The 06/24 UPDATE - COMMENTS ***MEGATHREAD!****
Greetings,
What happened this week?
- The Force Champions Event was cancelled. For details please see the post here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/49236/force-champions-event-canceled#latest
- We made some changes to the way Guild Bank Currency is earned and discussed some other changes we’ll be doing in the near future for Guilds: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/49018/addressing-guild-hopping-and-the-raid-rewards-issue#latest
What’s coming next week?
- There will be a new event that we’re aiming to have go live on June 28th (please note that this date could shift slightly). This will be the new Credits event that we had previously mentioned. Here are the details and requirements:

It was free stuff....I enjoyed it. Now it's gone.
Let's be honest, no one above level 10 is hurting on ability mats 1 and 2, or blue and green gear shards.
Those who have been playing for a while are suffocating from the loss of ability mats 3 and omega, credits, and gear pieces that MANY toons need for gear 9 and 10.
I was fine and happy with that.
Goodbye event because people can't be happy with free things.
You had good luck :-)
And they weren't spending because the rewards were so random. Spend crystals and wind up getting 2 blue mats, 2 JC shards and 28k crystals sucks.
Didn't see the problem for a freebie?
These events needed to generate revenue I guess, and people were not refreshing enough. You wanted the free stuff and didn't pay the ticket price.
Poor or not, people will not be happy when one gets LUCKY and gets 500K and the other gets constant 20K credits when doing it.
Edit: please be descriptive in thread titles
Today the team made the decision to turn off the Force Champions: Kit Fisto event. After a number of meetings it was decided that the event was not well received by the community and it was not meeting the level of quality we wanted, so it’s going back to the drawing board.
As a way to apologize for cancelling the event on such short notice we will be sending out 500 Crystals to all players. In addition to this, we will be activating the Omega Battle Event this weekend so that you still have a way to earn some extra credits and ability materials.
NOTE: the Force Champions: Kit Fisto event will end at approximately 8pm Pacific Time.

Greetings,
Today the team made the decision to turn off the Force Champions: Kit Fisto event. After a number of meetings it was decided that the event was not well received by the community making as much money as we would like and it was not meeting the level of quality we wanted. and no one was refreshing because Kit Fisto is Meh, so it’s going back to the drawing board.
As a way to apologize for cancelling the event on such short notice we will be sending out 500 Crystals to all players. In addition to this, we will be activating the Omega Battle Event this weekend so that you still have a way to earn some extra credits and ability materials because we know you ALL need them and will spend mucho deniro on refreshes!!!! mwhahahahahahahah.
So I bet that palpatine and Jedi Luke and the like will be released slowly to keep up. I would prefer this style long term than stale primary/main characters and a year from now only getting some unnamed droid or jar jar
