What are your thoughts on the Bo event cadence?

CG is trying something very new with the Bo event cadence. Do you like it? Do you dislike it? Do you not care? Why do you feel that way?

For my part, specifically for Bo, I don't really care. The only way to get her in one of these early returns is to dump tons of money or crystals. One non-GL team that has inflated value because of a DC is not enough to get me to ruin my crystal stash, much less give EA money.

However, for what I fear this change (along with recent event cadence changes) implies, I am unhappy. The GI and JKC event returns were a departure from the general expectation that CG had set. The Bo reqs becoming farmable seems like a departure from established norms as well. Perhaps my feelings on this are misguided; please correct me if they are. But, whether there has been a departure from the norm or whether the norm never really existed is not my issue. My inability to have a reasonable idea of when events and characters become available makes me resentful of the system and thus less likely to dump resources into accelerating my progress. Couple that with the almost absence of CG since the release of the speeder raid, and I'm just not feeling great about the game right now (again, for me, not saying the game is dying).

  • The thing I'm most surprised about with these Bo events, is that they have not offered for-cash packs alongside (or just ahead of) them. Or the crystal gamble pack for each of the requirements.

    These strangely paced re-runs of the event can only be taken advantage of by shipment purchasing, which takes a while. I guess you can also pay additional crystals to refresh your shipments.

    If it's a "money grab" it just doesn't seem like a very well executed one.

    Personally, I don't really care. Until after the last one is farmable, it makes zero difference to my collection, or how fast I get her. I guess if it encourages spending from some people, that's good for the longevity of the game. Which is a positive for all players.

    I have been playing basically since the start but to be honest I have never really tried to track the reoccurrence of available event related toons, I only pay attention to when the prerequisites are farmable or if the toon appears to be a game changer then I invest crystals as I have done now.
    The cadence never seems to be consistent.
  • Sounds like she is not driving sales as expected. They released a cron for her hoping it would drive more to spend. They failed to realize majority of players won’t spend for a temp 3 month bonus. Those that do already have Bo unlocked.

    They can run it as often as they want. Until all the characters are farmable it's pointless
  • My thoughts/observation is:
    They are running the Bo Katan event every month for 3 months while the DC is active.
    After 3 months when DC expires everything will return to norm.
    Nobody knows what norm is anymore, all speculation.
    Maybe BK event will run every month, maybe 3-4 months or even every 180 days like GI.
    Just my 2 cents.
  • Completely irrelevant until all reqs are farmable. They can bring it back 1x/wk for all I care. When I can farm the last req, I'll pay attention to the cadence.
