Suggestion: Include Marquees to the Journey Guide?

Greetings,
as I haven’t played for one year, I have missed all character- and ship- Marquees since Joleen Bindo to Shaak Ti. I know that this is my own fault.

But what about new players?
They never had the chance to get a first impression of certain characters.
To get the first 50 shards (saving an entire month of farming).
Etc.

CG once said that they want to make it easier for Newcomers and returning Players to catch up. This would be a first step in the right direction in my opinion.

They don’t have to be included to the journey Guide. To show up in regular intervals would be enough.

Regards.

    I think missing out on the events is compensated by the fact they are now immediately farmable for any new player.

    I dont think you should get the rewards.... but replaying the bonus mission from each could be fun

    Like CCryliS indicated, that is at least the amount of time active players had to wait before being able to farm, often longer it seems.
    Additionally, new players have the advantage of knowing what marquee toons are not worth farming with minimal research. Example, I doubt many educated new players are going to grind for Baze. That is way more beneficial than a trial run marquee event.
    I reject your reality and substitute my own.
  • Well. In German, marquees are classified as „recurring events“.
    Accordingly, it’s a mistake those events happened once only so far!

    In English it's a canopy projecting over the entrance to a theater, hotel, or other building, so you get a free one if you're staying at the game.

    Sry for not being precise. I didn’t use a German definition of marquee. In German it says „Wiederkehrendes Event“, which means recurring event.
    So they either lied , or are using the same translation mistake since the introduction of marquees. Doesn’t matter actually. They owe the German swgoh community lots of shards, as this information is totally misleading

    Marquee events are recurring.... They just don't recur with the same character.

    Also, sometimes the recurring Marquee events run concurrently with different characters. So that's a lot of fun with "cur".

    I am... The wordplay is on "cur", not "marquee". Unless you're saying "recurring" and "concurrent" have different definitions in German than English, in which case a misnomer during translation isn't really the root of the problem.
  • You have to do it with wiederkehrend

    I think he's done a pretty good job explaining that fun fact, you're responsible for your own translation there.

    Oh, my bad, I misread that as "do it with how it translated" not "do it with German".

    If there was anything playful about German, I might be able to... all I can say is "Blücher" and hope for a laugh

    Well this is an American company and not German so yea....
  • OP stop being greedy


    We had to wait months to farm those characters


    You don’t...
  • I mean... the Austrians figured it out just fine
  • About the “reoccurring“ tag: That’s already classified as a translation error by the studio.

    It‘s true that you can make some research about every character as there are many posts here discussing them (Rose e.g.) or third party websites.

    My intention never was to be greedy. Just trying to find a way to be able to compete in the game again.

    This could be an interesting way to let new players pick a starting squad. Maybe add all the marquee events to the Journey Guide but limit the rewards to 5 unlocks. After that the events can be played to learn mechanics or see how a character fits into a squad.

    There'd probably have to be a way to warn new players about unlocking characters that are on late game nodes they may not be able to reach/farm for a while.

    Let’s be even more honest, this whole game is only here to sell packs.

    Not gameplay, packs.

    I'm not opposed to this, but I don't think replaying them should give character shards. Maybe some low level gear or ability mats, or small amounts of credits. Also, since Marquees will continue to come as more characters are introduced, it would really bloat the Journey Guide in the end, which I think is a problem for the future of this idea. But, I do think it's a shame they went through all that work to build the Marquee events and no one will ever see them again, so some kind of replay option/value would be nice.

    Edit: Another option might be to transfer the Marquees into a Wicket/Talzin type event and rotate through them, I could see that being more sustainable than adding them all to the Journey Guide.
