Thoughts on new Community Event?
So this is a thread just to discuss what do u all think about the new community event? Personally im not so impressed but that's just my opinion.. I wish they could have come up with something new.. Maybe introduce a new unplayable sith where u gtta use your team to take him down.. With a maybe a small story to build it up and make things a little interesting...

Hmm i just feel there's not much difference except we get 10 shards for Rey which is no doubt.. Its Awesome! But we've been fighting Boba Fett even b4 this event.. So i dont really feel there's anything new..
The setup is also weird. Are they really going to announce at the end that only 64.3% of players did the challenges so there's no reward? Of course not, they are going to say it was sucessful regardless, even though odds are pretty good that way less than 2/3 of registered players will do those challenges.
I seriously hope there is more for this for the holiday period, as every other game I have played has had special promotions, fun giveaways, etc. This is pretty lame by comparison.
That's what i think so too..
They're always available those three days...
Meh. Its free stuff. No real reason to complain but clearly they could be better. I would have been a lot happier with 5 days of the droid challenge than the normal 3 days + 10 shards.
Wait a minute did you just say her? I haven't seen the movie yet but i pictured as a man. I am disappointed now
She's been in all the trailers and posters lol... Her name and gender was never a secret lol.
As much as I appricate the event, it would be nice if the community event ended with getting enough shards to summon Rey. So 10 shards would be the first milestone,then 20 etc and if the community scored high enough then we'd all unlock her.
True... It just doesn't feel like an event to me.. For all the daily players playing this game.. These challenges are something we alwaya do.. Only difference is we're getting 10 shards for it that is only if a certain amount of players really do it...
I feel like they are just testing the waters with how to handle events like these and want to see how this process works out overall. Since I do these dailies regularly anyways the extra 10 shards is kind of nice.
I whole heartedly agree. I'm certainly doing my three daily Rey missions as I do inevitably want her; but to call this a holiday event is pathetic.
Hell....I'm still trying to figure out why they chose to give her the staff as her weapon. She had one tiny fight with it in the movie. Her fight scene with the lightsaber was far cooler and longer. But how can I be surprised when they gave Luke Skywalker a blaster rifle when he literally did nothing but get knocked out while holding one....
Anyway, with the amount of money this game has seemingly been raking in, this is a very Scrooge like attempt at giving back to its player base.
In before "just be happy you're getting anything." Yes we get they don't have to.... But it's pretty much become an industry standard to celebrate the Christmas/holiday season in online games. It shows the player base that the devs and producers are engaged with them and care about them as well as the game.
Besides, now they can release another Rey later after we spend weeks unlocking this one.
Oops sorry i thought the reward was kylo ren. My bad
I'd much rather see special events like Raid Bosses, where community members fight a particularly challenging boss together (Rancors, Sarlacs, etc., or already existing enemies with new skins and abilities that require different tactics).
It would also be great if we could actually unlock new characters through events not just shards (kinda like the events in Final Fantasy: Record Keeper).
Love the ideas.
I'm not impressed with only 10 shards, because I won't be able to use her.. I'd have preferred the game had given us a new "playable" character.. like upon the release of the new starwars movie, but this time, we earned her.
Anyways.. there's a lot of variation and creative ways to go about this game and intrude new characters.. so far most things have gone untapped.
Conclusion: yes I appreciate the shards. Will they matter in the long run? No.. Not really. If I had her unlocked then yes. But until then, she can sit next to anakin at 12 shards, who's been waiting for a month to increase..
This, right here. I love events like this and I want to collect her character, but given the slow grind to get her, it would be awesome to have enough milestones, or tiers, to the challenge to unlock her. I'll welcome the 10 though.
A tiered challenge, actually possible, with a real prize like a useful unlocked char if we make it all the way would've been awesome! This? Meh.
So they are, I must have misread it as being 3 consecutive days so they'd be in addition to the normal ones. Oh well, still free shards for something I'd do anyway.
There could have been special credits that you got uniquely for completing certain challenge levels (maybe in a pattern that would allow farming at least every other day) and the cost of the shards would be in accordance with their perceived rarity (based on how many characters have been pulled or manually unlocked, I guess), so Lando would be more expensive compared to Barriss, who has farming nodes. Ideally this would have been running all month, instead of being halfway through some peoples' time off already.
