did it with GL Rey, Bando, Raid han, cat, dash

most other teams died instantly, interestingly
GL Rey, jtr, ben, can't remember who else, i got bored, it got down to just JTR and Reva trading blows

That's the only way I could beat it. Put it on auto and after Reva died 3 times (and half hour later) I got the shards.

People have said it's possible with Traya. No one has said it was a "walk in the park" or "easy" in the slightest.

I thought it was pretty easy with Traya. Tough to say for sure since we can't replay it, but I beat it first try with her and she and Nihlus were never close to dying. Others in my guild had the same experience. This was at R5 with no GL support.

Have you tried Traya?

It's RNG. Took me 6 tries with Traya-Trio Malak LV

Like I predicted when PG was first announced, it seems CG have tuned it to the extent that only one or two squads are capable of surviving.

Easy mode: Traya, Nihilus, Sion, Malak, LV. LV didn’t feel strictly necessary. R5 trio, R7/8 Malak/LV.

Seen screenshots of Rex lead BB (without omega) all R5 winning with supposed standard mods.
Can’t try myself as I already did it, but would suggest those struggling to try it.

And yet in my guild even the high players with really good mods had their Traya teams without GL die when they tried it to see if they can find something to help those that still need the shards.

I am just so glad I maxed the ship while it was still in the Shop for currency, I would be so angry right now if I needed a few shards and would be stuck just because I don't have the right GLs or toons.

How are newer players whom could not play hard when the ship was in Conquest supposed to feel? It's like a punishment just because they haven't started playing 5 years ago. With something like this CG tells all the newer players whom could not participate (enough) that they should forget about getting those shards for a very long time.

I am absolutely concerned how much harder every additional tiers might become, for example Malgus.

Why should someone need Traya vs. one of the GL's to complete the event? GL's are premiere units and in theory are the ones that players have worked the hardest or spent the most to get. Therefore having a GL should be enough pass the squirrel catcher and win the interreceptor shards. Crazy to think a player with no GL's and high reliced Traya team can beat it vs. player with GL's.

this is a game based strategy and abilities, some of the best units in the game might not have the right abilities to win some battles

That's why

No, having a GL doesn't mean you should be given freebies on every node in the game

You're the first one in this whole chain to call this easy so you can say I was wrong because you said it.

It doesn't change the critique people have of the event requiring a specific team comp or characters that the average player who needs a catchup mechanic will have. It also doesn't change the fact that the requirement is listed as R3 which implies a player with an R3 average on their roster should be able to finish it which is blatantly not the case.

Again, this is supposed to be a catchup mechanic for the average player that missed these characters being in Conquest. This isn't possible to complete without exact team comps while all the other PR stages can be accomplished with most teams that meet the R3 requirement. It's poorly designed to the point of being almost a blatant lie in its presentation.

People have said it's possible with Traya. No one has said it was a "walk in the park" or "easy" in the slightest. Let alone most folks have stated that it's requiring a team comp of characters that most newer players don't have access too. Proving Grounds is supposed to be a challenging catchup mechanic for players who have access to normal Conquest. These challenges should be INLINE with the requirements of Conquest, not blatantly lied to by the information presented to them in game.

What's most sad about this is that you're a moderator here and you're actively gaslighting people who have come to this forum to report on an issue they're having in the game. I.E. - the game communicating a requirement of R3 that is grossly not what is actually required of the player to accomplish this mission. An issue that is effecting everyone who doesn't have the EXACT team comp you need to get through it or were able to get through it because RNG fell in their favor.

Shame on you.

R3 is a requirement to attempt

not a guarantee to victory

CG would've made the requirements a lot higher but the community is always against having higher requirements (and for good reason)

Like very very very long and boring walk - until either palps gets to ultimate or lowader makes 3 of it. And only if luck allows them to stand 1v1 against reviva
