Falcon Event Error

I'm trying Tier 5 and having the same issue - also people in my guild as well.
I also spent $$ on crystals to boost my 3rd ship to 5* in time for the event. I would not have done so had they correctly stated you needed all FOUR bounty hunter ships to be at that level.

I used to be top 3 in my fleet shard prior to the falcon release. Without the ship, I've dropped to high teens. I spent the last cycle (3 months?) getting my BH squads high enough to earn chewie, the falcon, and be a contender again.

I do feel like EA robbed me of both time and money with this bug. I spent 2 hours on the phone today with Kimi first (1 hour - no help), missed a call from William, Jitesh (1 hour - bumped me to supervisor), and Supervisor Gunjan who told me nothing could be done except by the experts (her boss), but there is no way to contact them beyond using this forum - she was the highest person I could talk with and she could do nothing about it - "so sorry".

The money has been spent - I don't expect a refund. I do expect to finish this situation with han's falcon. Either fix the bug so I can play the event with 3 ships, boost my fourth ship to 5* (only a dozen shards needed) so i can play the bugged event, or mark the event finished - giving me the 45 shards of the falcon needed to unlock the ship. Anything short of that and I plan to find another game to spend my time and money playing. It's been a fun 2+ years if that's the case, but this single bug has impacted 6 months of my life if it goes unresolved. If that is the ultimate end result, it would be a shame, but my wife would likely thank you.

You need 5 star Xanadu Blood as well, it's always been this way, why people suddenly think the events requirements have changed is a mystery

If you only need a dozen shards you should have no problem getting them by Wednesday and get your Falcon

While I get that its been 4 in the past or so many are saying.

If this is your first time seeing the event & you bust ass to get 3 ships up & running then yeah, to suddenly have this glitch when it apparently has read correctly in the past, well that is some first class BS IMHO.

You say glitches in Software but that implies this is something new.

If its the same event & it read correctly all along, then WHERE does this glitch come from?
What the Devs just suddenly decided to change the text to read incorrectly?

And WHY the hell hasn't it been fixed since the event started days ago?

We are talking a typo here right?

How do you let that go unfixed & call it anything close to Customer Service?

Given there are many events that you start the first tiers at less than a full squad & don't need all 5 (4) till later tiers, I don't see why anyone wouldn't think this was a valid event to do at 3 ships instead of 4.

A mystery? The reason is because it says that you need 3 units. In the event. In the game. That could be the answer to the "mystery".

It‘s a mystery how a simple bug like this hasn’t been fixed in several iterations of this event.

Maybe it brings CG money if people are mislead by being given false requirements. It‘s been know in the forum since the first time, but not many players visit the forums.

This bug wasn’t present for the first 2 MilFalcon events. So it hasn’t been “know” in the forums since the first time.

I stand corrected.

EA has confirmed that this is a bug. Description should have read X/4 ships, not X/3.

The fix is to get FOUR bounty hunter ships to that star level, right now its counting your capital ship as a bounty hunter ship.

I’m in this boat as well. I’m furious as I put all my crystals into getting 3 BH ships to 7* and neglected the fourth when I saw that only three were required. Now I’m out a ton of crystals and am not gonna get my 7* falcon. This was blatantly incorrect in game and requires some sort of Dev response. I could’ve geared up DR with those crystals but instead I put them into IG-88’s dumb ship.

Same here. Wasted a ton of crystals in a panic farm for my 3rd BH ship.

It's quite disheartening that this has been discussed for almost a week with no response from the Devs... I know most of the whales have had Milf 7* for a while, but for a large portion of the player base this was an important event to catch up, so misleading information in the game was quite damaging.
