Suggestion: Weekend Challenges (and challenges in general)

So, this 4th of May Star Wars challenge says you have to do the weekend challenge to ear the Leia skin. Even though it doesn't specify WHAT the challenge is (which should be clearly said but is not) we surmise that it is the Ewok Hunt challenge with 10 Ewoks in the Flashlight.

However, after 5 games of Ewok Hunt I have not obtained one single Ewok in the Flashlight. Why? Because 4 of the 5 games I played forced me to START as an Ewok. No, I am not about to set for an hour or more playing this mode HOPING I can start as a Storm Trooper, and then hope I can actually get 10 Ewoks in the flashlight. It's NOT FUN. 

I am going to be clear, I dislike Ewok Hunt. Yes, it was kind of cute when it first came out for a few games, then was utterly boring and redundant. I never touched it again and had no desire too. Same with the Jetpack mode, not a fan. But, these challenges FORCE you to play modes you dislike in order to earn skins. I find this very offputting. It;s not fun, and aren;t games supposed to be fun?

So, I am going to suggest that you let us have two ways to earn skins or do these challenges. One being as you have it with the "Special" modes, and one playing the normal game somehow. Not everyone wants to set for an hour + playing a mode they dislike, essentially wasting time not having fun, to earn these skins or do the challenges for them. 

Also, with the Challenges, be clear in the text of it exactly WHAT you need to play or do in order to unlock to earn that challenge for the skin. It would be simple to just say "Do Ewok Flashlight Challenge" wouldn't it? Yes.

  • The greater problem is the challenges are bugged. Played for over an hour on ewok hunt, was a trooper twice, first time got 3 ewoks in the light... Next time got 5, so I should have had 8/10 for the challenge.... Except it resets after every round back to 0. After it reset both times to zero... I swore it off. Haven't been back into the game since either. Been 3 days now. No desire. Tired of the bugs in this game... Especially the ones that have been around for MONTHS.
