Do we officially know why droid callers aren't in shipments?

Jaflip

Just curious if a Dev actually gave us an answer on this. Why not droid callers if they're counter part, the furnace is on there. I'm sure everyone's tired of seeing droid caller posts. But I just wanted to add fuel to the fire like a few posts I've seen TODAY I too am getting extremely frustrated about this. If not shipments at least make it easier. Obtaining them should be about skill; not luck. I have terrible luck. Skill I have in small doses.. But luck? Nope

For some reason they're making droid callers the hardest raid gear to get, even though a lot of people had them precrafted before the raids.

They're purposely making the gear gap between players widen and it's blatantly obvious.

Has there ever been a game with this big of a blunder? I honestly don't get why it's taking so long to fix. You can fix it by putting it in shipments. People won't care that they have to pay for it when others got it for free. At this time we'd rather pay for it than be strapped for months while the gap keeps getting bigger. At least with it being more accessible it evens it out a little more

For the same reason scanners, disk and so forth aren't either.
Droid callers aren't the hardest it's all just RNG and droid callers aren't the most needed...Just wait... You'll find out what's even more needed

When's their fiscal year end and start? Maybe they're waiting to pad their numbers lol. I can only imagine the amount of crystals they would make.

Doubt it's just RNG. I have 60 furnace pieces, 36 scanners, 20 discs and 8 lousy droid callers I've received from raids. And they are the most important. If you don't have them your stuck. At least with Rey it was furnace and then disc. Qgj it's droid caller and then.. Wait can't get droid callers.

The droid caller wall only affects some toons but the scanner wall blocks many more toons

All about $$$ i guess... sad

Exactly @BlowinLoadz. If furnaces are in shipments why not callers? Raid rewards should be split between getting discs and scanners. Furnace and callers via shipments and guild shop. Ftp can save up crystals by arena payouts and still buy a droid caller within a week

Scanners aren't in shipments

Jaflip

I don't get where the money angle is coming from though? I'm not spending money anything related to unobtainable gear. Furnaces I've bought 8 of them,... Where the profit there?

Jaflip

Fixed @BlowinLoadz.

It will be addressed in a coming update...or maybe we're looking into it soon...or even this issue is being discussed in the near future. Take your pick, it won't change.

That's true for g10 and 11, but droid callers are required for a significant number of current meta characters to reach g9. I'm more comfortable having slowed progress toward 10 and 11 than 9, particularly with the pre crafting phenomenon.

Jaflip

Lol @benacrow there's only so many of those answers I can take!! All I want are some answers. Not fluff that you've been looking into it months ago. MONTHS AGO. Its a big deal. Still is considering people are still having the same problems.

Jaflip

I agree @Riggin12 droid callers should be treated just like furnaces

It's being addressed I wrote a message to dev and they as looking in to this as this is a leading concern

The game team is looking at more ways that gear can be introduced to the game outside of just the Rancor Raid.

Great news, but they need to stop looking and start doing. It's not like putting callers in shipments is going to take more than 5 minutes.

The droid caller was the easiest to precraft, now it's impossible to get. The only way to go about getting one is to buy the parts in the guild shop

The entirety of this game is RNG. There is very little skill involved whatsoever. And on the rare occasion that RNG doesn't go your way you just refresh (arena) or restart (GW, Raids, events etc) until RNG does eventually go your way.

Why should gear be any different?

Excuse me if i'm mistaken but aren't droid callers just available in guildshipments? Why is that the hardest ever if you can just buy them easily with guild coins or are y'all talking about something else?

Buy them easily? With 16k guild coins?!

Even doing heroics as fast as we're able, guild coins take a lot of saving. The prices are way too high.

Fixed it for you, since you had the advantage of pre crafting

To underscore the point, there's nothing wrong with people who pre crafted. However to pretend "oh haha gear is equal for everyone rng blah blah" when you got to precraft is disingenuous at best... And at worst, well I won't say it outloud because we all know you get all tattletale-y about personal attacks.

It is all RNG.

I've received one full caller and 159+ caller salvage so far.

Still have half a dozen toons that need scanners.

Tin foil hat much?

//& yes I´m also lacking Droid Callers, but perhaps this forum would be more productive if the worst levels of stupidity was left at the door?
