    And they've dropped it before palpating. He was going to be my 4th empire so I have absolutely no chance of getting him either. 8 days notice? F***ing great job CG you a***holes

    Wow... I mean really.. wow. Dude you need to seriously relax. I think we all need to take a moment and when you post this over an event you need to put the device down. Not play for a week. And go out of the house for a while.

    Gr11 Zader, Gr11 Palp. Gr11 tie pilot, Gr10 RG then its time to scrape the barrel and gear up tarkin, snow or magma. I'm convinced the 7* unlock will be super hard and need something silly like Shore and Gar Saxon but we will see, my outrage is prepared :smile:

    In 8 days so you need 6 shards per day. That's do able but you might need to do a few refresh. One refresh per day would definitely be enough and it's only 100 crystals.

    Without spending Crystals it takes aprox 15 days to get the remaining shards from the cantinanode. You can do it in 13 if you farm also the 2 hard nodes, at last it depents on your RNG and how long the Event is running.

    I don't know the circumstances of the event. However I have a maxed, Zader, Palpatine, & Shoretrooper. I also have a G10 RG & a G9 Tarkin. I don't know if that will be good enough for the event, maybe not since 2 of them are tanks. Might be too weak on dps.

    I think you'll be fine, even though I never seen the squad you'll face but two tanks, one with crit immunity and a healing, another with stun and Defense and Health Up, that's great. Since some of the crew member will be Rebels, Tarkin will inflict speed down on them, EP will damage some of them too ! I guess you'll have a 7* R2 my friend and I envy you, mine will only be 5* :'(

    My friend, have you ever heard about shutting the front door ? I suggest you try that for few days, that could only be good. This event will return, patience is something you might learn about, this way it would be beneficial for everyone. Thanks ;)

    It is an "extremely rare" event so, what do you expect?

    I ran into the same issue when I wasn't able to get EP before when it was still an extremely rare event. I had to wait like everyone else ... that's life man.

    For this one I've got my XI Vader, EP, TFP, Shore and X DT, RG and Tarkin all floating around, should be fine.

    No one is complaining about the requirements, they're more than fair. But doing it before EP and at 8 days notice is a joke. Yoda comes at 28 days notice. This is just a way to force people to spend like with Phoenix squad recently
  • Options
    I should be able to get him @5*. Possibly 6 if they provide good empire packs. Can't wait to see if we get to fight Jedi Luke and what form he'll be (rotj, bespin) or maybe farmer Luke.

    There is no best time for anything TBH. You're never going to be able to get everyone who's in a perfect place. Usually when they announce these things it obviously benefits players with more time in this game or started on Empire (or whatever faction) toons early. It's not really any different IMO than any other event. Sure, getting EP ahead of this would be timely for some people but there are so many variables at play (will everyone be able to get a 7* EP at the event? What if it's only 5* and they still can't get more than a 5* R2 etc?) it's hard to make it perfect.

    Any word on how long the event will run? I would assume a week like the Palp & Yoda events but have not heard definitively.

    It would be great if we could get information about a stormtrooper rework so I know if I should gear my 7* Tarkin or Stormtrooper

    I'm not even complaining about 7*. If got him at 5 for now would be happy. Looks like he's a must have character for top end arena and should of made him accessible than just people who have built empire only or whales.

    Can't wait for "when will the event return"

    And then in a year, when it enters the rotation "I just farmed my rebels for the EP event, and R2 entered the rotation, so now I have to wait 3!! months. Not fair, bring all at once."

    5* empire is a requirement for potency mod challenges. Honestly, if they weren't already a priority, they should have been. So that will already allow you to 5* him. Palp and Vader are both empire and two of the strongest toons in the game. TFP and RG are empire and top tier toons. That's 4 already that were worth farming for their own sake (and shoretrooper, but he's nigh impossible to farm). And you get a free 4* Tarkin for ships, in addition.

    It's not like Empire is clones, who haven't really been available for f2p for all that long, and 3 of which share the same shops. Or Phoenix, which are impossible to farm.

    Yes, if you're new(ish) to the game, you may have a hard time getting 5 7* Empire, but that would go for any faction. Just because you're new and farmed 5 rebels doesn't mean you should be able to do absolutely everything with them.

    Easy way to ensure your prepared for all of these types of events... get 5 people in each faction to 5* and a decent gear, and you will always be able to unlock the character. So maybe start now for a future possible First order or resistance one of these (i think thses factions have the best possibility of coming next for these event types)

    This is what I did after palpatine event and now I have six 7* empire toons :)

    I'm seeing a lot of despair. Do that many people really not have 5 five-star empire toons?

    What about potency mods? Nobody wanted them?

    I'm pretty sure most people at level cap will unlock R2 (at least) on the first pass, plus a good portion of higher level, new players. Everyone else will have to work toward getting him.

    How is this bad again? Did people just want to be handed R2? That's no fun ...

    [in response to the OP: Yes! I'm ready! ... almost. I have 4 7-star toons (vader, palp, tarkin, TFP) and 3 6-star toons (stormtrooper, snowtrooper, RG). Should be pretty easy to farm up the last in time--I'm going for snowtrooper in light of the incoming rework]

    It's not that I'm new, I'm a returning player from a 6 month break. None the less, these challenges are meant to be hard but just time to prep is all I'm asking.

    I have 6 7* Jedi, loads of rebels, a droid squad and a weakfish mix of sith and empire. Not to mention having started scoundrels recently to solve the credit crunch. We need time to prepare in order to prioritise. Rebels are good in aat so focused there since returning. We can't work on everything at once so we need time then we can prioritise.

    I don't think so, you need them to be at least G13.

    Hahahah maybe gear 14
