    Don't most events offer some amount of exp?
  • Nah, the marquee before also give same xp reward for players below lvl 85 (or 80?)
  • there was an update a little while back that added XP to the marquee events
  • off topic. Marquee events only unlock char at like 3* right? Then the bundle comes out and you have to pay??

    its the legendary events that you unlock at 7*??
  • correct, marquee events usually result in a 2-3* character, legendary/mythic events give 7* and usually require 7* to get there

    Sometimes *2, sometimes *3. Legend said *2 for unnamed char, *3 for named char. But it's not consistent. Yea after that u buy the bunde if u want upgrade them.

    Nope it's different. But sometimes marquee events char needed for legedary event *7

    So you CAN change stuff mid TB even though you guys said you couldn’t

    “Hiya Holotable Heroes
    We recently pushed a Hotfix! For details on what's being addressed for 2/13, please see below:

    Shadow of Malachor Arriving Early
    The power of the dark side simply cannot wait. The Sith Marauder Marquee event, "Shadow of Malachor", is being pushed up ahead of schedule.
    "Shadow of Malachor" will launch at midnight tonight ( 2/13 UTC time).
    The associated bundle and pack will also be released alongside the event.
    The Sith Marauder can potentially be in Dark Side Territory Battle platoons phases 4-6[\b]”

    @CG_Kozispoon tsk tsk

    It wasn't a change mid-TB. They moved up the event because Marauder was already slated to be in the platoons.

  • i dont usually but char packs but may end up buying Marauder one. lol

    Which I don't understand why they don't take their time and release more iconic characters through legendary/mythic events. I get characters like Sith Marauder and Nightsister Zombie, but not for characters like Mother Talzin or...well she's the only new iconic Dark Side character worthy of a legendary event. But still, when people actually did the math of when they'll get her to full 7 stars, it caused such an outage that they just slapped her into the stores and are making her farmable. Should've been a mythic event.

    fair enough, though I meant you need 7* to get the legendary character to 7*
  • wow to bring an event early and require said character to be put in platoons.. I wonder if they are losing money and need to recoup some loses?

    They've had marquees be required during platoons before just after release. They just put this one in the game too early, and are pushing it forward so those willing can complete them instead of making everyone suffer.

    Now if you're upset about marquees being ncessary for TB before they're farmable... fair enough but they gotta make that mulah somehow
  • I am done buying marquee characters. There's no point in buying them because I want them for TB, and I end up having to sacrifice them to platoons rather than fighting with them. $300 saved for me. Thanks CG.
  • I bought one pack of Ashoka fulcrum and got 5 shards. I learned my lesson and that has been the only money conned out of me for a marquee character. They just ride the bench for the rest of the year

    which is exactly why im hesitant tbh. I too bought a marquee once and got 5.... which is why i usually dont buy the packs...
  • Is it just me or is it fishy that this event was miraculously moved forward? It makes me think CG has something else up their sleeves for this weekend. Or am I the only one that thinks that?
  • Other than making money from people wanting to fill platoons. No.

    No, it's clear why. Marauder will be required for platoons in the currently running DS:TB. It's already been admitted by CG in another thread thanks to @scuba and his hard work digging up the truth.

    I understand that it’ll be used for TB but I can’t help but think there’s another reason since there’s now an entire weekend gap in the February schedule. Could be wrong though.

    EDIT: Never mind. Forgot Places of Power was taking place over the weekend

    How funny would it have been when they required an unreleased character for a platoon, though? I've come to expect these kinds of errors.
  • These events get you, sadly, a 2* toon most of the time now. I've gotten it in my head these events are fun, pointless endeavours and I don't consider a toon to have been actually released until it's farmable. Marquee, shipments, chromiums, I just don't even give them a second thought these days.

    Hiya Holotable Heroes

    BUGS
    • Sith Marauder's Special Ability "Victory Through Power" now has a cooldown of 3 instead of 4

    The very announcement mentions the toon is in platoons and no intent to hide that, which is upfront which people have been asking for , irrespective of your feeling on platoon having new toons each release.

    We have had several prior posts in feedback and understand the range of emotions on this feature usage.

  • This deal is getting worse all the time.
  • Play casual or competitive. You aren't forced to upgrade a toon unless you make the choice. Just enjoy the content for what it is.
  • Sorry. That response was written today at COB. The Marauder required in DSTB was uncovered by 3rd party scan mod at launch of DSTB and brought forth to the community.

    How everyone deals with it is their choice. I will continue to play.
  • I will continue to play. I will continue to move to F2P as this is not a bad move to put him in platoons but we won't have much time to decide good toon or not. And we don't have a buyers remorse period.
  • The reason they moved the event up is because Marauder has the potential to be in platoons. Since they put him in the character screen, TB programming out him into the list. However, since nobody could get him before the marquee started, that's basically sing that you could end up unable to fill platoons. As the devs mentioned on multiple occasions in the past, one a TB starts, they can't change the course of the current one.

    As someone who's strictly F2P, I hate the fact that the is one toon I won't be able to get in time. But there devs did the best they could without hurting the release structure to give people who want the chance. Vent all you want, it doesn't change the facts.
