Just completed all feats and got my red crate. Having read a lot of criticisms over the gameplay and various modes within GC. I'm edging on the side of the fence that says I like this new event.
Why?
1) Having got my GL SLKR made it much easier than without I think, so the players without a significant hard hitter will struggle but there are pathways that lead to different victories. I went for the quickest pathway initially to see how it played and then, like many, went back to complete feats.
2) Discovered boss feats late on, I didn't see the arrows that you could scroll through the feats for each section boss and when I did, they were greyed out (bug I think has been reported) but once you get a feel for the boss feats, you then start to strategize a bit and this is where the game is goo, having to plan what you use where and when and for how long.
3) Scavenger and data disks - wasn't too sure about these and didn't use any until the third sector. I felt it was a little cumbersome and there wasn't anyway of seeing what the buff was without adding it to your rosta. After using them for achieving all feats (DOT, Evade, Thermal Detonator mostly) it was fun using toons I haven't geared up and had to protect with super tanky tanks (GK got used a lot). Nice to use Greedo and Zam for once. They didn't last long but nice to be able to use them!
Yes, there are some bugs but this is the exhibition event and as first time players, we get the bonus of twice in March and having achieved the Red Crate, lots of goodies which will relic my GL and allows some progress to Mando toons.
So, bear with it guys, work on the teams and have fun.
