May the 4th trash rewards

Jarhead980

seriously cg!? A few slicing materials, a few zeta mats, and some character shards?
The literal piles of money that people spend on this game, and you couldn't throw a little gear out there? I mean, people pay real money for a few bytes of data. Maybe a piece or two of gear, stun guns, cuffs. Etc...doesn't even need to be cryotech... another missed opportunity to mend a few fences with the community that they've neglected for so so long...wasted again.

I'll have your free stuff if you don't want it...

Jarhead980

I'll put it in a pack that you can purchase. Don't want to make you feel like it's not a good deal.

all for the fair price of 99.99, right Jarhead980?

It's free....as are double drops and all the extra events (all of which are pretty much more free stuff).

That's not how sarcasm works.

I'm not complaining about freebies but OP got a point(a very good one even) , even if he's being truthful about sarcasm.

"I don't like the free stuff we got" isn't really a good point at all. Especially since you could have farmed gear with double drops if that's your issue.

I don’t think a few pieces of extra gear rewards would mend any fences as OP suggests. Better communication, reduced grind to G12 and new content on the regular would do that, not some more hand outs.

Would be a start tho🤷‍♂️

I was hoping for the 20 zetas we got last year, that said, I’m not going to complain about what we did get.

If it makes you feel better we got 5, plus another 5 added to log in rewards.

I was checking out May 4th rewards for the last 3 years and people were here complaining each and every year and I think each year they improved.

Some posters will always find some fault with increased generosity. No matter what CG gives out for free, someone will claim that they "have too much badwill built up" or people "have spent trucks of money on the game" or "last year you gave us x and y, but this year you gave us less of x, but more of y and some z. I only want X!". There is no pleasing everyone with free stuff apparently.

It's almost as if people have no idea what they are talking about and just want to cry and see if begging harder will help them get more free stuff.

I also think some people that say last years rewards were better than this year aren’t really comparing. I’m trying to find a comparison chart or something that shows each year, but so far no luck.

It will definitely be hard to get a direct 1 to 1 comparison, because it is highly likely the gift was combined/altered to account for #StayAndPlay initiatives. At the end of the day, they have an in game economy to balance, and its nearly impossible to argue that we are not getting a better month of May (in terms of free stuff) than we did last year. I think the only thing we get less of is zeta mats (down 10), although I do not recall if last may was before the change to guaranteed challenge zetas. If it was before, that would mean we are getting approximately 3 more zetas per week from challenges (about 12 per month).

Agreed, stay and play initiative added another layer to this.

Anyway, Saying the May the 4th rewards are trash as OP has, just isn’t true when looking at all May the 4th from years past.

It takes away from legitimate concerns and complaints and that do exist and furthers the divide between devs and players.

Did you find any official posts of May 4th gifts before last year? I couldn't, and didn't feel like wasting time searching the rest of the forums for unofficial ones. Genuinely curious to see how they have evolved over time.

I'm just saying, when CG_Carrie was around, the communication was better, the rewards were better/helpful, and they accepted feedback from the community.
This is the most profitable mobile game around. So a few stun guns, cuffs, etc would be good. Slicing mats and a portrait aren't exactly "Star Wars Day" material.
I would expect the rewards that were dished out in a year 1 game, but not a game where the majority of the community is level 85

To me, your post sounds more like you're complaining about not getting enough free stuff
