Did GAS paid off?

I think this will be just like DR. He won’t be that great until arc trooper joins the team.

Arc Trooper will make him worse against Padmé teams, not better. Just saying.

Did those nasty minnows finally ****? =D Or cash do?

Think or sink

Are you sure about the final number of units? I vaguely remember first time malaks to be 5k, and there are 6.1k gases.

@TVF

Everyone is already mad at how terrible Jedi Luke is.

That's not fair. I'm not mad about how terrible Jedi Luke is, not per se. I'm just mad that EA/CG still hasn't responded to community concerns about him. It's the poor communication on the issue that gets me.

I remember 13k Malaks myself. And 872 of them - ftp, Carrie said. But some states there were 15k Malaks

Yeah I browsed back topics. Memory failed me. CG managed to cut it to less than half then.

In my pure f2p guild, it's 12/100. This much surely surprised me, everyone who managed it dumped their piles. Certainly a worse outcome than Malak for even most competetive f2p. So maybe mission accomplished as far as CG is concerned hehe.

Of course they dumped their piles. Cg stated the requirements were 17.7k. For malak, it was beatable just a little above the min they announced.

Sadly, they failed to mention that without g13 on a few toons from each team, you really stood no chance until the event started.

I'm sure several ftp like myself dropped their stash believing they could make it only to still fall short. How many. Who knows?

And for the record, if they want the requirements to be high, fine. But they should disclose that up front.

Also if relics are going to be the new normal, it's time to relieve the stungun crunch. They already milked the whales on this event, it's time to make getting teams up to relic levels more realistic for players that aren't super hardcore.

Same for me, I'm quite above the reqs and still didn't make the last g13 needs without having a pile (did Malak 1st time without a pile xD). "reccomended" is a slippery word though. Previously we managed to cut quite a lot below the reccomended of the events. This time way less so.

Going from here, for anyone that's not a high spender it's better to see the event and the prize first before dumping anything. Having to hoard finishers, 12+s for events like this will hurt me a lot since there's even less room to experiment now.

Maybe they'll cut us a slack with leg/hero events. If CG takes the relic threshold this event establishes for granted, player numbers will keep dwindling.

They can make another epic for g13, from the upcoming legendary and call it 'mythic legendary - new experience that never happened before' and milk another bunch of whales.
That's pessimistic side, that won't help making more but still gives some cash. So as I said 'think or sink'

@MasterSeedy you missed the point by a country mile. Might want to read what I wrote again.
