Escape from Jedha event Feedback

Please put any feedback you have from the Escape From Jedha event into this thread. I'm especially interested in what people think about the new ability we're using to force a unit into your squad's 6th (ally) slot for events.
  • So far from playing the missions its a pretty nifty way to test drive. Its like when new characters are released and people freak out over them being available as an ally character instantly (but are actually ai generated). Obviously one thing which prevents a complete representative play of the final product is the ability to mod the character. I guess there are issues with achieving that though.

    Overall great way to let players try before they commit. Not everyone has access to forum character reviews.

    Those two get their own event in January, I'm doing the back and forth with all the stakeholders now nailing down the final design. It won't be platform exclusive. It won't be "Yoda style". I'm trying something new I hope people enjoy. There will of course be more info about that once it's closer to release.


    I'll be just happy if it's not a tournament.

    Do you feel like being able to try K-2SO in this way has influenced your decision to acquire and invest resources into him one way or the other?

    It isn't a tournament. It's going to be a content event with a (hopefully) crazy fun boss fight at the end! (I much prefer making AND playing those, so when they give me a choice that will win every time.)

    He would have maxed it anyway!
  • I actually found the level 1 abilities very off-putting. Definitely not representing the final character, even more than no mods. For example, the counter chance was much lower than normal meaning K-2S0 didn't counter a fair number of times, leaving him standing there not doing much without a taunt.

    I agree with the comments here already.
    -great to test drive the character
    -level 1 abilities though not very good test. No mods is not a big deal but seeing base maxed or near maxed abilities would be cool
    -there should be more characters to really allow the characters abilities to shine. The last battle there was a single character with retribution, half of my runs he resisted daze. My alternate account I just eded up dispelling with QGJ.

    Good format though.
    Suggestion for future ones if the character has a lead maybe run team of 5 forcing the character to be lead. Dual leads are fun but only available in pve and most are not collecting characters for pve they are collecting for arena and Raids.

    The character should also respond as he is currently leveled modded etc.

    In the event he apparently has a hidden buff some where:
    did capture all the stats on bonus tier but on Tier 6 he has Physical Damage of 2417 and Crit damage of 150 and I was using him under Wedge lead.
    with level 1 abilities his basic damage output should be:
    Non Crit 2417*0.908*1.30=2853
    Crit 2853*1.50=4279

    Now lets assume using his level 8 multipliers
    Basic
    Non Crit = 2417*1.180*1.30=3707
    Crit = 3707*1.5 = 5561
    Special Crit = 2417*2.421*1.30*1.50=11410

    His actual damage output was 50% higher
    Basic Non Crit 5868
    Basic Crit 8876
    Special Crit 17206

    I would be very disappointed to work on acquiring this character to see he does not perform the same. Granted it is a free character so i would be fine with it.

    But you are showing an authentic lamborghini and giving out the V6 kit car version. The outside it looks the same under the hood it is missing something.
