Hey all,
I like this "bug" and hope it's intentional.
About me and the current situation: I'm 100% ftp, got Dark Revan the first time, Malak the second time, spent all my GET1 to star him up. Didn't get GAS, preparing for next time.
First, playing a resource management game is far easier if you know what's coming, obviously. So communication allow those who want to invest time to follow social media to make better decisions; i get that and understand why some people might feel "cheated" when a major change as this one happens. Nevertheless.
IF it's intentional, I think the "Malak incident" is a great and logical idea.
After Legendaries, aka good characters difficult to obtain, Hero's Journey, very good characters very difficult to obtain, we have Epic confrontation, god-like characters throw-my-phone-out-of-the-window difficult to obtain.
If you want to have those game-breaking characters early, you have to sacrifice a LOT of resources (or money), and even if you do, you need proper hoarding of GET and a pile of gear to put it to use early. A few months later, the event comes back, allowing more people to obtain it. Then, another Epic confrontation arrives. Why not allowing even more people to obtain/star up the old Epic guy, now not so dominant anymore ?
If it's the new norm, from a player perspective you have more choices of development (and the way I see it, in a game, more choices are always good) when an Epic confrontation arrives in town:
1) Try to lives up to the crazy requirements to have the new shiny toy ready to go from the start. Spend your GET to have him up and running of wait for the 3rd coming to finish the job.
2) Get prepared for the second time it'll come, farming all those crazy requirement, choosing to hoard GET to have him power up a couple of months before the event comes back a third time, or spend your GET on gear and wait for the 3rd time to 7* him
3) Farm only a part of the requirements, aiming to get it to 5* the 3rd time. So you can gear up only Darkside Revan to obtain his buddy Malak or only Republic Galactic people to add General Ani to the bunch. It'll take longer, but you can.
It gives us much more choices of development, and again, I think it's a good, a very good thing. It's a personal choice between "here and now" and "wait till it's cheaper", same as lots of things in the game. Extra shard shop currency just soften (a bit) the blow for those choosing "here and now".
Something else off topic: CG, I was kinda excited to replay an Epic confrontation I've played before, it's pretty sad. Please give me something to play with my toys on the shelf when I feel like it. Maybe a weekly thing instead of a daily thing, so I can play when I see fit ? I know I don't give you money and so I probably don't matter, but still, it'll be appreciated.
