GC reward crates [MERGE]

@Rebmes

Read what people are saying: "Full Empire" doesn't really mean "full empire". It means 5 empire toons, but the Feat recognizes any 5, which means if you bring in 4 and you summon 1 (which you will if your leader is Empire), then 4+1 = 5 and you get the feat.

So 4 Empire + Malak or KRU (who taunt and take reduced damage from % health effects) will still get you the feat and might be more possible if you have a mediocre Empire faction.

Not a fan of the crates. I preferred being able to see (and earn), specifically, what I was trying to achieve (or was missing) with the "feat-specific" prizes. Honestly, the crates just feel like a way to hide the reward structure and prey upon the "fear of missing out". But, since I will likely get the "big" crate most if not all of the time, it's a minor gripe. It seems like an unnecessary change, that certainly doesn't add anything from a player perspective.

I can understand seeking just the specific rewards from specific feats. I will also mostly get the highest reward crate so it doesn’t bug me. I don’t mind waiting until the event is over, though it does seem unnecessary.

I REALLY appreciate not having to go through every tier for every feat. I had to play just a few times to hit max rewards instead of (minimum) 14 for faction and underman feats alone.

With these recent changes to the GCs, the new reward structure makes the new six dot slicing mats very difficult to get. Before, I was able to complete the tier that rewarded them for first time completion but now, I cant get enough of the tickets to get the t5 chest which has those mats in it. Where I am at in the game F2P farming mods this is discouraging as I can no longer farm the mats for getting better mods. I'm sure other people have had this problem as well but I liked the old reward system better. Thoughts?

I'm mixed overall. I like the old rewards system better.

I do appreciate the ability to collect previous tiers, but it took me 50-60 tries to beat tier 7 even with the forum advice, so I ended up doing as many attempts as with the former system.

I just beat it in the last 30 minutes, so until then, I thought I was going to miss out on all the rewards (earned in the last crate) which I had been able to earn 90% of the time before (as in "all" the rewards offered).

In the end, I wish that they had implemented earning all tiers' rewards but still given the rewards immediately.

Seriously Tier 5 is wrecking Relic-5 characters & lets not even talk about T6.

You are doing something wrong. I have a single relic (R3) empire toon (Vader)

Before this change, people complained that they had to do T1 and T2 and T3 and...... to finish and thought it took too long. Now you only have to do one battle and get credit for all the earlier ones.

We should get three GC a week, each three days long.

TheJosh gets it.

I completed the event



With this team

Got a bit of RNG, and made it work on the second try. Went back in and went 0/3 last night on trying to recreate my luck.

I hear you, and you're likely correct about your roster not being optimized for this GC. I used my R4 Padme team for the full clear and undersized feats, but without your Empire team completing its feat, you will not be able to earn the highest crate from the golden tickets, and you will miss out on rewards in this new system. I also think this new system is a detriment for earning the mod slicing mats for people who were able to previously earn them.
