It’s yet another ‘feed relic threshold data into the computer’ frustration algorithm event, like p4 GAS.

There is No Reason to make waves 1-3 an insanely easy, time consuming chore before a rng heavy phase 4, besides frustration...and same goes for wave 8. It’s mostly a boring slogfest, where the only fun is 20% of the encounter.

Hope you timed thrawns TM perfectly or Teebo “might” one shot your R4 full Prot Droideka.

‘Just keep trying’ and hope it’ll get better is the mind set of an addict.

Maybe fix your mods

I haven't seen anyone with high relics struggle against Teebo

All assault battles have a mid-boss on wave 4, and just like every other assault battle and its mythic variant when it came out, wave 4 was "RNG reliant" due to using undergeared toons

Git Gud

My mods don’t need “fixing”... how dare you sir.

The Event was another boring waste of time and a step in the wrong direction if you ask me. Because I’m addicted im still playing; but I hold very little hope for the future of the game, at this point.

You guys could not be anymore out of touch with your community. If all the things that you could of done we get an update for forest moon? What a joke!

I'll partially disagree. All old challenges and events need new tiers to come in line with current character progression. I for one welcome that they have actually done --- something ----. I mean anything is better than the nothing we have been living with.

That said, adjusting tiers on something like this is seriously a minimal, minimal, minimal development effort. So yeah... Something more is really due.

Listen up Devs - you are ruining the game!

Tier 1 was not that hard, given that many people (including myself) were doing it with four of the five toons at G12.

Give me new stuff!

Wait wait wait, new stuff is too difficult!

Give me new stuff that I can easily complete!

This stuff is too easy!

Give me new stuff!

If the event is too hard for you, gear up those characters more. If you think you're being forced to gear up those characters, then stop and don't do that...

That’s not how addiction works

lol "addiction." Must be hard for some people to walk down a street without buying something

New tiers is one thing, but the difficulty level is a jok.

Tactics buddy... Only b1 was r2, b2 was only g11, rest where g12 and a bit..

It was good idea to add new tiers, but the way it has been done is a joke. F2P players badly need access to better gear rewards to relic characters, and this is a slap in the face. This game is becoming a chore and became more unbalanced ever since the relics were introduced. I hope the devs start listening to the F2P community before it’s too late.

people left your guild bc of forest moon?

No. Not forest moon, certainly not forest moon alone - its merely the icing on the cake at this point.
If tier 1 was a little easier, rather than RNG on Teebo in P4, at least players trying to build their relic toons would have a tier with rewards they can reach to grow. Relics are also already too easily accessible by whales and the way the difficulty of these new tiers is arranged, it is really suiting them more than those wanting to grow and continue enjoying the game.

Putting relic gear behind the need of relic toons to get it is a bit of a catch 22.

The real issues are all the other requirements the Devs have made in the game. Its been a whole slew of things since the Malak shard issue, as well as requirements for GAS, and the fact Malak and GAS unlock only at 5* (despite the ridiculous requirements in the first place), then LS Geo TB insanity, then requirements for Legendary Rey & Kylo, now this.

Additionally the amount of time DS Geo TB roles around is an issue. F2P players now have to wait a long time to get those rewards that address roster growth on specific toons at this stage of the game.

Devs even side-stepped the whole gear crunch issue at the last Q& A - so when you total all of this up, its not surprising a lot of players are feeling the game has become stagnant, a chore, stressful and no longer enjoyable - why continue to play?

This is why people are leaving, its not just Forest Moon challenges alone, not by a long shot.

I had no trouble with Teebo in Tier 1, used full sep droids team, only relics on GG (R4) and B1(R3). He almost killed my Mangna several times but B1 just healed him up. The advice posted for the event specifically stated to bring a good tank to take the damge...and manga can be beefy and annoying as hell with a fast B1 there to save him. Rather, the annoying part was getting the elders because they kept getting stealth, leaving Teebo out in the open for grievous to eat alive after a few turns. The harder part was tier 8, where it ended up with just GG vs. Chirpa, logray, and paploo, and GG came out on top. I attribute my success mostly to mods, and partially to strategy. Mods can take a lot of RNG out of the equation, especially for survivability purposes. It was a bit tedious, but only took two tries, and beating it was refreshing and it was an exciting final tier going 1v3. I didn't make it past Teebo in the second level, but don't care because I'm patient and will slowly gear the characters for the next time...or the next next time....or the next next next time....depending on how I prioritize.

Relic gear for relic toons might seem like a catch 22, and I agree it is to a point, but it also makes sense, because there's nothing beyond that to offer, and you want more relic material so you can work on the toons you didn't relic for this event. A true catch 22 would be if it was the only source of relic material, and yet required relic characters to aquire, but that's not the case. Until this event, and even after getting this event, we had/have all the other places to focus farm relic materials for any project team you have. Although, I wish they were more readily accessible in general. But no matter where they put them, it will always benefit whales more.

I agree with the rest of your post and the other points you present.

Do you often try to be wrong?

I beat T1 with all g12 empire. Definitely not impossible.

Team?

I had

EP (L) G12
Vader R4 - like I said, one hit from Teebo and Vader died, just like that.
Thrawn G12
Tarkin G12
Veers G11

Ep thrawn DT DK tark. Can't let Teebo take a turn.

Btw, the event ability counts toward an empire ability that can be used to remove thrawns TM and keep teebo fractured longer.
