Lightspeed bundles suck

I’m not in anyway on the absolute worst end of the stick here, however I have both SLKR and Rey R8 so all this hype has no effect on me, so now a new player can be at my level which has taken years to get to in a day. Surely these new packs should at least grant some of the relic mats used for these characters back to keep existing players onside? I woke up this morning and felt like deleting the game as it was a major kick in the teeth. Hopefully there might be some more beneficial bundles out soon but who knows idk how many people are also in this position.

    You are right, kind of. You are free to feel like you got the short end of the stick but this is the first wave of the lightspeed bundles. If they do well and considering what i see from casual players, they will do great, other gls and legendaries will also find their way in to these packs.your day will come too.

    How's your mods? How long did it take to cultivate those mods?
    How do you think the mods are on the accounts that are starting and buying these kits?

    They'll have the GL's, they won't have the Zetas for quite a while, nor the mods to beat you.
    You HAVE to have catch up mechanics. Trying to recruit in a high end guild is quite difficult right now. The game needs fresh players and if you expect it to take them 7 years to accomplish what you have if you started Day 1, there's a near 0% chance the game will survive. That would hurt my teeth a lot more.

    Today is the day I lost my F2P tag...Oh well. I feel good saving a boat load of time for a minimal cost. However, I do feel bad for the individuals who put in the grind for these units for free. I would be upset too. At the end of the day. Everyone is going to get it as they continue to make packs like these.

    I'm going to have to diasagree, if you got Rey/ SLKR (what 2/3 years ago?) then you've benefitted from her in Raids, TBs and Conquest etc so the payback is quite high in terms of crystals and rewards in game. I left Rey behind as each new GL got released, I chased the new ones - I was always a year behind and that suited me to benefit from the accelerated drop rates for toons. Rey just never interested me until today - for $20 I went from 4/14 to 12/14 toons and only need to R7 Rey scav and BB8 - one week max and I'm farming LS tix for Rey and 7/8 GLs done.

    So thank you GL - we'll forgive your errors of judgment in conquest...well maybe

    I think they're kind of awesome. I'm at 10.9M GP and bought the Raddus one because my Carth, T3 and Lando were all still g12. Straight to r5 for them (and r3 to r5 for RP) was easily worth it. And then I took Lando to r6 so next time I can do that Combat Mission.

    I'm in the same boat almost exactly (would also get my L3 to R5). 5 relic levels for $5 per toon.... I'm tempted, but still so angry about Scamquest that I don't want to give CG any of my money.

    Feel the same bro I have Rey, SLKR and SK at R8 where is the £10 pack for us that contains the gear and relic mats that are the equivalent to what you get in those cheat packs ?

    The packs are fantastic. I own SKLR and was halfway to SK. I bought the Ray packs to get access to a GL I never planned to get. Still farming SK. Fantastic investment. Super stoked for the game today. There are a ton of packs I never buy and as with those I do not feel these are kick in the teeth to anyone. As always we have a choice to buy or not to buy.

    I would have paid quite a bit more money if it was all those characters to r8. But these packs just aren't for you, so just ignore them and move on with your life.

    It's perfectly fine for people to express their opinions and concerns. If these posts aren't for you, I guess you can ignore them and move on with your life.

    Even though I already have SLKR, Rey, SK and Raddus, the packs have been a boon for my guild. Many of my guildmates have bought the packs, and our GP has gone up a bit. I can understand people's frustration if they just unlocked Rey or SLKR, etc. in the recent past. I would probably be frustrated as well

    I don't like Rey and I don't have her. I like SLKR and I have him. I am going to get Rey just because of this bundle and I am going to see a lot more Rey's in TW and GaC.
    I am "proud" of the work I put into getting SLKR, it was a special day to get the unlock.
    I hope everyone that unlock SLKR with the bundle are very happy when they do, but it just a powerboost.
    Just as Rey will just be a boost for me and not a proud moment.

    The level of entry has increased though, think anyone have to give that new players that hoped to not spend a dime and compensate with skill or time investment will find themselves hopelessly behind those that spent just 10$. But again, there are many that proud to get things slower and fight against stronger opponents.

    I’m considering getting the packs (just unlocked SK so I’m good there). You still gotta do some work to take the grind to the finish line, but it’s a heck of a boon. I wasn’t particularly excited for Rey or SLKR but I wouldn’t mind adding them to the roster. I’ve got JML and JMK, and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone who got a nice score to get them.

    This isn’t pie. More for others doesn’t mean less for you.

    I never farmed any SLKR or Rey so these packs are amazing deals for me.

    You don't get BB8, GL Rey, Raddus, or Jedi Training Rey. You get the characters needed to complete these journeys at R5. To get GL Rey some will need to be improved to R7.

    You also don't get Finn or Vet Chewie.
