@Shadowscream i agree if that’s the case then fine, but in any previous event, has the boss toon reflected the player obtainable version? Or is it as I’m fairly sure I’ve read before, event toons are specific to events.
In which case, why has the event gas obtained the same change as the player obtainable gas?
My other issue is that people who got gas previously had a ‘easier’ time of it than currently, due to a change, that reasonably wouldn’t have been expected in the event.
Kyno so your saying it’s ok that the event has changed since last time?
CG_SBCrumb can we have a comment on this please? Disadvantage coded into the game for people trying to unlock this time around? Is that an official policy now?
My comment is based on the fact that it is not a bug or a change to his kit. This does have an effect on the event, but it is hard to tell how broad this is or how much it effect the difference from recommended to actual.
As stated above changes of this nature have always changed how each round of unlocks are, some or most updates and changes to the game make them easier, this one did not. But many players are still showing success, and we do not have all the numbers.

Always? I have yet to play an event in the game where a reworked/change/bug/correction affects the ‘boss’ toon in the event. *edit* apart from the malak event where it all went wonky

Maybe I’m just confused and stupid..
The changes I am referring to are changes to mechanics not kits (reworks). As stated they changes TDs and we saw an effect in an event, here they changed something about the order of operations to prevent crashes in the Sith raid, and we see those changes here.
They have done reworks on characters and it doesnt bleed into events.
Those are 2 different sets of changes. Sorry for the confusion.

This event was already heavily RNG dependent throughout. P1 and P3 were relatively easy. P2 was a slog but was less RNG than P4. The last wave is incredibly RNG dependent. I’m literally closing in on close to 1,000 attempts (yes I’ve kept a tally...i have no shame). I came close once last time because of perfect RNG but my droideka wasn’t modded with enough offense and was only G12. Last attempt my team was G12+ AV, R2 B2, and Droideka, B1 and magna G12. My gear underwhelming.
This time I’m running the same AV, but R4 B2, R4 B1, R3 Droideka and G12+ magna all modded properly per guides and still I can only kill 5’s before I get slaughtered. Hours and hours spent on an event is not fun. Pushing these toons to higher gears and better mods only to face greater difficulty isn’t ok. The devs need to address this as this is an unfair disadvantage for those who either couldn’t or waited to unlock GAS. That extra attack has immense ripple effects for the rest of the battle

@Kyno
So, my point is valid then, the event gas, shouldn’t change regardless of any changes to the player gas, that are made. The same as in any other event that occurs. Yet in this case it has.
If this to be the normal practice going forwards, perhaps a dev can comment on this? As @Ravens1113 has pointed out, raising toons to higher and higher gear levels to actually fail to get as far as last time, can’t be the intended outcome surely?
Perhaps you could message mr crumb directly as he is conspicuous in his lack of comment to any of the player base, he may respond to yourself.

@Gifafi i personally have spent nearly 10 hours trying today to clear p4, of around 25-30 mins each hour (working from home, waiting for reports to run) at around 2mins max per attempt, average obviously, so at least 150 attempts over the 5 hours of playing time. I know I’ve had to charge my phone 7 times so far today

Again, the changes made were to fix a bug in a different section of the game, not a direct change to his kit or the event.
They have made other changes to things that have made events easier/harder. This is no different. This is not a change moving forward, but something that has happened before.

So you mean to tell me with how RNG dependent this thing is, over a period of 3.5 days that it’s impossible to play this event that often? Wow...
Most the people in my guild that are unlocking have far less gear than the guy saying he’s had 1000 attempts. Most took a few attempts though e.g. 3 to 20 attempts or so 🤷♂️
If you are dying 1000 times then maybe it’s a strat/mod issue?

Av is r6, magna is r2, b1 is r5 droideka is g12, 2 of the left pieces, one of the right, b2 is g12 +2.. mods I’ve tried fast droideka, slow droideka, arena mods all over the ship on different ones.. it’s all a joy.
Strategy is to kneel gas, 5s then echo then rex then arc.. only use aoe if magna is taunting, otherwise basics, best I’ve done so far (consistently) is 5s, echo and arc dead then gas stands up and beasts me..
Feel free to check out my gg and make any suggestions

Unlikely /= impossible
Also the event hasn't been open for 3.5 days.
It’s been through 3 times. First pass I didn’t have shak ti or ETA ready. Second attempt I got to P4 on day one and tried every day till the event closed. 3 days. It’s been open half a day this pass. 3.5 days.

People here talking about phase 4, and I’m still stuck on phase 2 with this
Padme relic makes a HUGE difference. If you can relic her do it. Worth it
I can’t right now iirc. Don’t have enough gear. Everyone kept saying Ashoka is the one that makes the difference (after GK of course). What do I do now? I’m already at 2 relic toons for this phase of the event.

Yes and changes have both benefited and hurt players through changes. You’re dancing around my main point that the event shouldn’t change. This time GAS is harder due to the change in how his counter works.
Think back to GMY. People slogged through it and then it was tuned to almost nothing on a separate pass. Was that fair to those that had to go through constant waves and a monster GMY? No.
The overall point is that once an event is released it should remain unchanged unless altered in the first pass. They can make an event’s mechanics unique to the event rather than what’s available to us. See B1 in assault battles

Again, they didnt change the event. That's the point that you are trying to make and others have called a bug. It is not a bug and the event was not changed. They made changes to mechanics in battle, which does have an effect here, much like other changes they have made to the game. The current state of GAS is aligned with his kit.
If you want all events to "not change" then shouldnt the toons you are able to use be locked in once an event is released?

I just went through the even 97 times in 2 hours. So you mean to tell me that trying 16 hours out of a possible 84 hours couldn’t likely yield close to a thousand attempts depending on how fast the attempts go? Some being an immediate retreat due to dazes, stuns, turn order of the enemy, abilities used, assists and uniques activating?
GC’s have spent several hours in previous events with hundreds of attempts recorded. Unlikely /= impossible, however given the massive RNG of this event it’s actually fairly likely on the 3rd pass
Replies
In which case, why has the event gas obtained the same change as the player obtainable gas?
My other issue is that people who got gas previously had a ‘easier’ time of it than currently, due to a change, that reasonably wouldn’t have been expected in the event.
My comment is based on the fact that it is not a bug or a change to his kit. This does have an effect on the event, but it is hard to tell how broad this is or how much it effect the difference from recommended to actual.

I have av r6, b1 at r5, magna at r2 and the rest at g12 and 3 pieces.. I can get 5s down 40% of the time and that’s it toast
Always? I have yet to play an event in the game where a reworked/change/bug/correction affects the ‘boss’ toon in the event. *edit* apart from the malak event where it all went wonky

So you mean to tell me with how RNG dependent this thing is, over a period of 3.5 days that it’s impossible to play this event that often? Wow...
If you are dying 1000 times then maybe it’s a strat/mod issue?
Av is r6, magna is r2, b1 is r5 droideka is g12, 2 of the left pieces, one of the right, b2 is g12 +2.. mods I’ve tried fast droideka, slow droideka, arena mods all over the ship on different ones.. it’s all a joy.
Strategy is to kneel gas, 5s then echo then rex then arc.. only use aoe if magna is taunting, otherwise basics, best I’ve done so far (consistently) is 5s, echo and arc dead then gas stands up and beasts me..
Feel free to check out my gg and make any suggestions

I am saying that changes have been made in the game that are not direct changes to a kit or an event, and they have effected the difficulty of an event, just like this change has done.
Unlikely /= impossible
Also the event hasn't been open for 3.5 days.
It’s been through 3 times. First pass I didn’t have shak ti or ETA ready. Second attempt I got to P4 on day one and tried every day till the event closed. 3 days. It’s been open half a day this pass. 3.5 days.
Math
He means that the event is only open for 3 days then disappears for months.
Padme relic makes a HUGE difference. If you can relic her do it. Worth it
Fine, I misread the original comment.
Unlikely still /= impossible. It's possible you've tried it that many times, but unlikely.
I can’t right now iirc. Don’t have enough gear. Everyone kept saying Ashoka is the one that makes the difference (after GK of course). What do I do now? I’m already at 2 relic toons for this phase of the event.
Yes and changes have both benefited and hurt players through changes. You’re dancing around my main point that the event shouldn’t change. This time GAS is harder due to the change in how his counter works.
Think back to GMY. People slogged through it and then it was tuned to almost nothing on a separate pass. Was that fair to those that had to go through constant waves and a monster GMY? No.
The overall point is that once an event is released it should remain unchanged unless altered in the first pass. They can make an event’s mechanics unique to the event rather than what’s available to us. See B1 in assault battles
Again, they didnt change the event. That's the point that you are trying to make and others have called a bug. It is not a bug and the event was not changed. They made changes to mechanics in battle, which does have an effect here, much like other changes they have made to the game. The current state of GAS is aligned with his kit.
If you want all events to "not change" then shouldnt the toons you are able to use be locked in once an event is released?
I just went through the even 97 times in 2 hours. So you mean to tell me that trying 16 hours out of a possible 84 hours couldn’t likely yield close to a thousand attempts depending on how fast the attempts go? Some being an immediate retreat due to dazes, stuns, turn order of the enemy, abilities used, assists and uniques activating?
GC’s have spent several hours in previous events with hundreds of attempts recorded. Unlikely /= impossible, however given the massive RNG of this event it’s actually fairly likely on the 3rd pass
