Ultimate Journey Event Suggestion/Complaint

The Jabba one seems pretty effortless to me. It's the SLKR vs. Rey one that seems like a toss up.

SLKR vs Rey is actually easy. Check out bitdynasty's video. Rey is dead in 6 moves then kill the adds.

I welcome the OP's suggestion of making it simmable.

Heavy agree, please make them simmable.

Yes! Maybe a reasonable number considering it's a monthly event? Thank you for responding

Ideally, it'd be simmable right away after 3 stars like everything else, especially if that's simpler to implement. But I'd happily accept something like 5-10 wins as a condition... I agree with The200GemsJohn, 50 is WAY too high for a monthly event.

i don't really see the point. 1-3 stars, you only get one attempt, same rewards. You can refresh, but its a new match each time.
you only have to pay for refreshes, so the amount of crystals being spent is the same whether you sim or not. there's no monetary loss.

after the 3 star puzzle is cracked, the only effect the sim would yield is happy players. those who want to play, still can.

you may be banking on people that don't normally refresh will pay to refresh to speed up the achievement of a sim. i can't imagine a significant amount of people would do that. conversely, the sim ability may actually cause the people who dont refresh to do so because they wont frustrated by doing it over and over. this would generate revenue via crystal purchases.

imho

Agree on all points here.

If I'm frustrated with the event, or pressed for time, I'm less likely to refresh. If I can sim it, it's much easier to hit that refresh button.

@CG_Tusken_Meathead

I was going to suggest X victories before simming even before you said anything!

I would normally be fully on board with 12 or 20, some significant number, but given that it's only a monthly event that seems needlessly long. Anything from 5 to 12 would be within the realm of reason from my point of view. I mean, I'd prefer 6. I think that's about perfect, but I understand that CG has its own motivations and goals so while I wouldn't prefer doing it for a whole year before simming, I wouldn't complain if I knew there was an end in sight.

I think from a game balance point of view the idea of waiting longer would be to really stress that Omicrons are something you have to work hard for.

The idea of making it shorter is that once you've proven you can beat it repeatedly and that the first wasn't a fluke, then the player has established that they're going to earn the rewards anyway, so gating them isn't productive and the only reason to replay the thing is if it's still fun. I figure after 3-5 times it's no longer new and interesting, so that's how I came up with 5 as a number where the vast majority of players would consider it no longer fresh, but it's not quite old enough that you've started annoying everyone.

I get that Omicrons should be an effort to acquire, and I'm willing to do this thing by hand for a while, but ultimately it does need to transition to simmable, so better to discuss it with the team and make the plan sooner rather than later.

Yeah not being able to sim ANY of the events after you 3 star is frustrating for sure. UJE comes around and I do what I can but most of the time I never get through them all. If you can't sim something you need to keep it around for more than 24 hrs at the least. All the repetitive stuff has me playing less and less. I worked hard, had to read up, swap mods around to get 3 stars, shouldn't have to do it every month. Plus the PG trials today which are simmable thankfully but still can't get through the Tie Int event. I just gave up on it. Overpowered is an understatement.

I auto all of them but SLKR and Rey.

I can't see a down side to having them simable, but I'm with LordDirt on this one - None of them really seem particularly hard. The SLKR vs Rey matchup is the only one I ever have to do more than once, and the last two events have been three attempts max for me even on that one.
