Admiral Raddus is G11 for this event? Is this a sick joke?
So wait - you want him to be R9 for the unlock but we cant use him at R9??
Is this some kind of sick joke?

But it's not fun. This is a game, damnit. The "hard" part should be farming. Not gating us behind a G11 Raddus and blocking a ship that we all have and could desperately use for this event.
Not to mention, this event runs for 24 hours. And it's going to take A LOT of time to unlock and max. Just not cool, all around.
I enjoyed figuring out a lineup that worked. A bit less RNG once I did would’ve been nice, but this is not worse than when Executor was released.
pretty sure with executor it was the same with piett, he was g11 in the event but could then use his r8 in the bonus tier
They also add a stupid amount of TM loading to the AI as well.
Seriously CG, what's the point of requiring relic 7, 8, 9 pilots for ships that get ONE SHOT by your AI? Why not just make all our pilots level 1 and ships level 1?
"Thanks for spending all the time, energy, resources, and cash on building up these characters. Now enjoy this 'fun' event for the next 4-5 hours while RNG, our employee of the year, frustrates you over and over. Yay, fun!"
I disagree, very much so. The AI didn't one shot at least one of my ships every attempt like this one is doing even on tier 1. (Hey CG? If you wanted us to start with only 2 ships, then you should've just made it that way instead of us bringing in 3 and one immediately gets destroyed because of the FOUR tm loaded AI ships)
This horrible event coupled with ALL MY MODS GETTING DELETED!!!
Also, the different animations for.ultimate depending of the fleet is a very nice touch.
Now the bad: doing the same battle up to 25 times in a row to 7* the beast is not fun.
For the bonus tier that is refreshable - would it at all be possible to make this a random encounter where the enemy team is either Executor or one of the fleets encountered in the event?
Make sure to add that the “flying health bar” animation is not cool. The enemy ship sits there and the health bar flys over you in the event fighting the exec. Glitchy invisible ship.
Second attempt on the bonus tier I finished it and it wasn't that difficult. Second attempt after doing a refresh and after 10 attempts I can't get anything to work right. But I'm sure that's TOTALLY coincidental and pure RNG factor. Yep, no way would it be made more difficult the second time...
Maybe one day we'll go back to having skill based events and turn off the 90% RNG option?
Since you're making a report and this is a significant factor, could you pass along that the Y-Wing's Ion Torpedoes ability is pretty well useless? Not only does it get resisted at least half the time, even when you do hit a tank with it, they take a turn and get their protection back immediately. Kinda dumb how lame such a significant capability is, the same one that took down star destroyers? (And yes, mine is maxed out under NOW an R9 capital ship pilot.)
Ion Torpedo should get an accuracy boost AND last at least 2 turns.
For the event, I agree. I've given a 7* ship a few battles in my arena shard vs r9 Execs and it doesn't matter diddly squat if Y-Wing gets resisted lol. The fleet is insane.
🤮
And this event makes it appear the ship sucks. The event should make me excited to part with the cash, not question whether i should continue to play this game.
Thats the issue.
For the record:
As a 7 star owner i can assure you it does not suck on offense against anything... but on defense it plays poorly
Question for @CG_SBCrumb & @CG_Tusken_Meathead:
So if i use this on offense in gac and hit the ultimate but still lose.... does the enemy capital ship come back or did it just peace out till the ships all die?
What
I guess he's talking about the crystals needed to refresh it 24 times
Still cheaper than buying a marquee ($300+)
and this argument only works if you didn't have time to plan for the crystals beforehand and starting with 0 crystals
No, the argument works if you had enough crystals to do it for free saved up.
Why after playing those tier 1 and 2 battles multiple times to get the right rng would you ever be going 'yeah, lets go all in on this one'.
Shouldnt the event be showcasing how great the ship is?
Why is it designed to be super frustrating?
Thats the exact opposite way to sell this to your players.
