Title says it all. Can we get some crazy one time event, something from the vault, with 10 omegas as a reward? (Alternatively, can we get them added in to the Training Droids event at say 1-3 a try?) I'd love to use this awesome Chewy you've gave us, but my 43 zetas are useless without 26 omegas. Oh and his abilities need them too..... Thanks.

I hate when Im zeta ready and forget it needs omegas too....
But those are for Bossk only... I need that 7* chewie
You can tell who doesn’t have a strong GP by how many omegas they have. Whenever somebody mentions they have enough omegas it tells you that they suck at TW 100%.
It would be nice if Omegas were a bit more available. For a while I wasn't having an issue, but then I started adding omegas to abilities and dropping zetas. At my 15th Zeta I was running down to zero on them and keep doing that.
I have to purposely go out of my way to not use them for a couple weeks if I have an upcoming zeta happening. They are the biggest crunch, though credits is a close second I think.
I keep hearing in response that "you don't have to omega every toon" and while I agree with that, the problem with the omega crunch is the growing reliance on full squads (FO, NS, BH etc) to compete in certain parts of the game. A year ago it was more about the best individual toons rather than squads.
The Sith Raid made this even harder where you need to have your squads omega'd to get a half decent result. Then TW is constantly putting pressure on squad requirements to make those walls of ideal squads.
More and more it's not about choosing a single toon to put omegas on, it's which squads to put omegas on. Throw in the increase of toons with 5 abilities and we could be talking 25-30+ for an individual, but 150+ for a functional squad in certain instances.
That has definitely created a crunch that IMO warrants a more thought out response than "you don't need to omega every toon".
That way you can make people farm better toons for those events and increase the rewards.
An omega heist would be a nice addition as well since we can never have enough.
If gearing successful STR squads, successful LS/DS TB squads, successful TW squads that require the opponent squads to die 5 or more times holding defense, or getting a Legendary toon is wasteful, then I am guilty of it.
The success of my guild and my ability to grow and use new squads outweighs me needing to horde. There is no catchup button like WoW. When I read Git Gudder and I don’t have a problem with my omegas, I tend to agree Olddumper’s assessment.
There are ways around any crunch.
That being said, we have seen a lot of gear love going on with various nee sources being offered. With any hope we will see the same thing start to happen to ability materials.
Wow, they refunded ALL your Old Daka investment! Nice work! 😂
This is a great explanation of why the crunch is broke. Zeta mats have no value to me anymore because I simply can’t keep pace with the omega.
How did you ever manage to horde 4 toons worth of omega mats?
It was said well be a post earlier in this thread, we are building squads not toons. 177 feels like a lot of omegas because that is like 5 months worth of farming but if you want to build a whole squad for Tw that’s about how many it takes.
Between Jango and chewie alone it’s 87 omega mats.
I dont spend on anything I dont need. At this point I will probably spend one zeta and 2 omegas, for something I want, anything else is reserved for making a team i need or actively use better, but even then I hesitate to make sure it's a "necessity".
I am not as bad as others I know. I hoard to spend, others hoard to save. Everyone just needs to find their own balance.
*not seeing the sarcasm pointing out that 177 omega mats is hardly anything.
I very rarely drop below 80, unless I want to. So that's more than enough to stay flexible.
I never have enough omegas lol but they are showing up more. Those crazy mythics, weekly shipments.
I like that omegas are kind of the stranglehold for zetas. But more is always nice! But you can get some. Like the omega events today - it may be worth it to refresh that tier. You can buy them in fleet shop - but let’s be serious we don’t even want to buy ships in fleet lol
TW does help. It’s a nice splurge of them.
TW would be the perfect place for them. The winning guild should get 10 more or so at the highest go bracket and scale down from there.
