Did we forget about the bounty hunters??

April last year we got the galactic bounty event, then in August galactic bounties 2. In four months we got 2 of these events, but today, 10 months later we've still only got the 2. Should we expect more as they said they'd periodically change the rewards, or has that Bounty hunter hype fizzled/died and that's that?

Solid points. Theres a handful of characters I want to farm, but do not to "waste" time or miss out on the big things.
No hope on Wampa for BH title unless they add them to a Geo battle which I’d doubt
Hehe yeah that's a possibility as well
And that’s exactly the problem with the current state of the game.
Don’t farm teams you want to farm - don’t have a play style that you want to play - play this way and only this way because EA has mandated such.
You are free to farm anything you want.
That’s not a problem with the game, that’s a problem with the player. Farm the folks you want to farm. Sure, I “only” finish arena in the 100-200 bracket, but once you realize that arena doesn’t matter it’s fine.
So get you Ur’rrrRRRrrr and do Tuskens. Who cares? In 100 years we’ll all be dead and no one will care that you finished #1, but you’ll DEFINITELY care that you did what you wanted to tomorrow.
First in arena daily doesn’t matter?
Crystals don’t matter?
If having elite teams doesn’t matter then why do people spend thousands on this game?

Yes - don’t play how you want to play now! Instead, play to win arena, so you can get additional resources that will allow you to... play how you originally wanted to play... later?
And also complain a lot.

Once again you've missed the point.
So... you’re using the most recent p2w team to get first in arena and that’s *dis*proving my point... how exactly?
That’s exactly the point I’m making.
You wouldn’t be using DRevan were he not able to crush everything else in arena. Just like everyone else. The entire game is designed around this premise, and that’s how they make their money. No diversity, no skill, no innovation, just insert credit card and basically use pre-made templates for success.
People play to win.
Are you not getting this premise?
Losing is not “fun” no matter which team you’re using.
You’re proving my point over and over but you’re not grasping it.
What do they win?
I didn't have to, I wanted to. And I spent $30.
If you don't want to, you don't have to. There's more to the game than just arena.
Since you are resorting to childish insults, this will be my last response.
You're correct, but you're also completely wrong. We can farm whichever toon we want, and our reward will be enjoyment in some pve events, but otherwise our arena rank and fleet rank will plummet. Additionally, legendary events will be impossible without the forced required toons.
To your point though, I use to strive each day to finish top 50 in arena. However, the JKR mirror matches cause me so much frustration I have lowered my expectations and just go for top 100. Easy to do and I don't need to use all 5 attempts. So, yes farm who you want and play how you want, but there are crystal consequences.
Crystals, which they then can use to enhance their roster and develop other teams they want.
Why do you think people spend thousands of dollars playing this game if not for the exact reason to gain a marked advantage over others? That’s the whole premise and money making scheme that EA/CG has concocted.
It’s a “childish insult” to point out that you’re spending money to advance in the game, which is the exact point i’m making.
If you’re getting upset, that’s on you - I can’t control your emotional reaction to what we’re discussing.
Contradicts "Resource Management"
Crystals don't matter. I would probably have to spend two or three hundred dollars in order to take #1 reliably, how long do you think it would take to recoup that expense? And then, on top of that, now I have to spend in order to maintain that rank. How long until I recoup that recurring expense?
Having elite teams doesn't matter. None of this matters. Your g12 Darth Malak isn't going to ward away diseases or protect you from an air conditioner that falls out of a high window. He won't find you love or raise your children. Why do people spend thousands on this game? To fill the hole in their soul that isn't filled by something more meaningful. Because it's easier to farm for Darth Revan's return than it is to realize that none of this matters in the slightest and it's all just a thing to keep us occupied as we march to the grave.
I love this game. I love the Star Wars movies and board games and lore, I've never read the novels but I'd probably like those if I did. But I'm not going to say that this actually matters for anything more than just a fun thing to do when I wake up in the morning and give me something to talk to a lot of my friends about when I see them.
I don't play to win. You may, and that's good for you, and I hope that you one day get enough crystals that you're finally happy in the real world. Losing is fun. Losing is fun because it means I'm doing something different instead of checking boxes that some guy on youtube told me were important and then getting mad because the next update means I need to check off different boxes. Losing is fun because it means I don't have huge stockpiles of gear and characters at level 1. Losing is fun because when I find a team that I like (such as Galactic Republic now, for example) and start winning it means I did it on my own merits.
No, that's the trap you've fallen into because you live an unexamined life. People spend thousands of dollars on the game for one of two reasons--
1) They can afford it. Look, if you're happy and you can afford it, then go to town. You think Bill Gates would think twice about dropping a grand to get a character he really wanted? He'd do that, he'd use them for fleet or arena or a raid, and then he'd put the game down and go live his life and come back in the morning to do the dailies again.
2) They're miserable and buying something gives them some fleeting momentary pleasure they so-desperately need.
The majority of players aren't unhappy, but also aren't spending a boatload of money. Using myself as an example, I barely spend anything. There was a point earlier this year that I realized I hadn't spent anything in so long, but I wanted to support the game that I'd been playing this long, so I wound up waiting for some marquee release that I honestly can't even remember any more. I bought it just because I feel if you play a game for however many hours I have and it isn't going to break the bank, kick in a couple bucks. I would never begrudge someone who didn't pay anything, nor would I begrudge someone who was miserable and simply spending to feel better--it's your life, do what you want. Farm what you want. You'll still be dead in 100 years.
Games I had on that platform? Tetris. Tetris 2. Dr. Mario. Yoshi (a falling block game, not a platformer). Qix.
These games all end the same. You lose. Every single time. There is not a win condition. You do not play to win. You play to play, because the gameplay is fun. Ganbatte is a valid gameplay mode.
There is no win condition to Galaxy of Heroes. The primary mode of play is progression and aspiration. If you're coming to a game without a win condition with a mindset of trying to win, you're gonna have a bad time.
