The 5-star Era milestone is smoke and mirrors

I want to share feedback on the Era Level material economy, based on a full investment across the entire Era. My goal for this Era was to bring the 5 core Era characters as well as the Legendary ...

Firstly, it's not just one 5900 crystal pack. It's one 5900 pack plus one 1299 pack — IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH – often more.

Secondly, having 8k crystals every two weeks just to fully upgrade a Marquee character is already a challenge on its own, on top of using crystals for Conquest/Cantina energy refresh, and everything else. Expecting players to also cover pack costs on top of that isn't reasonable without results.

Thirdly, how does it make any sense that a player who spent over 40k crystals across the Era ends up at the exact same level as a player who spent 0?

Lastly, how can you blame ME for making an "incorrect assumption" when that's exactly what the system appeared to communicate — especially when previous Eras never let anyone notice this issue in the first place, simply because they were all bugged?

Completely agree. I have purchased the 12 card pull for each toon and I'm going to end up with two of them not even g12 because I assumed that 110 for every toon would be achievable if you got them to six star after their weeks were over.

As for luck in the pulls, even if you get all 7 shard pulls, you are one shard short of 6* by the end of the week. So you have to dodge the 5 shard pulls and luck out with at least one over 7.

The complete communication blackout makes it even more infuriating. What also really sucks is I have Snow stuck at level 106, preventing me from getting Rotta to 6 star. If I had known about the lack of material, I certainly wouldn't have taken several of the other toons to 110. Even if I buy packs with crystals, it will take 12 to 13 packs at 1099 a pop to get the missing mk6 besh material that I need to get Snow to 110.

Completely horrible change and a truly greedy screw job by CG/EA this time around.
