is this account worth keeping

[sudden flare]

I’m a returning player and have a very old account is it worth returning to or should I just start over (I want to be competitive in fleet arena and gac for crystals)

Here’s the account

https://swgoh.gg/p/843837896/characters/

And here are the top players in my shard

[uneven vigil]

Every account is worth keeping
If you go for a gl ship quick you can climb those ranks, and squad arena doesn’t matter anymore

And with gac, when you start your account doesn’t matter

[sudden flare]

Yeah the issue with that is I’m nowhere near executor or profundity

[high igloo]

He can’t climb the ranks quick

Top five all have maxed Execs

[uneven vigil]

A 4* exec can still beat a 7* one
So he just climbs at his payout and expects to fall later

[sudden flare]

this account is several years old I wouldnt be surprised if the top five get leviathans

[high igloo]

How about the Prof

[uneven vigil]

Exec can still beat prof

[high igloo]

I would say that, unless you are very attached to this account, it might be worth it to start over

[sudden flare]

I dont rly have any attachment to this account tbh

[high igloo]

You can still theoretically get high in the fleet ranks however it would be more difficult than just starting a new account

[sudden flare]

i was going for slkr and i rly dislike the sequels so idk

[uneven vigil]

Well it’s like
Do you wanna spend the next 4 months doing it all again

[high igloo]

Hyperdrive Bundle is good to skip that grind

[uneven vigil]

Not everyone has 50 bucks laying around

[sudden flare]

if i started over i would be ftp

[high igloo]

Hyperdrive isn’t necessary for a new account

It’s just a skip to level 85

[sudden flare]

honestly dont even remember the initial grind might be fun

[uneven vigil]

Level 75-85 is pretty tedious

[sudden flare]

and it gives unessessary fluff making gac harder right?

[uneven vigil]

Not anymore

[high igloo]

Gp doesnt affect gac anymore

[uneven vigil]

Gp doesn’t matter

[sudden flare]

oh really didnt know that how does matchmaking work now

[high igloo]

Bracket based

[median fern]

coming from someone 3.4m gp, i wouldnt start over. i know personally id get burnt out really quickly knowing that while im still slumming it below 85 working weeks to get a g10 when i could be working towards a gl and leg ship, and id probably end up quitting again. you can climb fleet again it would just not be something you can expect soon. i’d get exec now and start planning to get levi as soon as you get those conquest units up, that’ll get you up in the ranks. but you can probably stay in top 20 with exec

[uneven vigil]

“Skill rating”
You win some then you go up
You lose some then you go down

[high igloo]

At the very least make sure to review the big changes that have been made

Raids have been changed and now Jabba is the big guy to get

[sudden flare]

yeah ik that part ive watched a bunch of farming guides and the end goal is always jabba

[median fern]

not to say slkr is useless, though. i think you’re early enough in slkr reqs to still pivot to jabba first and pick up slkr after

you can coincide slkr and exec with an exec priority

[high igloo]

Definitely get your palp up and running

[median fern]

jabba goes hand in hand with prof, but thats not great on offense so ive heard

[high igloo]

Gear Mara

[uneven vigil]

Prof is offense based…?

[median fern]

oh, my bad

havent looked too much into it

[sudden flare]

so u all think I should keep this one?

[high igloo]

Actually it seems like you had previously bought the Hyperdrive

[uneven vigil]

Prof > exec on offense
Exec > prof on defense

[median fern]

i would, but its all down to your enjoyment in the end

[high igloo]

If you were to restart you could likely still have the bundle

[uneven vigil]

If you bought hyperdrive, just keep it

[median fern]

oh right, this makes sense

[sudden flare]

maybe tbh i dont remember

[median fern]

look and see if its available in the store

[sudden flare]

they offer it to people at lvl 85?

[high igloo]

Characters like D Maul and Sidious are at exactly 5 stars gear 8 which is a telltale sign of a HDB

[median fern]

yeah but you can only buy it once

it will be gone if youve bought it before

[high igloo]

I recognize all of the characters that are at or above that gear and star level

[sudden flare]

dont see it ig i must have picked it up at some point

[median fern]

probably

[sudden flare]

oh yeah and i should mention by "not keeping" the account i didnt mean deleting it i meant put it on the back burner and come back to it now and again if I get burned out

[median fern]

you could do that too, you’re just putting yourself lower in the fleet ranks if you think you may come back to it either way

[sudden flare]

its just that at this point considering what everyone else in my fleet arena has idk if its possible to be competitive at this point

[median fern]

if i were you, and i had enough time, id carry on with this account as well as open a new one and just see how you get on

but that may be a bit much for returning

[sudden flare]

thats an interesting idea

Yeah i might do that as long as it is possible to fix this account

what should i do first then

should i finish slkr or push something else

[finite dawn]

I’d say rush exec
I’m in a similar situation, I stopped playing this game in like 2019 and came back a couple months ago, and top 10 in my fleet shard all have maxed executors. I’m rushing exec to get higher in fleet arena to get daily crystals, then I’m going for a GL

I’m also making sure to get my core teams up while going for exec

[sudden flare]

Ok cool ig I’ll do that then

[sudden flare]

I have 15k gems rn should i just use them on the normal refreshes and save the majority of it or is there something else I can buy
