I have two actually - 1 is not farming Rey earlier, she is still sitting at 4* for me and I see a loooong grind ahead even with Guild shards.
The biggest one I just did and it is seriously bumming me out! I got a $50 iTunes gift card from work, had a big month. I bought the May the 4th pack and wanted to see what the Chromiums were all about as I was F2P besides Ewoks (see where this is going???) and I get a whole bunch of characters that I can never ever level up!!!
I got some cool ones - I now have a 3* Sun Fac, 4* Aayla and a 4* Leia. None of which I can use at those levels. Got a 2* Fisto too along with a bunch of Maul shards but no Maul. Oh - got Cad Bane since I had a bunch of shards from the monthly log in. Again, cant use him.
I could have been stocked with crystals for a long time but no... I was stupid (they censor 5tupid?). I was hoping for Rey or at least somebody I could farm.
The best/worst part which is one reason I did it? My kids play this game and they bought a single Chromium with the 500 crystal bonus. They got a full 4* Old Ben!! I would LOVE him on my team and I can farm him afterwards.
Oh well - $50 gone in no time flat with really nothing at all to show for it.

It's ran on a crack dealer business plan. Give em a taste for free & after they're in to it... go after the wallets.
A picture is worth 1000 words. Sad thing is I actually will get him to gear 9 which requires a stun gun. Just because I can. Hells, Ive wasted so many resources on him getting him to 7*, max lvl and max abilities, I may as well finish him off and hold him as a trophy.
What was you thinking
@Akster
Hey man,
You got yourself a good tank for that Imperial team you always wanted. I am just glad storm trooper's arnt DPS or theyd have a 90% miss chance
2. Putting resources into every character I got early on
3. Ignoring gear early on since I didn't know its signficance
Totally reasonable in my opinion.
Lol mine is exactly the same. 25 stun guns away from gear 9 because I can!
2. Not using Cantina refreshes early-game
3. Not focusing on a synergized team early enough (still not done with one, ugh)
He is at least useful to survive 2 hits from the rancor as part of my latter teams =P.
@Toukai Except he is not a tank, he has incredibly low hp and protection. 11624 hp and 5278 protection atm. he is incredibly weak even on a full empire team, but ah well. He is shiny.
My empire characters are basically the reason I do 1/3 of my guildmates damage in raids and get much much lower rewards, no levelled rey, gs, phasma, poggle etc =(
Ok I'm a bit behind on you. I'm level 77 as well but haven't taken him there yet,
I want to start a thread for "Characters you've invested way too much in" but I'm waiting for gear 9. I think I may put him in my arena team for fun as well I have
77 Rex gear 9, 7 star
77 Fives, gear 9, 7 star
77 Clone Sarge gear 9, 7 star
77 Plo Koon gear 9, 7 star
77 RG, gear 8, 5 star
But Stormtrooper more closely resembles clones and still taunts.
Wellll....with the Rg nerfs.....;) No...just no. He shall stay relegated to my suicide squads, along with general veers, moff and snowtrooper.
So you're planning an Empire team? I have all 7 of them very far along, can't wait! Veers is almost at 6*
Not pre-crafting. I could have made 4 or 5 Droid Callers.
I even read the boards THE WHOLE DAY of the update, but it didn't sink in what was actually happening.
Was really close to quitting when I found out my error.
at least stormtroopers look way cool
Dude i laughed...But i am also sorry for you and sorry that i laughed.
He is incredibly squishy and I dies straight away to the rancors AoE I think, I may be remembering wrong but either way dies too fast. His basic attack crits for around 5k so his damage is 'ok', assuming all your empire allies are alive. Never decided to use his intimidate to try and offence down the rancor, on the low chance of it actually hitting, my team will be wiped out too quickly anyway.
Also since leader abilities are broken, all empire characters are abysmally slow and will die before they get many hits off and tarkin can not increase it with his leader.
Out of all the empire characters, Tarkin is the only one that seems to have 'potential', but since all the rest of the empire are terrible except for maybe vader, it does not help much.
