    I just realized he is the only FTP or non whale toon that has some type of anti evasion abillities. It would be a big slap in the face if he ****. I'm not saying he should he OP but needs to be better then say Magmatrooper.

    If he isn't meta changing then I'll be pretty PO'd. Dodge has been here for 3 almost 4 months and we need something new.

    Costly too. Guild Shipments is no joke, that's a rough spot to buy him in.

    I'm curious to know why 15h event? Couldn't it be at least 24h? If the event comes out while you sleep and you have no time to play before you go to work, you would come home and the event will be gone.

    He's got pretty low potency, so will be interesting to see if tenacity down ever actually sticks...

    @EA_Jesse, I really appreciate doing a client restart in the middle of my arena time and taking minutes to restart, way to keep messing up. Don't you guys think it would be brighter to do it at the bottom of the hour instead of near the top. A reply would be nice.

    Once i finish Luke there wasn't really anyone other to buy shards for other than JE. Probably use them on Dengar now. Buying raid gear with guild coins takes forever. Id rather try to win them in raids. You know how that is nebby.

    Yep. He must be extremely good if they want to see me spending any guild currency on him..

    Anyone else think the increased price of the scanner compared with the caller (1,400) plus the horrible RNG is just adding insult to injury?

    Yep thought all those gears would be at 1,400.

    I agree completely. For it to be more expensive that the furnace even, especially given it's easiest to get the other salvage for (no purples and mostly just gray gear), for it to be 600 more than a furnace is inexcusable. It's a complete money grab with no explanation, and also proves what I've long suspected which is that scanners are much rarer than any of the other raid gear despite almost every character needing them.

    For example, I've done enough heroics to unlock Han and have 25 shards towards 6*, and I've only earned a total of 74 scanner salvage and no fulls in all that time. I've got over a dozen character gear locked by scanners as a result.

    Can a dev please comment on why the cost is so much higher?

    Well, considering I only saw two callers in two weeks.....then again I only did the 50 refreshes each day.

    It's really sad that we have to rely on RNG for a chance to spend money.
  • Options
    man... Anakin can hit hard now. now just to find the right synergy.
  • Options
    Lol @EA_Jesse ... Raising Scanners to 2205 after Furances and Droid Callers were 1400? Setting a precedent and then boosting the cost on literally the same "level" item? The greed is real!

    My guess is is another Magmatrooper

    Why is Dengar not in Chrom but instead in Guild Store?

    That's not what @EA_Jesse posted previously.

    Reported by one of my guild members, that makes it the most expensive piece by far, several hundred over the 1,400 caller and the similarly priced furnace

    That sucks though the furnace started at 2500 then got reduced

    I see no event as promised, but my guildmates have the event. FYI. Anyhow, I don't have enough scoundrels to play anyhow.

    As expensive as the scanners are they might as well give them a permanent spot in shipments for two weeks. No way am I spending crystals refreshing then that many more if one actually shows up.

    Wow.
