The cadence of Revans event is unclear

I want to call the community´s attention here for one big thing I´m very certain about: The cadence of Revans event is absolutely unclear!

Their wording is a bit malicious if we read closely. Revan is obviously not a legendary and its NOT a "Heroes Journey" - They call it "Ancient Journey of Redemption" - And thats the point where we need to be very careful. There is NO word officially stating that its a HJ, they dont call it "Heroes Journey" one time. Therefore this event is not bound to any cadences they released previously.
We actually dont know when the event comes back and they did that on purpose - Could be 2 months, could be 6 months, could be a year!

Because we have cadences for the other types of events, we should have the right to have one for Revans too, as the farms for the OR are very difficult, time consuming and need to be planned ahead.

The Developers lack of communication with Revans event led to dolphins and whales who wasted huge amounts of recources in the last 1 1/2 months for the OR without basically getting anything in the end (other than the opportunity to spend money massively on top of that) - The community must not let this situation getting even worse.

    You make Chewbacca require G12+ and Revan only G9+, next legendary alike event?


    I think Chewbacca was only G12 because it used old characters most people already had.
  • There is no concrete pattern to events that unlock characters. JTR was "expected" a month ago or so for example based on prior cadence.

    The only fairly firm cadence we have is for Marquee-Shipment-Farm timing.

    Oh, and you aren't going to get a concrete return date either. JTR returned first time around without any warning at all, as did CLS. Thrawn was easier to predict as there were fewer events then. BB8 and R2 both returned with the HJ they were required for (warning for Chewbacca there!).

    Be annoyed at CG for the 2 events close together and the time gap for farming, but don't he annoyed at them for not doing something they have never done, which is publish event dates ahead of time.

    The paranoia is strong with the OP.

    Just farm them until you meet the requirements and eventually it will come back and you'll be prepared. It's really that simple.


    Tell me, why should anyone listen advices about getting revan next time from someone who bought revan?

    It's very clear
    Hero = 3mobths
    legendary = 6 months
    And guess what, their New "Ancient" event = 1 year
    Do you really think EA is going to inform us ? Information doesn't fit with Panic farm...

    It's "common sense" and how every event works. If you don't get something the first time and really are interested in it, stick to the requirements (you'll know exactly what you need) until you have them and then go about other areas of the game. Once the event returns you'll be prepared.

    You can believe me, I very well know that. I farm the OR, thats it. But this is not about me wanting to know if this event will come back or not. I know it will.

    This is about the Devs. They took so long to finally communicate properly with the community, establishing rules we were happy to hear about. Now they create a new event, but they dont say what exactly this is! No previous rules apply to it, enabling them to do crazy stuff they´ve done in the past (e.g. 8 months return duration - Palpatine) and I wanted to make that clear to people. Does it actually work like every Event? We dont know. They found a sneaky way to not communicate this out of financial purposes (what we dont know will surprise us = panic farm) and I dont agree with it. They communicated so well, now its going down the drain again.

    To call that to players attention was my intention here.

    ... If I don’t get Revan this time the OR characters will still be my priority until they are all 7 stars and gear 9. If the event comes back in 3 months I will be ready. If the event comes back in 6 months I will of course still be ready.


    This. So much this.
