With our next update towards the end of the month we will be introducing a "brother" event to Credit Heist focused on acquiring Training Droids. The Event will be called "Training Droid Smuggling" and like the Heist will require a team of scoundrels. Droid Smuggling will have a similar but not identical schedule to Credit Heist (15 hours timer, appears randomly). The update after that, I will be removing the droid event that costs energy (since it is used in the tutorial, it's not super simple to just "turn it off"). This event will have tiers at 30, 50, 70, & 80 with rewards as follows: T1 (30): 10-22 training droids, 1 mk1 ability material T2 (50): 10-22 training droids (higher rarity then T1), chance at either mk 1 or mk 2 ability material T3 (70): 10-22 training droids (higher rarity then T2), chance at either mk 1, mk 2, or mk 3 ability material T4 (80): 10-22 training droids (higher rarity then T3), chance at either mk 1, mk 2, mk 3, or Omega ability materialMy question to all of you is: given the rewards listed, and the prerequisites (scoundrels) would you participate in this regularly?

Um yes Cap you have seen my threads, this is a step in the right direction. Curious as to why Scoundrels again, wouldn't it make sense to give it to another faction although i can see some of the community hating it. I think giving another faction a use to keep up would be good. Plus too much focus around Rebels and Scoundrels of late.------------------------------------------------------------------------Name - Jedi Reflex Training Map set - Jedi training groundsFaction - JediMission - TrainingEnemies - Dueling apprentices and masters------------------------------------------------------------------------To add alot of us did Yoda event way back when so they are just sitting around. Shame you can't do the Yoda event again just for the credits..... as well the new Emperor event when that makes a return....*wink wink*.------------------------------------------------------------------------Don't random the rewards especially omegas , we are just over it lol (lots... will hate on it). Ability Mat VersionT1 (30): 15 training droids, 1 mk 1 ability materialT2 (50): 20 training droids , 2 mk 2 ability materialT3 (70): 25 training droids , 3 mk 3 ability materialT4 (80): 30 training droids , 1 Omega ability materialCredit VersionT1 (30): 15 training droids, 25kT2 (50): 20 training droids , 50k T3 (70): 25 training droids , 75kT4 (80): 30 training droids , 100k

Definitely this is a step in the right direction. Making omegas a certainty will definitely start to put weight behind having a scoundrel team to be able to complete the event. If it is ~6-10 days, and only obtainable at the highest tier, this is reasonable increase to omega farm rates.How many times would you be able to do each tier? Once? If so, omega needs to be a certainty, maybe you can randomize the quantity gained, 1-2 or 1-3?

Omegas will not be a guarantee from this event. It's still being decided if it will even offer them. This is NOT an ability material event, it's for training droids. Ability materials were added because I was concerned training droids by themselves weren't enticing to most people. Omega Battles are the event with a guarantee to earn those. The event uses Scoundrels to reward people's investment in them, so they're not "just" used in Credit Heist. With the advent of this event, Scoundrels will have a strong identity as the faction used to farm progression currencies.

RNG rewards are really annoying us especially if it will be omega mats...I think thats a bad way of looking at it man.. the scoundrel event rewards people that finish a scoundrel team. They also have a good use for a GW team and Raiding. I still think Jedi are a better choice Cap.

Yes.. it is a "Free event" people are already leveling Scoundrels for the credit heist so that is a Win\Win and puts no further burden on anybody.I won't complain about the randomness because "free event" :|

Great job on the new scoundrel events and the other small details in this latest update! The addition of IG-88 and STH are sure going to help a lot of people with this event. I have both of those characters maxed out, gear 8 Cad Bane, and an under geared/leveled Lando and Boba and was able to clear the highest tier with relative ease. It looks to be that the general population is happy with this and these updates are moving in the right direction.

The only minor downside that some are expressing are the fact that not everyone has scoundrels but the characters I've mentioned above (besides Boba) are great characters and easy to get. Other thing that I see some complaining about is the whole RNG aspect of the credits dropping. Lastly, the only one I somewhat agree with, are the gear that are dropped in this event. The gear that drops is gear that I have several hundred pieces of and there are other types of purple gear that are more scarce.

Overall, most of the concerns people have for this new event I think are frivolous. This month has been an amazing month in terms of updates and I feel the energy moving in this game again. Keep up the great work!

The feedback so far is incredibly positive around this event. I wonder whether there could be an achievement for 3 starring the hardest tier? Right now there as long as you get through it you get the same chances at rewards.

Yes. I have always thought this. I love that some events drop gear, but it is typically gear that many have stockpiled. That would be my main suggestion for any event dropping gear, should be purple gear that you need 20-50 of that is not dropped in challenges even if it is only a couple pieces it make the rewards just better.
