I hate tournaments plain and simple

I hate tournaments so much. Spent 300k ally points to get bumped out of 25th rank at the last moments. A huge waste of time and ally points for nothing.

honestly it feels like a competition of who has the most time to waste refreshing for battles they can beat

Make it so you get shards for every X points you get, perhaps? And you lose points if you lose.

We need to rework tournies.. by giving out more 'participation trophies' to ease some of the salt around here.

It's a tournament and you're not entitled to the prize you want. You have to work for it or stay mad without your Vader ship.

Scaling is ridiculous though. I unlock everythimng around 4* and I would consider myself not a top player but probably the next closest tier. And (besides shoretrooper and the Tie Advanced) they just sit there as trophies pretty much. Like besides liking Jyn's character what use is she at 4* or even worse Cassian at 3*? Not to mention 90% of players can't even get to this point

It's the time required. You simply can not unlock a toon from a tourney without spending all day playing. I put about 2.5 hours into this Vader tournament. That is on top of the normal 2 hours or so I spend on this game a day (over the course of the day). That's almost 8 hours of total game play over 2 days.... and you finish 1063. Are we just supposed to take off 2 full days so we can get Vader's ship?? Piss poor design and introducing most of the new OP characters this way is terrible.

If they did a tournament with this same format every 2-3 months for the 1 big toon coming out, cool. Or give us frequent tournaments for the same toon over the course of 2 months.... maybe every weekend for a month or every other for 2 months. This way the players that would still like to play and spend a couple of hours on a tourney can work towards an unlock.

But right now? Your choice is spend 20 hours on a tournament or finish 2000+. The middle ground people who put in a few hours wind up in no man's land of 1000 or so. Introducing nearly every character this way is terrible.

I am slightly encouraged that the Jyn and Tie Fighter tourneys came back already. That's a positive step.

They're horrible. They pit us against each other like gladiators to win the most powerful toons. End up on a tourney shard with a bunch of whales or cheaters? Too bad...no Chaze for you!

I hate them as well!!

My son landed 100 after the buzzer and we all high 5ved that we got that 60bp, but when the hour later rewards came he was at 102. 25bp.

I have about 15 words I could say about that, but it would violate the guidlines here. :|

Brutal @RancorPackGuild

HATE THEM! Like most have said, spend hours trying to get to the 100% unobtainable level that rewards enough blueprints to get the tie fighter only to fall VERY short again. And really, only the top 25 get anything worthwhile. The tourneys need a drastic overhaul on the payouts and also lower the ally points for refreshing squads. What's the deal with dropping the points received after every couple battles? After awhile, the points you win are garbage.
