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

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 strongly disagree with the last part. I easily beat Maul using JMK and Moff using Imperial Troopers. Now, you don't need JMK, it can be done with any GL as well as teams like GAS etc

I have friends under 4m GP but they have GL's/good teams etc and looking at their rosters, I know for a fact that they would beat this event without issue but can't due to this horrible GP requirement.

This event is way too difficult for those of us without GLs. I was looking forward to it prior to actually playing it, but it's a huge disappointment.

I used imperial troopers against Moff, got 3 stars despite them going before me. It can be done, GAS works too.

There are GP gates for quite a few things in this game. Conquest and Proving Grounds happen to have the same one, and Geonosis TB has one for the entire guild.

It’s not new. Learn to live with it.

She's an alien. Maybe 14-months-old is pretty advanced for her species. The opposite can also be the case. See Grogu.

Really? I solo'd it with SEE. Granted it took me two attempts, but it is doable. Mine is modded for health to take on Rey though.

Ah yea modding would play a big role. I nearly won the first battle. These Mandos are not normal R3 toons. The other battle is tuned right.

I agree with all the above, the GP gate is dumb, let people have a go. Just saying the maul battle is conquest version hard, and you have no disks or consumables to help.

I heard CLS team beat them nicely. Try a few teams. My Lord Failure lost... Won it with JMK

This is so wrong in so many ways...
Let's gate it at 10mil GP for the next new shiny toon, see if you would jump or not. Hope u can be happy if the next GL requirement is 10 mil GP gate

And looking at how much crystals for refresh for the event, isn't it cheaper to just buy her shard? I mean come on, it is just catch up. Need the crystal refresh be so steep ? Why not refresh it at 300 to 400 crystals??
