I just don't understand why, after such a long grind to gear up all of the characters for a GL, we then have to go through an event that is so difficult without modding our characters with perfect mods and then we can only beat the tier if we get extremely lucky with RNG.I've watched the videos on YouTube (as few as there are so far) on the Leia event and Vader just keeps destoying me. I've put my best mods (tried speed, tried health, tried potency) and nothing works. Vader just demolishes my team. This isn't fun.

I'm not close to GL Leia, but I fully endorse the idea that the requirements for GLs are the hurdle. We've put in the laborious work over months. The event should be a fun celebration of the SW story related to that character. There is no game balance reason why someone who completes all the pre-reqs shouldn't be allowed the character, so repeated failures don't serve any overarching purpose in game. They only make the game less fun for players. That said, and I don't know it will work, but I support what KDC said. Vader has always required landing debuffs on his enemies to be his most effective. If you can't get TenacityUP, then modding for Ten is an obvious thing to try. Maybe it will help you feel less tortured while waiting for CG to figure out how to prioritize fun.

@DarjeloSalas Thank you for the kind words, though if you could allow me to provide a modest correction? Seedy is one of the rare breed of forumers that wants to EAT CHOCOLATE ALL DAY.That's it. That's my motivation. Feel free to contribute to the cause at www.sendseedygoodbarcelonachocolatetoday.hero

I've now beaten Vader once in about 15 tries. Did it by putting an offense set on Leia (although it could have just been RNG). Tenacity was not helping as Vader was still landing his DOTs. If you get to the point where Han is cleansing every turn, you're pretty much done as Vader heals whenever Han cleanses and the DOTs just get reapplied.Still, GL events should basically be a story, not a chore. I'm not saying they should be super easy but the "hard" part about getting a GL should be farming the requirements. I have both Leia and Han at R7 which are higher than the requirements for the event. I'm not sure R5 would even cut it for this.

I guess so much for precedence.

This doesn't bode well. I sincerely hope they do a reversal before I'm done farming the marquees. What's even the point of making the event difficult? They've already extracted their pound of flesh in relic materials and crystal refreshes. Doesn't make sense.

It's an RNG mess, I wasted 4 attempts worth of tickets on this stupid Tier. Twice in a row Vader saber threw Han and once he was gone it was over.

They tested this with their 15 mil GP account where every character is R9 and has god mods. That's the only explanation for them thinking this tier was acceptable. Same as the Jabba tier.

Have you tried tenacity? Because you need tenacity.

(And I agree with you it’s not fun when you have to do that, just offering a path forward.)

And what troubles me is that CG seemed to have realised that the ideal handling of these events was to make them more-or-less a formality once the requirements had been met. There were aspects of the Rey / SLKR events that were tricky, as was the SEE first tier in some respects, but JML, Jabba, JMK, LV events were pretty much foolproof.

I’ll be GL Leia eligible as soon as 15 attempts per day on Scout Trooper gets me there, but I’m hopeful the event won’t require anything more than just showing up to earn the shards.

T1 isn't too bad. I lost once because they ganged up on R2 and if you lose either him or leia you are defeated. T2 even putting arena mods on them I still lost 4 times and you have to beat it 3 times. You just target Darth Vader and beat on him until he's down. I had some tenacity on them, but I didn't go a full 6 tenacity mods on them to do it. Maybe 3 sets of tenacity will make it work, but C3P0 should be our C3P0, not a mostly useless annoyance C3P0 (even if he is like that in this Empire scene).

I went with offense and tenacity sets on ROLO and for Han I put speedy health sets with some tenacity, but not a huge amount.

Hard agree. Making these events way overturned is the antithesis of fun and rewarding. We should have done the hard part already.

I was under the impression they were supposed to hotfix this?

That was for T4. I guess they consider T2 to be working as intended

Any updates on this if a hotfix is needed? You have to beat the tier(tier 2) 3 times. I won twice in a row and lost 4 in a row now. Losing tickets is not easy to stomach.

Tier 2 is difficult. But it's difficult for everyone. So i don't mind a challenge where modding and gameplay benefits players. Sure loosing tickets is not fun at that moment, but it's nice to know you finally got it. It's far away from being impossible... watch the vids that are out there first.
