Should I start over?
I'm in a November 2015 shard and took a 6 month break from the game and just started playing against last month, should I just make a new account
I have some good 7 star toons tho, QGJ, Yoda, etc all gear 8 and above QGJ is gear 10 almost Gear 11.

Do you care about arena rank? I doubt you will get a good rank unless you are willing to spend some money.
Have you checked out the "necessary" teams for the HAAT, are you close to any of them?
How is you pilot situation?
How about scoundrels?
There is a lot of new stuff and starting over will allow you to build a great roster from the ground up and not for you into a corner.
Good luck
Yeah I mean I have some good toons, just not the right squads, rank 700 in arena
in the last tier for ships
have boba 5 stars lando 6 stars st han i have decent scoundrels and dengar at 5 stars
Check the guides subforum - everything you need to know is right there
I took a 3 month break on December 2015 shard, but I came back right around the time of the EP event in August. I'd dropped down to around 400-500 in the arena, and now I'm ranking top 10 consistently, but 6 months is a much bigger gap considering the things that happened in the 6 months you were gone. It's certainly possible to work back up, but it did take me a while of everyone being gear capped and working up to them to get back to the top. If you did work back up it'd probably take at least 6 months, so it's probably better for you to go for a new account and start again. Plus a lot of characters that used to be very useful back in Nov 15, Dec 15, Jan 16 and Feb 16 are no longer very useful at all.
It's tedious to keep creating new accounts, though. And it's tedious to play with the starting characters again lol.
But if you dedicate yourself and dodge whales for a while, you can feel like a king for sure.
I used to say restarting is the only option, but it takes a long time to climb back. And the early game is very tedious, even if you rule the arena
I say adapt to the changes in the game with what you have, focus on what you want and keep playing that account.
It isn't too much to make up depending on your priorities. I am perfectly content never making the top 50 in arena, though I'd say it isn't an impossibility. It's only 5 toons, and while everyone else is maxed you have plenty of time to grow while they stay the same strength. I stay around or under rank 400 every day even though I only have two toons past gear IX (which is relatively abysmal).
Everything is faster, easier, and more fun in the high levels. Everyone is always chasing the meta. If they can catch up to the curve time and time again, you can too.
Stick with it, man. Only start over if your top priority is ruling the arena leaderboards, and even then it's a gamble cause you could get tossed in a super-whale server.
Of course for a few bucks you could buy R1 rebels and be ahead of everyone pretty fast
personally i've worked way too hard on some toons to just start over and get them again. granted there are toons i've dumped resources into i wish i hadn't but they just collect dust at the bottom of the pile no biggie.
Because your arena rank will be terrible, you are months behind everyone, and if you can't win in arena, you can't get crystals, you won't get refreshes, and you can't progress
1. Arena Rank - for crystals which can get you more gear and progress quicker than other people at your level.
2. Unlocking characters - because you want to collect them all and have as many characters available to work up as possible for different events/parts of the game etc.
If your answer is 1 then yes start over. If your answer is 2 then no, don't start over.
This is probably the best answer. Even though I don't chase the arena like a lot of people do, I typically come in somewhere around 130 - 85 on average. Crystals will help big time in getting ahead - but - you can always drop a few $$ on them.
I'm split down the middle on my game play and have 2 accounts. My main - I chase a lot of toons so I can have diversity and try to do all I can. My alt account is team oriented / specific. I have a full jawa team, ewoks, droids and am working on resistance and clones. I will say that having a team with synergy is cool and fun, but it WILL hold you back from progressing.
If he had to ask about starting over, then he probably cared more about arena rank than just collecting characters. At least that's how I saw it. That's the only reason to even think about it.
so tell me again why start over?? i'm not even in the top 200. i can't say where i am compared to others as i don't care about that. i don't refresh but i do progress and get crystals.
and i play multiple times each and every day.
what about number 3?? you don't care about arena rank or unlocking every single toon. you just want to unlock the ones you like??
