Did we know the star requirement was going to be changed for this assault battle? I completed tier 3 last time and now I'm stuck doing tier 1 because I don't meet the requirements for the rest.Is this going to be the case for all future assault battles?

Yes, absolutely. I'm certain that I've used 3* nihilus to complete the bonus tier before.

It is annoying that they changed the requirements without notice. I had also previously beaten all 3 tiers and now can only do Tier 1.

As my observation goes Tier1 is 3 starsTier2 is 5 stars Bonus tier is 7 Stars

Yeah, it's very odd, because there are no stated requirements at all, not in the dev notes from launch or anything.Obviously it's the weekend and we may have some issues getting a direct response and it's a little early to expect anything right now. But they have been flagged and we will have to wait and see.

It's because they released a OP 3 star character called sion that wrecks the event.

You sure you've completed all three tiers before?Have a look at the rewards tab, if tier two & three show "first time rewards" you haven't. I don't think the requirements have changed.

Also, have you maybe got it confused with the Forest Moon assault battle?

I definitely have - only 1* because I relied on EP and Vader but I definitely have.

The account that you posted your question with doesn't have Nihilus, or a mix of Sith and first order that would be strong enough to beat the bonus tier I reckon, that's why I asked.

That other guy's not me. I used EP/Vader/KRU/FOTP/Kylo. The bonus tier was difficult and took me a couple of tries, but I managed it. I could provide a screenshot as proof but whether or not I've done the bonus challenge before is not really the point of my thread - I'm asking if this is going to be a widespread change to assault battles and if we knew that it was coming.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Bit rubbish of them moving the goalposts without telling anyone. Hope you get an answer. They definitely haven't said anything about it

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
I was actually looking forward to the event, and the "thrill" the bonus tier gave me last time i completed it.
Now it is the same as the op's - can't even play tier 2.
WHAT IS THIS? DON'T DO THIS! DON'T BE MEAN TO YOUR PLAYERS!

Thought I was losing it, yes it now seems to require 7* toons for bonus tier. I already had it 3* but looking at who's available, I was thinking how did I 3* this with a mix of sith & fo. I think it would have been nice if they included the information about making an update to this event. Perhaps they could have just shoehorned it in the update notes about assault battles... I know, I know, that's just crazy talk.
