So according to the new character release cadence, a toon will end up in one of the following locations:
•Shipment
•Hard Node
•Cantina Node
Sounds solid right? Finally! We get some more GW, arena, and maybe even cantina shipment characters! Amazing news! But nope...
If we all are honest with ourselves, the developers will most likely out these toons into crystal shipments, or hard nodes. Cantina Node might happen if we're lucky or if the toon is bad. I think it's safe to say we would be in paradise if a toon was added to Cantina/Arena/GW, ect. Shipments.
Okay, so with that out of the way, I want to focus on Shoretrooper:
Shoretrooper shards have now been added to the Military Might Event! And he's in a hard node! Since he's farmable and rewarded in a bimonthly event, he must be 50 crystals per shard, right? Wrong. Still 80 per shard.
I get that this is a freemium game and all, I'm just disappointed in the crystal shipments. In a way, we never left the Chromium/Shipment Stage of the game.

Wow. He's farmable in Fleet Shipments, why 80 per shard in Crystal shipments?
Can't afford it anyway while leveling, just wanted to know.
Yes
You're correct.
Probably oversight tbh. Kit Fisto was left at 80 per for months after he went to a Cantina node before it was finally fixed.
I don't think the "for crystal shipments" are the final destination when they talk about being moved to nodes/shipments. Baze will eventually cycle out of that when he enters a node or other store. He'll probably have a longer time in there than Krennic/Deathtrooper will, because he's amazing and they arent. Like how Rex and Sun Fac stayed in shipments longer.
The problem is with the "slow farming." I have simmed the six battles for FOTP every day for three months. I do it the first moment I log in each day. It takes care of my LS battles and hard battles. I am still under five stars. I can only imagine, if I were f2p, saving crystals from dailies, it would take even longer to farm these shipment dropped characters. It isn't viable for f2p. But cantina store, GW, arena store, even fleet store- these are f2p viable. And besides fleet store (which, come on, if you aren't using that primarily to purchase zetas, what are you doing?), these other places haven't seen a new toon in months.
Please don't give them any ideas...
Quickly is the last thing I expected lol, but to be fair, a fourth of a year is a while.
F2P has plenty of characters available. Keep premium toons premium. If you get everything the p2p get, then you won't be able to post on here how you are F2P and 1st in arena
There will be more toons added FYI
Like 90% of everyone, I got Sid from arena shipments. It took a while, but I got 10 shards every day for 33 days. I knew exactly when I would have him 7*. And he was a "new" toon. If EA is going to release tons of new toons, why can't they put one in a f2p location? Does every new toon have to be p2p exclusive? The game certainly didn't start out like that.
Luckily I have been playing over a year and I have a decent inventory, but I'd like a little more access to newer toons. And I'm not f2p. I spend about 50 a month, not yet regrettably.
Being able to unlock them would be nice
I'm a bit OCD about this. I like my characters to be maxed level and stars. I do run a 3* Shore for his bullseye. But you can't run them in heroic raids if they aren't.
Can't argue with that. I would like a Jyn & Chirrut of my own as well.
I bought an 8pack this morning. So he's there. But now all the other Rogue One characters are there so he might show up less. Which sux because I'm only 3 shards from making him 6-star.
Exactly i'm so close to Finishing him upa nd I was worried he wasnt there anymore, especially since his find info doesnt show him up there anymore
