Are they still in shipments after the update or have they been replaced by droid callers now? And you have to wait 6 weeks to get A CHANCE at getting a furnace as f2p in the next 2 weeks? So 2 months i should wait to upgrade my Han/Leia who need a furnace each? If someone confirms this is true, im outta here, this is not what i signed up for. All the whales have all the furnaces they need now and soon, droid callers and scanners too (so of course they rejoice at the droid callers being in shipments instead). This trash solution to pre-craft only applies more brakes to f2p and frankly, i've had enough. So...can anyone confirm this?

They didn't take furnaces or salvages out of raids
On the other hand, you should be gaining mats from raiding, and guild currency. So while it may be slow going, you can get STHan and Leia eventually (which is the point of being ftp).
Also, you must have heroes that require droid callers (qgj, RG, AA, etc.).
The raid gear system is utter garbage. Cycling in each of the raid items in shipments every two weeks is just trash (not utter garbage).
Nerfin is what nerfin does
Lol!
They did not release droid callers with this update, this wasn't the aim. Well they did, but only to the whales. The real target of this update is to put EVEN MORE brakes to f2p, this time to the 'furnace buying' situation. Sooner or later, everyone will realize this. Dunno for me this is the lowest low so far. Out of all the things they did, this is by far the worst thing they could of done...they put brakes on f2p yet at the same time create huge disparity between f2p and whales by releasing droid callers and scanners in shipments.
Joy to the whales, the Zam has come...

My Rey and QGJ are maxed, my STHan and Phasma getting there without needing any more raid-only gear, and my RG will only need a scanner at G11. I have a leftover scanner sitting around that I am giving to Teebo when I finally work him up. Also saving up for Nubian disc for GS if I don't win it outright after today's raid results. Don't think this is half bad for no money.
Hmm. My brakes don't seem to be working. Hope I don't crash into any trees - or Rancors!
F2Ps having a difficult time with this, sorry that your luck isn't panning out as well as mine. But that is the unfortunate reality - nothing is free. Since money isn't something you're going to part with, it may as well be time, effort and a bit of sanity.
If the furnaces are still in and they rotate the other gear then that is fine. But from what i understand furnaces have been replaced by droid callers for the next 2 weeks. Etc...
I make top 10 on my server because I save for raid gear in shipments and the guild store. My entire team is gear 9 and above while everyone else is left at gear 8.
I don't like the current raid system, but I work with it and it does work to my advantage, and I'm planning ahead with the new system. I can't get furnaces for a while so I'll buy the salvage in the guild store. Just something to think about guys and gals
