Assault Battles #2: Forest Moon
Hey everyone, On Monday, July 4, we will be launching the next Assault Battle. These events are aimed at near-max level players (>=75). You may have already played the initial one, "Military Might"...

I think in addition to looking directly at the event there is another issue. Since you cancelled the Kit Fisto event, people are quite worried that other events, "if received poorly" will also be cancelled. For instance, regarding bounty hunters, I heard from many. Ok, if I invest 5 million in this event. I get 1 million today. But what if it gets cancelled because no one else has bounty hunters. Then as the F2P player I am screwed.
The same of course holds for this event. I think you need to be very clear that this is a repeating event that will not go away.
As for the event itself, 1 million is a low payout for the amount of investment this will take for many players. I think most have a good RG and a good IG-86. After that, it will be spotty. Some will have IG-88. But that is probably about it. Vader has been useless so far, so most have not invested in him. Therefore, this would be a really high investment event for a lot of F2P players. This is especially the case if it is like the last event, where it is all or nothing. Beating 8 rooms with characters you have not invested in is a tall order.
Therefore, the bottom line is that if you expect people to invest heavily in these characters, they need to be assured that this event is not going away. The Kit Fisto cancellation set a really bad and frightening precedent that you will have to work hard to smooth over.
