    I see posts like this all the time, and its baffling. Like everyone has been playing for four years and has everything.

    I agree. I have been playing ftp for over 4 years, and I can tell you that it would take over a year to build up to one GL. Most people who make comments like this have no idea what it’s like to farm ftp in this game. It’s that same people that thought GAS coming back early was going to flood the arena with FTP 7* GAS teams.

    Arena has been flooded with 7* GAS teams lately, nothing to do with money spent at this point.

    100% anecdotally untrue

    I’m not even close to getting them, but the majority of those I compete with in arena are.

    Arena will always be the domain of the whales. I was referring to GAC.

    You mean there are other game modes in SWGOH? It isn't all about squad arena?

    You're right, I forgot. Anything that doesn't take #1 in squad arena is USELESS TRASH.

    Carry on.

    OP: The kind of anxiety you're feeling is exactly what games like this try to foster. "Keep up, keep up! Spend!" Luckily the requirements have been getting so steep that the lag between character release and a good portion of the playbase having those characters keeps getting longer. So no need to panic, you'll probably just lose the odd GAC here and there as a result.

    GAS came back in December. It’s now the end of March...

    Plus I wouldn’t say there’s a flood of FTP 7* Skywalkers. There were around 50 in my shard in December. Now there’s about 70. And my 110mil guild has exactly one. Mine.

    Edit- and I had to pass up farming Old Republic, D Revan, Malak, and any farming for GLs in order to get him there.

  • GAC is not a concern. You have to relic 12 characters (none of which are meta) just to unlock, them relic and add 6 zetas to the GL. The GP fluff is off the chart.

    If you get matched with someone who has this much fluff when you don’t the rest of your roster will dwarf your opponent.
  • It’s always funny when people say: “WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?” ...

    I don’t know .. like, maybe for the devs to throw the casual player a bone for once just create ACTUAL CONTENT that can be enjoyed by everyone.. and not just release more bait for whales/krakens...

    Carry on.

    Of course there are other game modes, captain obvious twins.

    Being competitive enough to get crystals as an FTP allows you to be competitive in all other modes of the game.

    How's this for obvious - you are once again getting angry just to be angry.

    Whales always had an edge over FTP in Squad Arena. That's not something new that is being introduced with the GLs. The players that spend money (and a few F2P) get the meta first and get the benefits of more crystals upfront. The rest of the F2P get the meta a little later and then can get crystals. Just focus on ships in the meantime.

    But Jarvind's original point is still true. The majority of the people you'll be facing in other game modes are likely in the same boat as you.

    Yep, my post was seething with anger, I’m busted, good eye LOL

    Jarvind’s post that I responded to mentioned nothing of other game modes.

    It’s obvious GAC won’t be affected as much as arena and these GLs will make arena much different than in the past, at least in my arena.

    There will be counters available I'm pretty sure. CG will then nerf said counters. People quit and the poor **** that saved for these cool toons will be forced to fight others that have them because other normal folk will be gone. The circle will continue.

    Yeah they counter each other and probably nothing in between. They better!

    I found one, and it predicts 2 counters!ei19jpmqjy90.jpg

    I'm actually surprised nobody is talking about the possible repercussions these 2 toons may bring to the game. Hard to say right now but with them being so hard to obtain I wonder how many people will just quit playing entirely.

    What would be the point of discussion? No one knows how many people will quit and there's nothing to be done even if we did know.

    Granted, that's never stopped people here from wild baseless speculation before.

    R7 GAS doesnt have a counter, theres even videoams where underleveled and 5* gass can wipe out relic squads with defense mods

    Lmao idk what arena shard your in but in mine basically all of top 35 is r7 with all five clones also r7 an i use a dr malak basti han chewy team an i take 1st every day. An during other ppls po they can take down same full r7 teams with normal dr team. That dont even include the padme counters tht ppl use. So maybe u better chck youtube again for all the vids tht shows what I just mentioned. Maybe ur only watching the gas beats ??? vids and not the ??? beats r7 gas vids.

    i am no whale but am an endgame player, and i am at 11/13 for Gley with BB8 and Scav at R3/4, just farming the rest of the relic pieces. I have spent less than $100 on Resistance. it was totally possible to prepare for this while minimally spending though admittedly hoarding helped lol

    Let's agree to not call her Gley. Terrible nickname.
