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
Thanks for the feedback guys. I can't wait for you to get a hold of the event Monday. A few points:
- The higher difficulty tier isn't aimed at P2P. In fact, I don't design anything specifically that way. The events repeat specifically so that f2p player can choose to farm characters for them or not. If people want to spend to do it NOW, I'm not going to say no. But foremost on my mind is putting events into the game so people have a wide variety of interesting and challenging content to do.
- As for rewards, these aren't intended to fix the credit crunch. We launched Credit Heist to help with that. The million credits is just meant to be a meaty reward for completing it.
- The reason you're getting greens and blues and lower level purples is so you can use them on new characters you might want to try, like say, all those Ewoks you're about to get shards for. Or the Empire/Droids characters you will need to level up to try alternate strategies. The items this time are the same as last time, but in the future I'll mix it up. Anything that isn't raid exclusive should be safe to add, in theory. But that's a collaboration between myself and another department that owns the game economy.
- Thanks a ton for the kind words. There's a lot of negativity in online communities, it's refreshing that you guys are so upbeat.
- The Force Champions events were cancelled for a lot of reasons, some of which were... "under the hood" and I can't talk about. Suffice to say we learned a valuable lesson or five from those. And while they won't be coming back, that doesn't impact these, Credit Heist, Yoda, etc... I'll see if maybe there's a way Jesse can message that to the wider community at large.
