    The rewards for challenge tier 2 are good.... But the return on investment is really bad if you upgrade even one character to r5 to complete it.

    So by that logic, it's actually pretty bad.


    Is it a bad roi if you beat challenge tier two once a month indefinitely? seems like it wouldn't take that long to pay off, plus from what I have heard you don't need to relic anyone bad to complete it.

    Do these people think you just have to upgrade Jango and Bossk to beat the event and then just throw them away? There are other game modes

    I don’t know if “hate” is the right word but choosing the Ebon Hawk because the Metrics say a certain % of players haven’t farmed it...is “something”. And the ‘Metric AI’ that builds these newer encounters uses frustration for repeatable playability...which kinda feels like “hate” so I can see why some players feel that way. Not everyone is as zen to simply “not beat the event”.


    Not sure what Ebon Hawk has to do with Assault Battles...

    And who is making all of you upgrade to r5 solely to beat these events? Seems like upgrading these characters also helps in other ways? My BH can clear 4/4 in every DS Geo event. My BH can also easily trip up people in GAC on defense or can absolutely wipe Nightsister teams with full health and banners.

    I'm not sure what can make some of you people happy. I guess you just want new events that you can clear at really low levels and piles upon piles of rewards for not upgrading a team?


    I agreed with everything you said. Not arguing.

    What is making players feel the need to complete everything? (sometimes sooner than possible) Because something is frustrating players. There is some kind of desire to be able to “beat all the events” and when you don’t you feel left behind...and CG exploits that feeling.

    Something wrong with your Corn Flakes this morning? If you look carefully, nobody here is complaining about not being able to beat challenge tier 2. Several people reported on their T2 results, but I don't see any complaints regarding inability to complete with g12 bounty hunters.
    Take heart, the stock market will recover in time.

    T2 has so much TM loaded it is ridiculous. And Chirrut lead seems to give 50% TM to any rebel whenever an enemy Bounty Hunter inhales or exhales.

    If you upgrade 2 characters from g12 to r5 for this event, the ROI looks like this:
    Circuit Board & Bronzium : 32 months
    Chromium: 18 months
    Aurodium: 8 months
    Fragmented data: 30 months
    Incomplete data: 44 months
    Flawed data: 10 months

    That's strictly looking at spending this gear for this challenge tier.

    With the impending relic requirements for the galactic legends looming on the horizon, investing relic mats in an event that won't pay back for 8-10 months seems like a bad investment today.

    While I like beating and event, I don't give a rats rump if I fail to beat an event. Not a zen attitude I suspect, more of..meh.. lol

    If asked "well then why post that you beat it?". Reply, "To show it can be beaten with minimal investment. *devs scurry away to make it harder* lol
