You know, if you are going to make the game just as hard to beat as it would be in Conquest, maybe give us power ups like in Conquest cause my R7 squads can’t even beat these rounds and I have them packed with speed and turn meter and all sorts of top mods.

i think its stupid to exclude under 4m, considering that CAT at this point has no other way to get her shards, so there are a bunch of people that were spending crystals in the store prior to this that will have her under 4m, but others dont have that opportunity until something else happens with heralso, the 4m req wasnt communicated at all is really annoying.

The decision made to restrict the people more likely to be short of the CAT unlock (those who cannot do hard conquest) is shameful and I hope someone over there has the ability to show empathy and changes it

What was originally communicated as requirements:Commander Ashoka Tano will be heading to a new Event called “Proving Grounds.” This Event will have a monthly cadence and will allow you to earn her shards for FREE, so long as you have the prerequisite to enter.Requirements:Must not already own the unit at 7*Must not already own enough shards to 7* the unitOnce you obtain the unit at 7* or have enough shards to 7* the unit, they will no longer be accessible.This is not meant to be a source for Shard Shop Currency, this is an opportunity to get characters that were once exclusive to Conquest.The 4M GP requirement is kind of a slap in the face, honestly. Hard to say I'm surprised they found a way to make a great thing terrible, though...I mean, I could almost understand if the GP requirement was 2M (the barrier for Normal Conquest). That at least would be "understandable."

I wouldn't mind so much if they had been upfront about the 4 Million GP breakpoint, no mention of it back in April when they announced the event. Super Annoying

Awesome.

You forgot: ...and as long as they have at least 4M GP, otherwise nothing to see.

This event is harder than doing the conquests were when they were released. xD

So idk who it's for. Certainly not people that couldn't clear those conquests.

Afraid of what the rest of the battles will look like.

Classic CG intentional horrible design.

Both of the missions are pretty difficult. Couldn't even win with a SEE team (my wat isn't 7* so didn't qualify) but managed with GaS. The other battle vs Moff I did my own troopers and had no issue. I can understand why they require 4m roster now due to the difficulty of the battles.

I can't complete hard but finish 1 or 2nd crate normal; I beat both events in one shot.

This was supposed to be a catch up event for new/lower gp players but now they have to wait years, for a year old character?

It doesn't make sense that someone like me who has had CAT at R5 for almost a year get to not only play the event, but also earn shards when a large of player base under 4m GP can't.

GP is irrelevant and does not equal good roster. I have friends who have GL's and have earned CAT shards from normal conquest + farmed her with crystals but because they're below 4m GP they can't attempt this event?

They why was she available through normal conquest?

Lol I’m like 3.5m gp, and was hyped for this event. Also, I thought you only got rewards if you had not unlocked / had less than 330 shards of CAT.
