Concerning the new event....

I think knightfall is fine and think they just did the promotional event as a easy shard gift as part of may the 4th and the era theme.

The Knightfall Era Battles are just fine. I just now achieved 13M, and I'm getting Tiers 5 and 6 - 1 star, so I have to do it repeatedly, but it can be done. Yes, I had to wait for CX-2 to come out before I could do Tiers 5 and 6... and I can only imagine at how much easier it will be once Disguised Clone Trooper is available.

This is not a hill you should want to die on. Be happy that F2P players can get 60 shards or whatever is. I know I was happy getting 4200 SSCs

I said "apology for their poor management", not the event itself. It should not have been released while only one of the recommended four toons was actually available.

Why not? with 1 character you can 3* tiers 1-3. and 2 characters and rng you can 3 star the rest. I have 1,2,3,4,6 all 3 stared. and tier 5 2 stared. I would rather them give it to us early so I can get rewards longer. and f2p players can get free shards. Then them release all 4 characters then release the era battle much more scarcely. I think this era battle system is one of their better ways of handling things in a while. 

i think the ROTS event was aimed at newer players who are still unlocking the characters that are given there.
for the higher end game players you get some shard currency but for the newer players those 40 shards from each of those is an amazing gift.

feels like the LSBs they rolled out are also aimed mostly at the newer players as well not even allowing ppl with 7 star razor crest to buy the LSB to get their BAM to relic 5
and then they went back to SLKR and Rey LSBs and to make them "worthwhile" for older members who already got those GLs / bought the previous they made them a bit higer relic level. bottom line this whole "May the 4th celebration" feels aimed at newer players. 

taking the core players for granted is usually not a smart move though... we'll see how goes

I mean LSBS as a premise have always been about new players. And ROTS event is just free stuff either characters for really new players or free crystal shards for basically nothing.

I am of the opinion that this event is just an apology for their poor management for the Knightfall battle. And while the shard rewards for the new event help boost new players a bit, it doesn't actually help late or even mid game players. So it seems to be just another lackluster apology by CG

This is why we can't have nice things 🤦

You can only 3 star those tiers if you’re a whale, 7 starred the character immediately and got them to Relic 9 in like 5 minutes. Trust me, this event was either general poor management or just catering to the whales - both of which are issues

It really wasn't. The event rewarded f2p people with shards they didn't have to pay for. And it rewarded whales with mats. Both people get something from it. And f2p players can't play the game if CG doesn't doesn't have whales and convince them to spend money.

Dude. It's clearly meant for new players and would be a huge boost for them. And even late-game players have uses for shard shop currency (hence the outcry when they took the capital ship events away once we had them at 7 stars).

Not everything in the game is for you. Next you'll be complaining that Omega Battles are rushed failures.
