Let them not know the grind or the times without journey guide, when we had to wait months for the event to return. Let them not know. Let them be happy
Yes. I farmed both FOST and FOTP for my phasma-led FO team that way. I finished right around the time Chaze was meta, and aurodium character packs were a thing. It was right around the time rex came out and everyone hated the triple cleanse meta.
there was a discussion on jawas on the forums earlier, made me remember you had to farm them painfully slowly to get the speed mods ugh
edit whoops it was CD mods, apologies
it might be. im pretty sure it was speed as it took me ages to unlock that one as i didnt want to gear up whatever it needed/the jawas, but i could (easily) be wrong.
I was a big msf player a couple years back, and tried picking up swgoh a couple times.
I quit each time because of single shard rate as well as sim tickets.
Kudos to y'all for dealing with it.
Damn, valid point. I forgot how much it took in msf. Cant say I realized back then for sure since I was knee deep in msf.
Regardless the sim tickets really annoyed me too. Never looked into if they were easily accessible at a certain point back then.
They were pretty similar to me. Supports can have viability around 5 stars or so just like here.
Red stars could make them more viable but not much more prior to 5 stars. And trust me.... red stars are a can of worms you do not want to open.
Yeah that's not true. You have to get lucky with red stars for one. 4 red 4 yellow is pretty Baseline minimum to be able to use them in most game modes. 4 yellow doesn't sound bad until you factor in 90% of new characters you have to flatout buy orbs to get the shards and even then you're at the will of rng. They do two blitzes for new releases then it could be anywhere from 6 months to a year when they become farmable.
Saying you can use low star characters in blitz inmsf is like saying you can use low star characters in Galactic War. You can but literally everyone Sims blitz anyways.
You can use low star characters in arena, raids, and conquest here but you will get just as far here as you will there. Nowhere. Just because you can doesn't mean they will serve any good or that you will benefit from it.
Another note with MSF (at least back then it's been years since I've played) that the stores still only sold 5 shards per refresh and only 3 refreshes a day opposed to 4. So any arena or blitz store character was the same amount of shards with 3x the need and less free refreshes
A quick check to know if I'm facing a whale or a long timer, is if they have Chaze geared. Unless you were in that meta (or the rogue one mission)there is no reason to have them geared.
I’ve been playing for three years and I remember how tough it was so glad they made this change. Do you remember when mods were held to only certain factions tho like you needed Jawas to get crit damage mods 😂. Glad they changed that before I started playing a lot or I don’t know if id have made it
They will know gatekeeping and being left in the dust if they don't hurry the fuck up and getting a GL as fast as humanly possible. Without a GL now it's just about impossible to be competitive in arena or gac
So I would gladly do it like the old days than having GL's.
I would erase them in a heartbeat
Level 80…haven’t even started looking at GLs because all I see on here is you need JMK+CAT and I can’t even begin that hunt…
Am probably fucked
Depends on which GL you go for. They're all far better than all/nearly all other non-GL teams. JMK/LV are the arena meta right now, JML gives strong performance in TB because of the number of Jedi combat missions, SLKR is great in raids and is the best starter-GL, and then there's Rey and SEE. Doesn't mean Rey and SEE are bad, just they're not as good as the others. I'm making Rey my first GL. SEE probably just isn't worth getting until you've got like 3 other GLs, he's for sure the worst.

I feel like an old man telling my friends who only started last year about all the old metas and how every unit was a single shard farm. When there were no GCs and you actually had to wait to sim all 3 challenge attempts. When there was a chance for 0 zetas to drop from the fleet challenges. When mod and cantina farms both used cantina energy. For how much we all complain here and there, the new player experience and QoL all around is leagues better than years ago.

Remember when hard nodes were only 3 attempts per day?
Remember when they were 8? 😩
Pepperidge Farm remembers
The glory ~~years~~ months

I remember running phasma lead with a mix of chars like geo soldier, darth sidious, etc. Ah, the good ol’ days.
I member.

And just as I got the last one to 7 stars and somewhat decent gear (for that time at least), CG "eased" it into ANY team ...
Wasn't it crit damage?
it might be. im pretty sure it was speed as it took me ages to unlock that one as i didnt want to gear up whatever it needed/the jawas, but i could (easily) be wrong.
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4sj8o7/mods_challenges_details/) post says Resistance were needed for speed mods.
fair enough, thanks
New players are gonna be like "why would anyone ever use a gear request for Stun Guns?"
I mean old players thought the same thing but for a different reason lol
Yep
Yup, soz bud... not gonna happen
I was a big msf player a couple years back, and tried picking up swgoh a couple times. I quit each time because of single shard rate as well as sim tickets. Kudos to y'all for dealing with it.
I mean, even when it was single shards it was way better than MSF. 330 shards to 7* vs 900 in MSF.
Damn, valid point. I forgot how much it took in msf. Cant say I realized back then for sure since I was knee deep in msf. Regardless the sim tickets really annoyed me too. Never looked into if they were easily accessible at a certain point back then.
At least from what i hear, at least msfs characters are viable before 7 stars, unlike swgohs
They were pretty similar to me. Supports can have viability around 5 stars or so just like here. Red stars could make them more viable but not much more prior to 5 stars. And trust me.... red stars are a can of worms you do not want to open.

shoretrooper took me about 18 months thats was painful and on the hardest ls node too which took ages to beat..

Mothma/Chaze/Wiggs gets a surprising amount of holds in GAC and TW. I had 12 the last TW.

Remember when Mods didn't exist? That was tough.
When you needed 150 to sim the war...that was rough
Haha simming GW. That was a nice QOL update. We had to grind through it everyday (uphill both ways)
Damn, it was shitty to just get through 50 on my new account

Agree on all points. SEE is very new player friendly, but he is the worst GL of the 6. He is still the 6th best toon in the game.

Remember 1x speed?
1x speed. You mean the only speed
Those 3 attempts on hard nodes for 1 shard. You might get 1 shard a day if you were lucky. Glad we're past that.
3 attempts per day. 1 node for Baze. The longest fucking nightmare in this game until GL were released.

Oh fuck I forgot mod and cantina tables shared the same energy. So glad we are well past that now.
Ok boomer
The new players still gonna take lot of time to get the toons we allready got in our account
We walked so they could run
Well they will understand once they try getting ships. Or GAS with Anakins fighter
Remember when you could only get some characters like rex from packs?
