journey guide but I'm lacking a lot of the toons required for them. Closest I'm at to 7 starring is GM yoda. I'm also 25 shards of general Kenobi but can seem to find a guild that does heroic tank raids and also wants me. I need carrying so I can unlock him haha. Considering the bundle to try and make me a bit more competitive in the game.

With that said Hyperdrive bundle is the best value ever offered in the game and if they offered it again, I'd buy it a 2nd time.
I don't mind grinding out the arena on my current account. Feel like it would still be easier work than starting fresh. Just not sure which account to drop the money on and if it's even worth it on my current.
Good luck! Either way you choose, Hyperdrive is huge. I had most of the characters already 7* but the gear alone made it a value. Then when you factor in the quests it adds and how nice the rewards are for those, it's a no brainer. I'd spend a lot more if packs contained this kind of value.
if you are an endgame player with 140+ g13 toons or a player that just started the game today
the resources alone are worth the price
For sure, to put it in prospective, I picked it up when I started my SLKR farm. There is some gear pieces that I STILL have in surplus due to Hyperdrive. I'm just finally starting to see my count getting lower to where I might have to think about them again. Since then I've done SLKR, and JML.
What's this about quests now?
There are some HBD exclusive requests tied to raids, but IIRC the rewards are 15 shards each of Han, GK, and Traya, which I don't think moves the needle a ton.
With that said I agree that the HBD is a fantastic value for pretty much any player at any level.
It added a bunch of new quests for me. They weren't hard, just "play the game" type stuff. One of them is the Kill Door Panel in Rancor raid 10 times that up until Challenge version had been oh so elusive. :P
Those quests might be baseline for new accounts now, but for me they were all new. The rewards I recall the most were the mod rewards. If there were character shards as a result, I wouldn't have noticed as I had them all already.
Now if only I'd have gotten character shards for all the characters HDB that I had already, mmmm...that'd have been a nice shard shop currency boost, lol.
I was about to buy the HDB a few months ago, specifically because the way it's presented makes you think you're getting those shards - I stopped when I found out that you didn't get them for characters you already had (since I'm over 3M GP) but I think I'll be getting it tomorrow for the bump towards JML.
Ya, I knew in advance I wouldn't get them, I waited till some cost analysis convinced me to do it. Even w/o the shards though, it was a big value add. I got it before I started SLKR farm, and I've completed him and JML both and still am living on the gear surge that it provided (for some pieces anyways).
Still could use some Stun Guns though, for the love of God?! Please?!
That said, witha 6 months work it is definitely possible to get a GL, and hence climb in Arena, so if you have a decently invested account, I’d definitely stick around as it will probably be much less of a grind.
I would also strongly suggest finding a good guild ASAP, as when I rejoined I managed to find a great guild with 200m GP even though I was at 1.45m - I’m now at 2.7m and climbing, and the gear from HSTR has made a HUGE difference, so I’d definitely look around for a guild willing to invest in a relative newbie if I were you.
Good Luck!
I share this. I bought it at 630k GP and would buy it now at 1.2 million GP. There is about 1500$ in gear alone if you were to buy it through other packs.
HDB is an extremely expensive way to change zeroes to ones and ones to zeroes. You can say it has good value only because all the other packs are unimaginably expensive just because it starts with the words "star wars"........
And yes it is unimaginably expensive when all 10 dollars can get you is one piece of gear out of the approximately 15 rare pieces for each of the almost 200 characters that this game is approaching!!!!!
Yes I am 100% ftp not because I do not want to support the game, I would honestly do that if they weren't trying to rob me just to play a mobile game,but because I cannot afford spending hundreds of euros every month for essentially nothing. I would honesty spend real money if the prices were 10% of what they are now. They would still make the same amount of money if not more cause whales would spend all they can afford to spend anyway and the rest of us would surely spend more than now...
So to answer your question, NO do not buy HDB no matter which account. But that is just my personal point of view...
So you want the game to end?
I had no idea about the quests when I bought it. Since I was at 3.5M PG they were all completed so I got all the rewards right away. It was a very nice surprise 😅
Here’s a nice summary of the pack, there’s a section with all the quests.

Wow, those quests are some good rewards to be “freebies” onto an already good pack, thanks for that!
That may seem like getting the hyper drive bundle will push you to the top of arena, but there are players with the bundle outside of rank 200 that I'm still competing with. $100 bucks and you still only get 60 crystals/day from squad arena? Top of the arena is full relic and that means they kept spending (prob thousands of dollars) and the ones who only bought the bundle are, at best, hoping for top 100 and possibly just top 500. Not a good value in that sense.
If you just want to speed up progress and maybe move up to the next payout level in one or maybe both arenas, it will certainly speed up your farms and gearing and arena results will vary. You'll still feel way behind the big spenders and still have a ton of characters that you can't gear up as much as you want because you need to focus on the ones that get you GAS or a GL. You just slightly speed up your progress towards an ever moving end goal.
First part is completely subjective.
Second part is definitely true.
If you don't want to restart, make sure you get Vader's Merciless Massacre zeta. It makes him a totally different animal.
You didn't say anything about comparing it to other games.
I don't play any other games so I can't comment further.
Arguably you actually say with this that you would buy the HDB. Because it definitely has more than 10 time the value of any other pack.
Where did I write that? I love this game and I am playing it every day since September 2016.All I am saying is I cannot afford to spend that much money in a game. And my personal point of view is that this game is extremely expensive. If it was like I said 10 times cheaper I could afford to spend 50 euros a month to support the game. Where do 50 euros a month take me now? Nowhere... Imagine the vault costing 10 bucks. How many off us would buy that? And how many would a whale or a kraken buy????
You've got this wrong. Compared to other packs yes, it has value. But I will not spend 100 euros for that. What if they release a pack costing 2 million dollars but has items in it worth 10 million dollars worth in crystals?? Would you buy that? I think No. Would it still have great value over the other packs? Definitely...
