So one year ago I said to myself, “self, what should you really focus on in this game? ‘What a good question’, I said, ‘well I know that next year they will release some cool toon for the new movie, why not prep for that known future event”
And so I did. I focused like a kyber crystal on resistance and first order. I have them all at 7 stars (other than unmasked Kylo and special forces tie pilot). When the vets were released I saw the writing on the wall and began to purchase their packs in shipments, I saved up 4K in crystals to spend when they were moved to a farmable location. when they were moved to cantina I spent 300 energy a day (700 during the double drops) on them. I’ve even farmed the millennium falcon to 4 stars. I regularly get in top 100 in arena and sometimes top (50) my best ranking is number 2. Still doing everything I possibly could I’ve only managed to get them to 6 stat for han and 5 star for chewie.
Now I’m not complaining, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, but it should be acknowledged that no amount of planning, no amount of ‘playing smarter’ could make this event possible for f2p. Other events I’ve missed out on just because I chose to focus my efforts elsewhere, or not read the writing on the wall. This is the first event I can remember where it literally doesn’t matter what you did, you simply can’t get the character without paying money.
