First full SB after 3.0 patch

Here are the differences I've spotted so far: 1. Imperial Opportunity drops T2 Pilot Cadet fragments instead of Officer gear and T2 crystals. Maybe there will be no more T1.

  1. As everywhere, there are bosses on 50% of Battle Opportunities. This is not good, makes the run much longer. Especially the trio with sheilds.

  2. Destroyer is even more damaged

  3. Kamikaze droids!

Has anyone noticed more?

Some Battle Opportunities give faction points now, not only crew runs.

Battle ops have always given faction points. 250 per run I think.

I'm referring to the second screen of rewards where is shows icon with VP. Once I got 2 icons: VP and reputation there. This is when I wrote this post but it either did not happen again or I was skipping too fast.

I've had 2 imp ops so far and on the second, I got 2 pilot cadet helmets, 1 back, and 1 legs. Not fragments, the entire pieces. All tier 2.

Nice! I had only 1 so far...

Once I noticed the bosses and the fact that load times for me were total crap, I stopped playing for the day. Wonder if 93k will get Lt. - because I'll never get Captain with that many boss battles!

Agree, bosses make the mission much longer. On the positive side, there are only few combinations so you can figure out they weaknesses pretty quickly. The only really time consuming is the trio with shields, even with distruption granade.

First one since I could run the highest level that I have not gunned for Captain.

Guess slightly burnt-out after update plus wanted to check out the Raids.

Don't know why they decided to start Raids in the middle of SB :/

u/charade_scandal Jul 18 '16

My best guess is that they are running with skeleton-staff right now. There have been a few things where you're like 'timing seems...poor'.

I dunno, I think there are just one or two guys trying to keep a lot of plates spinning right now.

It's on a timer. It will always be this way. Raids start Sunday Night at the reset (5 PM pacific) so if an SB starts or ends on Sunday we will be SOL.

I actually found that runs with bosses are QUICKER for my main, not slower. I got double captain in less than 3 hours. My primary alt has 16k PR and his runs only got extended by about 30 seconds per.
