Bistan\SRP Free Packs comments (MERGED THREADS)

LargeHawaiian

EDIT:

So, it seems like I might have overestimated CG's holiday spirit. The 15 shards was apparently only for the 1st day, and it looks like from now on we're only getting 4 shards a day to match the 4 blueprints for the U-Wing.

So much for 7* either of these guys mainly from this pack.

I'm gonna go cry a little......

Original Post:

So, now we have 2 free packs for each of the major OS's that will be given every day until the end of the year.

Android users get 4 U-Wing blueprints and 15 Scariff Rebel Pathfinder Shards

iOS users also get 4 U-Wing blueprints but get 15 Bistain Shards


Let's get the ship out of the way first

The U-Wing

4 blueprints a day for 17 days in total (including today) will equal 68 blueprints, enough to unlock the U-Wing and get started on getting it to 4*

Now the characters

Scariff Rebel Pathfinder and Bistain

Both will be given out in equal amounts, 15 shards a day for 17 days for a total of 255 shards for either character.

Previously when they were daily log-in characters and there respective month long events, you could get 64 shards for either one (Bistain for sure, kinda sure on SRP, could have been more)

So, 64 + 255 = 319 Shards (It takes 330 to get someone up to 7*)

For Android users, that means only farming 11 extra SRP shards to get him 7*

For iOS users, that means only buying 3 Bistain bundles in the Fleet shipment Store to get him 7*

Hope this can be some help to someone. If someone can confirm how many SRP shards they had at the end of his month long event, that'd be great.

Seriously, thanks CG!

WrathofCaedus

I was seriously gonna laugh hard if that was for android only, but I'm glad everyone got it.

Tomworcester

Even though I'm on Android and get the lesser of the two(pathfinder) I'm glad iOS got a better character since they got nothing the past couple of times

WrathofCaedus

who is the other pilot? Bistan, that's right..

Vinniarth

I've got 4 (!) shards o U-wing and 15 of Bistan...
Thanks.
I just hope it is not the compensation for K2-SO mess...

Hera1Syndulla

Thanks as well. This bumps my Scarif Rebel to 5 stars.

Xioborg

Found it, you have to go to store...

Tomworcester

This runs till the 30th incase anyone didn't notice so it's a pretty good gift

Rotor

SNAKEMAN

I second that. I really wouldn't call being given 4 blueprints to a ship as being "generous" or a "gift". Thanks regardless but it doesn't really do much.

Exactly my feellings... Not even a star of U-wing (very far from it), not a star of Bistan... Thanks anyway, but it is like you grandma gave you a dollar. 'Please, do not spend all at once'!

Sure thing! Just trying to keep the salt down.

It seems nobody saw that it goes from now till the 30th, everyday. So you get tons of shards. IOs gets Bistan, Android gets Scarif.
Bistan isn't really farmable so it is really good for IOs.

UltimateSeaDog

finally we get something!

I guess i belong to the unlucky ones. I just finished farming pathfinder and i receive pathfinder shards. By the way how are we supposed fo farm Bistan except for months?
I don t care of my free 7 * droid, he is useless in all the parts of the game but Bistan is useful because he is a pilot of a very good ship and pathfinder is easily farmable.

OMG -You get a 7 star character for free and we get a stool in the bed and you wanna complain about Rebel Pathfinder versus Bistan!

Yeah you got a pilot that is hardly farmable. Who cares of my useless robot?

Oootini

How many shards for the character will we get each day?

Nightlores

Really nice to get on the release date of Rogue One. A free pack every day, whoohoo thanks! I finally know what android users experience!

StrikeforceBlade

Maybe you should check out the threads and youtube videos about how to best use your new 7 star droid. No point me doing it!

And while you are at it check out the ship shipment store -you you will find Bistan in there regularly!

SecretAprentice

THANK YOU CG!

Acrofales

Thank you! I was 2 shards away from unlocking. So now I van play with the ship

NightfallsCurse

While I actually use the Scariff Rebel Pathfinder and not Bistan, I'm grateful for anything that's given to me, and I guess the fact that SRP is farmable and Bistan is not makes it a bit better in the long run. Thanks for the gift!
