GC reward crates [MERGE]

I’m more so sad that there’s no point in trying to undersize or flawless the last tier if you’ve beaten it with full Empire. I get that the rewards are top-heavy, but I’ve gotten to the max loot box without completing that feat, and it just feels... like there should be something to convince me to do that one last battle.

They're trying to tell you that it's more important to use the specified faction than to do things perfectly. I'm fine with that. I mean, to each their own and I understand that you feel differently, but I just wanted to put in my 2 cents since the topic came up.

Also, if you remember the old system, the rewards for those feats were pretty terrible. 3 or 4 salvage of something petty. TBH that's not much more incentive to do the last feat than just the satisfaction you get from knowing you completed everything.

I read a lot of statements about needing a full relic empire team...
I did it with a G8 DT and G8 3* Gideon ?

Cheers buddy, you helped me out massively here.
Cleared T7 all empire with R3 Vader lead, g12 palp, 6* g8 shore, 5*g8 DT, 3* G8 Gideon.
Granted, I had a lot of false starts before RNGesus lined it up, but wasn’t more than maybe 20 minutes which is not bad for max rewards.

If you are 18/18 GC-T7 reward earned, just let us collect it when we complete it. In three days I am going to wonder if I received everything that I was supposed to.

It's weird. I can complete everything except some of the "full Empire squad" feats - I did tier 4, and unlocked the second last crate - no point working on tier 5 or 6 because I know I can't beat 7, and you have to beat 7 to get to the last crate :|

Sorta grateful there's no point in even trying lol makes it that much quicker. What exactly do we need 3 days for?

Yeah the mod salvage being doubled at the final tier is a kick in the face. In the previous iteration, if you had another team or could finish all but the final tier with the chosen faction, you could get all but one of the rewards. Now you miss out on a significant jump between the second-highest box and the highest box. I get that this is to incentivize rage-spending on the faction, but it seems like this one needs not just theory-crafting, but a full team of R5+ Empire. With both empire teams relying on TM gain, having this against an opposing Hux Zeta is a real hamstring to theorycrafting.

You could rage spend in the previous system too, that has nothing to do with it, as this didnt change.

The events are recurring and doubled in frequency, investing in a proper team to beat it, is a decent choice for any player.

Is it confirmed that it'll be a set pattern and not new ones each time? Fir example investing in bounty hunters is ok if they will be need every month. But if it's only bhs every 4 months, it's kinda a waste. Especially if the gac changes where a different comp is needed every time. Gear 5 bus is one thing. Maxing the whole faction to be ready for anything is another.

Just cleared it underdogged Vader R7 Lead, Palp R3, Thrawn G12, Piett 3 star G9, really not difficult if you know how to handle Hux.

@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.

also for me the summoned unit had to survive to count the feat. thrawn lead, vader, palpatine, moff and GL rey I used. in the end thrawn, rey and the summoned unit survived and I got the feat for full empire

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.
