GL Event Tickets

Replies

  • So @CG_SBCrumb and @CG_TopHat let me get this straight, because I think I’m in some kind of weird bizarro world.
    You’re gating the GL behind relic gear grinds to start out. 26 toons will be required so you have 26 toons needing relics. Most of which aren’t even G12 yet so massive gear sink all around.
    Then you’re adding a ticket threshold on attempts to even play the event? Given your history with overtuning things that required countless retries for good RNG that’s also putting a time block on it too.

    So in effect you’ve place a gear gate, a ticket gate and a time gate on it as well and mixed all that with your usual RNG in these events. So even krakens and whales will be limited? Or will you make this even FURTHER P2P by selling ticket packs for the attempts?

    I truly can’t understand you devs and complete disconnect with your community and paying customers. Just when I think you guys can’t sink any lower or get more baffling with your thought process you continue to prove me wrong. Bravo.
  • i’m just glad that they’re showing their hand and true faces in this one single event so we don’t have to wait on a whole year of slow abuse from the pure definition of greedy.

    we know their entire angle (always kinda have) but now with extra ways above and beyond the already ridiculous waste of resources on terrible characters with these tickets, what other imaginative ways do they even have left to take more fun out of this game and keep the long awaited “new content” from 99% of the players?
  • This whole role out of GL I was “ok” with albeit quite tone deaf but now adding in these event tickets is just asinine. Have you all read anything? Watched anything? What has brought you the idea that after the past month or two of this roll out that “hey let’s put another barrier” against getting them would be a good idea?

    Maybe those tickets are to prevent people to retry the event 1000 times in a row like the GAS event until they get the perfect RNG to beat the event.
    Now everytime we fail we need to get a new ticket to try again...

    The need for high relics as requisit already take care of that.
    This tickets is just another useless gate
  • Isn’t it obvious what’s happening here? This is their “content” for the rest of the year. This unending grind for GL allows CG devs to step away from the game and still have another year or two life cycle.

    Just to eventually have a character. Talk about whale milking and dragging out no content being released.
    I’m not sure why they are too hesitant of giving a full character unlock on day one, and keep trying to drag a character’s unlock over months

    Probably to make up the fact that they don’t have any other new content ready for release / planned so they have to drag these characters out for as long as possible

    I wouldn’t be surprised tbh we haven’t gotten anything besides a time-locked Capital ship for and RH Poe which isn’t farmable yet since the start of the new year
  • What if we're not reading this right... What if the tickets are not for the GL character event... But for the new raid? Meaning you'll produce raid tickets for your guild ONLY if you have a GL or maybe both???

    Hahahahaha heheheh!!!!
    When I started a thread about how sneaky the devs are being by eating away at our gear by needing all these relic characters and the forums came back at me saying “oh how can you say that, they are telling us months in advance so how is that sneaky??””
    Oh the sweet sweet crocodile tears!!
    Nom nom nom nom nom lol 😂 😂 😂

    Time gating on top of excessive gear gating? Are you kidding me?

    Have you guys gone mental?

    Are you trying to kill this game?


    So here are some thoughts I have on possibilities for how these tickets will work. NOTE: I do not like any of these. These are just speculative scenarios. I think this is a terrible idea. I think GL in general is a terrible idea. I think CG have completely lost their minds.

    Scenario A) Tickets get you attempts per day. Number of attempts to be determined by how many tickets a person can earn in a single day. If I had to guess, I would think they'll be stingy with the tickets and put them in your daily log completion bonus chest, which means 1 ticket per day after you complete your log. That's my guess for how the'll ration tickets.

    Scenario B.) Each try gets you a small number of shards. At which case, this would actually become a triple gated event. Gear gated, time gated, and shard gated.

    Scenario C) Save up enough tickets to unlock access to the event. A one time entry fee. Not a good solution, but out of the 3 scenarios that I've thought of, this one is the least bad. Of course, if they go with this option, the buy-in price of tickets will be something ridiculous, like 100 tickets needed to unlock the event. And if my scenario A is true, that would be 100 days just to gain entry.


    Anyway. This whole thing is terrible and CG you guys should feel bad for having such terrible ideas. You need to go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

    Careful, now you're doing their work for them.

    Email going out right now at CG.

    Folks,

    No need to show up for the Tuesday morning ticket planning meeting. Design options listed above, please send your preferred option to me by Thursday so I can make a decision before the company ping pong tournament on Friday.

    Cheers

  • i haven’t put anything in since the first release of GAS. maybe a few bucks here or there before. got gas free second time.. won’t put anything in for this at all. hopefully not again. i’d like my freedom back lol
  • So what happened to those statements a while back where they wanted to build towards a "rock paper scissors" meta? I guess they figure paper, scissors, then an actual asteroid wiping the other two out is close enough eh?

    The rock is an asteroid and the scissors is a laser sword.

    Get your tickets ladies and gentlemen! For the greatest show on the earth!

    Actually I'm cool with this.....will prevent players from simply doing hundreds of attempts and instead force real strategy possibly

    Now there is a reason to Not sit on the gear.

    CG is basically forcing anyone, who wants tickets, to gear the prerequisite chars now.

    Clever gurl.

    Not true. You need all the quests/requirements done. You can still hold your gear till all of the details are out. Don’t fall into the trap lol

    Nope, GL tokens. And you have to buy them with tickets.

  • It's stupid. If someone wants to drop 100K to get GL rey/kylo within a few weeks of starting why not let them?

    Aren’t the quests/requirements “Bring So And so to R5-7?”

    What gear are you saving?

    CG wants to see how close everyone is so they can plan ahead....hence these dumb tickets. Everyone wanted to save as long as possible. Possibly see which GL is better... But now you can’t, if you want those tickets.

    Until all the reqs are out, you can’t collect the tickets. So until it’s all released, still no point to spend the resources
  • Question: let’s say a player is ready only for GL Rey but not for GL Kylo.
    Can that player start to collect tickets which could be used for both GL Rey and GL Kylo?
    Or is there tickets for Rey only and other tickets for Kylo only ?
