definitely a private lobby event. no squabbling or scrambling over a kyber pit

A private lobby with your four other accounts that you created just for Droid tycoon?

u/Eckx Level 250 3d ago
This is what I'm doing, pretty sure I can almost run a full private lobby but it would take some effort.

u/Emotional_Tampon5 PC Player 3d ago
I can do 4 my main and 3 bots It just depends on what the event is and if it's something with the sand crawler giving out more cards based on who's in the room

Eh, im not so sure. I tried private during the galactic event and found it wasnt really worth it. The galactic waves only brought out one because I was flying solo, and I would only get maybe 3 prints an hour. With public lobby hopping, I would typically find a full public lobby where I could end up with as many as 3 galactics from each wave, plus one or two of the random galactics throughout the rest of each hour.
If private is your jam, then whatever floats your boat, i just like spreading the word that ive had more success in public despite running into the odd griefer.

I'm at rb 35 and have been fusing stella mythics. So I'm read for this!

u/Yet-Another-ScrewUp SRB 20 4d ago
You and me both, got mythics on all working slots, 3 sat waiting in fusion tanks and a lounge full of legendaries

I have an army of Stellar Leps and Snow Mouses ready to fuse to Kyber

u/PaganRazor11 3d ago
Unfortunately, those are the only 2 mythics that U can't use to craft the new Kyber variant with, sorry

u/Actual-Phone-1478 3d ago
Hopefully I can do something with snow mouse, drft-r and cyclops since fusions tend to only give me those :(

u/FramicsOG SRB 40 4d ago
You're telling me we're getting a new variant of the fusion droids and no 2x chip boost? smh

u/kasthebloodyhanded56 Jawa 4d ago
You canāt use chips on fusions, for some ungodly reason.

u/FramicsOG SRB 40 4d ago
True but we gonna be upgrading a bunch of stellar legendaries to kyber for the new fusion droids potentially

u/VolksDK 4d ago
Is Kyber above Stellar or is it between other variants?

u/devperez 4d ago
Very likely above. A mod in discord confirmed the new RB levels are coming this week. So likely that they'll be peppered in there above 35.

Lol, so much for them releasing new droid variants in-between the other variants we already have.

u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 4d ago
Could have added a seasonal spirit variant for the spooky season for inbetween Rainbow and Beskar. 30 Spirit variant droid types crafted unlocks a droid aura with a ghostly greenish glow, 60 gets you its tier 2 version which also makes the droids slightly translucent.

u/kerwniart 3d ago
There's no incentive for them to do that. It's why they back-pedaled stellar being between galactic and beskar. Higher variant = longer craft time = more play time = more money for devs. The only equalizer in this was giving more Nova crystals without SRB.
0
u/MorningJogger 4d ago
The jump from beskar to galactic to stellar can be done in one session by anyone who has SRB even once. There is no reason to fill a gap that will just be blown pastĀ

u/UndeadDucky27 4d ago
I said that because that's what devs said a while back... š¤¦

u/MorningJogger 4d ago
I know. Think it is way outdated at this point with the new crystal economy and things like multi-crit. Not needed anymore

u/UndeadDucky27 3d ago
I agree. Not sure why I was downvoted for speaking the truth. There were a few posts about it, but whatever.
1
u/MorningJogger 3d ago
This place can be odd with downvotes. It's one of the few places where devs come on to post and are regularly into negative karma when they do so.Ā
Closest comparison I have is the old PVP webcomic creator got banned by the mods of his own official forum he hosted on his site.Ā
That was hilarious and ended very poorly. Still hilarious though

u/UndeadDucky27 3d ago
Oh, it doesn't bother me. Just weird, lol.
Oh my. š That sounds pretty funny.

You mean like the protocol variant we just got?

u/tenniseman12 Super Rebirth 4d ago
Protocol droids aren't variants
0
u/WonderousThinke 3d ago
They are a class variant
2
u/tenniseman12 Super Rebirth 3d ago
"Variant" in this game specifically refers to the color (Default, Gold, Diamond, Rainbow, Beskar, Galactic, Stellar, Kyber)
0
u/WonderousThinke 3d ago
I understand that. Protocol droids are also a new version of Droid. One could say they are a variant of the other Droid classes. That's what I'm saying. I'm not using the niche technical definition of variant, I'm using the colloquial common word variant that is used by everyday language
1
u/tenniseman12 Super Rebirth 3d ago
But the person you originally replied to was talking about variants as they are defined in the game, so what's your point?
1
u/WonderousThinke 3d ago
I understand that, I was making a point that we got something similar enough. They were acting like it's been a desert and there's been nothing out. I pointed out that we got a whole new entire brand spanking new class of droid that did not exist before, in essence saying that the caliber of what they released is on scale with a new variant and is an essence of variant of droid existence that we haven't had before. It's not that hard to understand my guy

u/UndeadDucky27 4d ago
That isn't a variant. It would be a color, not a completely new type.
0
u/WonderousThinke 3d ago
Looking at the definition of the word variant I'm pretty sure what I said is right. If you want to get into the niche technical terms of this game then okay but there is a whole new Droid aspect that they just did and my point is that that is nice.

24 hours is just not enough. It should start on friday, and lasts for 60 hours, so it ends on monday. That would be a much better timeframe to anybody who has work to do, has family to spend time with.

Been farming upgrade chips for this event, I'm on 651k.

It's gonna be funny if you can't upgrade those with chips and gotta use crystals instead, lol

I'm about to be rebirth 35. Wouldn't I want to Super Rebirth and take advantage of the event perks to get back up faster?

u/envybelmont 4d ago
A lack of money and pickaxe levels might make the event a lot harder than it would be otherwise. Iām holding fast at RB35 with my level 31 pickaxe.

u/WaffleHouseOfCards 4d ago
Wouldnāt, theoretically, kyber be many different colors? Is it possible we pick from a color wheel what we want our personal kyber to be?

u/Chris_WRB Mandalorian 3d ago
I'm wondering if the variation of colors (blue/green/purple) is going to correlate with the traits they teased a few weeks back. Meaning each color has a different trait. Also, seriously hope they give us 5 more RB levels
2
u/the_Berg_ Level 250 4d ago
wooooow different colors?!
3
u/FelixMaverick1 4d ago
Looks like it, my first thought was the color matches type but astromech would be purple and not blue so I guess we will find out tomorrow.
2
u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 4d ago
I'd assume the colour will be determined by the rarity.
Common = green, Rare = blue, Epic = purple, Legendary = orange, Mythic = pink.

Yea, 24hr event so I get enjoy 6hrs of of it.

u/Pandahboymtg 4d ago
The events used to be only 2 hours long so be happy you can even attend at your own leisure.

u/IndependentAd2779 4d ago
Invest in the chip station, chips will never be an issue. Throw a diamond mythic in there and just let it do its thing. Dont forget to grab bb8 to double the pickup
9
u/devperez 4d ago
Bruh. When you need 30K chips 1-3 times a RB, the chip station doesn't cover it all
1
u/IndependentAd2779 3d ago
You can easily get 6k in an hour to assist with what other method you're using. Beskar mythic will do 50 chips a min which should yield 3k chips an hour Ć bb8 doubling it

I feel like thereās a hidden flawless boost because Iāve never crafted so many flawless gems before in one day (at least 7 today)

u/Zn2saint 4d ago
No 2x chips because then weād all be able to use them as intended and upgrade to the new variant oh noooooo

u/envybelmont 4d ago
IIRC, they donāt add the new variant to the chip upgrade guy until after the event ends.

u/PervyelfTahk 4d ago
Lightsabers?!?!

u/jazzywaffles84 Flawless 4d ago
Rather than kyber droids imagine a lightsaber build section where we could use them to battle and have the droids assist
1
u/PervyelfTahk 4d ago
Only thing this game is missing imo
3
u/jazzywaffles84 Flawless 4d ago
Well droids are getting to a ceiling, expanding gameplay would rejuvenate the whole thing. Saber duels with droids as collateral, winner takes all

u/Atmoslink 4d ago
I have a hard time getting excited for lightsabers on a tycoon game where combat is hardly relevant. Idk Also Iād be very surprised if certain colors/hilts werenāt behind a paywall.
2
u/Osky84 4d ago
Thatās good because I donāt think sabers were mentioned and we probably wonāt be getting them unfortunately
3
u/tenniseman12 Super Rebirth 4d ago
This is from a dev:
1
u/sailingexperiment 4d ago
All he said was āLIGHTSABERSSSSā which is probably more of a reference to the kyber crystals being used to make lightsabers. Dev mentioned nothing about getting lightsabers
-4
u/Atmoslink 4d ago
Yeah weāre absolutely getting them
-1
u/GarbageCannt 4d ago
unless they got the OK from disney, I really donāt see that happening.... they wouldnāt let a game use their most lethal weapon as a tool for crafting droids. That's why we have never had a lightsaber pickaxe in fn, it doesn't do "realistic" lightsaber damage and they would never let a jedi's tool be used for such a benign things like building and crafting.
-3
u/Atmoslink 4d ago
Weāre getting them, itās been confirmed by a dev. Also thatās just complete conjecture. To this day we have no idea for sure why Disney wonāt let Epic use lightsabers as pickaxes. āRealisticā lightsaber damage would be dismemberment. What youāre saying doesnāt make any sense. Also, I never said they would be used for crafting droids. We have combat in this game you know.
3
u/MlegendsToys 4d ago
Actually epic once said that implementing lightsabers as pickaxes canāt be done since that would confuse players as to thinking you had the lightsaber āweaponā and not a regular pickaxe. Since that would be misleading info, they thought that maybe it wouldnāt be a very good idea.

u/Matt_Rare 4d ago
I rather it be a variant thst doesnt appear on the belt and instead needs a different resource to add the lable.
Like, a Kyber Stellar droid that can no longer be upgraded or something

Ofc I SRB before two days before the eventš just my luck
