I have three raid ready characters, and could easily gear up some more without too much effort once I get into the game more seriously again.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-72338139663791736842017-11-02T22:32:10.710+00:002017-11-02T22:32:10.710+00:00I'm a regular visitor of this site.

They are quite capable of keeping us busy without releasing new content - see the whole Dark vs. Light event. Nobody would intentionally invite bad PR like this. Not to mention that if they had all this time and energy to come up with a master plan for how to release a broken system and then slowly pretend to fix it over time, they would have had time to do something more productive.<br /><br />No, I fully believe that whoever originally signed off on Galactic Command genuinely thought that it was a good idea - for whatever reason...Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-56421862502401113932017-11-02T16:11:05.187+00:002017-11-02T16:11:05.187+00:00It's seems, that our first Anonymous is one of...It's seems, that our first Anonymous is one of the players, who left the game and never came back.<br /><br />"Months with booster.", "still too long to grind to 300.".

It is nice and working well now, but for the time they spent developing it in the first place and then fixing it, they could have left it the way it was before 5.0 and instead focus on the Operation, which for a full year of development is only 2/5 complete now.<br /><br />Of course, being a casual player myself now (and proud with it, hehe), I don't mind having access to the high-end gear through easy farm-able RNG Crap... I mean Crates. Not that I am gearing up my characters, actually. Casuals don't need to gear up, it simply is not needed for the content they (we) do. :)Vulkkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759513529924641583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-23874928128917129082017-11-02T07:51:39.465+00:002017-11-02T07:51:39.465+00:00Yes the system was fixed but the question is why i...Yes the system was fixed but the question is why it wasnt released in such an optimal state? I mean they should have been able to deduce that people have been used to getting the gear fast since we had the Priority ops just before where you could gear up a toon in 1 week.<br /><br />So for me, yes, they did fix it and the system is good now. However, Im 100% sure it was all their plan to simply fill the time with something. Delaying these improvements for so long was simply then now having and new content and buying time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871211866986782188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-28590702796981019462017-11-02T06:50:05.569+00:002017-11-02T06:50:05.569+00:00You might find it worth subscribing for a month in...You might find it worth subscribing for a month in the new year then, when the new operation is completed.

Sorry!<br /><br />Since 5.2 and the introduction of Tier IV, Tier I stuff is now no longer upgradeable into Tier II; gear from this Tier can now be bought outright with Unassembled Components and do not require a corresponding Tier I piece.

With the perks and a booster and I got nearly 40 levels from twp hours of dailies this afternoon. And compared to the comms systems of previous endgames, GC is a vast improvement. If you weren't raiding or pvping, you'd grind purple comms week after week just to buy badly itemized gear that would be replaced by lower level set pieces. At least with GC, you're getting gear with good stats and set bonuses from any kind of play, which is something casual players simply could not do before. I agree with Shintar, don't hold GC's really rough launch against its current state. I'd like to see some protection against doubles, but I'm not gonna complain about getting BIS gear from running tactical flashpoints or dailies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-53688998783421041672017-11-01T22:27:26.174+00:002017-11-01T22:27:26.174+00:00You sure you didn't mean to call me a Biofail ...You sure you didn't mean to call me a Biofail apologist or something? ;) Apathy is a pretty strange accusation to leave on a dedicated fan blog...<br /><br />Anything can take months if you don't play a lot, but I see people around me taking new alts from 1 to 300 in pretty much a matter of days now.

Months with boosters. The drops are still too random to be of any use.
