    Even something like how they laid out raids would calm down the masses.
    We all want improvements to raids, GW and most importantly an adjustment to rewards/credits earned for lvl 80 players. I dread getting there (5000 xp left) and the ungodly amount of credit (packs) I will need to max out my roster.

    Although dude, I will say, getting an extra Omega piece every day is sort of the best.

    This game has becoming a bit of a bore trying to getting droid callers either fully crafted or salvages. So far I'm sitting at 18/50. I didn't precraft so seeing all the people in pvp that have either precrafted or are getting tons of salvages is at least good for them. For me personally, I'm starting to become really bored trying to "grind" gear that really is just based on RNG during raid/ spending tons of guild currency to purchase 50% of the salvages I need.

    Now that would be nice. Didn't have the characters for the empire event but I do have plenty of maxed out females. Really looking forward to it.

    I feel you. I'm in the same boat and it's sinking.

    It looks like many more players have 7*, g8+, max level toons than rebel toons. Would have preferred female event be the whale event, and rebel event be the easy event. But hey what can you do. Everyone should breeze through it given the advertised noob focus :)

    I would have rather the event been tuned for max level as well.

    Ya know...im so far behind...seems insurmountable...the gear wall...but idk more gear from events like imperal thing is good i think. How about randomly picking say 5gear pieces from raid reward list and letting player pick 2 from those 5? Amounts varying based on wether its salvage or completed piece?

    Has there always been a weekly update on Wednesdays? I was unaware. I wouldn't worry about a death spiral either way. Is your Girl-Power team ready? I'm excited for this next event, because I actually have heroes for it. :)

    Maybe, just maybe, like what if, what if there are some higher gear pieces in the reward for this Female Hero event?!

    Yes, weds and Friday's for months

    Got my first full one today from raid. Only another 15 or so to go :(

    I think I've gotten 7 salvage pieces for droid callers and I've completed 20+ raids T5+. It is getting fairly ridiculous. It wouldn't be a big deal if there weren't so many people with several of them.

    They need to focus down the raid rewards to have a chance at the coveted raid gear. Simming 100 battles for a few pieces of gear is already crazy, but entirely different than running 100+ raids for a small shot at getting some raid gear.

    So yeah, I feel you.

    I need level 3 and level 5 droid callers. I'm always running out of both.

    I still need mk5 furnaces for all my characters. If they don't do something soon to give us more ways to earn them, or vastly lower the crystal price when they appear in shipments.

    I feel for guys at that high level gear point. That's ridiculous. I'm still pulling my hair out using up 200+ energy plus 120 x2 @ 50 shards reach daily trying unsuccessfully to get 5/5 of xx blue salvage.

    So far, 22 raids, one caller and one scanner.
    Meanwhile, down on the farm....

    21 raids completed so far with 0 full drops, but managed to craft 1 Droid caller. Right now I need 5 more. It is not fun.
  • Options
    The droid caller situation is absolutely pathetic!!

    Furnace: 58/50
    Scanner: 46/50
    Design Tech: 38/50
    Droid Caller: 14/50

    The gear is the end game content. You aren't supposed to be gearing everyone you want. In other games you'd be stuck with fully geared 4 and 5 star toons doing some horrid grind for the sixth and seventh star.

    Except precrafting put people ahead so all this "end game content" talk is nonsense. They either need to do something about the droid caller situation to close the gap or leave it broken long enough to lose players.

    I'm so glad to see more people are posting about this. I've posted twice about it and both posts were deleted. I'm sorry but expecting to gear 1 toon a month is not acceptable.

    This. Pre craft has rendered all talk of end game content rubbish. I maintain the only way to fix the problem is to remove all raid requirements for all current gear tiers and then open up gear tier 12 as the new raid only tier. Then the gap can start closing and the enormous advantage pre crafters have will eventually go away.

    How is it entitlement to request that the devs find a way to fix a gear gap that they created when they allowed people to create what became raid gear before the raids were even released?

    The gear gap is between people doing heroics and people doing T6, which is intended.

    Precrafting is an excuse used by people not doing heroics. They think others in arena precrafted when most likely they didn't.
