According to the journey guide, I met all the prerequisites for executor. I moved on to farming for something else while I waited for the event to open. I opened the event today and did the first four battles. On the fifth battle, I could not enter it because my Tie Bomber is 6*. If I can't do the event, the journey guide should have let me know. Had I known, I would have prepared that Tie Bomber by buying refreshes daily instead of just getting 5 battles a day. It's quite misleading for the JG to tell a player they have met the prerequisites, when they really have not, and have no way of doing so in 24 hours, so they have to wait another month.

It's unfortunate that I always get the feeling that the people who have to provide support know nothing at all about the game.

Well, if you click on the last tier in Executor journey guide, it's clearly written that you need all the required ships at 7*.

I do agree that players can get confused with the way the new Journey Guide is laid out. The other prime example is that Rex is a requirement for the LV battles, but is not one of the prerequisites. You need to click on the tiers to see what the requirements for each tier are, which are different than prerequisites. For example, the prerequisites for the Jedi Knight Revan Ancient Journey are just get to level 85. But just being level 85 isn't enough to play the tiers. You need specific characters.If you absolutely cannot upgrade your ship now, my advice would be to save up as many crystals as possible for the next run. You can refresh the bonus tier 19 times at 999 crystals for extra shards, which will leave you 50 short of a 7*. You can then either wait a month or buy packs that are 1250 crystals for 10 shards. So for 25,231 crystals you can get 7* in one day.Also, if you don't know the Malevolence + TIE fighter comp to beating Executor already, you can look that up and it can help you stay competitive in fleet arena for the next month.

What, CG is bad at making intuitive UI's that make sense?!*insert mild shock gif here*

I have a different view. For all legendary events, I have a list of different requirements. if I have fulfilled this I can play the event.

For example, I need a 5 star Finalizer for SLKR, and that's it. I don't need a 7 * in the last phase.

Same for Rey. I need a 5* Raddus , that’s all.

I have no problem with the requirements. but so they are useless and misleading.

SLKR and Rey are Galactic Legends
Legendary events are listed in a similar unless way as executor, each stage showing it's requirements.
It is the make players frustrated so they will just spend marketing strategy.

Yes, there is that. I said the Journey Guide misled me, not that the SWGOH forums on EAs site misled me.

I'm complaining, yes, but it's also valid feedback for the developers that the game UI could be more clear about event requirements particularly pertaining to events which aren't permanently open.

Perhaps the event buttons across the top row in the journey guide could have a red X on them if you don't meet the requirements.

Completely agree with all that.

Hate to say but every event has had star requirements to enter with each tier of the event requiring higher levels. All the journey guide is indicating is the entry level requirements to begin the event and with that you can do the first tier.

I do agree that there should be an indication of what you can attempt based on your roster to make it easier and know what you need to work on further.

Word of advice is once you start a farm finish it to the end. Will pay off in the long run

The reality is that the requirements to just enter the event are meaningless. You get nothing out of merely entering the event and doing the first tier.
