Endor Escalation Heroic Battle - Feedback

Loved the main concept and design of the event, I've heard that it took extra time to create and we may not get many of them, but thank you for this. Saying that, most of the other stuff around the event seems to be handled pretty poorly. Why only two tiers? After Capgasp created the event, would it really have taken the same increased amount of time to tune few more tiers with even varying amounts of Wicket rewards? Now you're in a quandry, I autod it with my G11 ewoks plus G8 4* paploo, but others can't participate at all? Again, in a typical CG fashion the communication was poor even the day of the event about the bugs/refresh mechanic and the frequency of the event. The once a month plan for this event sounds horrible, I'll get CLS before this due to the horrible drop rate. Sounds like a great idea to have zetas for the top tier reward, but I think the 7* wicket should be tuned around 3-4 months for top tier ewok players who have already spent significant resources into maxing their ewoks. And add more tiers so you can get more mileage of all this development work you put in here. Thank you for listening.

Really enjoyed the event. I appreciate that the Bonus Tier (which i cannot do) doesn't require Ewoks and therefore doesn't require me to gear them beyond Tier 1. I really like how Tier 1 has some actual difficulty, although it can get a little frustrating to make it to the last round and get killed. Although I am concerned about the cadence on Wicket shards, especially if packs don't come back, I don't think many of us will use him outside of nostalgia or a max Ewok squad in TB (or platoons in TB) so I'm not that offended.

Pros: *10 wicket shards, 150k credits
*Fun challenging event

Cons: *this event doesn't give out enough Wicket shards for how infrequently it is repeated and given the difficulty/effort required to gear and level up ewoks. As most people have mentioned, if this event were monthly it would take almost 2 years for a ftp player to 7*wicket.
*this event exposes the ewoks in the worst possible way, they do little damage and are slow; they seem like an inferior version of the phoenix squad. Their buffs are easily dispelled in both major events that require them (ground war assault and ATST), so that makes me less likely to want to invest resources in a squad that has such a glaring weakness.

I think The Event itself was really fun to play.The design and concept of the event was good if it werent for the bug.

One thing that i felt needed to improve was the difficulty lvl for tier 1. I farmed ewoks upto lvl 60- 65 and gear lvl 7-9 range and from 5-7 stars. and Still could not get done the first tier. So it would be nice to adjust the difficulty lvl. Or Just recommend the gear lvl and character lvl with star count will give an idea about how much further we should farm them for the event.

second thing is the wicket shard and the occurance of event. If we are getting this event for once a month it would be nice to increase the shards from 10 to 50-80. If the event is kept once a week then 10 shards are fine. Just it would be nice to get a 7 star wicket within a reasonable amount of timeframe. So adjusting the shard payout with time would be nice.

The event was great and a challenge. I had to use my arena mods on all ewoks to make it through. Teebo lead g8-9, chirpa g8, ee g8, scout g8 all 7* paploo gear 7 4*.
Thank the maker we can remove tm from the atst. It's new and different from what we had. I enjoyed it very much.

The problem with the event really has nothing to do with the gameplay lol it will take too too long to 7* wicket at a ftp pace. 1-2 years is overkill and I think it has the opposite effect that was intended. There's a feel that people won't even bother with it because of the time. This is like double the time of a 3 battle hard node farm.

Also not related to the wicket event but to all these type of events- wicket, mother talzin, and how many more added I think this will really hurt people buying packs for talzin and wicket.

Also - cap thanks for this thread

Achievements: complete tier 1 of the event ten times and you will be rewarded 20 Mk 4 Carbanti which nobody needs

Fun event - I enjoy these one-off special type events. Just wish they would show more often. We have enough of these now there should always be one in rotation it seems.

Absolutely love the event! Very challenging, but doesn't require ewoks to be geared up too high. Lots of fun squad starategy with a fun squad I never get to use otherwise.

Like that zetas will eventually be more frequently given out.

Huge downside is that there are so few wicket shards given out. 10 per month makes an insanely long farm for FTP. With hard nodes it's pretty easy to average 10 per WEEK these days.

I'd say double or triple amount of shards given out, but don't increase how often it runs. That was once you do 7 star him, you get the same amount of zetas, but makes him farmable in a reasonable time frame.

The event, Endor Escalation will reoccur at least once per month until otherwise announced. This will allow all players to work on their Ewok units at their leisure and engage the event when it comes around that month.

Wicket is also currently available in Chromium and the Ewok Faction pack. Wicket will not be available in Shipments for the immediate future, but may eventually find a home there.

I'd appreciate Wicket and the Ewok rework, but this character would take several months to farm shards due to the monthly Heroic Event of Endor Escalation per day, which makes it inefficient and difficult to get 7-star Wicket but he is the one of the most effective Ewok in this game.

I was ready to throw down a lot of money to refresh tier 1 of this event. Only one refresh is kind of a bummer to me. Wicket is the character I want to 7* the most right now so looks like that won't happen anytime soon.
