How many factions are we going to get basic training for? I thought it would be done with just rebels and Empire but now FO just started for me. I’m certainly not complaining, my shard shop bank is getting wealthy. Not to mention the easy 16 shoretrooper shards I got for the Empire quests.I imagine Resistance will have theirs, too. Will Nightsisters? Bounty Hunters? Clones? I’m always willing to have quests for shards, I’m just curious.

I don't have half the rebel characters for CLS yet so it was good to see their kits & synergy in action. Enjoyed figuring it out after getting wasted completely on my first attempt at T3.I have all the Empire characters from the training except Thrawn. So that in a way was nice. But that's it...

Fingers crossed for Rose and Holdo with the Resistance event. Ooph are they a foreverfarm....

I want to convert them to shard shop currency now. And maybe feed her to the Rancor permanently.

You might not like the character in the movie, but she's useful in-game.

I actually liked Rose in the movie from the get go.
I don't get the hate she's getting.

Same.

I didn't have a problem with the Rose character specifically, I just hated the whole Finn/Poe/Rose video game side-quest storyline they plugged into the movie for no reason.

The fact that there is no Jedi training event and they are a main faction encourages me that there will be a rework this year.

The Empire one did no benefit for me. All TFP and RG shards. Have both at 7*. Would have loved some Shore shards...

I got 24 shore shards total, I'd just 7* him the day before I unlocked Empire training.

Every hero in my Empire, Rebel, FO & resistance is 7* on my account now so I feel your frustration, but hey... it's all going to shard shop & gear so it's no loss really. You can be mad but you still getting something for nothing.

I'm curious if there's gonna be more training events like these. I am enjoying them and would like to see more! <3

I got some Holdo shards in the Resistance event. I am newer and don't have Rey or Finn 7* like a lot of older players so these training events have helped me get many characters within these factions starred up. I got to finally 7* Vader, get shards for Shoretrooper. I am loving these events.

same. why is everyone not receiving the same rewards? seems a little unfair people will get shards they need and others shards they dont want cause already 7*.

Because the basic trainings are mainly for new(er) players, not long-timers

Right on, glad to hear it!

I picked up 8 Roses with t1 of the Resistance event, so already I'm very happy. I'd been happy with just getting shard shop currency this whole time, but those 8 Roses are roughly 3 days of farming saved!
