I am FTP most of the time on this game but do buy some crystals now and then, I have some spare crystals now and do refresh daily too, so curious if it is worth buying a few packs
Is the new Rancor Raid Mega Booster Pack worth it??? 160 votes
Yeah i forgot Akbar sorry but doesn't change too much, with arena shipments you can farm it easily if you really want it and i dont see much Akbars in arena/GW. I doubt it will be so essential in rancor task and even if so arena is the easiest way to get it.
RG shards are the only thing worthwhile.... maybe for new people with none of those toons it would be worth it??? But kind of a slap to the rest of us.... Really odd to pick her to be there.
And if i remember correctly (passed several months lol) RG is one of the characters you obtain for free at the start of the game (as well as CHewie, JC and so) so even less worth
Yeah it's not worth it. Most packs they offer aren't worth it. Only droid pack is worth it.
Starter pack used to be good but they changed it, can't remember the exact change, but they swapped out Dooku/Oppress for Greedo? or something. I mean yeah Greedo is worth the $5 cost, but if you look at what they've done, they took out two of the more important/viable characters and replaced them with one you won't use. So you're not getting anywhere near the same value. ( + It actually kind of screws you if you're a newbie, and decide to invest in Greedo after buying the pack)
My son spotted it yesterday on his phone and thought it said $4.99 (he missed the "5" in front of the $54.99) - at $4.99 it was close to being a decent value - even though a great many f2p have Lumi.
At 10 times that price? lol. To the OP - thank you for being smart enough to check on the forums first. If more players did this, EA would actually have to stop trying to rip players off - only to have them come here later and realize it.

As always, not a bad prize but way too many crystals. In shipments, 1 shard = 50 crystals. 20 would be 1000 crystals. 22 is 1100. So for an additional 225 crystals you get 96k credits and 2 ability mats. They even say "use the mats wisely" akin to your grandmother giving you a dollar for your birthday and telling you not to spend it all in one place.
There's no discount in this pack. It's just conveniently packaged in one place. Not to mention it's a vast array of easily farmable toons with 98% guarantee you won't get who you're really after.
As usual the packs are a blatant rip off and offer close to zero value.
I think packs are aimed at people who either don't care about money at all or who fail at math horribly.

Yep. And he sat on everyone's bench for months collecting dust until his buff and now he's all over the place, LOL!
I believe he is asking about the pack with the shards not the one with Akbar. The answer is still no it's a horrible pack and you only get 22 shards randomly from a combination of them. ie. 10 Ray, 12 Ewok definitely not worth it.
If they offered Rey at 4* and some shards instead of Lumi I'd seriously consider getting the pack. But you're essentially getting a very small push on RG and Ackbar with a long way to go to make them viable at end game/arenas. For $60 not worth it all IMO. And few don't already have Lumi at max or well on their way, so she's an odd choice.
Lumi is a painfully easy farm that just about everyone already has, so there's some shards.
Everyone already has RG, so what you're paying for is his shards and that's really all the deal has going for it.
Basically, it's the worst deal for what you're getting when you consider how easy it is to access what they're offering... Especially when combined with RG's node in Cantina.

The only upside to this is that you can almost guarantee there are no nerfs for RG coming any time soon, because the outrage after releasing this pack right now, for THAT price while he's the FOTM and then nerfing him soon after would be... Glorious. : )

Ah! My mistake. And yes, I've already purchase one shard pack and yes - not worth it. Like everything else, it's way too random.

Agreed. Akbar is available in arena shipments and lumi, like you said, is probably one of the easiest toons to level.
So essentially, you're paying $60 for a 1* RG (2* with the shards ) Chrystal's and credits.
No thank you.
They must be joking, it's a terrible deal

This pack is pitiful.
