Mandos mandatory for GC now?
Does that mean if you don't have decent mando characters moving forward you can kiss bye bye to the red crate?
That's me! https://swgoh.gg/p/337141285/

That applies to all player factions, not just mandos
Also the newest faction with the worst synergy but whatever.
I have all my mando’s (aside from Armourer) at 7*. That doesn’t get me the red crate
Yeah but mandos are on par with tuskens right now as far as synergy goes
I get that. But my point is practically all GCs have mando related feats now. Or are they going to remove the Beskar Mando feat from the others? I don't think so.
They will probably be doing this moving forward with any new toon/faction. At least with the faction we have transparency. Hopefully they will do that with new toons required as well in the future. We get double the rewards now though since they are twice a week. So just do your best every time, or whale if you want red crate every time! The way this game keeps going is stuff like this. Other mobile games push this type of stuff a lot harder, so I’m happy this is on lesser events in the game. But hey, it’s more stuff to work on! At least we have a few older Mando toons to use (Jango, Sabine, GS and ISC).
Hey, they are better than Tuskens! At least they get 200% protection! 🤷🏻♂️
Just want to say, your comments are usually the reason I still read these posts! Always good for a laugh or two! 👏🏼
I’ll trade that for someone named Urorrurror!, hahaha
That is the best named toon in the game 🤣
Honestly, I wasn't surprised by the BAM feats every other GC. I am a little surprised that instead of rotating factions, they have the same faction every other GC. It's almost like they are intentionally trying to make the game mode less interesting and more repetitive.
I mean I realize that the game is Star Wars: Grinding of Heroes, but this seems an odd choice....even for CG.

Yeah, it turned from a varying mode utilizing different parts of your roster into a way to monetize new releases. In hindsight, yeah, should have seen it coming.
What happened to Galaxy of Hoarding?
Tough decision whether to put some resources into getting Beskar Mando to ensure maximum GC rewards or just hoard and ignore
I'm going for hoard and ignore myself
1) "faction of the month": The same faction 4 times in GC and feats for this faction in GAC
2) Mandalorian become the "GC Faction" and will appear 4 times each month. It gives them a purpose.
I like both, as long as we know about it; it means you'll have strategic choices to make.
Those look both fine, either you gear up a faction to ensure nice rewards for the future or you get to balance investment vs. return for different faction each month. I'm afraid, though, that a third option will turn out to be true: whatever character or faction is new (and thus available mostly to payers) that month.
This progression gets rid of the problem bam feat introduced. Last month we needed already well developed faction which was interrupted by a completely unthematical need (bam) in extra. If their thinking is how I read it, I have no objection to the current state of affairs (whether I'm on the losing side or not).
That might well be the case. However, the criticism I want to make is, it takes away game-play diversity. We are more or less "forced" to constantly chase after the latest toys CG is dumping on us (not only for whalers but also F2P, because GC is all about mods, which is one of few areas where F2P can shine with time invested). That overall would be less painful, if the latest toys are really viable and improve your overall gameplay, which sadly is not the case at the moment with the mando faction. I can do well in TB, TW, GAC and Arena without any of them.
Don't take me wrong. I like new content, be it new toons or new game modes. But I don't like how it currently seems to be: mando or nothing else.
I agree, the mando heaviness right now is temporary and circumstantial. Last months manner of things was much worse though, you get a gc where it's about a faction you are heavily invested yet the faction is still not good enough regardless if you have all in r7. GCs in any state since now have been underwhelming for me, so I've yet to care about the mode except the restriction it put on my roster growth.
I also think making gcs about new mods made disrupted the previous investment to some degree, waiting to see where else they will introduce the mats to focus invest there.
Same, but my 3* Armorer did get me the red crate.
My point wasn't about the rewards - hence the comment about understanding and being okay with the BAM feats. It was actually about the game play and enjoyment of the game mode.
Making Mandalorians (especially when there is only a handful) the "featured" faction in 4 of the 8 GCs this month seems unnecessarily repetitive. Even if you have Mandalorians at the levels needed to succeed, it's just monotony when faction variety would have worked and been more fun.
