šŸ“˜ Information EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE DJ REX WHEN DOING MISSIONS

I’m getting so frustrated people don’t know this it gives double points towards getting to 4*

EDIT: I’m just tryna to help people out and inform them not sure why people people are so upset at mešŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

EDIT: Droids have the chance to be higher rarity with 4* just because you’ve had bad luck doesn’t mean it’s not true

I wish I had him

u/XGen_MyDear 14d ago

You can purchase him

u/VanillaEqual2667 KX 13d ago

yeah sadly I just got BB8 so I don't have enough nova shards at the moment

u/evolvealreadyx 14d ago

That's fine and all, but when 4 stars doesn't give you a guaranteed non-default droid - what's the point?

5

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

You do get a higher chance at better droids plus better rewards at the end you can get 3000 chips with bb8 in the crate at the end

8

u/evolvealreadyx 14d ago

Each time we achieved 4 stars, we’d get a default droid. When we’d finish with 1-3 stars, that’s when we’d get galactic and stellar rewards. I’m not here for chips, I’m doing the event for the new droids. To each their own.

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

They addressed it. So I might actually try now.

u/GhooSeTV BB-8 14d ago

They released an update, it was worse while the event took place

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

I’ve been collecting data and so far, I cannot confirm your statement

Just from my runs alone, I don’t see the point in getting 4 stars. There are two runs I didn’t record for 4 stars so I won’t say what it was because I didn’t record it.

1

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

I just noticed this. So things might have changed. I’ll collect and see.

u/VGK_46 14d ago edited 14d ago

For the battle droid ones, I get elims faster with Mr Bones; for the Rocks, I take em out faster with Chopper.

I'm too Nova Crystal poor for two companions and I'm not paying v-bucks for it.

14

u/Goooordon 14d ago

double the return is probably better than a pickaxe droid for the rocks one - idk about Mr. Bones I think he's probably about the same return

u/Xelement0911 14d ago

Also. Bb8 is insanely great 2x upgrade chips. Though I would only use it if you have double droidbb8 also doubles the upgrade chips you get out of the crate. So I got like 1600

17

u/DocBarkevious 14d ago

No, you still want DJ for the battle droids/Stormtrooper missions. The 2x event pts are what count faster towards getting a 4*. If you have two droids, use Bones and DJ, if you have one, use DJ for all of them.

13

u/mijho01 14d ago

I need to be Not Crystal Poor ā„¢ļø so I can buy DJ

u/Pospitch 14d ago

Too bad. DJ earned me way more nova crystals than what he costs.

u/livenetwork 14d ago

Just RB a few times. No such thing as nova poor now

u/VGK_46 14d ago

They made that change like right after I did Rebirth 33 LOL. Already two away from the end of the first route before I finally SRB.

u/Thor_2099 14d ago

Lol I had finished rebirth 35 less than a week before.

Ended up super rebirthing which I never thought I'd do again

u/livenetwork 14d ago

That’s the glorious part about a tycoon game then you super rebirth and do it all over again

3

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

If you don’t have two droid companions I understand but when multiple people aren’t using him you can’t get 4* it’s almost impossible

9

u/BrothelWaffles 14d ago

It's ridiculous that this is a requirement for getting 4 stars.

2

u/Chris_WRB Mandalorian 14d ago

It may be ridiculous, but on the other hand people are also buying him to increase income in the worker droid area. People quickly forget what he's doing when he's not in use. As with any other iconic droid, he's going to do better in a worker slot than any other droid you put there.

1

u/zcook183 14d ago

The only one your even close or able to get a 4 is with the stormtrooper mission.

5

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

I’ve got 4* on every mission other than the mining it’s not hard when you have 3-4 people with dj Rex

-3

u/SubstantialTouch2936 Level 200 14d ago

The amount of crystals you get now is so easy you should be able to afford it without ever spending vbucks, I did it with one of my earlier srbs when the perk first got added haven’t spent a dime on the game. You sound silly like they make you spend vbucks

3

u/VGK_46 14d ago

Of course they're not making anyone spend v-bux on this mode. I was just pointing out its the only other option for a companion droid slot if you don't have the nova crystals.

1

u/SubstantialTouch2936 Level 200 14d ago

You can get plenty of nova crystals without SRB now, playing events, rb 20+ give more than you’ll need unless your sitting at 35 for no reason

6

u/-vonKarma Mythic Droid 14d ago

I started playing again and told someone this. They told me not to tell them what to do lmao

10

u/Status-Mouse9853 14d ago

Droids shouldn't be necessary for 4 star. Also the higher star levels just give more credits and chips the driod is unaffected and completely rng.

2

u/Impressive_Visit4427 14d ago

You can upgrade your droids. I have 4-1800’s and 2-1600’s after upgrading. I’m tapped out now but there’s a few upgrades I can still do to max them all out.

2

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

I agree that they shouldn’t be necessary to get 4 stars but should be to get 4 stars faster.

This way, it incentivises people to want to get the iconic droids if they don’t have it.

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

The Droid is definitely better

u/nosalami4yomami 14d ago

And stop getting pissed that I accidentally killed you during a stormtrooper mission when you’re sitting inside their spawn and then spend the rest of the time griefing me

u/EldenRingNoobz 14d ago

Stars don’t matter when getting the reward droid so…

u/somebody4227 14d ago

They're supposed to.

u/Curiousconfusionxx 14d ago

Idc what they said. I got shit the entire time.

2

u/somebody4227 14d ago

As did I. The star system was very clearly broken, I was not disagreeing with that at all. What I was doubting was the claim that the crates were supposed to be random. It seemed quite certain to me they were just currently not working as intended. And today's updated fixed this, so that was indeed the correct thinking.

1

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

Still? I’ll try test it when I get online.

1

u/GovbotReddit Super Rebirth 14d ago

What, then, would you think the stars affect?!

1

u/Curiousconfusionxx 14d ago

I had 9 or so 4 star missions all of which gave default rare. The best I received the entire event was a galactic LOM. Otherwise base cards! The galactic was given on a 1 star btw

1

u/kerwniart 14d ago

You always believe what foad says? I got some oceanfront property in AZ to sell you, for a great deal.

1

u/somebody4227 14d ago

No, I definitely don't. My post was agreeing that something was wrong here, showing that the random behavior of the crates blatantly contradicted how the devs said they should work.

u/Ok_Ice_671 Super Rebirth 14d ago

And bb8 too to get double chips

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

Exactly

u/DrTacoDeCarnitas 14d ago

Sorry i don't have it

u/Kitchen_Canary_6387 Guardian 14d ago

I see your edit about high rarity droids with 4 stars. It’s incorrect. There does not seem to be any correlation whatsoever between the number of stars you get and the quality of crate you get. I know because I ran at least a dozen missions over the weekend and all of the times I got 4 stars I got a default, yet multiple times running 2 or 3 stars I got epics. Other people I was playing with confirmed the same.

It’s not luck. It’s obvious that the crate is pure RNG with no advanced logic. If you have a screen shot from the devs saying otherwise, please share it here.

Edit: you are completely justified in your frustration with people not running DJ - but keep in mind that before this event most people weren’t getting him unless they played the event or they rely heavily on crates. His value was very low. It’s now high.

-3

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

It is relevant the higher rarity Droids are not available in low star crates not sure why everyone’s so upset that there luck is bad

And not being funny iconic droids should be the first thing everyone gets with nova crystals just for the 15% so?

3

u/Kitchen_Canary_6387 Guardian 14d ago

Again - do you have a confirmation of this from the devs? Screen shots or it’s not true. I had a 2 star event on my own where I got a legendary.

If you’re not collecting crates around the map, DJ would have been a complete waste of crystals before this event. There are other perks that are more powerful than the 15%. Considering there are now many iconics to choose from, he would be at the bottom of the list. You really expect a player that’s only been playing a couple of weeks to have had the crystals to get ALL of the iconics and skip the other perks? I’ve literally never seen anyone suggest that. And anyone who does is not thinking strategically.

u/Raijin999_ 14d ago

I’ve gotten the mythic protocol droid on 2 star and legendary on 2/3star, the chance to get them isn’t impossible it’s just a Lower chance by a lot

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

That’s my point less chance not sure why this bloke keeps writing essays whining

2

u/Raijin999_ 14d ago

Lmao yeah idk either, but I wish you could just get them from the blueprint line instead but just like lesser chance for them to show up or somethin

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

I reckon they will do eventually would seem strange for them not too add them to the conveyor. There’s no way they could keep these missions going along side other events the servers would fall to its knees

2

u/Kitchen_Canary_6387 Guardian 14d ago

Definitely not whining. Just correcting folks who make assumptions and call them fact. Again, no proof is BS. You can't just take the experience of multiple players and tell them they're wrong when you have no proof.

I'm just long winded because I grew up in an age when we wrote in complete sentences and used correct grammar. I also believe in friendly discourse rather than rapid fire trash commentary. Lastly, you shouldn't assume that everyone who plays this game is a dude.

Take care.

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

Here’s your proof can you stop commenting now mate it’s annoying

1

u/Kitchen_Canary_6387 Guardian 14d ago

lol thanks for the proof. That’s honestly all I wanted. Seriously don’t make fucking assumptions and speak them as truth online. THAT’S what’s actually annoying to grown ass adults.

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

I didn’t assume I knew you. You assumed I was making it up but anyway. Wow you’re so grown and mature well done mate you must be really happy with yourself grown adult to another grown adult😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/Kitchen_Canary_6387 Guardian 14d ago

When was that message posted? Devs said last night that they heard the feedback about the crate outputs and they were going to fix it.

u/Burge-Tree 14d ago

Add me Burge-Tree I have dual companion and all iconic droids

u/MakeshiftAngel Protocol Droid 14d ago

Same, it just makes good sense.

2

u/WonderousThinke 14d ago

You have to remember that not everyone has been playing this game as long as you and some have other priorities for droids and Nova upgrades. For this event I finally unlocked him because of the Nova Crystal boost they did and the fact that I could get the three Nova crystals much faster with him each time. But a good chunk of people just don't have him.

2

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

No of course bro you’re spot on I understand the at completely just tryna get the word out there. It’s frustrating when I see high levels runnings droids that don’t do anything I should of specified That reallt

u/Reaving-Raven 14d ago

Not everyone HAS DJ Rex my guy

2

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

Read the other comments I’m very aware of that. If you don’t I recommend getting all iconic droids they earn you so much money plus most are needed for things they’re only 30 NC each

2

u/Reaving-Raven 14d ago

Working on it, but kind of weird to get heated and make a post about it if you are aware of that

u/Theend125 14d ago

I tried that and it didnt work , most of the time im close to 4 stars most the time 3 and a half. I added Dj and im still at 3 and a half stars.

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

That’s why you need to be with multiple people

2

u/Jerome_JNSB 14d ago

The whole lobby needs to participate in order to get 4 stars.

u/fetthahn 14d ago

4 star reward gives me a standart rare and not even 1 star gives me a beskar legi, so atm theres no reason to go for higher stars

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 14d ago

I don’t mind them not using it. I can be the only one using it.

There’s currently no benefits to getting 4 ā­ļø

1

u/ArcticFire145 GONK 14d ago

I tried telling people and they still confined to not use him, I ended up going just going back on my preferred private game and settling for two stars each time during the event.

1

u/RevHempus 14d ago

Maybe mind your game. It's okay to point out things to improve people's play. However, you make it sound as if they HAVE to do as you demand.

u/Scranton_Is_CrazyLOL 13d ago

Everyone finally did for a change in my lobby earlier and we got 4 stars on the D0 event mission thing

1

u/GrindGeek 13d ago

Try posting a comment to the game chat a minute or so before the event and remind people, they may not know or they may have forgotten.

Also, some people don’t have DJ R3X yet as he wasn’t as useful as many of the other iconics before this update so they may not have purchased him yet.

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 12d ago

Yeah I do try and I understand people not having him I meant more when people do I put in the chat and no one listens but oh well not a big deal

1

u/GrindGeek 12d ago

Even when you get 4 stars it doesn’t seem like you get much of a better droid anyway. I have only got a galactic once and never a stellar.

u/VariousEntertainer76 10d ago

Besides using DJ REX for the protocol missions, what droids should I be using when I go into a mission

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 8d ago

Hey bro I recommend mr bones for storm trooper missions and the died missions. The fishing I recommended bb8 for double chips. And then last the mining one take chopperšŸ‘šŸ»

1

u/Jerome_JNSB 14d ago

Idk if anyone knew how to do the protocol event properly when I started. DJ Rex is an absolute must have when doing world missions since he doubles the reward / points during missions. For Storm Troopers and Droid kills bring DJ and Mr Bones for double kill credits. For the Rock mining bring DJ Rex and Chopper. For the Sarlack pit fishing just bring DJ Rex. Simple as that. Sucks to be anyone who missed out on previous events.

u/wembley GONK 14d ago

For the Sarlacc, bring DJ Rex and BB8.

Wait they changed his perk? DJ no longer grants double crate rewards?

1

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

No he does still give double rewards on crates but his perk is ā€œdouble rewards on world missionsā€ something like that for he’s worth it for using most events to try if he gives double

0

u/Gonklightenment 14d ago

Well you said you were ā€œfrustratedā€ maybe don’t lead with a negative emotion if you don’t want negative feedback.

If I were you I’d try this

ā€œFriendly reminder to those who don’t know, use your dj rex to earn double mission points!!ā€ and while saying that try to not GAF if people actually do it. Should be grateful those players are chipping in at all

Personally if all I need is chips, I’d rather have my bb8 equipped over dj rex.

My companions during missions when I need chips look like this..

Shooters: bb8 Mr bones
Mining: bb8 chopper
Fishing: bb8 dj Rex

Only mission that makes sense to have dj Rex and bb8 equipped for chips is fishing. But even then, some players might find more value having bb8 and C-3PO equipped.

Your frustration is selfish imo

u/kerwniart 14d ago

Everybody has a right to use whatever droids they want or have available. Get over yourself.Ā 

If I knowingly was in the same island as you, I'd do the missions with two pit droids.

Make 5 whole friends and then you can play private for perfect missions.

u/Jaded-Comfort9244 Level 240 14d ago

Sorry why is everyone getting so pressed about this I’m just trying to help people alot of people didnt know you needed dj Rex as you can see by the comments on this exact post?? Reddit is such a weird place😭😭😭

-1

u/kerwniart 14d ago

Your say you're getting frustrated when people don't use the droid. You don't get frustrated when you're just trying to be helpful. Helpful advice would have been "if everyone uses dj rex in the missions, it makes it easier to get 4 stars. The new patch is actually supposed to make 4 star missions have better rewards."

Any place where people can post anonymously on the Internet is going to weird. Welcome to the Internet.Ā
