  • Boba Fett's "Execute" will no longer count some buffs/debuffs twice when calculating bonus damage
  • Fixed a description typo in Sun Fac’s Geonosian Starfighter
  • Fixed a bug with Old Daka's passive that could allow Scarif Rebel Pathfinder to gain the Offense Up and Defense Up effects when he was revived from his own passive rather than Daka's
  • Fixed a bug that could allow units to still be revived by Daka's passive after her death if they died either before her or at the same time as her

    I preface this by saying that I genuinely enjoy the tournaments after the changes that were made.

    But, that said--Oh my God, can we have a freaking break? The first one was 2/3 October, it's now 22 November. In 8 weeks we'll have had 4 tournaments.

    That's a lot. By comparison, we've had two each of Endor and Empire might challenges, two Yodas, three Omega Challenges, and one Palpatine.

    So can we please have a little break? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, man.

    My personal decision is that I'm going to pick and choose which tournaments to do, as it seems there might be a lot of them. For example, I will probably sacrifice a shot at Vader's Custom TIE in order to save my ally points to try and star up my Chirrut. I think if there's a particular week/weekend where I don't feel like tournamenting, I'll just take a break.

    But otherwise, I too, have been enjoying them.

    ETA: With ships and stuff out, I think I am going to go back to my original plan of casually gaming on this thing, as there seems to be too much content to do everything full-on. I will probably not try and be very competitive with ships for a while until my ground toons are stronger.

    Yeah, I hear you. But it's like, if I like tournaments and I'm getting burnt out, man.... Can't imagine what the haters are thinking.

    As someone who doesn't exactly enjoy them nor dislike them, its honestly just too much. Like there are other aspects of the game, can we focus elsewhere for a bit... Especially with Ships coming in now I don't want to have to focus on the upcoming tournament for the ship while also focusing on how I should go about making changes to my current ships.

    Ha, true. I'm also wondering what it will be like once I hit level 80 and get on a 80-85 shard with whales...at that point I might just not try anymore at all.

    Well eventually everyone will burn all their ally points and there won't be as much grinding

    Feel free to take a break so other players can rank higher in your absence. :)

    Ha! I was 1062 last time, so I don't think I'm blocking anyone =P Nah, I'll still do them because it isn't much tine investment on my part. But, man is my enthusiasm waning...

    I like tourney!

    I agree! Had 2 out of 4 wks with no credit heist that I was hanging out for but we just finished a tournament last weekend now there's another 1 this weekend. I too would like a bit bigger break. 3 or 4 wks. But please feel free to keep the omega events going each wk, not just during November.

    I've finally decided to save my gw tokens to take part in the next tournament and was just wondering how long it's been between each one
  • Options
    Not long enough...
    In game name: Lucas Gregory FORMER PLAYER - - - -"Whale blah grump poooop." - Ouchie

    In game guild: TNR Uprising
    I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
    *This space left intentionally blank*
  • Options
    The past few have been every 2 weeks but I actually hope they wait a bit longer between tournaments.
  • Options
    Way too often

    Nice to see you're listening to the masses (heavy sarcasm). Let me be the first to congratulate the whales on their new toy and to give raspberry to greater player base that will see more than 25 shards of this locked character in their inventory. Long may you dominate the arena, oh masters of the universe.

    ironically i will be watching rogue one on the 17th

    What the title says. What the bloody hell? Rebels already have a ton of overpowered heroes, but they keep getting more, and more and more. Why not introduce a good Empire character for a change?

    Yeah, I could have proofread that first, but eh...

    you apparently didn't see the movie where they got all blown up?

    i see what you mean now, 80 to unlock. i sue my gw tokens on ships now. one week to fill up
  • Options
    I see that we get Jyn at 4 stars, as it was in last tournament with Vader ship. So only top 25 will get her unlocked?
  • Options
    Oh look, another tournament. How fun.

    Devs, please be considerate of people who have normal lives that can't spend too much time grinding to get to the top place. Give us old style tournaments like you did Yoda and that's more forgivable.

    Events = Yay!
    Tournaments = Boo!

    and all the whales just open champagne

    Can we get a character released in some other way than another weekend-wasting tournament? Sick and tired of this played out format.

    Careful saying that word. Mods like to remind you forums are a despotism not a democracy.
