Bounty Hunter Event [MERGE]

Replies

  • Nice to see CG really loves their "community" by making another event only those two YouTube guys can do. Does every event have to be nerfed so hard CG? This thread alone is telling you that people are fed up and just about done. Your RNG is set in your favor to get us to pay for everything. I thought you would have learned after Battelfront 2 but I guess you have to make those lost millions up somewhere.

    Hi. You must be tired after waking up from a six month coma, but after you've regained your wits you should take a look at the packs available now. There's no randomness to the ones you buy directly with money, and the ones with randomness are bought with crystals, which are freely given as a reward for playing the game, though if you want more you can optionally buy them.

    Now go back to the game and enjoy some challenging content that you're going to beat because it's really not *that* hard, you just haven't prepared for it enough because of the coma, then get a big ol breakfast with lots of protein to replace what you lost after your accident.

    Is this a translation issue?
    This might mean nothing to you, but it might mean everything to the people who get it, but I'm pretty sure Boburt Fettman is his Mimico Name.
    (Although I think it would actually be Bobby Fettman or Bobsie Fettman.)

    I mean come on folks its been out for 12 hrs and already posts about cash grabs and giving us this and not giving us what we want. Lol!! Cg has done a lot of bad things in the past for cash grabs but honestly this is probably the most friendly f2p event anyone could ask for. If they dropped this event same day as bossk maybe id say cash grab, If it was impossible to do without original bh cast. Fact is its absolutely doable. I was able to clear paploo with a gr9 boba and everyone else g8. And 3 starred it. Got my **** handed to me on wampas mission. Cg is notorious for saying an event is doable at "recommended gear score of x" and it being way harder. Ipd mission anyone?! But this seems they got the recommended gear score right at least for the early ones so far.

    Cg well done i like the new event and look forward to the next contract event hopefully it isn't as super rare "whatever that means" as its tag suggests.

    Someone be brownnosing.

    What was the rest of your squad @Mr_Eel

    G8 Greedo, G8 Cad, no 5th. The G8 characters get one or two shotted in all events.
  • I struggled with Paploo one but did it after a bit of gearing up etc.
    What we have to remember is that this event will be coming back and it is just a way of earning "bonus" shards.
    Also I guess most people haven't unlocked all the new BH abilities or geared them up as much as other factions. So it may be 2nd or 3rd time around before anyone can get through most of the tiers.

    I Googled that and the first few results were:

    1) Neighborhood in Ontario
    2) A band named after the neighborhood
    3) A cruising club :o

    But yeah, I don't know what it means.

  • I know there was a rework on BH's, but IG88 seems alot weaker?

    I think it’s a mix of lower damage for BH.
    Higher armor, tenacity, defense for the empire toons.

    Not sure I understand, please explain..?

    Ps. I like the new bh reworks. I do hear complaints about a possible ig88 nerf hopefully that gets a once over.

    Yeah...people complaining about overpowered AOE damage, and pathetically underwhelming damage from the reworked BH is actually a legitimate concern. Mine are way undergeared outside of Boba and 88 and I won’t be focusing on them anytime soon because I refuse to pander to another cash grab character like bossk. I’ll keep focusing on empirs, NS and farming Matt and DT.

    The belittling of legitimate complaints about damage output from the AI and against it? Naaaaaah.

    There's a moderately popular hockey podcast called the Steve Dangle Podcast. A long time ago Don Cherry mispronounced "Theo Peckham" as "Teddy Peckman" and that birthed a long running gag about players having different names in Mimico, ON.

    To Mimico a name, just add -y to the first name if it ends in a consonant, -er if it ends in a vowel, and -man to the last name. Luker Skywalkman!

    Strange. My own g7 characters could take a few hits. I did have a fifth (and Zam helped) but my best Bh was a g9 IG88, G8 Boba and Cad, then g7 Zam and Greedo. I won with Zam dead and the rest doing fine

    Are you talking about 88 in general or just in terms of the bounty hunter event?

    In terms of the event- all my BH damage is very low. So that means their damage has been lowered (with the omegas on their contracts I hear they do a lot more damage.)

    And/or the enemies in the event are suped up with tenacity , defense, armor ratings. Maybe that’s what is causing the low damage- or the Bh damage has been lowered or both.

    Hi. You must be tired after waking up from a six month coma, but after you've regained your wits you should take a look at the packs available now. There's no randomness to the ones you buy directly with money, and the ones with randomness are bought with crystals, which are freely given as a reward for playing the game, though if you want more you can optionally buy them.

    This is like saying that gambling with cryptocurrency isn’t gambling because you can mine for it and it isn’t cash. Crystals are a medium of exchange purchasable with money, and therefore gambling with crystals is gambling with money. Belgium agrees, others will follow.

    The Paploo event is very doable. I don't have anybody but Boba above G7 and I could do it pretty easily. He's the only one left, but still.

    Gambling with crypto IS a gambling just because you can cash out any time.

    Buying with crystals is not gambling by the obvious reason that as long as you bought crystals they cost nothing in terms of fiat currency and can’t be cashed out.

    I am 13 away from even unlocking solo, so I am happy with this daily login.
  • Bossk will be needed for survivability in the event, especially for Wampa.

    I managed to beat the IPD twice but it took multiple tries.

    G12 Boba, Greedo, Dengar, 88, and G11 Zam.

    Tried all the different leads but Boba’s was the only I could do any damage with and keep up with the insane speed and TM of the enemies.

    The tuning on this event is crazy though.

    One try on IPD I had zBoba vs Shoretrooper.

    Boba had the contract bonus and has the bayonet Armatek gear but he still lost hard to Shoretrooper.

    That’s just insane.

    I don’t understand how they cost nothing in fiat money. They cost $19.99 for 2,800. They have a market value that does not change. Just because they give away a few hundred a day does not change that value. I can understand why someone would think that the inability to cash them out establishes them as something other than money, but that is disingenuous. In fact, it makes the problem worse because the gambler can get no return. We regulate gambling in society because of destructive psychological and social issues that arise from it. I don’t have that problem, but the addiction is certainly going to be fed in a lot of players today. It’s wrong, and it should be regulated.

    The problem is that the Armor on the enemies on the event is very high, and in general BHs have relatively low armor penetration until they get to g12 and can equip a bayonet (most of them need one, except bossk and cad). Dengar & Greedo both have AP's in the 130's at g12. Before that they're in the 70s, and both are a pretty tough gear - Dengar needs tons of carbs and Greedo tons of cuffs (perhaps the most in the game). 88 in particular has only 27 AP until G12, and Cad has 39 total even at g12.
    It looks like Fett's contract payout omega could really help, tripling his AP to 309 at g12. As a reference, a maxed Vader has 36.8% armor, and swgoh.gg lists his armor as 371. An AP of 309 should reduce his armor by over 80%, down to a mere 6% of damage absorbed.

    Wampa is doable, but needs a hundreds of tries.

    I see your points here.

    But inability to cash out and transfer between players make key difference here. No material return as well ... though there is emotional one :)

    For those reasons App Store is full of casinos, roulettes and slots.

    And some examples from daily live that is conceptually on par with SWGOH crystals:

    1) attractions in parks where you buy attempts and then depending on some luck can get toys in return

    2) buying pack of kinder surprise ... lol! You can get so lucky with the toons you like inside or as unlcuky as you ever imagined with couple unwanted duplicates!

    The Hunters were always one of my favorite teams, but I feel as if they've all been seriously nerfed in this rework.. The contract system is awesome, but they suddenly CAN'T do all the damage that they used to.. I figured they would get better, but it seems less effective now. I even do less damage in raids, even after activating contracts..
  • Is this where I come to cry that my G12 boba and then the rest of my G8 bounty hunters can’t beat the hardest tier?

    To those complaining about the supposed recommended gear levels for each tier....welcome to the forums! You've just learned a valuable lesson, which is that the recommendations are useless. It's not just this event either, there's plenty of events where the minimum recommended gear or mods or level is pointless. Ignore it.

    Those of you who are not new to the forums and are still complaining about this? Get over it. And ignore it. The minimum requirement is whatever it takes you to beat it, not what some text that usually isn't accurate tells you. Pretend it doesn't exist, you'll be happier. :)
    I would say the « recommended levels » have always been subject to having arena-grade mods and full abilities (at least all omega’s, and even a useful zeta). With more average mods and missing some omega’s, required gear increases.
    It was exactly that with the Endor event whose name eludes me (Forrest Assault ? Something like that). With the adequate team comp, good mods and abilities (namely, Imperial Troopers), it was a piece of cake even at lower gear levels. Without the good toons, mods, abilities, you needed a much higher gear level to succeed.
