Sad about the C3PO event

1. Murder bears have a place in the game. As with all faction based games, it's whether you want to invest in a faction. Some veteran players invested in Ewoks when most shunned them. Kudos to them.

2. Most of us went through the CLS, Thrawn, JTRey, R2 etc requirements. When I first started, it was just 5 Jedi for GMYoda. By saying that you are new doesnt give you a "Redeem your premium toon" pass. All of us had to farm for it. The only difference is how fast we did it. Some spent cash, some waited, some deemed it unnecessary to farm specifically for them.

I suppose I feel quite sympathetic towards the plight of newer players. There are so many events and farming requirements that the FOMO is real. The trick is to stay focused and play to your strengths. This is a farming game and I am nearly 3 years in.

I startet with the game in may/june this year and I'm really eager to come forward. With the C3PO event I'm totally cut out because the Ewoks dont have any real purpose in the game right now and with limited possibilitys to farm characters you farm the ones that bring you forward. So basically this event is just for players that play that game for a very long time. The new players and maybe mid term players wont have any chance to get there. And even in the future C3PO has to be a very very important character to make it worth spending the limited recources to farm that murder bears. So that makes me sad because its really an iconic charakter like R2D2 and I want him out of a collectors view. I really hope he's not essential for jedi luke or anything else very very important thing in the game. That would be really unfair against the newer players and that would not be the way to win and hold newer players. And everybody knows that a game that doesnt find new players will die...

Dude you can't complain about this. You haven't been playing long to get end game content and that's just how it is unless you spend money. It's how this game works with every toon. Just keep playing and get what you can get. I've been playing a little over 2 years and I will get a 7* C3P0 but I still don't always get everything first go around

Sorry to say mate its not unfair, its the way it is, ive been playknh this for 3 years and i wont be gettinh him 7 star ill be lucky to unlock him at 5.

Also now with c3 po there is your incentive to farm ewoks. Was you around when thrawn first came out? While your on the subject of unfair.

But dont worry if yoi dont get him this tine you will next time :-)

I know what you mean but seriously the Ewoks have no value for me. With other events you mostly have to farm good factions that have a value afterwards like bounty hunters for chewee. But the Ewoks have no value in my eyes and if C3PO is not so important that he is a must have that I will use my energy to farm sith, bounty hunters, rebels, troopers, first oder, ships and other valuable toons first. So if he is not a must have I most likely will never have him and thats sad for me.

Also I laugh at the fact you think this game might die because I promise you this game is making sooooo much money and adding new players every day because ppl love the crap outta star wars and that won't change

Ya sorry man but this game is all about priorities and choices. Sometimes hard choices are made where you may have to temporarily sacrifice competitiveness in order to achieve a longer term goal. So if the professor is someone you really want (and I can tell you with a high level of certainty he will be needed for jedi luke) then that’s going to have to be a choice you will need to make. I too have been playing this game since day one and this has always been the case, with new character releases. I will also be fortunate to get him at 5 star. Will need to wait until next time to get him 7 star.

Are you kidding me a fully decked out Ewok team can destroy a lot of very high end teams, they are so under rated.

What value does bounty hunters have besides some events and 1 tb node? Ewoks are very very good. There are players that take 1 on arena daily on very old arenas. Ewoks are generally hated...because they are ewoks, not because they suck.

Ewoks decked out are right behind the meta teams and extremely potent.

The game is designed so that players can choose which factions they prefer to collect and level up. When a new toon is announced there will be some players who panic farm, some who will buy crystals to perform refreshes or buy bundles to level required characters for the next meta...the thing is, nobody is ever likely to get every character when they come to the table first time around.

I never had CLS on first pass, same with Rey, same again for Thrawn, BB8...I’ve been playing a couple of years now and you soon get used to the difference between working on which toons need to be boosted because you simply want a complete roster and which ones you want to work on because you will have a useful faction to fight with afterwards.

Ewoks are a potent team because the extra heals and regenerations are very useful and that’s one reason why they should not be dismissed as a useful squad to work on for things like Territory War and Battles. That being said, I may not have my Ewoks up to strength to unlock C-3PO when he arrives...but I may unlock him on the next pass, or the one following that.

The game may make you feel like you are being pressured into having to have each new toon, if it doesn’t drop for you this time it’s only a 2-3 month wait to try again, sometimes you wait longer but the principle is the same. Have a go, if it doesn’t happen, then you have not failed, you have had a taste of what needs boosting for next time.

Above all, have fun with it and it makes unlocking the elusive toon all the sweeter when you see them sitting in your selection screen. I’m working on my Bounty Hunters to push Chewbacca to 7* next time he returns and I’m also working on Old Republic for Jedi Revan on his next appearance but if it doesn’t happen then next time...

May The Force Be With You

So you collect the toons, but don't want the ewoks. Then you're not really collecting are you? I've been playing since launch and the only toons I don't have are Revan, Wampa and Traya. My guild is very close to beating hsr, I got Hoda first, and didn't farm the OR squad in time. C3P0 will come around regularly, so farm the ewoks when you can. Most are very easy to farm, except Wicket, so you'll have them eventually. Look at it as a goal. If everything was handed to you, you'd grow bored really quickly
