Conquest hard mode

Prev13456789
So who’s going to do hard mode this time? And what’s your GP? I’m doing it with a flat 4 mil, and I think I’ll get smacked. But it will be interesting to see how the difficulty is.

  • I'm going to give it a go. I have a GL (SEE) and it may be that I'm far more reliant on a smaller pool of characters than I used for the normal version. As such, I'd imagine progress will be slower but I'm definitely going to give it a try.

    I'm at 5 Mill GP by the way.

    5.5 with JML on the way to SLKR. I think it will be challenging, but I do anticipate earning the 1st crate.

    6.8m gp, 2 gls. Certainly gonna try this. I don't expect to max it, but it's gonna be more enjoyable for me as normal was a cake walk.

    I think anyone who qualifies and got max rewards from normal should give it a try. Getting the first crate in 2 weeks should be absolutely doable. It's also free/extra so there is not much loss.

    My thinking is: The first two sectors will be difficult as you start with zero data disks. Once you get clear of those two sectors, you should have some good or half decent data disks then go back and clean up the first two sectors feats or carry on and try to reach s5. I reckon that my SLKR, Padme, and CLS teams will do most of the hard work, and with good RNG when it comes to datadisks and boost my G12 roster’s power.

    It starts at R4. So G12 toons may struggle without good data disks.

    I’m hoping to reach T3 chest rewards, minimum. Anything better is a bonus.

    i'm not sure if I can handle Hard Mode with my roster. Only got 3.5m GP & got max rewards on normal mode.
    Though, the first crate is as good as the max crate in Normal mode

    I don’t quite share this view that “anyone” should try hard mode (qualify and reaching max reward on normal implied). The data disks were numerous upon reaching sector 4 & 5 and could be a big part of the success for many players in the normal mode. Without these disks some of the players could struggle quite a bit even though they reached max crate in Normal. I don’t want anyone to come back and say, “I tried hard and it is ridiculous and I cannot even earn a crate. Thanks a lot Kyno!” No one knows yet what the tuning will be for the event so it could be a difficult choice for some. That said, I do believe GL owners “should” be fine to try hard.

    For those on the fence between Normal & Hard: with 2 weeks to compete in it, maybe wait just a bit (maybe a day) before deciding which mode you want to try. Ask your guildmates, check out some videos from other players etc. I offer this advice because I want the player base to maximize the rewards earned. While this event may be “free,” falling behind on rewards will still be detrimental for you in the long run and your enjoyment of the game will go down from such “failure.”

    Don’t we keep last conquest data disks we didn’t use?

    Data disks and consumables are reset to 0.
  • With 3.5m you cannot enter hard mode, you need 4m minimum.

    I think you need 4m GP minimum to be able to join hard mode. Not 100% sure as it may be just a recommendation.

    Personally I think the limit based on GP is stupid. I doubt you would be able to use over half, maybe three quarters at a push of your whole GP roster. I for one, wouldn’t be using my G9 Phoenix team for example. I doubt all of 4m of most players would be meta or useful, and you don’t even use ships.
  • I have 4 mil but a pretty stacked roster, hoping to get 2 crate
  • I'll try hard mode. If I get the first crate or better, I'll keep doing it in the future. If I can't, next time I'll go back to normal. So I'm taking this one as a test.
    5M gp approximately.

    The rewards from hard first crate is better than what you get with the final normal crate.

    Ah even better then. No choice to make here. I will just have fun with the normal mode then :)

    Dont mention ships... It might give CG ideas about adding them into conquest...

    Why shouldn't they be? If Conquest is designed to be a test/use of our full roster, it would make sense that it include our entire roster.

    I've forgotten the rewards breakdown, is tier 1 crate on hard better than max rewards on normal?
  • is there still a GP minimum of 4 mil to be able to do hard mode? I am at 3.7 mil and had no issues getting full rewards on Normal and I have some strong teams including a GL

    It's basically the same with some more credits - T2 on hard mode is where it actually gets better.

    I would try to see if you are close to any upgrades and/or ship promotions. I was 3.9 and got myself to 4.1 just with available upgrades.

    Your move did not have GAC implications like it would for Drakkaan. Currently they are Div 3 (below 3.8M), but would bump up to Div 2. Just a thought. Definitely move as you see fit @Drakkaan

    Pretty sure its a 3 mil req and a 4 mil recommendation.
