So i did the ewok event this morning, had no issues beating the various tiers, but when i beat the 3rd tier, bonus tier that is "very difficult", i got a grey mod as a reward. Figured it was just bad rng on my end and said something in guild chat and griped to a real life friend as well about getting a grey mod in the bonus tier. My friend replied back he got a grey mod too, and a few hours after i vented in guild chat, a guildie replied he got a grey mod as well. Really? Grey mods as rewards on bonus tiers? The most difficult tier and we get the worst rewards?Anyone else had this happen or is it just really bad luck?

Preface: Assault Battles have changed a bit conceptually since I started making them. So they aren't completely consistent right now. The reason you're getting grey mods in the bonus tier is for two reasons:1) Bonus tiers are a "bonus". They're there because you happen to have a team that can do it, so you get a bonus. I'm actually kind of surprised people don't mention that more often. Therefore the rewards for doing one aren't "better" but "more". EG: A bonus on top of what you already got. But if it was OMG AMAZING rewards above and beyond the normal tier, that would potentially be unbalancing in the long run since these are meant to run in perpetuity. Marquee event bonus tiers have different things because they only run once. This is why Tier 3 in a Mythic event isn't called a bonus tier, it's just Tier 3.2) Until recently, it was incredibly tedious and difficult to make new mod tables for a variety of reasons. So the rewards in Forest Moon are identical to Mod Challenges (which give primarily Grey/Green mods) because that was some existing data I could re-purpose.

Well its random. Got a green one.

Bad luck. I got a green mod for the bonus tier and grey for the other two tiers.

Same here alot of guys in our guild got grey mods too. Pretty lame rewards. Plus alot of us thought it was slightly more difficult then usual

Rewards across all tiers of assault battles are the same by design. Your bonus for doing t3 is that you got triple the rewards of someone who is only able to do t1.

This always makes me laugh. Not everyone has a team that can do this.

I knew you would like it, ;) besides it makes as much sense as saying the event has been increased in difficulty lol

Yes, they're both equally pointless to say.

Did they up the difficulty this event? Last time this event was up I got though all tiers with ease, this time I can't even get past the first tier, wth is going on?
