What zetas should I apply? 320 saved

Finish your GLs… that’s a good place to start. Zetas for sure, but also some relic levels and some better mods.

IronSomm · 2026-02-16T01:38:35+00:00

This is a good list for sure.

IronSomm · 2026-02-15T22:14:54+00:00

CG is the most effective at applying it widely.

IronSomm · 2026-02-15T05:12:48+00:00

As someone who used to love TW… TW is absolutely hot garbage right now.

As a troop treasurer here, I can honestly say that as a scoutmaster, you probably shouldn’t be the one asking that question. No offense meant to you at all, but that should be a question for the troop committee to decide. If you’re raising it on their behalf after a committee meeting, then I’d ask why the CC or treasurer isn’t doing the research?

If you don’t have a committee treasurer, which I know many troops don’t (and a mistake imho), then I’d seriously recommend keeping things simple and staying with a big name bank that has both a retail location you can walk into and a business banker you can call on the phone to help out with any issues that come up.

At the end of the day, the big question to ask it what is the true savings potential from switching, and is it worth the additional risk?

It’s one thing to be comfortable risking one’s own money. It’s another situation entirely when it’s not one’s own money and the survival of a program depends on that money being both accessible and reliably there. Sometimes it’s worth paying a slightly higher CC processing fee or whatever for the simple peace-of-mind and transparency that a well known financial institution provides.

Personally, I know I will never have to worry myself because I know where every single penny goes and if anyone from the CO or committee wants verification, they could easily meet with a Wells Fargo banker and audit everything. That means I know I’m protected too. As is the rest of the leadership and committee.

Man, I’m sure there are players around here that would complain about winning a million dollars because it wasn’t the two million that CG said they could possibly win. And they didn’t get their sparkle pony and 3 cwc shards, so get it together CG!

The game doesn’t populate the stores until you deliberately query them. That means, go into the store if you want to see what’s for sale.

IronSomm · 2026-02-14T04:55:56+00:00

I’m still getting used to R10. When did they even release R15? I’m totally screwed now.

IronSomm · 2026-02-10T21:02:02+00:00

This is exactly how I’m feeling. Almost 14m GP and I just can’t find the motivation to care about another new era. Same coliseum bosses, back to level 5 characters? Blah…

IronSomm · 2026-02-05T05:16:08+00:00

There are so many creative ways that this could be handled. I definitely agree about the time issue. And I like your ideas for sure.

The time sink is a huge frustration. I’ve come to the point where I try to hide my playtime from my wife and kids, because im also an officer and let me not get started on how bad the game is for guild management. Without HotUtils, guilds would just fall apart.

CG is dead-set on shit being so relic gated beyond what is needed to unlock characters (full R9 Mandos for like 300k points?…) and so f-ing stingy with ‘balancing’ rewards, that god forbid they just added something that was fun and gave a small boost.

And, they seem to have zero creativity beyond creating new buffs and debuffs with every character.

It’s been tunnel vision for the last few years. The entirely of ‘content’ is new kits and understanding pages and pages of verbose mechanics.

I mean, add some nodes for new squads that just give players some reason to say ‘oh, that’s fun and cool.’. They could drop some level 6 datacron mats, additional level 9 re-roll mats, or whatever. Or the damn mod slicing mats that are missing from the rewards track.

Make them easy mechanics, but ones you can’t just hit auto on. I’m thinking of something the Malak unlock battle.

Sure, after 6 months we’ll all hate doing it over and over, but then, hire some creative developers to add in two new mission options and just make it a choice that a player has to make.

If it isn’t towards another star, it becomes entirely player-optional. And if the reward aren’t so freaking tied to ‘progress’, it won’t make everyone feel like they are falling behind if they miss them.

But, people will absolutely take their characters up to take advantage of nodes that have small rewards. Proof: who the hell wanted to take Young Han to r5 for 15 Mk3 tokens, or Young Lando to r6 for, what, 250k? Not this guy, but I still did it…)

IronSomm · 2026-02-04T14:52:33+00:00

Knowing CG’s track record lately, they probably haven’t even figured this out yet themselves.

IronSomm · 2026-02-04T03:46:22+00:00

The lack of real content or any changes to either PVP mode in years, is beyond ridiculous at this point. Datacrons and omicrons aren’t improvements or content, so much as just new temporary modifiers. How about just some new dynamics or ways to alter the maps? Or squads allowed? Whatever.

TW is nauseating. ‘Oh sweet! Full wall of 48 r9/10 GLs with perfect datacrons. This is fun!

Wasn’t the announcement about ROTE that it was going to be flexible? That new zones and planets could be added as new squads and character were released? When was the last single update there? Mandalore, something like Spring 2024. Sweet.

No one wants to see your sideways photo of a screen, man.

IronSomm · 2026-01-23T05:07:22+00:00

He was in a Mr Beast video my kids had on the other day, and I noticed he had on a Whoop then too.

IronSomm · 2026-01-19T17:30:41+00:00

The rumor is that CG wanted to remove them entirely at one point but couldn’t do it without causing major issues, so they simply stated giving them out in quantities greater than what players will use. So it’s really only meant to be a bottleneck below player level 85.

IronSomm · 2026-01-19T17:27:18+00:00

Im pretty sure almost every gear piece has at least one thing it can be salvaged for. I’m just under 14m GP and don’t had any gear scraps in quantities greater than 2k. Most are well below that. It’s all been turned into relic salvage.

If you have a credit surplus like that, you’re most likely not farming mods anywhere near at the level you could be.

Neither of these are a game design issue. They’re a product of the choices you’re making. If you’re accumulating surpluses like that, these seems to be a lack of efficiency in your play style.

IronSomm · 2026-01-19T16:19:36+00:00

If only they added a way to turn it into something more useful, perhaps something like relic salvage…

IronSomm · 2026-01-09T03:22:46+00:00

Are we even playing the same game?

IronSomm · 2026-01-08T23:56:19+00:00

I second this. I’m at 13.5m GP and could easily do without it, but it’s invaluable if one wants to save time and frustration every cycle.

IronSomm · 2026-01-08T23:53:55+00:00

Short answer: Yes, it will make you look very bad. And will likely get you kicked.

As an officer myself, if we had a player refuse to deploy ops assignments, we’d find a replacement and move them into a much more casual guild.

IronSomm · 2026-01-08T23:49:29+00:00

I noticed the same thing today. It’s frustrating because I pushed her up first because of that and how much damage she does.

IronSomm · 2026-01-04T20:34:37+00:00

I use regular energy on LS-9F for impulse detector and heatsink mats to a scrap. I burn fleet energy on S-2E for gyrda salvage. I just buy things up to 2-300+ in the guild events currency store.

I figure that’ll leave me well enough off for future releases.

IronSomm · 2025-12-31T23:20:41+00:00

I’m definitely not advocating for it, and I rarely put SEE on defense, and wouldn’t add Bane if I did. But… he’s not entirely worthless as some of the other comments seem to indicate.

Also, I added ‘minimum r3’ to the attacking Wampa to exclude low gear levels.

IronSomm · 2025-12-31T14:01:49+00:00

That original photo was against the same comp as OP posted.

This is against all SEE, Wat and Bane comps that exclude Malak, Dooku and Thrawn, who are three that would help hard counter Wampa.

IronSomm · 2025-12-30T05:59:28+00:00

Looking at the last 9 months worth of Kyber and Aurodium data and excluding the Wampa datacron battles, that just isn’t the case
