Can we just have Omega Battles every single weekend?

Naecabon

Seriously, WTB Omegas.

Why get rid of them? Just have these on infinite loop IMO.

The Omega struggle is real.

Rotation of events on a norms type would be good.

Every weekend is double exp and omega
Monday , Wednesday, Friday double event ( random table chosen and double is given)
Tuesday and Thursday ( a random event is played like the droid event or the empire event).


To me this sounds good and would make me look foward to each one.

Agreed this would be very helpful. 15-20 days to fully omega just ONE character? No thank you

LordRath

3 and a half years to omega every toon, does seem a little slow

Russsteele

Just double everything. When they did the May 4th promotions, it was the only time that credits, cantina credits, crystals and shards were dropping at a decent rate that also most seemed right.

They could do that and make the battles a little harder. Give people incentive to build up eligible characters.

It's not like people aren't using crystals to refresh the tier III battle so they have nothing to lose.

Naecabon

I mean, these things just print money for them right? So so so many of us crystal refresh the omegas, so who's losing in this? Everyone gets more omegas, they get more money, this is win/win? yeah?

Let's all win!

LordRath

Yeah, even after an ongoing weekend event, it would still be a gated item, not too fast, but not rediculously slow.

Without these battles omegas are basically the only thing that level the field between ftp to whales.
It's a good thing. Plus we don't need to have everything to max after a week, we can be patience

With Omega battles it'd still take a year to omega everything

At the current rate, you will never get everyone done. To keep the math simple...you can basically omega 2 of the 81 toons a month...BUT, we basically get two new characters a month, so you will never do more than just keep up with new toons, in essence (can put them on anyone obviously though).

I don't feel strongly one way or another, but wanted there to be context. I'm all for gating the game to slow progression, gear is handling that aggressively right now (once again, don't feel like getting into a gear discussion).

Post this in my thread (ideas people we need ideas!!) it's a great idea want to make it a megathread so they can take it all to the devs

Almost two years, excluding new characters, if it's weekends only, if you do two refreshes on both Saturday and Sunday

I can see why EA would want to drag this out for a year.

I don't like the idea of it being regular. It makes it more interesting and special when you have to carefully pick where you want to invest the omegas you've earned. When everybody has everything it removes an element of strategy that makes squad building compelling and ruins diversity.

Do you whales really need to omega CUP, ugnaught and mob enforcer?

Plus dont you just do 20 crystal refreshes on weekends?

Let's just do some math. 20 characters (for raids) as a conservative estimate, 3 abilities each. 1 ability every 5 days. Without these events, it would take 10 months to max abilities.

Also, you can only refresh 2 times

Casual_Player

Like the idea, but lets not turned this out as "stronger-get-stronger"
Just remove refresh but give 3 mats instead.

plus may the 4th with you sale bonus should've come weekly too

Weekend omega sounds awesome

I completely agree, even throw in a night sister only day. I refresh every day, which means more crystals which means more money for them. I don't see how they lose out.

This would be a great idea. Nice post.

I think that's point. They want you to have to make choices probably. If every character has maxed out Omega abilities, how special then are the Omega abilities?

I also look at it as kind of at it like Vader, one of the few things in the game that can't be bought. All the players have equal access.
