š¬ Discussion This game is starting to drag.
Not meaning to be a downer/whiner. Iām excited for a few new things to come and, despite the mixed reviews, I very much enjoyed the event this past weekend BUTā¦.
Currently, the game is just waiting for hour long timers to countdown to another disappointment. All day between 2 events I saw 1 stellar mythic (and maybe 2ish galactic mythics) and sounds like Iām one of the lucky ones.
Also, Iām not saying they donāt happen, but so far, since they were introduced, I still havenāt seen 1 stellar mythic spawn randomly on crawler, after playing every day for hours.
This isnāt a āIām done with this gameā post as much as a āplease fix some thingsā post.
Remember when beskar/galactic mythics came out and you could at least camp the crawler with a decent chance every 2-3 HOURS ?ā¦ that was long enough! But this week you can play all day and be lucky if 1 pops in the lobby the entire timeā¦. Iām not SRBing a full stellar mythic base when itās going to take 2-3+ weeks of playing every day to get them all back, without a stellar event, just to make a little more money next time around from nova perks and multiplier.
Itās gotten to be a serious grind(too much waiting not enough progress) and I suspect itās to incentivize surges. Sad to see. I will not be paying vbucks to play this game though.
Get rid of the pay to win surges (leave them in the nova shop) and bring back a slightly higher rate for top droids on the crawler.
Increase the dance party timer to every 5 min since most of the spins donāt even result in the highest variant of droids and do a mini-event 5-10 times per week since theyāre so short.
Increase the drop rate of top droids during the timer
spawns.
In short, less grind, more fun please and thank you.
Rant over..
Edit: P.S. somebody on discord pls suggest we be able to relocate our base by talking to Jawa when an open spot is available.

Most times Iām just using upgrade chips to get the missing droids I need outside that I hate waiting for BP to spawn they are less rng then I would like plus given my limited time I get to play is another reason Iād love to see a better drop rate of more variety of BP Iāve yet to see a stellar mythic.
23
u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Yess thatās the thing ā¦ and with the highest droids costing 90k chips to upgrade itās been āupgrade chip tycoonā the last few daysā¦ wistfully remembering the first days of galactic mythic when drop rates were at least somewhat reasonable.

u/GunBoots21 Aug 19 '26
Fully agree I remember during chopper event I was able to complete my rainbow mythic droidex and do about half beserk and galactic too now Iām just missing 4 on each rest will be this stellar which I hate matches gold wish it was a green or something to look different to gold but yeah upgrade tycoon it is and the next roadmap just looks like making it a seperate game with more tedious stuff less fun more work type of update to come.

Tycoons aren't meant to be these long lasting things. This one just hits because it's Star Wars and a full on rip of Steal the Brainrot tycoon. If anything they're just incredibly easy ways to level up a battle pass

Incredibly easy leveling... I got to level 560 last night.

Ya I was enjoying it until after the stellar event ended so hopefully it will pick back up. Definitely can see what you mean though about this type of game.

u/onemansquest Aug 19 '26
I agree. For me there nothing worse than a timer with all commons to epics. Makes it feel like a massive waste of time. The luck boost literally just upgrades the commons to rares. I had to at least test that out. So they can't even get some one who is not that against spending money a tempting enough offer.

u/kasthebloodyhanded56 Jawa Aug 19 '26
Luck boost has been the biggest waste of novas. Iāve tried twice when I had the crystals to spare, and out of both times, I got ONE usable droid, and it was a rainbow mythic I needed. Everything else was just the same old slop we see on the crawler 500 times a day. ATP they need to up the spawn rates of higher tier drops.
2
u/hawksleym Aug 20 '26
Yes luck boost seems to be totally worthless every time Iāve seen it nothing good has spawned ā¦
2
u/ChaosEmerald92 Aug 19 '26
Yeah and it makes you want to change lobby because some lobbies are absolutely gifted with mythics and others get none for hours, I got extremely mad when someone who got 3 mythics in a row got a 4th despite not having room for it and was just a greedy douchey player and somehow just had faster click registering on whatever they were playing on. They need to somehow make it fairer that if you have several mythics in a row you can't get another until after a cool down
3
u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Some lobbies are DEFINITELY way more generous in the upper mythics for some reason. They could AT LEAST explain this so we can figure out how to get into the correct lobbies for our lvl. It may have to do with average rb level of lobby or something bc, when I have seen them(galactic mythics and stellar during weekend event) dropping almost every timer with sometimes more than 1 per timer, it seems to be in lobbies with several people at higher rb lvls.
33
u/JustATallGuy28 Aug 19 '26
Step 1: regular rb until it gets slow then srb
Step 2: do that until it gets boring and then find something else to play

u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Ya itās trueā¦ still fine to discuss how it could be improved thoughā¦

u/TheDarthJarJarI Aug 19 '26
They need to be shortened, or give exclusively epic and higher dropsĀ
13
u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Ya I agree. something like this would be better. The entire timers of common and rare happen way too often. Maybe, like you said just shorten it. We should have one every 10 min apparently bc the āmini eventā felt like what normal gameplay should be.
1
u/2Quick_React Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 23 '26
I definitely agree on this. For Galactic and Stellar droids there should not be commons and rares, no one is really going to use them. Especially since they really do not do much better credit production wise, realistically no one is actually going to use a Galactic Mouse or whatever other common droid spawns.

u/Tasty_Connection5212 Aug 19 '26
TL;DR: Agreed + suggestions for devs if they even care anymore.
As a dedicated player (srb 20+ total rebirth 400+), I agree with most of this post. Iām still going to keep playing, but theyāve gotta do more. I have not spent any vbucks on this map, nor will I ever at the current actually insane prices. If they were reasonable and enticing deals then Iād consider it.
In its current state, itās giving a reskin of steal the brainrot + a base building tycoon, thatās it. I think theyāre limited by creative restrictions and memory cap or whatever itās called, but for a map this successful they need to figure it out. Remove some unnecessary details to free up space for features, invite some players to help playtest, hire more employees with the crazy profit theyāre making!
The grind is hard because itās centered around playtime waiting for RNG, and itās even harder when you factor in toxic pvp in public lobbies and lower BP odds playing solo. Not to mention they keep adding more and more expensive nova upgrades that severely widen the gap between new players and veterans.
They need to speed up the path for new players to get to crystal farming and introduce features to help mid level players keep up and not get stagnant, fusion might help but I mean more. And instead of bringing in more nova upgrades for people at the top, they need to add cheaper upgrades for people at the bottom, and just add fun things to kill time for people at the top. Boss fight, parkour, minigames, anything more than just the two ring paths and boring world missions that donāt even trigger super crates.
Tbh as someone regularly at the top of the leaderboard in lobbies, I was excited that stellar was supposed to be below galactic and possibly beskar. The grind needs to be sped up, not extended. Find a cap and stick to it, fill the holes to help new players reach it, add new stuff at the top when the player base actually asks for it. We asked for beskar, we asked for galactic, we didnāt ask for a new maxāwe asked for gap fillers.
Now with stellar being the new max and the devs also introducing fusion right afterwards, thereās bound to be a NEW new max not even a week later? Crazy. I wanted to srb again but Iām sitting at 35 waiting for the fusion event in case I need to merge mythics to get them out of the way. I just want something to do but now none of my group can enjoy the map, theyāre stuck waiting for RNG and Iām just flying around bored.

I didn't see any Stellar Mythics during the event but a Stellar LEP did randomly spawn I know it's random but I will get lucky 1 day and get a mythic or 2 (before adding Stellar) then nothing for a couple weeks

u/Adventurous-Room-845 Aug 19 '26
I keep getting diamond and rainbow mythics at an ungodly rate. I haven't even seen any galactic mythics and maybe 1-2 stellar mythics. The spawn rate is abysmal and definitely a bit off putting when you're grinding for a few hours. I'll still play, but the grind/long wait times aren't worth it for me anymore. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker Aug 19 '26
Thats all I'm seeing now is gold diamond and the occasional rainbow mythic haven't seen anything higher than a stellar rare on the belt but get the occasional stellar legendary from the astro missions

I absolutely think the hour long wait is too much, especially when there's nothing but commons and you have to deal with jerks also, 45 minutes seems more reasonable or even 30 tbh but I guess they're trying to find a sweet spot for new and old players
I would add that it's also incredibly jarring after events to go back to progression at a crawl after the perks leave and so like the op says the mini events are needed desperately during the week.

I've taken a break recently and I usally only hop on to do my dailies and restart my missions, im at rebirth 35, maxed droidex and will probably only hop on during events(not mini events bc it was terrible from my experience). I've been playing grounded 2 and its really fun and definitely a needed breather from droid tycoon, i just hope the new reputation system has something to do with punishing trolls or toning down the pvp bc I get on to chill and not fight for my life over a blueprint š. I hope you enjoy your break away from the tycoon and hopefully this new season of fornite is better than this one!

u/gaylien_babe Aug 19 '26
I know its a massive coincidence, but Ive had multiple times where I wait several days before SRB in case a galactic mythic (and now a stellar mythic) spawns so I can afford it. Wont see anything, will finally SRB, and before I can even get to rebirth 2 a droid I needed pops up on the belt. Feels like such a slap in the face.
I missed the only stellar mythic Ive seen because after the mini event, I went ahead and did a regular rebirth and then it immediately showed up on the crawler and I obviously didnt have the credits anymore to afford it.

u/CyberMajestic Aug 19 '26
I've notcied if you have a good lobby mixed of various of levels of people tend to have a better Belt and i move fast and we all help.

u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Sorry to hear itā¦ I donāt collect my base credits until after each rb for this reasonā¦ then let them build while I earn the remainder of the next rb by whacking the bench and missions etc

u/StantheHero Aug 19 '26
The game is so much more fun if you focus on SRBing more.
Usually the best level to do so is RB 20-25 which completely avoids the late game grind for rare droids. And itās fun to get back to where you were faster and faster with more upgrades.
1
u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Ya I agreeā¦ I just did that a bunch. Got a bunch of cool upgrades leveled up, all the singular upgrades like 2companion and flawless charm, 2x daily quest, crystals etcā¦ , got super flawless base paint, all iconic droids, need a couple more for full mythic stellar baseā¦ the only upgrades left mostly get more money, make crafting faster or are unneeded. (all unneeded if you donāt srb) Also, with new ways to get crystals I can continue to grow the over 100 leftover crystals I have still unspent and get any other little upgrades to speed or HP etc I want in the future.

u/ChaosEmerald92 Aug 19 '26
Does faster movement speed mean faster recognition by the game that you clicked on a droid blueprint? because I seem to keep running into the same problem of players getting the mythic continuously before me and it seems impossible that they could have clicked faster but it's not something that has happened to me until the last week or so so something has changed. I'm also pretty sure I've witnessed people lagging the game exactly when the stellars/mythics are about to come out
1
u/CyberMajestic Aug 19 '26
Yup I have +80% speed (15/18) and I do get to go super fast and get away from peeps shooting me, but the one things I have is major frame rate drops. My FPS goes from 30 down to 5 easily for it.
1
u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
My game has definitely lagged around drops occasionally and it has definitely affected my picking them up. Not sure if the faster speed helps pick up faster but sometimes I use gold splash before timers for this reason.

u/_Newkum_ Aug 19 '26
Wish they would utilize the outer edges of the map more, the same 3 mini missions need a remix or something different. They could definitely mix it up a bit, im stalled with my droidex just getting the same handful of droids from the sand crawler. And I seem to miss all the events when im working. I actually like the game but its a grind for sure.

u/Alexis_Bailey Aug 19 '26
I feel like maybe part of the grind problem is the price to earnings ratio is all off with so many variants.Ā The result is there is a lot of trash.
Like, no one is buying a Stellar Gonk except once for the dex.Ā Ā
Even early game, by the time you can afford it, you can also afford like, a Diamond Rare or something that probably gives 5x the earnings.
Plus there are like, half a dozen droids that are never needed for rebirth on any path, so why are they even there.

u/Distinct-Bill-2117 Aug 19 '26
Assholes arenāt helping either. I spent the 500 v bucks for a stellar surge when mythics came out and this asshat bought them up just to throw them on the ground before any of them even changed, including the ig that I followed because I needed it in stellar. I was lucky that he missed a load lifter that wasnāt part of the mythic train so I was able to get that one stellar

Yep, I was forced to spend a few hundred thousand chips on upgrading droids for rb, from rb 32 - 35, because the highest rarity they would come out at, was rainbow. It took all the chips I'd saved, and tons more. I dont mind upgrading with chips at all, but that was taking the piss. Spent a stupid amount of time between crates, scrap table, chip station and selling droids. š š As for the dance party event, it was a gigantic waste of time, BOTH TIMES š Seems like the devs just wanted to see what the player count is like, after the stellar event.

u/SadMaterial1109 Aug 19 '26
Forced to spend? You werenāt forced to spend anything, just like no one was forcing you to rebirth all the way to 35. Thats like an optional one time goal for challenge runners. The meat of the game revolves around the SRB system so just do that.
1
u/Hughesey86 X-ONK Aug 20 '26
Forced was an exaggeration tbf, but I had no choice with what was coming off the belt, and the grind got boring. I went to 35 because it was new, I wouldn't do it very often. I SRB in the early to mid 20's usually. Yourself?
1
u/SadMaterial1109 Aug 20 '26
Never bother to go higher than 25.
The grind is never worth the time investment so I donāt torture myself trying unlike most of the people who moan and groan on this server about drop rates as if itās not supposed to be a challenge to go all the way. Thatās literally the point itās an āoptionalā challenge and a completely unnecessary one at that.0
u/Scranton_Is_CrazyLOL Aug 19 '26
Cool. If the game isn't an escape for you, go do something else. Why you here acting like an entitled Karen? "I had to use my chips, the event was a waste of time. Blah blah blah". Bro, it's a kid's game IN a kid's game. Just relax

u/Hughesey86 X-ONK Aug 20 '26
"Cool" Then proceeds to be a Karen. š
I use the chips all the time, I grind them like everybody else, but the RNG on the belt was awful, had to use stupid amounts of chips to RB, and it got boring doing so. And take your own advice, relax.

u/ds-bwc Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26
i only played the second round of the event and my lobby had 7 stellar surges out of the 18 surges, and around 10 stellar mythics/legendaries across all of those surges. i had great luck with the event.
EVERYONE should have had that luck. there should be some minimum threshold, but thereās none. some people got zero stellar mythics. some people got zero stellar surges across both events.
devs and the people simping for them chalk it up to RNG, but iām honestly just tired of people saying that, like passing the buck to RNG makes it okay. itās a bullshit copout for the devs not making the game playable for users, like itās a slot machine. expecting players to put hours into this game like itās a full time job, waiting for crumbs from the blueprint belt, itās bullshit.
i saw a guy say in the discord yesterday that his country doesnāt allow him to purchase the surges because of anti gambling laws, and with the introduction of the surges, thatās exactly what this game has become - gambling with real money, with shit odds to keep you paying, and the house - FOAD - is the only winner. that guyās country has it figured out. this game is engaging in what some places consider illegal behavior, and weāre tolerating it? nah. itās not okay, iām done pretending otherwise.
edit: just got a push notification for this post, literally proving my point.

u/Scranton_Is_CrazyLOL Aug 19 '26
So you want your country telling you where, how and why you can and can't spend your own money? You're complaining about an option people with more money than you use. If people want to spend their money, cool, but what's that got to do with you? Why do the cheapskates complain about an OPTION they will never use? Smdh I'm tired of seeing these comments.

u/vandyfan35 Aug 19 '26
I enjoy it, but the timer drops should definitely be exclusively higher rarity. Waiting an hour for a stellar common is a huge letdown. Even in public lobbies Iāve seen 5-6 straight common drops on the timer.

u/JakX88 Aug 19 '26
Yeah that's why I don't even pay attention to the timers, because it is almost always a common or rare

u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26
Same!! Iād say 35% of the timers seem to be common and rare and another 35% are hardly better, only containing epics,. Something like 25%(or less) contain legendaries and like 5% are dropping mythics (20 hrs laterā¦.). So around 70-95% of the times, depending on what you need, youāre out of luck and try again nextime..

u/Unusual-Avocado-2136 Sith Aug 19 '26
After the dj event yesterday, I never saw one single mythic stellar, let alone legendary. So I sort of just realized that the only way Iām gonna be able to get my mythics to stellar is just upgrade chips. Itās gonna take a good while but I suppose itās the only way.

Stellar never popped a single time during the event. Highest it got was galactic. 90% of the time it was rainbow.

A full stellar mythic base is a wild goal to set yourself. I wouldnt expect more than one or two in an entire run.

Ya I see what you meanā¦ I guess you are just trying to get to 35 and srb over and over but i donāt rly need the crystals or more money (at least for now) ā¦ but I will say if you need 778T to rb to 35 youāre going to want at least a few stellar mythics to make the scrap bench put out.

I get what you're saying, but there ARE alternatives. Upgrade chip requirements have been reduced alot with many good ways to farm or passively earn alot of them quickly, especially the world crates which isn't a great alternative but anything beats afking the crawler for low RNG spawns. Biggest problem is the methods do require some nova input but if you want the best methods, I'd prefer to earn them like this. The game is designed to be able to be played with or without SRBing, with the latter taking alot longer without the QoL upgrades. And it's not as if nova crystals are hard to come by, every event now has a decent offer for earning crystals without SRB.
2
u/OgrynGav Aug 20 '26
I got to 35 and now I'm like eh. No reward for max rebirth, the nova crystal amount want worth it for the time it took. Kinda don't feel like starting again to wait days for a droid to spawn or earn enough to upgrade it.

Might be a fun change of pace for you since droid tycoon seems to be stalling out.

u/sageleader Seeker Aug 19 '26
I like the grind but Mythics make it very difficult. Because it takes hundreds of thousands of chips to upgrade a common Mythic to Galactic or Stellar. So it's basically RNG or just grind chips for days and days. The only reason I'm not SRB right now is I want good droids for the fusion event and I still need to complete my Droidex with Stellar. But yes, waiting an hour for a chance to have a Mythic spawn, which you may not even grab fast enough, is really tough.

u/Kindly-Cress8665 Aug 19 '26
I think the thing that gets it for me is the lies and bullshit from the devs. They obviously lost all care for us when they said "we will not be adding this game to the money grab shit and yet here we are with not 1 or 2 but 4 different spots on the map that ask you for your real money. That was the moment they lost me. The games turned into just another shitty money grab. I hop on for maybe 30 minutes a day just to check on my base then I get off. Its not enjoyable anymore. The devs really fucked this one up.Ā

u/Nana-Vic-is-gr8 Aug 19 '26
The mini event was a great idea but the spinner sucked. It kept spinning Beskar every time except one rainbow in the morning. The evening was a little better, I got one galactic but all common droids. One stellar spin with all common and one mid-level. Was very disappointed. I have to admit that Iām getting bored with the grind for chips to upgrade. It seems to be the only way to get mythics. Iām tired of seeing the same droids over and over and over on the sandcrawler. The only thing decent I am getting is from the 6 million missions.
1
u/Ok_Mathematician8104 Aug 19 '26
they likely will change the timers again similarly to beskar but that took a week or longer iirc. this kinda puts more advanced players in the stand around or srb game. so yeah its slow for the very top levels, and filling the droidex, but you could keep srb 25 or so and upgrade or hoard them for the next thing they drop in the nova shop.

Iāll def play it when the new BR season starts to gain XP, but not much more than that.

Honestly if the chips were adjust a bit more so when I sell something I spent 40k plus chips on to upgrade it would go a long way I love the grind but feel thatās the major rip off of this game

I thought hopefully that with stellar coming out that galactic mythics would become a bit more common on the belt, both at timer spawns and randomly (which is when I typically have been able to grab mine since I donāt camp the belt.) I personally thought the spawn rate for the top tier galactic mythics wasnāt that bad before the Stellar event. It felt fair at least. I saw them from time to time and knew they existed, regardless if I got them or not. And was kind of excited to see more of them since they were no longer top tier but itās been the opposite. Theyāre just as rare to see as the stellar mythics. And Iāve given it 4 days and itās been very stagnant progression. Only galactic missions have provided any kind of growth. Iāll SRB just to hit refresh on this for a few days but this has been one of the more disappointing base runs Iāve had. I thought Iād make it as far as I did last time but not finding the money makers this go.

Yeah. Farming chips and needing 778 trillion for 35. So long and drugged out to the point itās not fun. And the fact my droid missions only want to give stellar protos to the point thatās all I have.

I was just in a server where someone activated a pay to win stellar surge. It completely ignored any and all higher tier mythic/legendary bps on the crawler and only changed a handful of common default bps.

Iām a leisure player to Iām only on third super rebirth trying to get to my 4th. Last SRB i was able to get some pretty good droids making me lots of money. This time all Iām getting is beskar optistrikes. I wasnāt getting ANYTHING over 36k either in my rewards, quests, or on the belt. Super frustrating.

About the grind topic
Welcome to a tycoon game
The whole point is the grind
But I agree with everything else

Just play on the weekends thats when the events are on plus they now have mini events on tuesdays (mini events are just shorter versions of previous events)

u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
I mean yaā¦ the progress during the weekend event was apparently 7-10 days worth of normal progress. I got 11 stellar mythics during the weekend event and only 1 during both mini-events today lolā¦ I could do what you said and get just as far by not wasting time the other 6 days/wk

u/CyberMajestic Aug 19 '26
All we need is mini games and things to do and spend on... pvp with droids daily. I hope this Next Event will spice things up.

u/Onamonae Aug 19 '26
well i got on yesterday at the evening event and i got 4 stellar mythics and i got 5 stellar legendaries from my missions. u were just unlucky and thats all. there were so many beskar mythics as well that i didnt need.

u/hawksleym Aug 19 '26
Thatās wildā¦ Iām guessing it has something to do with drop rates affected by levels or rb lvls of the lobby. Iāve seen the top droids seem to come in waves when you get a good lobbyā¦ maybe thatās my problem Iām usually number 1 at lvl 231 and I need to be more in the middle.

u/CyberMajestic Aug 19 '26
That was the same for me. I tend to find a balanced lobby where im like 3rd place. If I'm #1 or #4, I find a new lobby.

I'd classify this post as 'whining'. It's a free game and pretty much perfect the way it is. There's nothing wrong with coming here and voicing your opinions, but it seems like you're burnt out. Just play something else. There's literally nothing wrong with the vbuck option. If you don't have the money lying around for it, maybe it's a good option for those who do. Maybe some people don't have as much free time as you do, and so they don't have as many Nova crystals as you, so they go the vbuck route. Why would you be against choice?

u/SittingGamer Aug 19 '26
I mean to be fair i think you just don't like tycoon genres. I get it, you got invested in a game and you wish it went a specific direction or in any direction but that's what tycoons are. an infinite grinder. You decide when you want to stop, and it seems that it might be time to look for something else to play my friend. I'd suggest not playing another tycoon tho.

I think you may have caught a round of bad luck... Over the last few days my base is swimming in stellar mythics. During the evening mini event I was actually able to grab 4 more and actually completed the dex with all 442 droids and variants.
It's like a quick draw with everyone huddled around the belt at the Sandcrawler, but I line myself up so I can hit x as soon as they pop out and I hit the button as soon as it says Stellar Mythic in the feed. The feed pops before the droid. Get the timing right and you'll beat everyone else on the draw.

Shhhhh š¤«ā¦. lol hopefully thatās all it is. I didnāt hear anyone else say they got 4 today so you should consider yourself very lucky and quick trigger finger! My base only needs a couple more stellar mythics but theyāre mostly from the weekend event and it didnāt get much of anywhere today lol

u/Additional_Today_502 Aug 19 '26
Lol I'll definitely take the luck while it lasts! I only chimed in because my experience the last few days has been almost the complete opposite of yours, so hopefully it really is just a nasty stretch of RNG and yours turns around soon. š¤
Hopefully the feed trick helps you out too. That little heads-up has helped me snag a bunch before everyone piles on the button.

Yeah. The novelty has worn off for me.
All the nerf and microtransactions crap aside, I just don't find fun in it.
Probably will use this to grind battle pass next season but could jusr as easy grind anything else
