Hey Folks,

Just got confirmation that both locations have wrong information.

You'll be able to access the event with 4*, and to unlock the ship, you will need 7*

Thanks so much for the clarification! Really appreciate the quick response too (sincerely).

I know it's not relevant to Leviathan but are you gonna say anything about GI? A lot of people have been waiting for months and it's all radio silent. There was nothing with the update post either so it's concerning.

I just wanted to ask in a post where he was active recently so maybe it would be quicker to get an answer

Well since it clearly states you need them at 7 stars to unlock, getting them to 5 stars and stopping serves 0 purpose.

Except that there was a precedent set with both Executor and Profundity where you needed the ships at 4* to access the event and 7* to complete it. Therefore their initial statement was in keeping with past behaviour. If you wanted to unlock early then you could buy packs for inflated amounts of crystals if you so chose.

It's also about their communication on the issue which should be clarified. They said one thing and then turned around and changed their mind. It's less than ideal, although they are of course within their rights to do so, but I know I personally put farming Ebon Hawk on the backburner once I had it at 5* to focus on signal data for the other reqs. I wouldn't have done that had they been clear in their communication and I imagine other players may have made similar choices given the information they chose to give out.

I don't see the communication failure here.... 5 stars will let you unlock the event, 7 stars required to complete the event... What am I missing?

@BubbaFett The journey guide says 7* to just unlock the event.

Yes, that was included in the OP. Even the wording in the OP doesn’t have a contradiction either; there’s a difference between accessing the event and unlocking the ship.

But if you look at the events for, say Exe or Prof it says 4* ships to access the event, and then increases the stars for the tiers once inside the event itself from 4* up to 7*. The expectation here given what they said in the kit reveal is that the JG would have 5* as a requirement to access the event on the first page and then the tabs for the different tiers would show the increase in stars up to 7*.

Yes, and that is how it reads to me? It doesn’t say you need 7* to access the event. It says 7 to unlock the ship, which should be the last battle drop of shards. So the battles tier up.

But, it's contrary to the way the Exe and Prof events are set up, where they have 4* on the landing page as the requirement to access the event. The way it's set up now I doubt players will be able to attempt the first tier of Leviathan (presumably the one which would require 5* ships as implied in the kit reveal) and will instead be stuck at the preqs screen.




For any other event, ship or character if you don't meet all of the pre-requisites you can't get past that first tab even if you have the toons to do the first few tiers. Thinking about Exe, Prof and GLs. Either they were wrong in what they said in the kit reveal or they've put the wrong thing in game (probably the less likely of the two). Clarification is all that's needed.

I mean, yeah... Their comms should have been better (or accurate), but t's not really that big of a deal ... Not like it's keeping anyone from an unlock or something..

But it may...my guildmate unlocked Exec with a 6* Razor Crest because he bought the capital ship shard packs after doing all the tiers he could do. However, you can't even buy the pack unless you have access to the event (which he had since he had RC unlocked). IT actually may hurt a small number of people who couldn't finish the galactic chases or didn't finish Ebon Hawk in time (as OP said). If they were willing to buy the packs to finish unlocking, they may be hosed.
