Is this an oversight?

So I pose this question to everyone about Veteran Chewie and Veteran Han. These toons were introduced to the game back in September via a marquee event, 3 months ago. Now we have the Jedi Training Rey event that requires both toons to be 7* not just to unlock her but to proceed past the 2nd tier of the event. So why was the marquee event not set to replay before the Jedi Training Rey event started? This seems to be an oversight to me that needs explaining. Sure you could say that because they put them in the cantina nodes that meant the marquee event was no longer needed but what about for new players to the game.

it's not an oversight. There's also no reason to think it was an oversight.

One word. Money.

I think marquee events only run once they are never repeated.

jhbuchholz · December 17, 2017 2:16PM

Have they ever rerun a marquee event?

Garmaddon · December 17, 2017 2:16PM

Not that I am aware of

Huatimus · December 17, 2017 2:16PM

All marquee events have never been repeated.

Garmaddon · December 17, 2017 2:18PM

You literally need to stock pile resources leading up to these events to put yourself in with a chance. The vets are only needed up until tier V of the event which is why people can't access tier 2 without them being 7*

Roahn · December 17, 2017 2:19PM

So how many marquee events have there been in the game so far and for what toons?

Jetlife · December 17, 2017 2:20PM

Events like these are not meant for newer players. It’s simple. Now I’ve down my fair share of RPG games and I know that when I see heroic or mythic difficulty, it will be very hard and it’s something that isn’t made for new players. It’s meant for top teir players.
Now this being a turn based game, figuring we can all read, this isn’t a “hard” game. So the only way for EA to make a “hard” event, is to put in hard/long to obtain toons

Garmaddon · December 17, 2017 2:21PM

They run them periodically last couple were kylo unmasked and mother talzin. They tend to be for premium toons that are predominantly pay to play that unlock at 3 to 4*

Roahn · December 17, 2017 2:31PM

If Chewie and Han weren't put in the cantina nodes then the marquee event would have been required before the Jedi Training Rey event. As the R2D2 event should be required before the next CLS event.

The marquee event has nothing to do with the jedi training rey event. Most new characters get released via marquee events. That the vets turned out to be an requirement for another event has nothing to do with how they were released.

As others have pointed out, Marquee Events don't rerun. R2 is a Legendary event. Here is a list of most of the events (with event type noted): https://swgoh.gg/db/events/

A marquee event is different than a legendary.. marquee are a one and done event. They give free toons and in the future those toons will become free to play, you just have to farm them.
Legendary are not a one and done event. They come back because you have to work to be able to beat it.
Marquee are easy events and a way to give away the base toon. If you missed it, the first time, that’s on you. Just like how you missed rey

If you really wanted her, you would of bought her. It’s all on you

Is it really that simple? New players expand the player base and possibly come into the game with money to spend. Which getting new players and keeping the cash flow going is what it's all about. If not then this game would be doomed as with no new players, the veteran players would eventually get disinterested in the game and stop playing.

New players will accept that they're not able to complete all events, or they spend money.
Also, with the vets, they were a panic farm for new and old players alike. So there's that.

Jetlife · December 17, 2017 2:43PM

Have you ever played any other RPG before? Yes I’m right... all games have end game content. This is end game content.. it’s simple..
These 5 characters are needed; farm them and compete in the event...
I’ll say it again.
Yea, it’s simple..

That would make sense if you didn't need both toons to be 7* to get past the 2nd tier.

Jetlife · December 17, 2017 2:45PM

If you don’t want end game content. (Lightsaber rey)..

Be happy with your mid game content..
(Rey with stick)..

Or show patience and hold onto your cash as this event will come back around in a few months and after all it's just a game.

If i remember correctly it was Krennic. Deathtrooper. Sithtrooper, sith assassin, Nihlus, Phoenix, Gar saxon + imperial super commando, Fulcrum tano, then the vets and finally Nightsister spirit/zombie and mother talzin ( I may be forgetting a few )

I think new players already know that. Although to be fair new players should be able to play the marquee events just to help get them started on their quest. If they choose to work towards being able to attempt to get a hero or legendary toon down the road.

Comes down to the last month to make any 4 th QTR earnings for the year and capitalize on the movie . They simply set it up more now for new players to only ramp up by paying. I love the game so I do support it by buying a pack of something every now and then , but don't see my self spending big money like they have set up . So when it comes to events only now and then not surprised. This is why I almost ignore the current events and focus on ones I missed due to lack of shards. That way I'm ready months ahead.

New player? Check out the new player index

Is this an oversight?
