Zeta crunch is really a big problem. Just wondering when will the new Zeta bonus drops will come and what will be the requirements ?

And buy that new ascension pack $10 for 15 zetas buy far they best value in the game
You're correct, but the zeta economy was built before LSB came into the game. If you're a LSB purchaser (which CG wishes/hopes/wants this to be 100% of players) you are behind on zetas with no real way to boost the supply to bring you back to parity with the current economy.
For example, I have a fully built relic Mon Mothma team with zero zetas on anyone and a fully built relic Phoenix team with 1 zeta (both LSB purchases). I also have a fully built Cere/Malicos UFU team with all necessary zetas.
The economy supports my natural UFU team building progression but I don't ever see a day my MM or Phoenix team gets their zetas in the current economy. Essentially, you can keep up but you can't ever get caught up from a LSB.
I play this game for 2,5 years, theres no much zetas for me because the new toons and teams requires way more zetas, theres no plenty, even for my easy arena shard payout.
Fleet Arena and GAC are your best bets, but if you bought LSB then you'll be effectively placing yourself months behind on Zeta farming for those relic characters that otherwise would've had their Zetas had they been naturally farmed.
Imo, this crunch is a deterrent to buying future LSB. That is, until CG addresses the Zeta shortage in a meaningful way and fixes bugged Zeta events, like Immortal GG in Defense of Dathomir.
This is intentional
No its not. It would be intentional if they routinely sold zeta packs with or around LSB.
This is classic 'create a problem and sell us the solution' but they've forgotten to sell us the solution.
I don't need zetas so I'm not really paying attention but I'm reasonably sure they have been selling zetas on occasion recently, and I would not be surprised to see it ramp up more.
Wasn't there very recently a $10 pack with both omis and zetas?
There you go.
ye they are all ways selling zetas and some times omis to i tend to buy them.
LSBs are a double edged sword. As it should be. You get quite a few reliced characters, but on the flip side you don’t get ability materials or mods. That is balanced. So yes, you shouldn’t get handed other things on the platter because you decided to open your wallet.
Why do you feel entitled to being able to purchase zeta materials in addition to the existing LSBs? You’ve already bypassed the amount of time to farm and gear characters by going to LSB route
I use fleet shop to feed shard shop 360 purchases. Seems like not doing it would slow down characters development a lot. Is there any consensus about what the best use of the fleet currency is?
Depends on where you’re at in the game. For anyone with a zeta surplus then get SSC. Early game you should be getting ship shards, then zeta mats until you’re at a surplus
Unless you're swimming in zeta mats and can't spend them fast enough - always, always, always spend fleet currency on zeta mats.
edit: unless you're farming ships with fleet currency - that's also a good use for it.
Best use by far is Zetas.
Short term you might need gear more, but mid and long term you will need Zetas more and not at all gear.
Even the Zeta crunch mostly go away, but gear crunch goes away long before.
I do!
CG would say "nah! We will omit 2-4 zetas instead from Dathomir, so you will buy more of our $10 zetas/omis".
Well, you did now. Farming all those MK6 Medpacks and the likes drives me crazy.
When did I say I was entitled to more zetas? I said CG has missed the mark on zeta demand with the addition of LSB and they should be selling zeta packs to correct the market while making money.
I'm sure you've noticed that signal data and kyros are also major bottlenecks for most players? I'm also certain you've noticed 10,000 packs to buy both of those every single week? You're going to suggest that CG shouldn't capitalize on zetas the same way because why?
