**** are CG smoking? Why make these things so difficult for players that obviously didn't have the rosters to get the toons in conquest initially? This is just frustrating and unenjoyable.

This convinces me even more that they don't test the game at all.

People worked hard in previous conquest to get these toons, makes sense those who missed out also have to put in effort into acquiring them

effort? you call only being able to use gl's for this event for starters and every gl that most people have dying in a few hits against a relic 3 inquisitrash team effort? we already put in the effort with getting the gl's in the first place.

Is this a joke?

Effort, yes, but this really stacked against non-whale players. I've spent some money on the game here and there, but with all due respect this is really stacked against the average player. Thus far, all of the other events in PG have felt tough but fair, but not this one. Getting only 20 shards per event without a massive 2200 crystal refresh isn't rewarding players who couldn't get them on their initial run. It's not a fair argument. The average player still takes great pride in their rosters, accomplishments, and defeating very tough (GAS comes to mind) events. With the short window we're given very little time to theorycraft these encounters, and it furthermore makes players feel punished who weren't in a position to get it.

In other words, I'm okay with a world where the top players/spenders get first crack at the new toys. It's fine, they've done the work and spent (a LOT) money on this game. F2P and those who don't spend considerable amounts of money on the game, and newer players, wouldn't get these new conquest units until easily a year after their release, and to make an event literally harder than any encounter in hard mode conquest is really alienating to most of us.

This isn't a case of us not 'working hard enough', it's the case of making the event literally impossible for a huge swath of players, even those who have multiple GLs and GP rosters of 5+ million. How have those players not "put in effort"?

I was able to 1 star it with GL Rey, Ben, Heroes and Holdo, but it was just luck. Basically was able to get into Rey's ultimate stance with just her left. Inqs took like a hundred turns each and built up their DOTS. Release ultimate (which didn't event kill them all) but then they each died on their next turn from the DOTS. Was gonna try a Traya lead next if this didn't work.

Hey CG/EA executives,

Pay your testers more, maybe you can lower your turn over rate and toxic work environment and in turn release decent content thats both balanced and bug free. You're trading a paycheck today for a bankruptcy tomorrow.

SMH.

So I did manage to do this with SEE, so I’m not complaining because I managed to do it.

I’m more complaining because it’s like CG doesn’t care about the community. This event takes the cake in the recent trend of CG releasing something, only to revisit it a week or two later. Traya omicron and TIE Defender, now this? When will the lesson be learned?

Is there a particular reason the Inquisitors in this Proving Grounds are set as “R3 Elite” when R8 GLs are having extreme trouble clearing the event?

I can confirm JMK can work with a little luck…





Get DI on GK, ride the wave, ultimate as soon as possible (60%+) and kill GI & 7th

Be careful, 3rd will revive twice!

Yes and realistically, these PGs should be reasonably able to be beaten by SEVERAL if not MOST top tier legendary/GL teams. That’s a lot of investment to even get to that point in the first place. Artificially inflating the difficulty by jacking up the stats WAY past the presented strength level and dishing out extra mechanics to specifically disallow certain teams (Phoenix comes to mind) is just ridiculous and not fun.
