First time poster on this GoH forum.
So far, GoH has been fun. I love getting a new toon, and then gearing him/her up. (I'm lvl 63)
But now, I'm finally irked enough to post.
I hit the first purple gears... need 20 of each to make one item... I'm like, uhhh, okay I'll roll with it.
But now, I'm at the point where we need 50 of these syringes (and cuffs, and sensor arrays) for one item. So between Dooku and Sidious, I need 200 of those syringes to upgrade them again. (I'm quivering with fear that when I hit 65 and get Daka and Lumi up a level, I'll see that they each need 100 of those syringes as well...)
At first, I tried to shake it off and go farm the nodes for that gear. As of now I think I've refilled 5 times (clicking on Sim 60 times) and gotten 3 syringes. WTH are you kidding me? Sure I understand statistics, and this is a miniscule sample size, but if it's even close to this, then it's going to take me 1-2+ months to get 4 pieces of gear.
CG put the purple sensor array in the Tier III STR challenge, thank goodness (Tier II had the IV purple laptops). Why can't the other two challenges also have a /20 purple item in Tier II and a /50 purple item in Tier III? Please for the love of all that's decent CG, please make the 50 item gear more accessible, esp with such terrible drop rates.

And yes Lumi needs the syringes as well. I'm not sure about Daka.
I'm hitting level 66 tomorrow and I have 15 of the 200 I need for tomorrow
What? We aren't talking about ability mats. We are talking about the purple agility syringes.
What I'm saying is, if they introduce an increased drop rate for all players, then nobody is getting an advantage. Which makes it questionable why anybody would want a higher drop rate in the first place.
In the end, the slowness of farming gear fills two purposes:
1) A slow grind feels more rewarding than a quick grind when you're done.
2) This pacing means that players need to put some serious thought into which toons to level up, and plan ahead.
So basically your excuse is due to lack of content, let's prolong farming. So from that perspective, why not include 200 mat items so they only have to update content once every 6 months?
I think many of us are longing for some new content. I for one would love that.
That's basically in every game (slow grinding experience). If it didn't frustrate enough, it wouldn't feel like an achievement.
Also I got 1 of the windblower mats to 50 and equipped it on my Sidious so far, took about 5 days. It's not impossible if you spend all energy to it but I rather unlock more toons so you can take it slow on those 50 mats.
This is ridiculous though. If they wanted to slow people down put the mats on the hard battles where you can only farm 3 times per day before paying to try an additional 3 times. When a person pays to refill their energy 3, 4, 5 times and hardly has anything to show for it that is just discouraging. "Hey, I got 5 of those 50/100 mats I needed. It cost me $20 in energy, but I got 5!"
Thanks for posting.
I would disagree with your #1. The grind is too slow and when you're done, it won't feel rewarding, it'll feel "<insert curse word>, it's about time". There's a big difference there.
Also, these /50 purple are that pretty mediocre relative to the amount of work that's required to make them. The /50 syringe --> +25 Agility
Mk1 carbanti sensor array (which is infinitely easier to grind) --> +25 Strength, +25 Agility, +25 Intelligence
Ummm, seriously? I want to just put 6 of those carbanti sensor arrays in my toons
So if they want to make it feel rewarding, make the gear actually do something awesome.
Even if they add /50 Agi and Int purple gear to the Tier III challenges, it will still take a long time to get 400 of those syringes - Dooku, Sid and Lumi each need 100, JC needs 50, Phasma needs 50 (why?!?!? Her primary stat is Str). They didn't need to make it /50; even /30 each will still take a very long time, like 1-2 months if you're F2P
I stand by my original post - I think CG should put the /50 syringes and /50 cuffs in the respective Tier III Challenges. It turns something ludicrous and tedious into something that requires patience, because you know you'll get there eventually. P2P can still grind for them and be at an advantage.
If you look at my post, I said 20, not 200.

Farming purple laptops instead for future characters/B team
Most players will reach max level and equipment in about 1 month then have nothing to do and almost everything about this game is easy so far.
After that people could invest in different characters. There are a lot yet to be explored! The game would improve your enjoyment.
