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"...
Forum Discussion
I really like the idea of these themed events. I hope they continue over time. They are a great way to reward Vader shards to players and bring relevancy to heroes we may not use as often.
Giving the events a second tier with a higher difficulty will satisfy heavier pay players that thirst for a challenge. Providing the achievement at the lower level is a great tradeoff for the lower geared / leveled players. This seems like a good balanced approach.
Much was already covered above so I won't repeat it, but I do want to call out Tiny's feedback concerning cancelling an event. I have seen a good deal of trepidation to build Scoundrels by players as a result of the Kit Fisto event. I think it also set a bit of a bad precedent because now every event is getting threads looking for comments as if it's up for judgement - so it gives the rage bunnies on the forum incentive to flame and try to drum up a mass of trolls if they don't like it. Some statement in general on these events about longevity would be good.
