7 points over, not gonna bother doing anything else conquest-related unless someone in my guild asks for help with figuring something out.
Was at 420/425 and got 2 feats when I was just trying to get 1. Honestly, still didn't find it at all difficult - I AM enjoying the fact Rey's actually useful for a mode though. She's so much more useful for most of these feats than any of the other GLs. Conquest and it's no death requirements has really removed any regret I had about going after her instead of Kylo.
I will get the max rewards (I need to do the 50 ds battles and then I have it) I'm 4.3M, I don't have any GL and I also don't have JKL so it's definitely not impossible.
I got the max crate as well, but really hope CG will rethink the disk swap costs at least. There’s plenty of things they can do to make Conquest all it can be but not budging on the disk removal cost is a faulty decision on CGs part.
However if they continue to think it’s a good idea to keep the cost, I’ve got some other awesome ideas they can implement to grief the players, for example charge 1 crystal every time you want to check out your character inventory or why not 40 credits when you start the game?
CG needs to change the disc cost. Kind of like with Deployable Cooling Systems, which was so good that people just settled into that strategy and never changed discs. They're encouraging that again because the currency is so valuable no one is going to want to swap discs and experiment. If it was free to change discs (or if I could reset them all once or twice a day or something), I'd still play around in the game mode. Can't though, so I won't bother.
I got enough points today to earn max rewards. I hoarded conquest currency unintentionally, bought the 20 CAT shards and have 300 conquest currency to spare.
Would love to experiment and try for a few more feats, but cannot afford to waste currency simply to get a bit more enjoyment out of the game.
Moving forward, equipping data disks will need to be done with long term planning.
While I didn’t hoard from last conquest I hadn’t seen a reason to splurge and spend all the conquest currency anyways. I don’t have beskar Mando so razor crest isn’t a priority. I managed to eek out the max rewards even though dcs is gone
Ill actually get it this time. I still dislike the game mode immensely, and things like Datadisk swapping taking currency is an actual slap in the face still. Some of the datadisks are incompatible with teams, or versus bosses, and such.
I really wish CG tried to make this game mode fun instead of a tedious grind.

I guess some people like being slapped then. I see this comment of "this" or "that" is a slap in the face, and yet they keep going.
Not saying I agree that swapping discs should cost currency.

Agreed. Imo it can be made much harder (even a new diff. above the current one), but also work aroundable and experimentable.
Finished it a couple of days ago. I was 2 points shy of the max reward with all event and sector feats complete, trying to figure out which remaining boss feat I could get (all of them were tough) when I saw a 1* node I'd never gotten back to in s3. What a relief, some of those boss feats are horribly mismatched to the squads you face.
I enjoy the progression part of Conquest quite a bit -- to the point where I'll buy a refresh just to keep playing. But the mop up at the end for some of the sector feats is pretty dull. I'd be all for reducing some of the sector feat requirements (win X battles) along with their reward if we could get a sixth sector, or more battles per sector. Stretch out the fun part, rein in the tedious part.
This pretty much sums it up. Really enjoyed the first couple of runs, but this one felt like more of a grind. Don't know if it's because of the changes or if the newness just wore off though.

Without Rey my alt would be box 6.

Is it possible to learn this power?
What about a scavenger that throws biffs?

Not only with Jedi...

Same. Wasn't all that hard but rather chorey.
A travelling scav that may or may not return can work good as well.

Just need 6
you can do it!
I’ve done this with absolutely no crystal refreshes.
Cant say it’s been a barrel of fun, but it’s nice to know that max rewards can be obtained without any use of the Crystal stash.
