Event tickets for galactic legends is awful mechanic. At least make it do tickets are consumed until you win. Blowing tickets on experiencing the event for the first time removes fun from the mechanics.

Yep, level up all the characters just to unlock the event and then you have to get all those tickets for weeks just to play the event.

You just wait for someone to make a guide and you do it step by step so you don't screw up and lose tickets.

Agreed. Whoever thought event tickets after farming and gearing up multiple characters to multiple relic levels was a good idea simply does not play the game. And then you run the risk of "wasting" them on the event due to bad RNG - is horrible from a player experience point of view. On top of all of that, players are basically wasting time to unlock a GL that is easily beaten by the one(s) they and others already have on their rosters.CG really needs to seriously rethink "GL event tickets". The relic levels and massive requirements already pace the GL releases enough.

Yeah, I don't understand this one either. The events are already relic gated, unlike the legendary/ec where you can play the rng game to win.While the ticket farming has gotten better still sucks you can't try to figure it out on your own without the risk of ticket loss, and/or the rng crash BS that happens.

Yeah the Galactic Legends prerequisites are monetized heavily, and if they do need to monetize playing the event using tickets, at least don't consume tickets until the tier has been clearedGenerating tickets is arduous and it takes weeks to complete a Galactic Legend even if you go undefeated

How about instead they allow you to practice the event so you can figure out a strategy, then go in and put your tickets on the line.

Also, increase the ticket cost and rewards so we don't have to run it so many times.

Several guild mates have stated that tier 3 of the JML event is already RNG dependent.

This is a very fair point. I was assuming that the nature & difficulty of the events stayed the same, which was a bad assumption on my part. That out of the way...

Is something that I think is an excellent idea. I've actually advocated for the same thing with TB special battles (though specifically with KAM's battle, I've mentioned Acklay & Wat battles & I'm not clarifying, if I hadn't said it before, that I support adding that other special mission in p4 of LS + the hoth special battles to get ROLO & Imperial Probe shards, then the p6 special battles using ROLO & IP) by adding them to the Journey Guide as playable for zero rewards.

Playing those battles for practice (once you start collecting tickets for GLs or once you qualify for the TB missions) would basically add content for free & return those battles to things that can be figured out and ultimately defeated by the individual player, rather than requiring following instructions created by someone else.

And why wouldn't CG want to add content for free? Heck, I never played the p6 Probe mission before GeoTB was released, so I'd be interested in going back & seeing just how difficult it might have been. Might even be a challenge for me, since I never took my Troopers past g11.

Let's do this, CG.

Ah RNG, the siren song of people doing something wrong.

I unlock mine tomorrow.

Which is why I will simply watch a guide - and make sure I've restarted my phone before starting tier 3. ;)

They do. Which is why the tickets system were dramatically improved this time around (via drop rates)

Meh i really don't see a difference in drop rates of event tickets however they do allow you to farm the same amount on any node which is a welcomed change i suppose. But i really don't see any improvements in the overall drop rates I've always got around 70 per day. When doing all refreshes up till it hits 200 crystals. Which was on par with what I was getting with rey and Kylo

The point is that you can farm anything you want now. Before you had to farm the 6 energy nodes or you were getting less tickets. This is a benefit to players regardless of what you think you're seeing.

That's because they didnt change the max drop rate, they just gave every farming location the same rate that was on 6 energy nodes. It didnt used to be that way, so you do see an increase in drop rate if you farm anything higher than 6 energy, because those used to be lower.

I really don't see a huge improvement in rate of ticket acquisitions. Currently farming 7-b ls and honestly i think event ticket production is slightly worse than before. Granted personal opinion i haven't any hard evidence. But in general it's about the same as before ill just end up with probably 7 kryos when all said and done ?

There's data AND a dev post that flatly contradict your feelings.

It seems to be a pacing step added in to make the GL process longer.

But it doesn’t make it really longer. Yeah, delay it for 4 weeks (?), one month isn’t so long. They could just launch the GL one month later and don’t put tickets in it
