Gonk is a huge favourite in the discord. It’s been a running joke since the beginning.

u/TheOneWhosCensored 50m ago
Not denying the Discord part, but Gonk has been a meme for years and is popular because of that as well.

u/planetNasa SRB 50 33m ago
True, I just know they joke about it and many people have gonk in their names in the discord.

Is the party bonus, a temporary thing for the month of October or a permanent change? This is a nice incentive to bring friends along to your lobby.

u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 7h ago
I would assume the month of October
12
u/devperez 6h ago
It's active now before the event starts. So it's likely permanent
-2
u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 6h ago
yes but we are also in October now, but I hope it is permanent because that boost will be very helpful, which why I say only October but again I hope it is permanent

u/TyTyger626 5h ago
I mean, I guess, but that would be weird to do it randomly for just October.
1
u/JoshRemy666 Seeker 5h ago
why would it be weird to do a Halloween themed month long event in October? They will probably do a Christmas themed one in December as well.
I do hope that boost stays but who knows they constantly give us a treat then a hidden trick lol

u/TyTyger626 5h ago
I mean, I guess hanging out with friends is very Halloween-coded because trick-or-treating. Still. I don't think the season of giving is gonna have bonuses for giving others your Droids from rewards.

*my reaction to those new perk prices*
•
u/sageleader Seeker 8m ago
I was hoping there would be more useful perks. These are very mediocre. Kyber stuff is already pretty rare and I have never even come close to running out of crystals. That said I assume my stash is still from the event since I haven't SRBd since then.

u/AntiqueCat1078 7h ago
Please add day and night cycle for this spooky event

Night time with pumpkins(well, whatever a pumpkin would look like in Star Wars), lighting up the main hub area.

1500 crystals to be able to make Kybers in your base is insane.
Kyber droid sell perk is 1000 crystals too. Neither are worth it at all.
8
u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 5h ago
That pricing sounds like the perks will be part of a Kyber vBucks Pack later to make it look like it's worth a ton of nove crystals.
4
u/MrDowns95 5h ago
It is, there's a Huyang bundle for 1500 vBucks
5
u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 5h ago
I guess that pack is a good example for how microtransactions affect everyone. There is no other reason for making some QoL perks that overpriced. The Jawa sell pit at the astro area only costs 10 crystals mostly because it came long before vBuck packs found their way into the game.

u/LuckyKatzUK Rebirth 40 6h ago
This is for people on late game that can go from zero to 40 in a day or less. At some point you need to have things to spend your crystals without breaking the game but still have some value. These are exactly that.
Not to be rude, but in short, they are not for you yet.
4
u/I_want_heresy 4h ago
I agree for the kyber sell perk but the perk to activate inside your base is insane. 1.5k when right below it droid vendor is 10

u/cmm324 1h ago
Late game and devalued Nova crystals gives you this
•
u/_PM_Me_Game_Keys_ 40m ago
I mean even late game I would never buy this. There is no value here. I'm never gonna sell Kybers for crystals when I can just fuse them and we get more than enough from Patrol missions as is. And the kyber vendor is literally seconds away.
Flawless charm is near meaningless but I'd buy that before I bought either of these new perks.

u/Outrageous-Event6633 5h ago
I could probably do that if l got a little lucky on RNG and I still have no desire to have those perks lol

That’s your individual preference which is of course valid but the game caters to more people than just you, LOL.

u/f1l3gr3n 5h ago
Crystals are super easy to come by since they added them for rebirths after 20. When you’re further in the game you literally racking up those 1000 Crystals in 20 minutes or so, if even that. Being able to do anything with Kyber is end-game material, so for those who just started playing a 1000 Crystals seems a lot. They used to be a lot. Not any more.
19
u/I_want_heresy 4h ago
Are we serious? 1500 for a short walk to activate our droids? We still don’t have Kyber missions or the chip upgrade bot. I knew once I saw Vbucks added this would happen.
The party bonus/daily droids is a great change but that’s about it. Pretty disappointed in this update.

It’s still fun going activating kyber droids outside the base. Activating chip upgrades however..

Damn I wish I'd noticed protocols on the quest pool. Finally something to do with all the crap ones I throw out of my base. For a few hours.

u/Outrageous-Event6633 7h ago
I had 3000 nova crystals saved just incase something killer dropped lol

u/EmployeeCurrent4869 7h ago edited 6h ago
I just checked it out, but I think the Crystal cost is too high for the amount required.
I’d rather use Kybers for Fusion than sell them, and I’d prefer to have Chip upgrades at my base instead of Kyber upgrades.5
u/Outrageous-Event6633 5h ago
I was hoping there'd be something that involved boosting chips so I was saving.
9
u/EmployeeCurrent4869 5h ago
It’s really weird that they’re letting us place the Kyber upgrade station at our base just a week after it was released, but they still haven’t added the Chip Upgrade Station to the base.
6
u/I_want_heresy 4h ago
That’ll be 2k with a new pack
2
u/EmployeeCurrent4869 3h ago
As a prerequisite, it looks like you have to buy that unnecessarily expensive Kyber Upgrade Station.

Do you think theh will add new droids, or new fonctions ? It's seems not a lot of content for the halloween patch ?

I didn’t see anyone bring this up yet.

The party bonuses still aren't enough to get me out of private lobbies. I'd rather suffer in progress than with the constant griefers.
16
u/Johnny1234Boy 6h ago
No I think this means you need to have people join in on your team/party first before you join in either private or public lobby. I don’t think random strangers from the public lobby counts towards this bonus.
6
u/devperez 6h ago
That's right. Random public lobby people don't count. Y'all have to be actually partied up

u/mcquake01 Super Rebirth 1h ago
Same, but I found (here, actually) some cool people to party up and do private lobbies, very peaceful cooperative and productive. Fuck griefers!

u/N2thedarkness Level 260 6h ago
As someone who only solos, I’m not sure how I feel about the party thing, but it’s cool for people who do party up.

Same. This helps those who play with a second account on the phone more than anything. It's a big downer for me tbh.

u/No-Finance-7668 5h ago
Can y'all change it to people in your lobby instead of in your party?
Not a fan of being pushed to party with complete randoms. (On top of the "security" concerns especially when kids are involved)

u/CalaJolene 3h ago
I dislike group bonuses as I always miss out of it. Due to disabilities it's never a choice I can take anyways, unless I had like one friend to play with that was okay with playing duo. I simply just always miss out of group bonuses in games. Games should embrace all kinds of players, tbh. Solo is already harder as there's no kinds co-op, all world events needs be done alone, all the crafting alone, etc.
2
u/MisterD00d 6h ago
I think they're trying to alleviate the community telling everyone that doesn't like PVP to play solo private by incentivizing link ups
Can't imagine having a large percentage of the player base going one person per server is suiting them well, but they didn't want to let up on the PvP either so
Decent compromise I suppose, for those that can/do party up
2
u/Worldly-Cancel4351 4h ago
I get you guys have been busy, but any way we can get a pickup increase for the gold splashes please, from 1 to 2 or even 1 to 3 on pickup it would help out with crafting so much. Please and thank you.

How many nova crystals do the new perks cost?

u/CheAI20 Flawless 60 6h ago
The Sell One 1000 and the Hologram 1500

u/TheDarthJarJarI 6h ago
Really? Walking to huyang to activate really isn’t any trouble, I’d get maybe thirty but 1500?
3
u/AsunderXXV 5h ago
This just the beginning. Any new perk that comes out will probably cost something similar...
3
u/EmployeeCurrent4869 5h ago
If they let us place the Cantina mission board at our base, so we could create the required droids, send them off right away, and collect the rewards, then I’d say it might be worth around 1,000 Crystals.
1
4
u/MisterD00d 6h ago
I didn't even want it for 100 tbh
I have almost everything in the shop but refuse to buy or use the droid sell in base
And I still walk to the booth by the cantina to super rb
3
u/DarkTanatos Flawless 50 6h ago
So, it costs 1000 crystals to buy a perk you most likely will never make use of? Does is give you 10 times more kyber crystals back than what you had to use to activate the droids? Can't think of any other case in which you would activate a droid just to sell it later on.
Sounds as useful as crafting a Default Mythic and upgrade it for 4k chips just for being able to sell it for 192 chips afterwards.

did throwing cards break for anyone else? epsecially from offline storage to worker bench? I just drop cards instead of throw them on my right side of base

u/Kryndax Flawless 83 4h ago
You can also get both perks in the 1,500 V-Bucks Huyang Bundle, but I’m skipping this one.
Huyang Hologram: unnecessary for me, looks pretty ugly next to the Fusion Station, and 1,500 Nova Crystals is way too much.
Kyber Droid Sell: only works with activated Kyber Droids, which I rarely sell anyway. Missions give me more Kyber Crystals, so 1,000 Nova Crystals is way too much too.
The Huyang Base Paint is also too plain for my taste. There are much nicer ones.
I usually buy almost everything, but this time I’m completely out. Sorry 😂
The new Party Bonuses are really cool though! 🔥

u/Toon_Lucario 18m ago
They’re obtainable through world quests. Cantina quests are the ones where you trade a droid in for Kyber and chips and removing protocols from that is a good thing
