Talzin in shipments

Yeah I'm very disappointed that I don't have enough disposable income to spend on this game.

Likely the crystal one, yeah.
Personally i'm thrilled with this decision! I'm sure i'm not alone.

After listening to feedback and collecting player data, it’s clear that our efforts to make the distribution of these faction-defining characters special - by having them behind recurring events has caused confusion on how marquee characters are released. In the future, we will be working harder to preserve the integrity of the Character Release Cadence, by ensuring that characters released via marquee events cycle through the game in a more standardized fashion, within clearly defined periods of time.


"farmable exclusively"


you see the issue was that they WERE NOT farmable exclusively in the event, they were also aveilable for money so the new players that droped some 50$ easily climb in the arena rank 1 with a 78k 4 stars talzin. If it was the same for all they would have been special but as it stands, not owning them will only punish free to players...jsut like platoons and all new characters that aren't farmable yet but buyable for money.


Edit PS I am not a f2p and neither is half of my guild, but the other half is. The issue was not the buisness aspect of the purchese but rather the fact that on my pvp shard there are guys climbing in top 10 that don't own cls OR JTR and use 4*NS team. Now to make things worse our JTR teams lose to them and we have a terrible time in PVP due to the win/lose on rey
I loved zaris meta because you couldn't lose on ofense under GK lead, just climb and done, now we have to farm troopers and gear them up just to deal with NS

I would just like to point out that in the MT wicket release plan they laid out they did say they all may go to shipments at some point.

I think it is completely fine if they change views on this topic and I dont think that the people that paid (for too much) for a single toon in a mobile game would restrain from paying for the respective toon if it would have been advertised differently. No need to freak out. There are surely people who paid a shitload of moneyz for random toons, too, knowing they go free to play eventually.

Once again the usual complain thread

A lot of people that bought this character did so thinking they were essentially buying zetas. While everyone else would be farming her shards they would get zetas. Turns out the event comes back only a single time before she can be obtained via other methods. The buyers were absolutely misled.

This is a direct quote from that update about MT.

"Defense of Dathomir event is planned to be her only farmable location afterwards."

"Shipments" is where we buy them for crystals. The plan as they stated it was that they would never be farmable outside of the monthly event, but we might some day be able to buy them out of crystal shipments. The announcement that they will be farmable through normal means is a big departure. I'm certainly happy about it though.

If advertised in the way it is now, I would never had spend crystals on Talzin.
It is a difference if you can farm/buy a toon via shipments or have something that lasts a bit longer.
As statet from CG "Defense of Dathomir event is planned to be her only farmable location afterwards."

I don’t understand why they didn’t make these events weekly. This would satisfy all, extra Zeta for those that paid and a greatly increased speed of acquiring these two units.

What happened, is that CG decided to implement this AWFUL new release model where it would take 2 years to 7* a character. The response was a lot of players said "Why even bother?" and made no effort to gear their Ewoks and NS (ESPECIALLY Ewoks). CapGasp said he was very surprised how few people were even attempting the Wicket event.
Even though it's a slap in the face to people who whale'd out for a 7* MT and Wicket, I do think it's the right decision, because that release model could not have been worse.

The idea is great to have a special event farm, the timeframe was the problem and if they communicated that the event would happen more frequently im sure more people would have made an effort to go for wicket or talzin. But 10 shards a month is an insult for the effort required especially since you have to actually gear up the ewoks

So you know what they should have done? They should have released the event weekly. Now everyone gets her 7* for free in 6 months with no energy investment, but everyone who paid for her then gets a lot of zetas. Open the packs back up again and you might even sell a lot more now that a) people realize how strong she is (remember how they thought NS weren’t that good at first) and b) they would get 8-16 zeta mats per month.
