Repeatable Events and High Tenacity

I read it as “please don’t make us remod for events”.

The amount of tenacity used, generally speaking means you can remod to have less RNG, not overcome it.

Adding to that the point that the event is very easily replayable over multiple days, means it is easier to restart the event to get better RNG, than it will be to try and push towards "the best modding possible".

Also back in the day, they did say that the expectation on thier end was that mods would be moved less than we do. If that expectation has changed, then it would make sense for them to give us better management over that system.

Just to clarify a bit - since many people seem to be focusing on this specific GC:

In general, there are several (not all) events that entail a general strategy of "To start, attack target X to inflict debuff Y. If it doesn't stick, retreat and start over..." This is largely true in the current GC where the preferred strategy is to have Bossk open with "Hunting Party" to stun IG-11 and get has many hits on him to help speed up the payout, regardless as to which BH lead you use. But it's not limited to this GC. Just as another example, it's true for most of the early strategies to win the "Finalizer" event (i.e. "Stun opponent's Eta-2, or retreat and start over...").

The point of this clarification, is simply that I was expressing some feedback in general, regarding these "tenacity check at the door" mechanics - not specific to this event. The "puzzle" of the events should be figuring out the best tools for the job - not depending on opening RNG. It's not a big deal - I have plenty of free time to do it over and over and over and over and over again (as evidenced by the amount of time I have to post). It's just feedback. In general.

I got it right after I posted that lol

If only there were a BH with tenacity down that was the smartest BH to also get for the Chewbacca event.

If only people would read the very first line of the very first post and realize this is NOT about this event specifically....

This is a losing battle, these threads always lead to, this is how I did x or this is how to do y.

I read the OP. It complained about BH GC and high tenacity. My reply is a solution. It is also the most valid solution. You will find many posts on the forums where I recommend to people using HK for his tenacity down. My most common is Thrawn to HK, but even Jawa Engineer then HK. It's the mechanics. Complaining about legit mechanics such as NPCs using high tenacity just like I do with my 174 tenacity Nest is not going to change any Dev decisions.

Get Dengar. I don't have Dengar, but that is the solution.

It would be funny if a Dev jumped in here and said,"If you guys can mod your Nest to 174, why can't we mod our NPC's to 174?"

Galactic Challenges are not meant for everyone to = win each week. You should steamroll some and you should struggle on others, unless your roster is just that awesome. Mine is not. Lots of missing feats this time, cause I don't have Dengar.

Oh, and @MetaThumper the answer to your question should be is your potency minus the statistical 15% base chance to resist a debuff after you have applied tenacity down.

I'd first point out that I have already completed all feats in all 7 tiers of the current BH GC (so this doesn't come off as a "sour grapes" post). In repeatable events, please stop with the high tenacity toons (or ships - ala Finalizer event). It only forces players to enter, open, then, when the needed debuff(s) don't stick, retreat, rinse and repeat. That does not make the event "better" or "more puzzly" - it just makes it rng-dependent, boring, and take longer than it should.

High speed or high health units, as a gear/relic "check" is understandable. But high tenacity is just a "time wall". Please stop implementing it in repeatable events.

OP is NOT asking for a "how to" on this event, it was a simple feedback on ALL repeatable events.

I simply stated that threads like this are a losing battle because many can't go with general feed back on ALL events and feel the need to provide a "how to" on which ever event is running, I didn't ask for a how to, and you still provided one.
So thanks for proving my point.

In general posting specific examples is likely to get you specific responses.

Clearly. Regardless as to any attempts to dissuade them from doing so.

In general factions have access to tenacity down / potency up / lead potency modifiers.

I realize that - which is why I use them on events that utilize the mechanic I'm offering feedback on. At the risk of bringing up a specific event, and thus opening up that can of proverbial worms, that is precisely why I used Jango lead in the most recent GC.

In general every toon can use potency mods.

Ok. I know you love remodding for events with minimal rewards too, so I'll just leave it at "Ok".

In general if you are struggling based on an RNG outcome then either you need better gear / relics / mods or you should be looking for better tactics.

. First off "struggling" is a very broad term. But in general, I am not struggling, as I complete all tiers of all events. But I'll keep that in mind.

I don’t mind high tenacity — it would be too easy if you can stick every debuff without any problems

The tenacity is high enough imo

It wasn’t too crazy where everything was resisted nor did I need high potency to land debuffs

So the solution is to not make them repeatable??? :smirk:
