Whats the logic behind giving people using android a free pack "worth" 1499 and iOS get nothing?
Personally, all Apple users should be on a different server. And all Android should be on a different server.
The logic is each OS can do offers and promotions to get people to buy their products.
Currently Google is promoting the game and trying to get people to buy their new device and say check out this awesome starwars game. etc.
Samsung does the same thing. They have this games pack and they try to get people to buy their devices by saying there are awesome games.
The console war does this all the time with their exclusive preorders and exclusive dlcs. Consumers feel rewarded for their supported device.
The problem here is CG and EA mixing the 2 different player bases into the same server. Because of this it creates unfair advantages for those who got the better deal between the devices when competing in arenas and tournaments and guild leaderboards for raids.
Apple got Wedge. Android got screwed with Biggs.
Apple got Ewok Apps for Earth event. Android got this Escape from Jedha event.
These events aren't a big deal if the player base were mixed together.
Time to step up to the plate, own it, and let us all get on with playing.
Stop reading this part of the forum and let people state there own opinions
LOL what are you even talking about?? I'm referring to EA and the mess created here over the last few days. I'm iOS - I got nothing. It would be nice to hear a real explanation and let us all move on.
I am sure this is a calculated move by EA and they anticipated the backlash beforehand. It is sad they accept such sponsorship from Google and alienated the other half of the player base. This is a competitive game with arena and tournaments. Such move affects the competitiveness of the game.
Successful game don't do such things and is sad EA have a track record of destroying franchises.
I am on iOS and I am waiting until I see what happens after the 10 day exclusivity period. If at that point we get nothing then I am done spending what I spend on the game. If we get equal rewards then I am ok with it.
It's funny how people on the forum expect everyone to have patience when something like this happens. In any other business, if something like this happened, social media would be out with the pitchforks and torches. But here we are expected to accept it and move along quietly.
I have iOS and am a little frustrated that this happened. I do expect that iOS will get something to make up for this. If not, oh well it's nothing worth dreading on. Everyone just keep your heads up and hope EA helps us iOS users out too.
lol did someone really say ios gets more? Androids got a free 1500 crystal pack, shore trooper shards. while ios did get wedge shards, androids users got DOUBLE the amount of biggs shards. So that more than made up for that. Hell when you start now on android you even get ig 86. Soy ou also get an exclusive character now.. Face it ea ALWAYS gives more to android users, lmao android users quitting because ios gets more stuff. You must be off your meds.

Feel free to add what i missed.
You should probably add the information, about which of these freebies was free for all and which were USA-exclusive!
Left by design. The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.

You know what? Youre right . I can only remember free poe/phasma shards for celebrating tfa release on bluray. That was region limited right? Not sure for usa or eu only.
And no one forget the free chewie shards for all. We still missing number 1 and 2 inbox message for that tho.
So glad I'm an android user, by the end of this event I will have a max level 7* K2SO with G11 and all abilities omega'd. He's gonna be such a beast too.
If you read the marketing speak carefully, its a 'exclusive limited time access', so the rest of us Apple users will get access to him, the question is whether we get the packs and event, or whether they just stick it on a cantina node and say there you go..
Put me in the "Disgruntled iOS Player" column, please. Now that I'm here, does an EA rep drive to my house and spit directly into my face or do they just mail me a jar of spit for me to apply myself?
I just cant believe its a whole 7* character that android users get, this is over and above any other exclusive they've provided. Most exclusives are just mediocre rewards, but to decide to give out a full 7* character, and then decide to only give it to android, so IOS has to battle a 7* character on their arena server that they cant get, thats just a crazy unfair competitive advantage, this goes way further than just an exclusive when it gives one OS a huge unrecoverable advantage over the other OS
...give us poor pathetic iOS users the option to buy K2SO.
Give us this gift.
Yep I could see EA taking the deal if Google paid the $200 price tag that a user would pay for an exclusive character, (and a rebel character weeks before a rebel only event that unlocks one of the best characters in the game).
I doubt Google paid that much, probably pennies per player. Give the entire community a chance to buy it for the same price that Google paid per player.

Google paid EA for exclusive content across all their games. Not just this one. So likely the pennies per player you said.

Not really. They only told part of the story with the packs, with no mention of the event as if to sweep it under the rug.

I think if they do exclusives, VIP's should qualify regardless of OS.

That free Lando lasted about 6 hours if I recall
I hope we can catch on another topic the near future.

Is it possible we could have some sort of response please?
Not gonna change the phone I use or anything, but my decrease my spend rate, if I start seeing K2SO in arena and my rank is lowered because of it.
