This whole phoenix bonanza is irritating the whole community.
If you want to release a character in a legendary event, atleast require the line up to be from an already established faction.
Like when R2D2 was announced i rushed to gear and level the empire toons i had but rather ignored for a while, but it was possible to get R2D2 at six stars for me and many others too who also 7 stared him. New players had a chance at a crack at the event.
But why with thrawn has the balance been tipped?
If you ran out of factions, (with the rebels being a requirement for EP). Then release him in a marquee event and the problem is sloved!
What does everyone think!

"Buy the pack to get Thrawn right now or it will be over !". It is the basic cheap marketing (and also one of the most efficient) you find in some kitchen or car dealer.

What's the problem? Getting them to 5* isn't hard for f2p (like myself) in time for the event. I doubt any f2ps are gonna have him them at 7* by the time the event rolls around though. I don't think I'd believe that unless they had millions of shard shop currency... I used a 5* EP for the entire 6 months after his release before the second time his event came back and I was able to 7* him, most characters, especially support characters will be arena viable at 5* depending on their skillsets.
I think, unfair advantage.
And how is it unfair that longer-playing characters have a chance at getting a higher star version of a legendary event character? That's ALWAYS the way it's been. I didn't get Yoda maxed for a looong time. Didn't get Palp the first time around, either.
It's super easy to get a 5* PS. And fairly easy to get a 6* PS. Getting a 7* PS with the shortened time-frame will require lots of advanced planning and foresight, but doable even for some F2P.
Same boat. But I'll have Sabine too...albeit with less shard shop currency. Event is fine the way it is. Much cheaper to get him to 7* than a marquee event if he is meta breaking.

Would you rather he be stuck behind a pay wall for 3 months and then behind a single hard-node just like Baze where it will take F2P players 9 months to max him by farming him daily?
Oh I'm not defending it, but it's still manageable for any f2p that didn't start after the Phoenix Marquees. And well, people who started between then and now don't really have huge claims to being able to complete Legendary events. I started playing December 2015 and didn't unlock Yoda the first time his event came around and I dropped every project I was working on when he was announced but still only had 4 jedi at 5* by the time the event finished. They aren't going to change it now so aim for 5* that's what I'm aiming for. I doubt I can get 5 of them to 6* before the event finishes, but 5* is totally reachable. 7* is straight up out of the question for any f2p, so what? Only the whales or p2p players get to use Thrawn in raids for the next 6 months, that was essentially true for General Kenobi and GK is probably still going to be better than Thrawn for overall use, Thrawn clearly has directed Empire synergies.
I'm just saying 5* Thrawn isn't that bad and saying that newer players don't have a chance isn't exactly much of an argument. Let them play a few more months before they're able to unlock characters via the new legendary event, I don't actually see anything wrong with that. I do think that they could've done a different event that was somewhere between a marquee and legendary and that would've been widely more accepted by the community.
But how is there anything wrong with long time players having an "unfair" advantage? What's the point in playing a game loyally for a a long time if you are in the exact same category as the people that started playing 3 weeks ago?
I spent 2k crystals on cantina, However I'm first everyday on my shard, and yes I think it's unfair... it should be fair for at least top 20. first, I won't have them 7 stars by the end of the event anyway, and second we had yoda event this month!!!
Because they fund the game? They are the ones that mean we are getting all this new content at the moment without whales EA wouldn't invest into improving the game?
Players Scrambled to get 5 Jedi ready
EP released
Players Scrambled to get 5 Rebels ready
R2 Released
Players Scrambled to get 5 Empire ready
There has been one of these "I don't have 5 x faction at 7* it is not fair threads" every legendary event (the "I" is general and not directed at anyone specific as I don't know what the OP or anyone else has ready so don't get you panties in a twist).
Not everyone needs to have everything maxed on release. It rewards those that have been working on their entire roster and not just the 5 character flavor of the month.
BTW if a FTP can get him unlocked at 5* the first time around that is better than a Marquee event IMO.
It is what it is. Which is a Legendary event.
Right, however, you COULD have had the required units because they were famable WAY before the event not released at the same time
I'm not a whale, but I also don't board the entitlement train. In my opinion the marquee events are a lame hand me out.
Good luck, better suck it up and start farming Phoenix heroes if you want Thrawn.
I mean, the internet is still the internet, after all.
It's not even close.
But it's going to come back at some point! If you could clear every event first go around what would be the challenge? You'd have nothing to work on. It's actually better for the longevity of the game to have it this way.
no, i'm fully aware of the short time, it's still miles better than a marquee event.
If you don't have them at 7*, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
