You Were Not Prepared

Unpopular opinion: Those who've played the game long enough, paid to win, and now have issues about the difficulty of the Darth Revan event don't get to complain.
This is the way CG has handled majorly popular characters for a while now, and considering that this was one of the most demanded characters since the game launched, all of this is nothing unexpected. As always the only difference between you not having and having that character in your roster is time.
If you're kicking yourself because CG took all your Republic credits and you still can't get Revan 1) you should have known better, and 2) whaling is never worth it. If you don't get Revan this time around, take it as an opportunity for growth. There's more strategy to the game than you realize, and you may actually have fun trying to find a team that can take down Revan in all his Sith Empire goodness.

Gear has always been the Wall not the star count. The Toons have been farmable for awhile with the gear requirements as well. So There was time to get ready if you paid attention.
It just required you to read the abilities. I admit, I failed 3 times before reading. After I did I beat it easily the 4th time.
10 days (3 of them unplanned) is not substantial, not when they cut the number of farmable nodes in half as compared to JKR.
Besides, how is that a balance when we didn't know what the difficulty was going to be? The "extra" time was only useful to help prepare if people actually spent it farming gear for those characters.
I made it through, and the only hardship was needing to use some gear and drop a zeta on Carth earlier than I had planned. But it's objectively absurd how differently they treated the light and dark versions of Revan. Especially when you consider that most reports are that DR is significantly underpowered compared to the much easier to obtain JKR.
Yeah, even with Tier 5 my only real problem was keeping Bastila alive. Once she was dead, I was toast, and half the time I couldn't even keep her alive through stage 3, let alone 4.
I found one: JKR

If you've truly refreshed 3 times every day on Carth since his node release and you're only at 5* you've had a garbage drop rate.
so, you want that DR is handled the same way like JKR? than drop 500 bucks and make cg make a easy leg journey just for you....
CLS is way harder than farmer Luke. They are both the same guy.
From the point of the lore you were right. from the point of a game you are a little bit off
The part where you essentially compare fbluke to jkr is amusing ....
Given what everyone is saying about drevan right now it would be a better comparison if fbLuke was much harder to farm than cls....
Uhm, you had two farms crammed into cantina. One of them was a 16 energy node. There was no way doing it without spending 200 crystal refreshes. You also had to refresh ship energy and normal nodes, so you were easily spending more than 1000 crystals each day just to barely make it in time.More likely you had to packs to finish them off.
This time I spent 600 crystals for refreshes each day and I comfortably made it on day one. If this isn't substantial to you, you probably don't know what substantial is. Everyone who tried to farm the required toons for DR will make it in time. So I don't mind a gear check
If you can't figure out what to do after just reading that, I don't know what to tell you.
Everything after him is a cakewalk.
Lol I think people that paid before the event have every right to be upset. It’s like going to a restaurant and the waiter says “that will be $20.” Then after paying he says “no wait it’s $30...no $50...no it’s $70.”
Where else in the business world can you charge someone for something and then provide them nothing?
Tell us the gear requirements up front. If we don’t like it, we can complain, but at least we know before we purchase.
I was considering paying money for this event, but I won’t now. And if this is how CG will perform its business in the future, they will get no more money from me.
Good call. This event converted me from Kraken to dolphin. Spent a fortune trying to catch up to the people who have been here 5x longer. Not worth it. This event probably saves me thousands this year
They aren't though; farmboy Luke is the character at the start of his "journey." CLS is after he is using a lightsaber. JKR and DR are two alternate versions of the character at the *exact same* point in his story.
Ever hear of gambling?
