Will you be buying extra cantina refreshes to cover shard farming AND mods?

I already do 2 a day most days and can't afford to go to 400. So no change for me. I'll just have less characters to work on.

So you'll do more than 2 now? That's what you answered. If so, does the game give you enough crystals to cover more than two?
TBH it all depends on the drop rates for the rare level mods (Mod levels 1 and 2 I believe).
If I get a drop a day/2 days then I'll probably continue playing for mods. If it's a drop a week, then I'll forget it and just collect level 3 mods and move back to Cantina for characters I want.
Actually my main concern is not using Cantina Energy. It's how difficult GW becomes. Basically if you're not completing GW you're falling way way below the curb in terms of credits and training.
If mods stop me from completing GW. I'll probably just look for a new game.
I would love to collect many more of the cantina characters but what do you think is more important? Your 30th 7* character which will not be usable without mods,raidgear,farmable gear, omegas anyway or to buy more mods which might help you to improve your top characters?
I do think it's 100% messed up though that farming mods will use Catina energy. There are more players that still need Catina toons than players who don't. This decision made about Catina energy will only hinder those players that are still trying to farm toons. If anything mods should require different energy.
Also I think Catina energy should work like normal energy. One point per every 6 minutes and being able to collect extra energy at 1:00 pm, 7:00pm & 10:00pm. I still don't understand why we only get regular energy and not Catina energy as well. When we level up we get both. That extra Catina energy would come in so helpful..especially for the F2P community.
If anything this will make me spend less.
That would help a lot. Since cantina energy has to be split (or used in one place or the other) it should have the same rules as normal energy. Otherwise it's going going to create limitations that enrage more people enough to throw in the towel.
First raid pits guild members against each other and barely gives any sense of gear progression because of greedy scheme selling raid gear for gems.
Then all the mess with scoundrel challenge.
Added to the fact there's a massive credit inflation towards higher levels/ end game and the credit rewards from challenges, nodes and GW barely scale AT ALL.
Oh and GW now takes quite a while to complete (or for some people it's plain impossible).
Now the ONE area where I still had a sense of accomplishment (cantina shard farming), which has terrible regeneration and insane gem prices - is getting is being gutted too with yet another unbearable grind money grab.
Go to hell.
My gem pack is ending in 4 days. I'm almost certain i'm done with paying, since the rewards are null.
More importantly, will they change the guild Cantina day to add energy spent in Mod Battles? Currently reads "Spend X Energy in Cantina Battles". I have not seen any word of this.
I refuse to spend money until it becomes fun again and they add some level of competitiveness that is not guild mates fighting each other for Han shards. We need guild battles, we need a more competative arena structure, we need large monthly events that pit us against each others to earn rewards.
Only the first 2 tiers of mods will be available from mod battles, according to the dev post. This means that while mods may be worth gathering initially from the mod battles, they will likely release another raid or something else that allows you to farm the higher-tier mods a different way. Thus, while you may want to get some mods from the mod battles at first for your best characters, you'll probably end up grinding most of the mods you obtain from raiding or something else instead.
This is all just speculation, but don't cry over milk that hasn't been spilled yet.
Right now I do one refresh per week in cantina, tops. On sundays. Sometimes I don't even do that one.
I do not need shards. I do not need purples. I do not need anymore 7 star lvl 80 toons that are gear 7/8.
I need raid gear, stun guns, hair dryers, chedaks, mk 5 merr sonns. Does any of that $%# drop in cantina?
