So........why do we need toons for the Galactic Legends event when there is no use for them in the event. I mean R5 Rose Tico and then she actually isn't needed for the event. I'm worried that the people who whale on this game may be turned off by the cost for toons they dont even need. I love this game, and want it to flourish, but we need something to work towards and I for one will never be farming for Rey or Supreme Leader Kylo as the ends do not justify the means. Will you be farming for them??

Why does it matter? Vet Han and Vet Chewie were useless after the JTR event. So what if you use them or not during the event. They were a means to an end. No different this time.

I’m working on Kylo now, and it sucks to have 4 relic FO sit on my bench each round of GAC.

I like the idea of the tickets but we should get a fixed amount and not a drop rate out of it.If it is fixed, you could see it as some sort of raid ticket for singleplayer. I really want the ability to do a raid by myself. I hope they gonna do this in future.I don't like the requirements but I can understand CG that they can monetize it. And we don't know what will come in future. Maybe we need a R5 Rose? Um. First of all No you don't need rose or any of the characters the require you to relic. Palpatine, vet chewie, vet han, non of them are needed to complete the event they are just pay wall. 2nd of all you don't like the requirement but you understand the monetization, so just so you know game went from having monetization for gear and shards into needing monetization for 5 brand new marquee characters that would give you a legendary character that would be the meta.Into a you need 10 marquee characters at 20000 GP to get a character at 5*. Than the gear 13 came into the game with huge amounts of monetization especially from the top guilds, mandalore from maw had like what 35 gear 13 characters in 1 week? Than from gear 13 with in the shortest time ever relics came into the game with another huge opportunity for CG to gain truck loads of cash. And than GAS happened which this time around required 10 characters and 5 ships minimum to get him with the requirements going up to needing reliced characters. (But you actually used all of those characters and the event was fun) and now we need 24 characters at relic 5 and 7 just to get 2 characters. All I see is the same amount of effort from CG but 200x the profit. If you can't see this than I'm sorry for youYes. You don't need such chars right now or are you coming from the future?GL's are pure for endgame not something mid-term / end-term like GS. Many people think that they need both GL chars ASAP. Why can't you guys just sit there and wait until you get there? Why do so many complain about it if they already know how it'll progress? It is endgame!

I look at it from the long term perspective, as we move forward, the old gear system will become secondary and the new focus will be on the relic system. this is what happened to abilities, low level mats were a crunch and omegas were tough. That has slowly transitioned to omegas being the slight crunch and zetas being the end all be all. (for now) The point of this system was to allow them to have a use for more gear, and I bet we will see an increase in gear moving forward that will allow us to get up past current crunches to relics faster, but relics will start to be the focus. once relics are the focus, just like gear the low levels will be fairly easy (R4) and moving up will be "the choices" we need to make. Saying you want goals, but dont like this one is fine, but the overall system/concept seems to be working towards a new long term goal of development for the future. -----events with requirements that are not tied to the event is a new thing but is still in the same realm of what we have seen before. requirements have always had different levels between what is needed to get in and what is needed for the event, and what is needed to not feel like you are going to break your phone before unlocking. This is a new event, things do seem a little off and maybe they will make changes, but overall there is a good grounds of a concept here and I hope we see more events that have this breadth, but maybe more depth too. events at this level should be grand in scale. having not done the event I cannot directly speak to the detail involved, but I know many are a little disappointed. (I reserve judgement until I have done it myself, watching someone else play games has never been my thing.)

Don't worry, I can confirm Ultra is doing fine.

And his mum? Lol

Increase in gear... Good one. :D

I envy your limitless positivity, Kyno.

While I wish that was the case, I don’t see it. They said this months ago. We got a higher influx of kyro’s from finishing dailies and the assault tiers. The assault tiers also yield extra G12 finisher salvage. Great.

They changed the refresh time for fleet battles and added G12 gear in there. Great, however the drop rate is terrible and is roughly 20%. So double edge sword in my mind.

Carbantis, cuffs, golden eyeball components and salvage have multiple stores to grab them in but the currency is limited so it’s not unlimited. Still the carbantis are the best to farm because of the challenge tiers too. Could use some extra drops from challenges regarding stun cuffs and components.

The biggest gear crunch they’ve done nothing to fix? Stun guns. It is the absolute worst bottleneck in the game. One store has it and it costs GET1 which NEEDS to be hoarded for any future epic confrontations since the devs refused to acknowledge the disdain for GET1 farms and said more will come in the future. Until they release this bottleneck, getting relic will be a massive achievement. So many characters need stun guns. Heck, the new GL’s require 400 salvage a piece! That’s insane.

Not really tho. Not that I disagree with the "stun fun" crunch.

Is weird to watch you posting cra-p and harassing people with a very bad sarcasm, and none of your comments gets deleted. I wonder why...

Glad we aren't overreacting.

Imagine thinking that people who spent thousands in preparation for this event, voicing their displeasure is properly seen as overreacting. Perhaps CG shouldn’t have hyped up this event as much as they did claiming amazing immersive content, artwork and great rewards only to deliver lazy mechanics, paper scissors rock, shoddy artwork outside of the background of Kajimi and the Death Star, and no rewards at all outside of a title and portrait.

To add to this, the GL event was almost the entirety of “new content” for Q1 of 2020. And that’s after promising us a better effort on new content for this year. What else were they working on for the last 4 or 5 months? I can’t imagine it takes a lot of developer time to create the hyperdrive bundle.

It didn't take all that time to create the bundle. Don't be silly. The lion's share of work was creating the icon that stays on the main screen the whole time letting you know it's there to purchase. Now that's where the heavy lifting came in for content development............

*waits*

I got a bingo.

Let's say I was not disappointed.

My guess is they ran out of time and rushed content is why we needed them initially but ultimately haven’t had to use them. Recall, they stated originally that G13 and Relics wouldn’t be required on all toons, then subsequently changed that requirement.

IMO, no way they meant for T-4 through T-6 to be identical.

And all these comments about “End Game” is a joke. There’s no end to this game.

that's (almost) the point. "End Game" just means at or near the "end" of what's available. I mean, obviously.

Except you could G8 them and be fine. Farming them to 7* was a norm and expected but the gear wasn’t anywhere close to a R5/R7. The amount of bottlenecked gear is exponentially higher. The issue is that they aren’t even required like the vets were for some sort of story tie in. That’s why people are right in saying it was purely a paywall stop gap and nothing more. Why couldn’t CG tie the characters into a story based event like the hero journeys? Instead it was just a lazy and poorly designed event that fell flat

Thats a lazy criticism. Han solo is kylo’s father. He appeared to his son in the rise of skywalker. Thats how he ties in, cause he helped him on his path. What would you have for an event tie in? A stage where he talks to a figment of his imagination?

Yes exactly that. You’re a genius in the guise of a troll. And you didn’t even know it.

Ah yes the very rare shard shop drops for 6 gun salvage. Forgot about that bountiful spot lol

Have it pop up every day this week, before that haven't seen any there for over a month.
