How to upgrade era levels on the new Marquee F2P?
Coliseum rewards are inaccessible for f2p. You cannot progress past the first reward, meaning your character gets stuck at level 5 or 6 unless you buy packs.
I unlocked and completed the marquee tier 1 and 2 for Stormtrooper Luke, which allows you to take Luke to 3 stars.
I then decided to buy the 1.99 currency pack and 299 crystal materials pack, which took my 3-star Luke from Era Level 5 to 7 before the upgrade materials ran out, leaving me with only currency. I used my 4 remaining attempts but was unable to get even the 2nd reward in tier 1 for dealing 20% damage, even with the packs.
The first reward grants 25 mk1 grek ability module, and that is not enough to upgrade the character's era level, meaning you cannot do any more damage on your other attempts, and therefore you cannot earn further rewards in order to upgrade your character to do more damage, so you can earn more rewards... so on and so forth. It's a broken catch-22 system.
How are you supposed to upgrade the era level to reach level 65 if you cannot inflict enough damage to earn more materials and progressively improve your character? Forget level 65, you can't even get 1 level higher.
The first round has ended, and the second round with the Tomb Guardians has started, and it is the same.
CG said that all f2p players would be able to reach 65 and unlock the character later, at g12 and ability level 7. But as it stands, the only way to increase the era level is by buying packs with crystals or money.
Am I missing something?
