Unlocking Master Yoda

Prev1
So let's try to get this straight...the forum update post says "Quote:The only way that players will be able to challenge Grand Master Yoda directly is if they can form a team composed of only Jedi. If players can create a team of all 7-star Jedi and defeat all difficulty tiers then they will be awarded with the ultimate prize, a SEVEN-STAR Grand Master Yoda!"

What I get from this is, the only way to unlock master Yoda is with an ALL 7 STAR TEAM OF JEDI...correct me if I am wrong...and God I hope I am...cause the majority of us have been focusing on the dreadful HK 47team with Poe...or Phasma speed...that's going to take forever unless we dump thousands of dollars into this **** game...at which point it literally makes this a pay to win game...putting all of the f2p players at a serious disadvantage. I hope I'm wrong...because even with 2 jedi at 7 star my other 3 are at 4 stars and the only way to get them is cantina battles or buying shard packs to get lucky...some clarification would be great. Even with my 5 jedi all at or above 4 stars I don't see the option to participate in the Yoda Event.

    You need 5 jedi at 5* minimum for a 5* yoda.
    I have 5* barisse, 5* qgj, 5* eeth, 5* jc and 7* lumi. I can unlock yoda at 5*. If i had one of them at 4* then i could not unlock yoda.
    For a 7* yoda you will need the team of 7* jedi.

    Although from a FINANCIAL standpoint I can understand why they are doing this...it's just so....wrong. Although it's a p2w game and i'm fine with that...they should at least encourage you to play the characters you want. I know there are Jedi fans out there and that's great, but what about us Sith lovers who have been leveling nothing but non Jedi besides easily farmable JC and Lumi? I just will not be able to get Yoda for 6 months to a year i guess because I'm sticking to farming the characters I want to farm and none of them are Jedi. Meh.

    You benefit from a 2P2 game so be happy with that.

    You should be at a serious disadvantage to the P2W players who finance this game. Without them you wouldn't have a game to play so stop being a whiny freeloader.

    The event was all explained in the forums, you can unlock him at 5* when you have 5x 5* Jedi and complete tier 5.

    See the funny thing is...that I'm not a free loader and have over $700 invested...I'm just stating it as it appears. EA has come up with yet another way for us to dump a ton of money into the game to get that one big advantage that will more than likely shift the balance in the game once again to those who can dump a ton of cash into the game...there is no fairness in this for the handful who cannot afford it...I'm stating this for the fact that they didn't say he will unlock at 5☆....if you read my post...they only elude to him unlocking once you have a full team of 7☆ jedi.....nothing about a 5☆ yoda.....this is simply another way of making the rich richer....

    It is another way to give you a choice to invest money. I for one am f2p with the exception of $50 which i got virtually nothing, and i reached rank 1 today against 27000 power with my 24100. Buying things in the game gives you a head start and not necessarily even a win. You can form a great team with easily farmable characters, but if you decide to pay, you can get a little better of a character.

    If you looked at yoda in the game, he needs 145 shards so that means he WILL be unlocked at 5* FOR SURE.

    did you really follow me from another thread? Are you really that ****? My sides can only go so far into space man lol. Yoda would be nice to have but I can wait. Too bad you're screwed with Poe being so nerfed and all, and with allll the money you must've invested in it. Thanks for making my night.

    You get shards for completing each stage.
    It takes 145 shards to unlock him and that is at 5*. You are so stubborn, just look at anything and you would know. You will learn in 12 hours that everyone was right and you were wrong. Why would they only have him unlocked at 7*. They are not completely dumb
  • Options
    For proof, here you go.

    Once players have completed Stage 5, they will have enough Shards to Activate the new character at 5 Stars.

    That is in the february release notes.
    Feel the dumb running through your veins

    If you have been playing since hard launch, there is no reason for you to not have atleast lumi and JC at 7*. Others are just luck of if you grinded them or not.

    I'm guessing this is your first competitive mobile game? Most games like this you need to spend hundreds and hundreds on to even compete in one event. Then a couple days later and next event starts and once again you need to pay all that money to even think about competing let alone actually competing. Go try blood brothers for a month then comeback and say how this is p2w. I don't think 90% of the people that play this game actually know what p2w is.

    With that said. You said you have been grinding sith? That's great because when the sith only event rolls around ( I'm guessing here, but with a Jedi only event only seems natruel ) you'll be set. Because I really think this is how all events will be. One sith, one rebel, one empire, ect. So no mater what, some events you just will not be able to compete in yet.

    Yes I have 5 7* Jedi. No I don't have 5 7* sith. I don't think I have 5 7* of anything else except Jedi, so I might not be able to compete in next event. This is why I'm now looking at shards of toons I might need for other events.

    I'm so tired of these posts by people who can't read... Maybe your quote didn't say it, but it was written plain in the release that he unlocks at 5* if you have a team of 5* to do it.

    quote="EA_Jesse;10013"]UPDATE: This update can now be manually installed from the App Store or Google Play store. Please note however that it may take up to 24 hours for this update to appear for you.

    ALSO, not all of these changes will be live in game until 2/10/2016 when a forced update will put all players on the same version of the game, example being character changes.
    ____________________________________
    Greetings,

    Here is the moment you have all been waiting for, the very large list for everything we're doing in the next major update! Please note that we are aiming to have this update live and ready to go next week, but there is always that chance it may slip a few days.

    DISCLAIMER: please be aware that anywhere in the notes where it says "now" refers to when this update is actually live.

    What’s New

    New Events System
    • A key feature in this update is a brand new Events system. This system replaces the old Key Card Events, and will enable our designers to craft a wide variety of Event types, structures, and themes.
    • To provide interesting and challenging scenarios, the new system can restrict the type, number, category, and rarity of units eligible for a given Event.
    • Events can allow limitless attempts, a limited number of attempts, or be non-repeatable.
    • Most Events are expected to be available for a limited time. An exception are the Training Droid and Credits Events which were previously available in the Key Card system. Those two events will also be available in the new Events system, and are expected to always be available.
    • A limited time Event can re-appear at a later date after its time limit has expired. Players' progress will be saved from previous attempts.
    • As part of this change, the old Key Card collection table has been removed.

    First Event – Featuring a New Character!
    • One of the most-frequently requested characters is now available! In this inaugural Event, players can Battle to win Shards for this character in their customized training Battles.
    • This Event features seven stages which must be unlocked progressively. Only Jedi units are allowed. The requirements for each Stage are also based on the star rarity of the Jedi units.
    • The first Battle in this Event requires five Jedi which are 1 Star or above. Completing that Battle will award Shards of the new character, and unlock Stage 2.
    • Stage 2 requires five Jedi which are 2 Star or above, and so on up to Stage 7 which requires five Jedi at 7 Stars to get the final Shards needed to Promote the new character to 7 Stars! Once players have completed Stage 5, they will have enough Shards to Activate the new character at 5 Stars.
    • This Event is planned to be available for a week, and then unavailable for a number of weeks, and then available again for a week, etc. This approach will give players multiple opportunities to progress in the Event, with time in between to prepare as needed.
    • This will be the only place to gain Shards of the new character. The new character is not expected to be for sale or acquirable elsewhere in the game.

    New Training Bot and Credit Events
    • These two repeatable Events have been refactored under the new Events system.
    • These Events are open indefinitely and no longer require Key Cards. Players can attempt them without limit.
    • Energy cost per attempt has been adjusted down.
    • Payouts per attempt have also been adjusted down to account for the lowered Energy cost, unlimited attempts, and economy balance.

    Free Energy Rewards
    • During 3 two hour periods of the day (12:00-14:00, 18:00-20:00, and 21:00-23:00, all in your local time) the player can collect additional bonus Energy through the Daily Activities menu.
    • This bonus Energy will only be available during those time windows and must be actively collected. The collection opportunity will not persist if the player comes in after the two hour window expires.
    • A countdown timer displays in Daily Activities to show when the next one will be available.

    Leaderboard Rank Swap Adjustments
    • Adjustments have been made to the way Arena matchmaking works for the top 40 positions on the leaderboard.
    • Once players reach rank 40, the range of players they can challenge will begin to shrink.
    • For example, previously, players who reached rank 11 could attack the player at rank 2. Now a rank 11 player will only be able to attack a player up to rank 6.

    Shard Details
    • When viewing possible rewards or shipments, clicking on a character Shard will display the number of Shards required to acquire or Promote that character as well as summary details on the strategic value of the character.
    • This will give players more info on Shards where they need it, so they don't have to navigate away to check their Shard counts.

    Gear Details
    • When a player views possible rewards or shipments, gear that is currently needed for a character(s) is badged.
    • Clicking on a badged piece of gear will display all characters that currently need the gear (at that moment).
    • Viewing gear details now displays the quantity of gear that the player owns.

    Finding Gear/Shards
    • Improvements were made to the Find flow so players will know if they got the piece they were looking for.
    • After pressing "Find" to search for a piece of gear, when that piece of gear is part of the post-Battle rewards, it is highlighted as "Collected X/Y" with X being the quantity of the item the player owns and Y being the quantity of the item needed to fulfill the crafting requirement.
    • Shards will also be highlighted as "Collected X/Y" when searched.

    Shard Shop
    • Previously when players gained enough Shards for a 7 star character, any additional Shards earned had no value. The Shard Shop is the answer to this problem.
    • A "Shard Shop" will now unlock when a player has collected a 7 star character.
    • At the shop, players can convert additional Shards earned for their 7 star characters into a currency that can be spent on acquiring Shards for other characters.
    • Dialog for pre and post unlock guide explain the purpose of the shop.

    Gear Crafting Improvements
    • Several changes were made to the crafting flows to make it less labor intensive for players.
    • Previously when crafting a piece of nested gear (multiple levels of crafting), after crafting was complete for the "child" or "component" piece, the player would have to navigate up a hierarchy level to determine what gear was needed next to craft the "parent" or "full" piece.
    • Now when the child item has been crafted the player will immediately be taken to the parent (one level up), removing the extra navigation step.
    • Previously when crafting a piece of nested gear with many levels of hierarchy, each child had to be crafted individually before the parent could be crafted. Crafting can now be done at the parent level if all gear and credits required for child items have been gathered.
    • A back button is now present in the gear crafting UI making navigation up a level of hierarchy more clear. The current hierarchy level is also highlighted.
    • The "Equip" button will now be green when the gear needed is available, minimizing players from accidentally spending crafting materials unnecessarily.
    • When multiple pieces of gear are needed, a scrollbar is present and gear that is needed is sorted to the top.

    Arena Screen
    • Arena Matchmaking screen has been overhauled based on player feedback, and to clarify a number of things players were finding confusing.
    • The screen will now show opponents' full squad, allowing players to both plan for the Battle and to study what unit combinations other players are using.
    • Tap and Hold on opponent units will bring up details for that specific unit.
    • The player's own rank is more prominently displayed.
    • Changed the power icon to just the word "Power" to make it more clear to players.
    • The prize tier the player is currently is now displayed next to the player's power.
    • A timer was added to the Prizes button to show when those rewards will be distributed.
    • The Home button is now available in the upper right. The Refresh opponent list button has been moved.
    • Shipments button in Arena (and Galactic War) changed to read "Redeem" and show the currency icon to clarify where to spend the related currency.

    Improvements to Delayed Damage
    • Previously, abilities which caused Damage over Time (DoT) or had a time-delay element in their damage could not kill an enemy unit when it started its turn. That is no longer the case.
    • Units with a DoT, bomb, or similar effect on them will suffer the correct amount of damage at the very start of their turn. If that takes them to zero health, they will die before taking their turn.

    Improved Pack Descriptions
    • The pack description screen has been improved to provide a more detailed account of the potential drops from each of the packs.
    • This is meant to more accurately represent the possible drops from packs than the previous approach that only displayed characters.
    • This new description is not a comprehensive list of everything in the pack, due to the vast quantity of items, but shows a large percentage of the possible items.

    Ally Information
    • Clicking on an Ally under Allies->Manage will now display additional information about the Ally including the leader's ability, PvP Rank, and Power.
    • This will allow players to assess their ally list more carefully.

    Sell button / screen removed
    • We removed the Sell Screen, and ability to sell items, from the game. This decision was made for a few reasons.
    • First, the replacement of Mining Droids with credits removed the item that people sold the most.
    • Second, with the improvements to gear details, players can now see how many of an item exists in inventory, a primary value of the Sell screen.
    • Finally, we were noticing that players were often accidentally selling items, leading to a negative experience.
    • We realize some players sell gear and xp bots purposefully to earn credits, but we feel this is a better experience for the majority of the playerbase.
    • Any player that had a mining droid in the inventory will receive an Inbox message granting the credit value of the droids.

    Gear rarity visibility
    • The border around gear denoting its rarity is now present in Shipments and during Data Card opening, making it easier to know the gear's value.

    Squad management
    • When selecting squad members pre-Battle, the characters previously had their level listed redundantly. This has been replaced by showing character power, assisting in determining which character to choose.

    Character Inventory Screen
    • Previously, on the Characters inventory screen, each panel for a character had a progress bar with two potential meanings. If the character had been Activated, the bar indicated the units XP progress to their next level. If the character had not been Activated, it showed progress of collecting Shards to Activate the character. This was confusing and hard to message clearly.
    • Now, regardless of whether the character is or isn't Activated, the bar under the characters now shows progress to the next star level (unit Shards).
    • Characters were previously sorted by level as a default. They are now sorted by Power, which is a more accurate representation of their value.
    • Gear slots now show the actual gear images so it's more clear when the slots are filled. Optimizations to the system allowed this without massive increase to inventory load.

    Galactic War
    • The chest that animates, prompting the player to open it, has improved VFX so it's easier to tell what to do (tap on chest to open it).
    • Refreshing the Galactic War Shipments now costs premium currency to make it consistent with other shipment stores.

    Daily Reward
    • Improved VFX after collecting the Daily Reward will more clearly show what the player has received.
    • A detail was added to the info section in the Daily Reward screen explaining that daily login progress resets at the beginning of each month.

    Accounts
    • If a player on Android is logged into G+, that player will continue to be logged in after doing an update from the app store. Previously a player could be logged out of G+.

    Battle Targeting
    • The targeting reticle "pops" more noticeably when attempting to target an opponent unit when another opponent unit is taunting, or when trying to target a stealthed opponent.
    • This should make it more clear why a player cannot change targets in those instances.
    • Improvements were made in Battle to make it easier to target backrow opponents so players can be more strategic in their target choices.
    • Targets will no longer swap between character turns when using manual Battle.

    Training Bot Icons
    • The size of training droid icons was increased in the info panels to make them easier for players to see and differentiate between them.

    VFX Changes
    • Double Shot VFX for Cad Bane and CT555's basic attack has been improved so they shoot from the right gun for the double shot.
    • VFX for Clone Wars Chewbacca's specials were differentiated more so it is clear that the chosen special ability was triggered.

    Attack animation distance
    • The distance to target in the animation for the Jedi Knight Guardian's basic attack and Kylo Ren's second special was reduced (no functional change, cosmetic adjustment) so it looks more like they are hitting their targets.

    Challenges
    • In order to help players plan, all of the panels for the Challenges now show the days of the week when a Challenge is available.
    • Previously, inactive Challenges were hidden, but in order to show when inactive Challenges will become available, all panels are now visible even if they are not accessible.

    “Go” Button Fixes
    • The “Go” button for Daily Activities has now been fixed for the Galactic War Activity, Use the Force, Mission Directives, Hard Won, and Give in to the Dark Side.
    • Go button on the "Battle Hardened" Achievement now takes player to Hard Mode Campaign instead of the store.

    App Rating Prompt
    • Added to the choices so players can dismiss the prompt forever or postpone it for a while.
    • "Rate Now" - Takes player to app store.
    • "Not Now" - Player is reminded to rate later.
    • "Never" - Reminder does not reappear.

    Home Screen Scroll Bar
    • Added an indicator to the Cantina Home Screen under the HUD that shows that there are scrollable areas to the left and right

    Cantina Energy Color
    • Changed Cantina Energy icon color from purple to match the color of Cantina Credits.

    Good lord, here it is for everyone. From the general discussion forum, Feb notes post from EA_Jesse, go to section "first event featuring a new character", bullet four, last sentence. For the love of god let this die here!

    Given the poe fiasco, who knows, they may change it last minute and make the requirement a team of six 8* Jedis just to mess with people and then sit back and laugh.

    If you complete the event below 5*, you still earn shards. That would make it possible to get a 7* Yoda through farming. I wonder if you are locked out of a challenge once you complete it, or they implement some other way to restrict shards for completion of the challenge. Otherwise, just complete the 5* challenge until you get enough shards to unlock the next star level.

    EDIT: No, you must complete the challenges in order and you cannot accumulate extra shards. No 5 x 7* Jedi, no 7* Yoda.

    ...they should at least encourage you to play the characters you want.
    That is what they are doing. Instead of just following the flavor of the month or what someone tells you to farm, you should have invested in who you wanted. I started FTP and worked on my Jedi, today im being rewarded. In the future they may have this event for Grievous and require you to have your droids. ex... The game has changed so much in the last 2 months that it is in everyone's best interest to just farm who they want and have fun.

    You don't even have to farm Yoda just 5 Jedi to 5* or 7* and in 20 minutes ill tell you if the 7 levels of events are easy.

    ...they should at least encourage you to play the characters you want.
    That is what they are doing. Instead of just following the flavor of the month or what someone tells you to farm, you should have invested in who you wanted.

    Awesome keep us updated. I still want Yoda as collecting characters is fun but after seeing his kit he doesn't have the playstyle i'm looking for. I can see some great synergy with him though and should be fun to see how it pans out.

    I tried him out in an arena match just for fun and barely won.

    He has potential but mine is not geared or skilled up enough yet to use regularly.

    Using Qgj 6* lead, 6* Poe, 4* old ben, 7* sid and 6* yoda...

    The big issue was he hits weak so far since mine only has gear 6 level and skills only at rank 3. However he did some great buffs and debuts. The finest moment for him was absorbing/dodging a 7* Reys special attack. With full gear and skills he may be worth it with qgj speed boost he was able to act fairly fast.

    I might need to rework my team so this was just a test run but I need to wait a week or so to upgrade his attacks and gear.

    Although from a FINANCIAL standpoint I can understand why they are doing this...it's just so....wrong. Although it's a p2w game and i'm fine with that...they should at least encourage you to play the characters you want. I know there are Jedi fans out there and that's great, but what about us Sith lovers who have been leveling nothing but non Jedi besides easily farmable JC and Lumi? I just will not be able to get Yoda for 6 months to a year i guess because I'm sticking to farming the characters I want to farm and none of them are Jedi. Meh.

    This is me. I've been playing since launch, working on Sith and Empire guys and only have 4 Jedi.

    I don't want a bunch of Jedi but I would love to have Yoda. So I'm just SOL? That's just dumb.

    I'm forced to either change everything I've been doing for weeks just to obtain one character or be completely locked out of ever having him.

    Just terrible planning on this one.

    The events are extremely easy so it seems...Grandmaster Yoda has a ton of dodge ability but when he gets hit he takes a fair amount of damage...He progressively gets harder and harder but the first 4 levels blew by fast...Imy currently running 7 star Luminara, 6 star JC, 5 Star Ayala Secura, 4 star Qui Gon, and 4 star Tano...close to 5 star on Qui gon and Tano....so I might get 5 star Yoda before the week ends...we shall see....

    So let's try to get this straight...the forum update post says "Quote:The only way that players will be able to challenge Grand Master Yoda directly is if they can form a team composed of only Jedi. If players can create a team of all 7-star Jedi and defeat all difficulty tiers then they will be awarded with the ultimate prize, a SEVEN-STAR Grand Master Yoda!"

    What I get from this is, the only way to unlock master Yoda is with an ALL 7 STAR TEAM OF JEDI...correct me if I am wrong...and God I hope I am...cause the majority of us have been focusing on the dreadful HK 47team with Poe...or Phasma speed...that's going to take forever unless we dump thousands of dollars into this **** game...at which point it literally makes this a pay to win game...putting all of the f2p players at a serious disadvantage. I hope I'm wrong...because even with 2 jedi at 7 star my other 3 are at 4 stars and the only way to get them is cantina battles or buying shard packs to get lucky...some clarification would be great. Even with my 5 jedi all at or above 4 stars I don't see the option to participate in the Yoda Event.

    You should be at a serious disadvantage to the P2W players who finance this game. Without them you wouldn't have a game to play so stop being a whiny freeloader.

    The event was all explained in the forums, you can unlock him at 5* when you have 5x 5* Jedi and complete tier 5.

    See the funny thing is...that I'm not a free loader and have over $700 invested...I'm just stating it as it appears. EA has come up with yet another way for us to dump a ton of money into the game to get that one big advantage that will more than likely shift the balance in the game once again to those who can dump a ton of cash into the game...there is no fairness in this for the handful who cannot afford it...I'm stating this for the fact that they didn't say he will unlock at 5☆....if you read my post...they only elude to him unlocking once you have a full team of 7☆ jedi.....nothing about a 5☆ yoda.....this is simply another way of making the rich richer....


    Wrong, go reread the patch release notes sticky post, it says "Stage 2 requires five Jedi which are 2 Star or above, and so on up to Stage 7 which requires five Jedi at 7 Stars to get the final Shards needed to Promote the new character to 7 Stars! Once players have completed Stage 5, they will have enough Shards to Activate the new character at 5 Stars."

    I already have him myself at 5*

    Jabberwocky,

    How do you like him...does he seem way OP...or too hard drive to tell at only 5☆? His buff stealing capabilities give me the impression that his potential will be rediculess in a good way.
