Huge Lack of Cartel coins as a reward so the player can choose what to get or where to use ingame.  and with the little ammount of cartel coins already for this season there is barely enough to even unlock those weapons and gears mounts, ect u gain from the rewards even the new companion. but this subject isnt made to bash on the event. just raising opinions here about this event.

It really does seem they went out of their way to ruin something so many enjoyed.  I mean this took effort.

"Ok lets increase the cost of unlocks!"
"Oooooh wait what if we cut their rewards in half?!"
"I know, I know lets not even mess with the two venders on fleet so they have nothing new to spend coins on?!"

I hate being ugly but this is just sad.  
Another opportunity for a 10th anniversary celebration trashed. Instead of going above and beyond they went.....below.

So far the complete lack of anything to spend Galactic Season tokens on. I have 15/15 on my primary servers starting out this season and nothing to buy. I am hoping they added new pets or something to the vender and they just haven't rotated in yet.

Yeah, in my opinion it is. I was actually looking forward to getting back into the game and grind Galactic Seasons 3, which was the only worthwhile thing left for me to do. When I saw that you can only get half the coins, that you have to spend way more to unlock the new stuff in Collections, that we don't get anything new to spend the tokens on and finally stumbled upon the terribly designed season weekly where you have to stand in a casino for hours to catch the 20 cheating gamblers due to their ridiculously low respawn rate, I completely lost any interest. Also doesn't help at all that this season's rewards are pretty unappealing except for the companion and that there currently are more fun games to grind for.

I'm not a big fan of these dramatic farewell speeches, but here we go...

Farewell

Did I see the CC's were cut down to 1600 now? Wow they really did nerf that. I'm not sure it's even worth doing it on more then 1 server now honestly. That's a lot of work for 1600 CC's.

The respawning of cheaters isn't a problem if you go to another smaller casino. I had a Pub at Dreviad and an Imp at Varanth and I switched between them. It took less than an hour to get all 20, and I had no competition from any other players for the gamblers when they spawned. And I had a third character making Invasion Force stuff in the meantime, so I wasn't wasting too much time.

Rewards: Meh. I was hoping for a companion with actual armor slots this season, but if they had to give us one without, I suppose a droid is an improvement as they don't wear clothes anyway. The decos look hard to use, and the armor sets are nice but nothing special. The creature mount is the only thing that really catches my eye this season. And how about some more NEW vendor rewards to spend tokens on?

The reduced CC is quite disappointing, but it would have been somewhat less disappointing if inflation wasn't such a huge issue that buying/selling of the more desirable CM items could still be done easily via the GTN. As it is, I feel that there are so many items I want that I can only buy directly with CC, so the packs are a poor substitute IMHO.

What really irks me though is that they raised the rewards' unlock costs. If they really wanted to make up for the reduced CC rewards, they'd have lowered the unlock costs. 😡

Overall I give this season a solid "meh". A downgrade from last season, though not completely useless I guess.

Agree completely. Such a shame, after the total lack of content packed updates for the 10th anniversary we were promised, I was really looking forward to the new season just for something to do and now it feels like they just nerfed the rewards so much it's just another disappointment.

So far it definitely seems like the first two seasons had better rewards

Personally, I was hoping for a force user companion.. already hoping s4 will fulfill that, not that the droid comp this season isn't interesting

 

i did have some expectations some more returning titles but we are getting one new one this year. so there is that, like for EV NiM, and KP NiM which are retired but the titles should have a fun return for GS as awards,  The Infernal, The Unyielding, Hero of the Gorinth Canyon from the old heroic The Mandalorian Terror on Balmorra, or Adept title for some dark or light sides forces users, maybe give the imperial side on Ald Baron title of doing the storyling planet for all male toons completing it, and baroness for all female toons completeing it impside only. and then change the Paladin of House Organa to just Paladin for all the toons republic side completing the Planet story of Ald. Keeper of Truth and The Mantellian should be doable from either all class origin storys doing those heroics. Ord Mantell and Tython should have heroics open to trooper, smuggler, Jedi Knight and Jedi Counciler, same for the The Heartless and Imperial Scholar the heroics should be opened by all the imperial Story Origins Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bountry Hunter, and Imperial Agent. ( takes a breathe. ) and bring back the weapons of Dread Forges Weapons. those were awesome weapons and have them be Legacy Bound.

I was under the impression that with more cartel packs as rewards they compensate for less CC's. am I incorrect here?

Less CCs is a slap and not compensated by minor cartel packs increase. 1600 CCs is a huge drop from prior seasons. It used to be worthwhile to buy levels with CCs, Now, it's not even a whisper of a thought.

If I've calculated correctly, there are only 1600 cartel coins in GS3 total through level 100
Level: #
8: 200
48: 200
63: 400
88: 400
98: 400

honestly they give you 1 or 2 ulitmate Cartel Pack and i doubt those you can resell to the other players so no i dont think its compensating but it is what is it.

so 1600 coins on five servers would be...  8000 Cartel Coins to gather and save before spending it. not bad . but i wouldnt be using them to do server transfers either because takes 1000 coins to do that. and they wont reduce that price for a long time. sighs. 

i mean 8k isnt bad either if its saved from doing this on all give servers. so that is something i can do and and just get one new armor unlock it, and just dont use the rest of the coins until they do a reduced Server Transfer Sale one of these days. which would help me out getting my achievements i done so far on one server i play on.

Okay here's my opinion, the Dyes are exquisite 🤩! The Price Hike on Collections atrocious 🤮! The cheating modules aren't very well explained I was parked at the slot machine over an hr.🥴

There's another 400 at level 96, so it's 2000 total per server.

So do the unlocks cost more than the CC earned? anyone do the math on that yet?

Someone did In another thread, I think they said that you have like 120CC left over, but not sure how they came to that conclusion unless they bought the entire pass to find out the unlock costs.

As for my opinion on this, I think it's BS how they've increased the price.  Less CC isn't so bad, but the price increase for the account level unlocks is what has me angry.
