Event tickets are awful

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.

I would disagree. It's only RNG dependent if you don't know the correct modding/strategy, which is why I proposed being able to run the event for free until you feel comfortable putting your tickets on the line. Mod Luke for 100% crit chance so there is no crit RNG and follow the correct attack sequence and it's going to be a win every time.

How is it not RNG? If you get AB'ed to death, how are you supposed to prevent that?

I don't remember for absolute certain but feel like Vader was pretty slow and you could take a second turn with AB having worn off. Plus using heroes arise at the right time. I never was blocked at the wrong time.

Well, I wasn't either. I cleared it all 3 times without fail and without moving mods. But all the complaints I saw were that people got AB-chained and then died. It's not like you can mod for tenacity to stop that AB, so I guess it depends on Vader's actual speed. If people leave JKL modded for TB and Vader is faster than 112, you're just going to be the same speed if you don't get any counters.

If people leave JKL modded for TB they deserve to lose.

And why wouldn't you get any counters?

You only counter if you have Jedi's Will. If you get AB'ed enough that you can't do the middle special, you will never counter.

Again it was only three battles but i never had this problem once. Could have been luck, but speed and the order you use the specials should also matter.

Just to chime in here... I lost tier of JML once due to the aforementioned "AB chain". 1/4 times. It was terrible - lost 60 tickets. Quite high frustration level. I had watched a few videos on the strategy, and moved mods. I realize you all have almost no reason to believe me, but I did everything I could from the videos and mods and still got RNG bad enough to completely screw the run.

I'll make it through the ultimate eventually, but I have to agree - the even ticket system pretty much sucks.

I won my first SLKR T3 attempt yesterday but even having done the research, there was still a pucker factor because I was risking a whole day's worth of tickets. And the next tier costs even more. :(

Kinda sad that I am having way more fun free-playing the tiers I have already completed than playing the event for real.

Is it only a day's worth of tickets? Unless you buy refreshes, it's more like 3-4 days worth of tickets. For either tier 3 or tiers 4-6... Pretty terrible.

Fair enough. I am directing the bulk of my crystal income to this and even with 6 energy refreshes it is still a day's worth of tickets.

It no longer matters which node you use, by the way. Tickets now accumulate like Chase shards. It's a drop rate per energy spent, not per node like it used to be.
