There's a new tier on the ship challenges FYI anyone who didn't notice. I sure didn't

Edit: only the ability mat challenge has a new tier not the training droid or credit challenges

    Noticed that by chance. I think they announced it with the post about ship omegas.
  • Wow, that sucks! Definitely simmed for the lower tier!!
  • I did not noticed it. I clicked on "Multi-Sim" as usual and got simmed the highest tier with 3 stars. There was no notification that a higher tier is available.
    That is sad programmed by CG.
  • Pretty poor stuff from CG.

    I've read and re-read the patch notes confirming Ships 2.0 and there's no mention of a new tier on the ship challenges. Extremely annoying as I'd already multi-simmed the challenge before noticing it, along with many other players I imagine.

    Indeed, we should no longer be able to "multi-sim highest tier" in this case -.-

    Gotta read them patch notes. TBH though I probably can't beat the new tier ;)

    Except for where they mention " The Ship Ability Materials Challenge has been expanded to include a new tier where players can earn new rewards."

    Don't worry, it's super easy...

    1) You can use any ship for this tier.
    2) Only three starting defenders (Plo Koon, Jedi Consular, 5s)
    3) Endurance seems to only use its basic.

    If you beat t3, you'll do this with your eyes closed.

    Yeah, easily did 3☆, and now back to sim
  • great if you have a 6* executrix. if your fleet is light side dominant as mine is, you've just been sucker punched.
  • The multi sim should be greyed out with the introduction of the new tier. It's not, and now literally thousands of players have missed their first stab at the new tier.

    Huh. I guess I never noticed that multisim was available on days with only one challenge. I've always used the individual sim down below on those days, so I noticed the new tier.

    Yep they just batch added it for every day when it was added. I was using it to save one (two?) click. ;)

    I'm guessing this update isnt new player friendly. I just leveled to 60 right after the update, im introduced to the ship... those challenges and ability farm are impossible. They 1 shot my ships and have massive amount of hp. Guess it's meant for those with 7 stars crew with g8+ gear. Even tho it has a 1 star requirement and level 60.

    Made me sad, now i cant complete my dailies anymore since it requires to finish 1 ship challenge. It'll take me months to gear and star up all those ships. Could barely sustain my main phoenix squad crew as it was.

    Eh? You can use light side ships in t4 challenges.

    Unless you’re saying you can’t get past t5 Executrix? In which case... I mean, why? It’s easy. And it’s been around forever. You can easily focus on light side ships and still get it done easily enough.

  • i don't have enough qualified dark side ships to attempt 6* executrix challenge, no matter how easy it may be. my fleet was republic so i never had any reason to go beyond 5* for executrix. hence my screwed-ness at the moment.

    It would definitely be more friendly to the player if multisim warned you if the highest tier to be simmed wasn't the highest tier available to be played.

  • It says highest tier available, and you can’t sim a tier unless it’s three star. Nowhere does it say highest tier unlocked

    I absolutely did not notice. While I kind wish some kind of notice was shared with us (cough cough ... @CG_SBCrumb - this kind of thing.) @Boba_The_Fetter , you are officially my Memorial Day hero. *bows*

    edit: actually the men and woman who fight for our country are the real heroes, but still, thanks!

    *Your country,
    Haha no problem.
    It's actually just the ability mats challenge not the credit or training droids challenges

    I've mentioned this before. It's a major oversight by CG. I was regularly getting 2 stars on the Tier 2 ability materials challenge, now I am getting absolutely obliterated...I can't even destroy one ship. New players are getting royally screwed by them jacking up the difficulty on basic daily challenges.
  • It says highest tier available, and you can’t sim a tier unless it’s three star. Nowhere does it say highest tier unlocked

    I don't think that's the case - multisim didn't open up for me on the dailies until I had 3* the last tier, which didn't open until 84. Prior to that, say at 82, I couldn't multisim at all.

    So this does seem to be an oversight.

    Actually I believe this is a bug. From the 02/28/2018 QOL update:

    Multi-Sim Ship Challenges:
    A Multi-Sim button is now available in Ship Challenges once 3 stars has been reached in the final tier of Ship Building Materials, Ship Enhancement Droids, and Ship Ability Materials.

    In my opinion, adding a new final tier changes whether you can multisim that challenge. We shouldn’t have been able to multisim at all.
