CLS You are my Everest. [Merged Threads]

Yes it will return at some point. No idea when.

also f2p, cls was my also everest but I'm afraid I had to turn away from the summit. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it does not. 3 refreshes got me 6 old ben shards on friday, then a total of 8 Saturday. It was not in the cards for me. Glad it worked out for you, I'll summit that peak next time.

Until then, the First Order will hold me in a respectable place.

Some of us that have been playing for a long time put in the farming work, and deserve to be able to handle most content. Maybe players that weren't playing for very long were not meant to have every new toon that's released the first time it comes out.

For example, I didn't get Yoda to 7* until the second or third time the event came around, whichever time it was that they nerfed the difficulty, right after the lvl 85 cap occurred.

When we had tournaments, we had to choose which toons to go for; we couldn't get them all, unless we were whales.

Perhaps newer players weren't meant to have a 7* OP toon handed to them for free the first time around. Farm your rebels and be ready for rd 2. It took me around 7-8 months as a guppy spender to have enough toons maxed that I could adjust to a new meta quickly enough. Like you, I was playing catch up in pvp, and suffered through my shard of unfinished GW. Six months from now you'll have what you need to handle new events.
Just farm zQG and some Jedi, that seems to work for the non-elite on my shard quite well.

I had mentally prepped to unlock him at 6*(so useable in AAT) and that would be that. Then the bomb dropped about the extra level needed. Cue me rage farming Luke, Old Ben from 5* and St Han and Leia from 6* R2 I knew I had the toons for already. Luckily I had 10k arena tokens saved so I didn't hit that bottleneck, the only thing that could stop me was gear levels.

This is an excellent strategy once you begin to enlarge your roster. Always try and keep 10K of arena/cantina/GW/ship tokens up your sleeve in case you need to rage farm for occurrences just like this.

I had to become a dolphin to unlock him but i'm absolutely happy for achieved that.

Pay to Win. I seriously doubt EA/CG made no where near what they have made off other Legendary Characters. U have to take into account with the exception of R2 these characters are Launch toons. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this is the least amount they made off a toon release.

I know back when it was just chromium pulls to get toon and Rex was released I dropped around 250-300 USD just to unlock at 4*. But CLS I didn't spend a dime

Yes this event highly favored launch players(Day 1 Launch Myself) but all the signs where there on who to farm when it was announced.

The Devs said this would be about Luke's Journey escaping Tatooine. So I could be wrong in assuming you have seen "A New Hope" but if you had there was all the info you needed on who to grind. I informed my guild on who I thought was needed (80% are FTP) and I'm happy to say about 85% unlocked.

So if you made a choice to grind other toons just deal with it suck it up and get grinding. Quit blaming EA/CG for your mistake. This is the most anticipated toon since Launch if you really wanted him when he was released you would have done the research and grinded it out.

These whining post are rediculous when the ones who didn't unlock are just looking for someone to blame and point the finger at and say it's unfair and only whales can unlock.

I need 30 shards for Luke and 6 for Ben. The event lasts only 1 day.. I think I won't make it in time. Had I just farmed them 2 days ahead I would have made it :(
Feels bad :neutral:

Im not complaining about the CLS event, its just i grinded out a empire squad so as to finish getting R2 to 7, so here i am with lvl 85 7star zader, palp gear 11, tarkin mag trooper and RG all 85 but lower gears as i couldnt grind out the gear and shardsat same time, but all are gear8 or Better. Battled that last tier like every day atleast 10 times per day and couldnt beat more than one toon (typically Solo)before my squads is wiped clean. So no CLS for me. Guess i will attempt R2 next time and hopefully it will be before the CLS event happens again.

Finally beat the cls event tonight. Happy i was able to finally finish it. Got some furnaces i really needed to bring both leia and han up to g9 and was able to bring all of lukes abilitys to 7. That and some great rng snd i got it first try after my upgrades.

You can catch up. I played since launch. Took 7 months off and caught up. You just need to prioritize. You won't get everything they dangle in front of you, but you can get some great things that unlock more great things. In time the gap closes. I spend a little which helps, but I'm far from a whale.
