Raiders of the outer rim

Looking at the requirements for this event starting in a day. Requirements of pirates, of which Brutus event isn't even starting for a couple more days yet. And there is mentioned of someone named Vane, who the Hell is that? Why would an Event start before the required characters are not even available yet?

    Oh, my friend, let me tell you a little story about something called “the Order 66 Raid…”

  • and the other events of this nature also did the same

    I guess why is still a good question but

  • It’s their tactic to make players panic spend.  Typical EA/CG garbage to release an incomplete event where you don’t have the full requirements to earn rewards.  They also bolster the enemy units stats to levels “players cannot obtain in game” and give them bonus abilities to stymie your ability to complete the level.  

    Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Order 66 the raid?  No?  I thought not.  It’s not a story EA/CG likes you to hear.  It’s a terrible Nerf Legend.

    Wait until you try to kill KRU (4/4) in the higher tiers.  His heal makes it impossible.

    I can't beat KRU in Tier 3. The recommended gear level for allowed toons is IX for this tier. My SM-33 and Kix are Relic 7. Anytime he takes damage he heals for 132,000. I cannot put a dent in him even after applying heal block. I cannot fathom how gear IX toons are expected to defeat him.

  • I had to put my absolute best speed mods on kix to try and maintain the heal block while ithano pumped damage.  I had to remove quiggold as well to reduce the amount of healing. This event is completely overtuned and that's why they waited so long to release it.  They figured if you bought half the pirates already sunk cost fallacy will make you buy the rest.

  • Weirdly enough tier 4 Kylo has much less health.  Granted the rest of the event was so crazy I had to apply 4 zetas just to get it done.  Can't even imagine what tier 5 and 6 are going to be like

    Tier 5 is awful even with 4 toons at R7 and god mods.  Vets counter and hit like trucks.   KRU and friends go straight after Kix.   Lots of restarts and misery on that one.
