Forest Moon- Assault Battles

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?

    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?


    Can't tell if this is sarcastic based on the two posts in front of it or serious...

    If it's serious you should probably check your mods. The faster your mods are the more likely you will be able to beat the 1st tier as you'll go before the deadly ewoks. Also if you geared up some characters and took out Snowtrooper, that could easily be your problem. Snowtrooper's unique is amazing for this event in an empire team with AOEs. Just spam the AOEs.

    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.


    @CG_CapGaSP

    Thanks for that honesty. Just curious if the mod tables that were made recently for newer events could potentially get re-purposed into the older assault battles? (For all three tiers so theres no imbalance) Getting at least a green or blue mod would be a lot nicer even if it's not the set we want/the best primary stat, having the guaranteed secondaries on a mod is nice when you had to work to make a team to beat the assault battles.

    Good lord @CG_CapGaSP has some amazing responses. It’s like he brings me in as part of the team. Like, CG looks like a really cool place to work.
