Has anyone ever gotten an omega from cantina battles? I maybe have gotten one or two since omegas have first come out.
I’ve seen a lot of posts claiming that zetas are easier to get than omegas now and I think a quick fix ( the CG way) would be to just bump up the omega drop rate in cantina!!! Not sure what the current is but it has to be around 0.001%

What.
If by newish players you mean all players in the game...then sure?
Something like that, it’s laughably low and they’ve said as such. I can’t remember the post but they were added as a “surprise” kind of thing to the reward drops. Not to be expected ever, but appreciated when they did drop.
Must live under a rock. Even I know what kind of crunch omegas can be.
I think he was talking about it being a problem for everyone. Not just new players. Everyone feels the omega crunch. It be real
Except he said the opposite of that.
I just don't know if it was sarcasm or not.
The reality is this-
Even for a midgame player (level 75), and especially for endgamers, the omegas add up super fast. You are guaranteed at least 2 a day, my average being closer to 3.
For the sake of math, lets says 2 a day. It also takes me about 2 weeks to collect a full 20 zeta mats. In that time I have collected at least 28 omegas as well. That is absolute worse case.
So, every two weeks I can zeta ability a character, and have about 15 mats remaining, allowing for 3 full omega abilities.
That's pretty fast honestly.
I even had time to omega all 3 tuskens
I meant you lol. He said newish players and you said “what?”. As in you’re questioning that veteran players actually don’t feel the same omega crunch. Unless I’m misreading what you meant lol.
But yeah I think the best thing to do would be guarantee an omega when completing galactic war and guarantee an omega when completing the fleet challenges. So it would increase your income by a guaranteed 13 a week. That’s not a lot but would help players out tremendously without harming CG’s bottom line. IMO that is
They should add stun guns to TW rewards among with cuffs, holo projectors and carbantis.
I was wondering the same thing! One a day is guaranteed from daily challenges, but a second one?
What?
No.
He said only new players feel a crunch. I'm questioning that statement.
Everyone who claims that it is impossible to run low on those items simply hasn’t reached the point when it happens yet.
Same with omegas.
As for @Rekrn123 ‘s advice, that’s great. My last 3 character unlocks were GBA, Padme and Malak. You’re quite right, I won’t bother sticking omegas on them.
But since they increased the number of Zetas we get in the ship challenge that's changed, now so many omegas are used up with applying Zetas that it's really hard to even apply omegas to any abilities as the balance is out.
Sure you can still apply omegas as before but then you will be sitting with Zetas and no omegas to apply it.
Going to take a wild guess here - happy for you to correct me if I’m wrong @Ruivussan
At 5.1M GP but only 62 zetas, I reckon you must be sitting on a sizeable stash of zeta mats. 60+? But if a new toon dropped that needed 3 zetas instantly, would you have the spare omegas to equip them? Bear in mind you’d need more than just the 13 per zeta, as all their non zeta abilities need omegas too.
The most recent change to the ship challenge, will now raise the question more, as omegas are a huge part of the decision to zeta and could be used up quickly if the player is not paying close attention.
Only time will tell as this plays out.
When farming a 16 energy char and using all the 100 crystal Cantina energy refreshes I occasionally get 2 in a week.
Yeah that’s exactly what I meant lol.
Eh...they’ve been pretty bad at alleviating old bottlenecks once new ones come along. Omegas the most in my opinion.
