So essentially, I see two groups of people equally spread. Those that complain they they can't complete R2 event with just EP and Vader, and those that can complete event without EP and Vader. Basically those that can complete too easily complain, and those that can't complete also complain. Did these people ever stop to think perhaps the event was perfectly in the middle of the road? I am congratulating the Devs at creating a fun, enjoyable and equally exclusive event for veterans of the game. Keep rolling out good content and please ignore those that can't see past their own perspective.

I expected to be at, and complete Tier 3, which I did.
Got 3 with 4*, my fourth is 5 shards away from 4*, but the fifth guy is no where near. So I'm not even going to bother trying.
...unless I break down and buy the 699 Empire Pack and get lucky to get enough shards for either of my two that are currently at 3*. But what's the odds of being that lucky?
The next time this rolls around (est 6 months?), I *should* be ready to complete Tier 5, maybe 6.
Started mid-FEB 2017, and not trying to reach the top.
Can I survive? Sure.
But if they would have been clear about the timeline, I could have EASILY farmed Magma to 7* within the timeframe. Now, I can't. I should have Tarkin 7*ed by the second to last day of the event, but it's pointless beyond having a good second capital ship.
I thought about it... but I bought crystals and Shoretrooper. I'll live with my gypsy 6* R2.
It's a lesson to remember to expect the best and plan for the worst... hedge bets... it's my own mistake for thinking they'd keep to their old event schedule... and miss out on the opportunity to get us to swipe.
I'll swipe for characters like Shoretrooper... not for Magma. Baze? Sure! Hoth Rebel Scout? No thanks.
I did not expect him to be so fast in the last stage. Lil runt's on robococaine.
frankly for a while i thought it might be a draw 'cause my last toon, Vader, (under EP lead) and their last toon, Chewie, were just exchanging blows and heals.... i had to get very lucky with ability block 3 consecutive times in a row so their chewie wouldn't heal before i can finish him
it was nail biting to the end. love the event, perfect difficulty that someone like me who hasn't really worked on Empire specifically, has a chance.
IMO.... they should have the event to get him to 7* and then a bonus section of the event that is actually a challenge to those of us that have fully geared characters. Like they all the rebels double health and do double damage. And when you beat that R2-D2 is automatically Gear 8.
Would make it more of a challenge. The event was over in about 5-6 minutes or something for me so it went by really fast.
I've seen what people are running to win, but I don't think not having the "right" 3 g10's should be required for any of these events. This reminds me a lot of yoda pre-rework where you really had to throw all your investments into yoda to get him 7*.
G11 TFP
G11 Shore
G11 Vader
G11 Tarkin.
That's how I beat all of them. Very easy. Probably a lot harder with less geared characters.
On main I ran Zader, Palp, TFP, RG and Shore all G11, was it easy for me, yes, but it was fun and guess what Zader worked in tier 7, his DoT remained and I got occasional TMR
It was just as fun on my 2nd account
Palp G10, Vader G11, TFP G10, RG G8 and GMT G7
It helped me that I did it on main first, as I found out that Old Ben, had forgot to bring his "If you strike me down" skill
A great event imo
Could I complain about something, yes but this is a mobile game and there's limits to what they can do
completed with ep (L g10) vader (g10) tfp (g10) rg (g9) and tarking (g7)
very average mods (tarks wasnt even full modded)
had all but tarkin standing
as someone said above target r2 first, he is insanely fast and spreads all those annoying buffs. once he down its just mopping up
G11 Palp
G11 RG
G11 TFP
G10 Tarkin
5 mins and done. I didn't even realize tm removal wasn't effective in the final tier.
G11 Zader
G11 TFP
G9 RG
G7 Tarkin
Zoomed through, with a little trouble in the final stage, but completed on first try. Just to show all G10/11 isn't needed.
TLDR-Unlocking him takes a decently varied roster and a bit of commitment, and 7*ing him either requires a deep roster of decently geared chars or a couple of outstanding empire toons. Seems balanced to me.
I made it with only one toon with gear XI, and one toon (Tarkin) with lv 70 and only gear VI (without protection). I think that the problem is in your mods.
