    YESSSSSSSSSS! I’m so stoked! I missed Rey the first time, but I won’t miss her this time! Thanks!

    Sure am glad I kept farming the Veterans even after the event ended last time. Let that be a lesson—procrastination pays the devil’s wages!

    Surprised there hasn’t been an update so neither event is showing in-game. Just occurred to me that this event will show with literally no notice to people not active on the forums.
    I'd guess most people would find out via their guild chat. But for those not in guilds, you make a fair point.

    People have been telling others: finish farming the vets asap with refreshes. This has become the very basic farming strategy of this game. Yet, people somehow, still believe they will get a month-long notice before the second round (always people complaining about this, like they are new to this game). Like obiwan said, you believe what you want to believe.[/quote]

    People also said farm Sith Assassin and Sith Trooper and farm this and farm that. There are only so many things that we can farm before we start missing something.

    Pretty sure most guilds use a wall of JTR for TW. She is a great lead for TB. She still has a place in arena....

    Yeah you are right, only place anyone needs her or would care to use her is the Sith Raid. I mean besides the fact that she can auto p3 and go into p4 of HAAT, but that's old news that no one cares about.

    Most guilds don't have more than a few. It's only the top guilds, many with big spenders, who have walls of JTR.

    Nah, there is a pop up in game. Coincidentally it also confirms the release is times for the digital release, and not the raid.
  • I have Rey Scavenger 7*, but thats it for 7*. Haven't touched veteran han and chewie after unlocking them, have Finn 4* and dont have BB8 at all. FO team is phasma 7*, fotp 5*, FOO 4*, FOST 3*, Kylo 5*. Does unmasked kylo count for bb8 or do i need the original 5 characters that everyone used when the event came? That way i wouldnt have to get FOST. Id like to clarify that when im farming these characters, im using all of my energy on shards, not gear. As of now I dont have an arena team that will be solid when people start getting traya, so im kind of in a bad spot. Help appreciated

    From my undestanding @nesc9999 any First Order team will serve.

    You could maybe unlock bb8 (unlocks at 5*) but you need the vets at 7* to unlock JTR. And that grind is long and I believe from the above impossible jn time. But you can always start and be ready for next time? That is what I am doing ...

  • 1. Have the event last the entire month.
    2. Triple drop on Catina on 8-F and 8-G bc double just still isn’t worth it.
    3. 40 zetas for everyone

    This should make for there complete screw ups.

    What were the screw ups:
    1. Sith raid out too soon
    2. Bugs in phases and 1 squad dominance result in raid nerfs to characters when they should reworked the raid mechanics instead to help other squads work out better or equivalent to JtR resis squads.
    3. Broken to one worthiness sqaud for the new raid (worth repeating)
    4. Last minute notice for JtR in response to there sith raid screws ups

    Just because that's what the pop up says, doesn't mean that's the real reason. ;)

    About a week ago I posted that she should be back for the physical release, which is in 2 weeks. They just said that she's back for the digital. Is there anyway she can be back for both? Please?

    Bb8 and JTR just in time to be given away shortly after a massive new raid deemed failed and this is the only toon capable of being effective ? What's next? 3 toons at 20 cantina energy for next event?
    Edit: Accept your mistake and take the L, do not deflect it on another panic spend to try to scavenge the situation...

    I just got an in game pop up for it
  • I have been playing the game for three months. I have just got Finn and only have unlocked Vet Chewie and have Vet Han at 20/25 in shards. I can't afford the two possibly three vault of crystal to seven star everyone for the event and have just now with joining the message board. And learning about all the strategy guides and Youtube Game changers have a got a grasp on what is needed. I am more interested in grabbing CLS next time he comes around as well as Thrawn. I do not have BB-8 and so First Order, Phoenix, OT, and Resistence have been my priority for MODS and being prepared for the Summer and Fall/Holiday season at the end of the year. I am about 3000ish and 300ish in my shard in both PVP and Ship arena. So my crystal production is pretty grim right now and I have used what little disposable income I have on getting packs which I have learned isn't always the wisest thing to do learning the hard way. I am bummed out that I won't be able to get Rey this time around honestly but I am working on unlocking Old Ben and boost up Leia, STH, and building up Empire for R2.

  • Bb8 event and JTR in the same week? Why? Tw legendary events for the same time.... I’m sure I’m not alone when I say most people were expecting legendary events to be spaced out and depending on that for farming shards. 60 days ago was JTR and most of us learned of the vet requirements so we started farming them. 60 days to farm two chars to 7*. Many I know have been farming like crazy to be ready for JTR and assumed we had time since BB8 event hasn’t even arrived. Me personally was hoping to gauge how much time I had to finish farming by when the BB8 event showed up... but nope. Both here at the same time. Really disappointing and irritating to say the least. My opinion probably doesn’t matter much, but running two legendary events, one of which is a prerequisite to the other is crappy.

    Agreed JRT shouldn't come out for at least another 2 months since she's like CLS. Between farming shards and gear it took many people the 5 months to prepare for cls return and only 65 for JRT. It wouldn't be that bad but the drop rate on vets are horrible out of 144 energy you'd be lucky to get 2 shards. FIX THE DROP RATE.

    It's on the calendar they're running at the same time
  • It was posted in upcoming events section. Both events are scheduled together March 15th-March 21st. I think the whole community assumed the bb8 event would come first then the JTR event a month later. I think it’s been like maybe 3 months since the last JTR event. That was way quicker than anyone expected and I have no idea why the devs would schedule two legendary events together in the same week. It’s irritating to say the least. I’m very disappointed. I’m about 80 shards shy of finishing vet chewie. The drop rates were absolutely mental... it’s like 2 shards a day for these toons some days. Complete rubbish.
  • The drop rate is proved again and again to be 33%. Use cold numbers instead of feelings
  • Yes. On paper that would be fine. But in real life, today, I used 300 energy and got 3 shards. That’s not 33% is it?
  • Daily the amount will vary, it's not a 33% drop every single refresh,

    It's only one legendary event that is running, not two.

    And this is most likely a bonus run due to the movie release, odds are the Hero journey char will return on the expected timeline, in another 50~ days.

    That's now how probability works...if you flip 2 coins and both end up heads, do you then conclude that the chance to get heads is 100%? Over time, the average of the drop rate will be 33%. The most times you run it, the closer to 33% it gets.

    Ok, look: I don't know if you guys are new around here, are ****, or just forgot, but basically any time a raid has been added, people struggle. It may come as a shock, but there are other tiers than heroic and t6, and they aren't added just for lowered level guilds, they're added for the player base to learn how the darn thing works before we mindlessly throw ourselves at what the devs have said was going to be one on if not the most challenging battles in all of SWGOH.
    Speaking of the devs, give them some kitten credit people. They worked on this for a year, and half the time was just spend on securing the legal rights with Lucasfilm to be able to use KOTOR stuff. So consider this: how would you feel if you spent a whole year of work on a puzzle of some sort, with the goal of making it extremely difficult to solve, but inevitably it will be solved by someone, not after several months to a year of work on the solvers part. Now imagine a bunch of kittens decide to ruin the creative experience for everyone by using 1 **** tactic to beat it instantly the day after you release the puzzle to the public. How would you feel? Probably pretty ****, and maybe even a little kitten. Think what you say people. Triea will be unlocked, but enjoy what we have now. Also screw Rex for being the only relevant counter toon since the Cretaceous period.

    There is so much wrong with this post I don't know where to start.

    Instead I'll just laugh that it was posted/merged into the wrong thread.
    What's needed to beat this event gearwise? I have:
    • zeta Finn at GXI.2, speed 197;
    • BB-8 at GXI.4, speed 246;
    • Thievin' Rey at GXI.0, speed 206;
    • Crusty Han at GVII.5, speed 169;
    • Distinguished Chewi at GVII.5, speed 107.
    I'm hoping the kids carry the old moochers. Does this seem alright?

    Likewise. Han and Chewie are both g8 thougg so I'm confident I should get there with Finn/BB both G11 and Rey G10.

  • Its a game. Play or dont play. That is your choice
  • Do you think that there will be a Vet-package in the store to buy ~80 shards?
  • Double drops? Keep everyone happy?
