Endor Escalation Heroic Battle - Feedback

The refresh "bug" was poorly handled and left a bad impression on me. My perspective: someone misses out on 4 free Wicket shards, you give them 20 and 250 crystals to make it right. Someone else buys vaults and uses crystals to get Wicket to 7* and they miss out on 4-8 zetas, tough luck, life isn't fair.

The Special Events had a description about their refresh mechanic and how it's similar to daily challenges. If our first Heroic Battle has something unique about its refresh mechanic, why wouldn't those notes be included in the same update as th Special Event? None of it makes sense to me. Was it really a bug? Was it supposed to also refresh like daily challenges but that was left out and it's easier to just call it a bug? Either way, the response was poor in my opinion. Otherwise I thought it was great. We wanted a way to get more zetas and you came through. I just think if someone is willing to pay for them, you should have a little more integrity following through with that expectation.

The sensible thing would have been to bring the event back for another day. Those that 7* Wicket today and were not able to participate in the Bonus Tier should have a proper go at it.

The event is quite good in terms of difficulty, although 780 crystal is too much for current bugged refresh.
78 per shard, if you are RNG God. otherwise is 130.

It's bugging me that nobody even acknowledges that they introduced the first Heroic Battle without any info on how the refreshes work until Kozispoon said there was a bug and we find out it's the first event with 1 refresh for crystals on Tier 1 and no refreshes on the Bonus. It's all just beyond recognition to me. No communication of new mechanic, which is already broken, no fix, and no admission of wrongdoing. I don't think it was nefarious, but more careless.

Edit: also deleting my comments anytime I mention this looks even more unscrupulous in my opinion

Loved the event! Super difficult for my lower level stuff, but that made it all the more fun. Wish I could predict how low level I should be just get keep the fun factors up!

Event was fun and cool how it only required five 4* ewoks, inclining us to farm and use one of the new ones. The unintentional gift of 20 wicket shards was nice for allowing all players to participate even though they hadn't bought a pack for logray or paploo.

Keep things like this up. The event ought to occur once a week, or at least twice a month. As it is, players that participated in Wicket's original Endor Escalation for shards still would have to wait at least 8 months to acquire a 7* wicket if it occurs twice a month.

Once a month, as it sounds like is planned, means it will be over 2 years before this character can be used in raids, the most fun aspect of the game, and also for late phases of Territory Battles.

A player starting this game today who loves Wicket is told he will have to wait 3 years to max him out through regular gameplay? That would instantly turn me off and make me say the game is not worth it.

Two or three times a month, say the day before a Territory Battle will start (making Endor Escalation every 10-11 days as well) would be a great balance. I have played this game for two years as of this upcoming december. To make me wait LONGER than my entire playtime so far to max out one character, Wicket? Too much investment and waiting is being asked of a player.

Great work on the event though, and I really appreciate the 5 hard battles for each node/day and other changes you guys are making.

I was under the impression we would get to use pre-loaded ewoks for the event like last time, and be forced to use our own in the bonus battle. I flash farmed paploo and got my ewoks to over 200 speed and it was so insanely difficult. Couldn't beat it. After about 25 tries I gave up and switched mods back to my Haat squads. I got my face melted in round 4. I can't even imagine how tough the bonus would be.
Our guild is ranked #245 in the HAAT right now and only 1 guildmate out of 50 was able to beat it. Hope that gives a reasonable idea of how tough it is. I feel like it should be slightly nerfed and the bonus battle should be the one that's insane.

I agree. Way too hard. I have 7* G8 and used my arena mods (pretty good - I finish #1 in arena) except for a 4* G7 wicket. I get annihilated. Save that intensity for the bonus tier....

Too hard for a fringe faction like ewoks that are only useful in zero areas of the game. Yes, a few of them can fill out decent raid squads if you don't have better options, but this is not a faction with a real purpose outside of this event. I get that you want to encourage collecting, but the difficulty here was just stupid.

Love the event even if my Ewoks not ready for it. Goves me notivatuon to get my ewoks ready next time it comes around.
