Mythic Mods Removal

CG, just release 6-7* mods already that will nullify all of our hard work, and then i can finally quit this game already.

I'm really confused by this. How can anyone be able to beat the mythic tier, and yet not be advanced enough in the game to understand how the rewards work?

I know there are some people who did not get the rewards after hours of tweaking and pounding; this just tells them to go pound sand, to put it politely.

I haven't been in the forums in a while; I'm sure I haven't missed much.

I feel like I need to remind everyone that, not so long ago, there were no mythic tiers. Players often requested a chance to replay the legendary events they had already beaten just for fun. No rewards needed, we just wanted to play the game and see how our teams had progressed.

Then the mythics arrived and they brought gold mods with them

And now you say you are removing the mods from said event because a few fools complained about something? Would that these highly influential fools complain about something useful. Why do you insist on shooting yourselves in the foot like this?

Anyway, I don't need the mods to play the mythics. But don't try to tell me the mods are the least valuable part of them.

Who's the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

It reminds me of the Monty Python skit. Can't remember the exact line, but something like:

We will increase the beatings until morale improves.

That's not the impression I got. To be fair, the impression I got was that they were only removing the first time completion mods. What do I know, though?

Aaaaaaanyway.... @CG_SBCrumb tagging you in on this because everyone else is doing it, and I'd hate for you to have missed the earlier post I made that literally solved everything because it wasn't tagged.

You guys already have the solution implemented. Go into the Forest Moon rewards menu and it shows a whole bunch of mods using that generic mod icon with the symbol of the type you can get and the dots above it. Just use that. Shade it gold so people know it's what they'll get--or leave it white, when they get their gold they'll be pleasantly surprised. Stop making things hard on yourself by overthinking the solutions to problems, and don't make some overly dramatic post about "We'll remove these things until we can get it right," that's some straight up co-dependency nonsense right there, and I should know because I'm SUPER co-dependent :p

Its hard to take CG at their word about listening to feedback and improving on their communication when we see stuff like this and most everything else thats gone on the past week. Actions speak louder than words and this action shows you all you need to know.

CG: Yo dawg, you complained about semantics, so we gave you a legitimate reason to complain instead.

I've said this before but it bears repeating, the in-game description of events including rewards and whether or not attempts are shared should be overhauled to be more descriptive. They should denote the range of rewards and how many distinct rewards you can receive. With everything accomplished in this game, I don't believe it would be that difficult to modify the rewards tab with an apt description of what you can receive and if attempts are shared.

We had this issue with the Ghosts of Dathomir event where attempts were shared between the two tiers but it was never noted in the event. This was further confusing due to the achievement to beat Tier 1 10 times. Why would you beat tier 1 10 times when you can do Tier 2 for better rewards? Seemed like they were trying to trick us into getting lower rewards for the sake of an achievement.

I see small improvements such as the Bounty quests which clearly state that attempts are shared and exactly what rewards you will get. This should be done with all events and challenges and raids, clearly state the rewards or reward ranges. Don't just state "one or more of the following." That is far too vague.

Removing one of the rewards from the mythic tier because people were confused is doubling down on the problem. You caused the confusion and to rectify it, remove a reward? Why not edit the rewards text to clarify? And why make an incredibly subjective statement about mods being the least valuable reward? The most valuable reward is what the player/customer deems valuable. This could have been handled much better and I hope they (CG/EA) will heed the suggestion to revamp their descriptions and extend their promise for better communication to also include in-game communication.

You're never going to get an exact "number of" or "quantity of" in the description fields. For whatever reason, this game was built around obfuscation of rewards and has done quite well. Much to the frustration of players like me who want to know the programmed drop rates so I can do my own QA. I'm a bit OCD like that though.

What I don't understand, is the complaining. They built a Mythic event where none existed before. People just wanted to replay the legendary events and instead, CG did us a favor by including high quality rewards for completing and gave us a new game play experience.. And what do they get as thanks? Posts about 2 omegas per attempt not being enough to justify the effort and then three posts down there's someone complaining about the omega materials crunch and the materials pack not coming out frequently enough. They include SUPER high quality mods in this event, and you seem to be complaining that they didn't tell us the exact number we should expect to receive. why? Why? WHY???? I just don't get it. Now the mods are gone. Great.

Being vague on rewards IS NOT THE SAME as not clearly defining shared attempts across tiers. Do not conflate the two issues. One is relevant, the other is not. You get to choose.

Honestly, if I were in their shoes, I'd use the approach someone else had posted where instead of showing gold mods and all the different types available they go back to the generic transparency catch-all mod and people would be pleasantly surprised when a gold one dropped. Then if people complained I'd simply say "it is what it is". Here they were trying to provide more clarity and obviously had to field a ton of complaints. And I still can't figure out over what exactly.

Since no one else seems to be saying it; CG, the Yoda event was dope and the rewards were incredible. Thank you.
