P2P shafted with malak release?
I don’t plan ahead too well and always end up p2p’ing for major events like cls, jtr, JKR, DR and then DM which I would rather not but I don’t mind when it gives you a significant advantage.
Revan coming back too soon is a kick in the teeth after spending on that but the worse one is malak.
I’ve not spent any GE tokens except for on malak since his release, and I’m still 25 shards short from 7*. With their being a huge delay in TB recently, he’ll be released again within a few days of me 7*ing.
So where was the so called p2p advantage if we can barely even get to 7* before he’s re released?
Those who didn’t unlock knew to save their GE currency so they’ll 7* immediately. Bit harsh imo and I’ll have to re evaluate before considering ever spending on these events again.
Curious on other players thoughts on this.

He did say that he doesn’t plan ahead well.
Jrevan returning after 110 days
I'll take 10 days early over 20 days late anyday. If you delayed this 20 days, then you are delaying Malak all the way to August. No thanks. Bring on the DR.
Except GA doesn't give GET so I'm not sure how that would have any bearing on this post.
Facts, logic, thought, bah! Where do you think you are?
That's %4.61 of that population slice. You call that p2p getting shafted?
You don’t need an exclusive time with 7* Malak. He annihilates at 5*. And no, people are not just gonna get Malak and 7-star him in a week. It takes a lot of GET. There were a lot of people here that had been saving GET for weeks before the first Malak release anyway.
F2P think that they got screwed over with Malak, P2P think they got screwed over with Malak... man. CG can’t please anyone, can they?
Understood, but has he been announced again? If so I missed it.
Also their exclusive time has been the last X days - whenever he was released to now, right?
DRevan returns right on time. His first appearance was delayed.
When is Malak scheduled to return?
Malak owners have had a huge advantage in both arena and GA. What are you on about.
I'm sure, you bought some nice gear with those GET, which you benefitted from.
Furthermore, it had been rumored/hinted long before Malak was announced, that we would need GET for a new character in the shop.
You didn't use him because you didn't want to, it's only you to blame...
Did you read what I said? I didn’t use him because I refuse to spend another $100 just to gear him up. AND I don’t have enough GET tokens to even 6* him. If I pay $400 to unlock a character, I expect him to be 7*.
They told you how his shards would be earned before you spent any money. I'm confused as to your expectations.
Then you would p2p you’re way to winning.
Please find me the post where they clearly stated “Malak will unlock at 5* and you will have to farm the rest up to 7* from the guild events store”. Please find for me, where exactly they said that. There was a lot of confusion when he was announced about how he would be unlocked, where it was 7* or not. They were not 100% clear on how Malak would unlock, they were also not forthcoming about having to spend $100+ just to gear him up. Try and blame me or the players all you want, it was a scummy move.

They pretty clearly stated he would unlock at five stars, and that you would earn additional shards in the guild events store. I'm totally agreeing that CG normally isn't the best at communication, but this was seriously not one of those cases. If you really want to go "but they didn't specifically say you could only get him to five stars in the event!!", that's completely on you, not on CG.

In it they state directly that he unlocks at 5 and will be available in the GET store after unlock.
The confusion at the time was more for F2P players as to whether he’d be available to all from the store or if it was just for the players who unlocked him (spoiler alert: it was the players who unlocked him)
Correct, it does. It does not say he will unlock at 5* and you have to pay for the rest. It says, he will unlock at 5* and then he will appear in the GET store. This could mean that you can unlock him at 5* in the event and then buy the rest. Nowhere does it say “you can only obtain 5* through the event”. The way they worded it was that it could be 7 tiers, unlocks at 5* and if you can’t complete the rest you can buy them. Again, that’s not on me.
Looks like you got your answer. Doesn't look all that scummy to me.
Bit of a fail there, yeah?
They also clearly stated that the event would have two phases, not seven like you suggest they worded it as.
