    Really not sure how this is a cash grab, if i end up going for top 1000 very week, I probably can switch to the $50 packs instead of $100.

    You make the top 1K the week before: you are more likely to buy packs you wouldn’t have bought the week after.

    Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I'm not seeing the "blatant cash grab" aspect of this. A F2P player could FF a 5* the event before it happens via citations and then use it to compete. It makes it cheaper for spenders to FF a card they're chasing because they'll get the first copy from the prior event instead of having to buy it.

    If anything, this would inspire LESS spending from the "fully fuse em" crowd, as far as I can tell.
  • I like this idea in theory however I feel the execution is bad.

    A better execution would be:
    Give both next week and this week, probably starting with next week's at around 2000 to 1500.
    Change to a percentage based rank structure.
  • So, Gloria won't provide a bonus for this week or be in this week's packs, amiright?

    Nog will be in packs and provide a bonus, but he will not be in rewards.

    And after the mega is over there will be a spare hologram looking for an event.

    Okay I'm going to have to think about this. It's weird and doesn't allow you to sit out an event too readily.

    I agree with this. For the $100 spenders, they will be able to spend $50 instead, then $25 on DYC. They will miss out on 5 event packs, but will that really be a concern when saving $25?

    It looks like what @eXo | SilverRose said - they are playing on "fear of missing out" mentality.

  • Wait. @Shan is this like, from now on or just for the mega to try it out?

  • This structure makes little to no sense.

    The way it is setup currently, and even with this update, it appears there is little to no difference in the reward from 1,000 to 25. I don't see how changing the 5* will effect level of effort.

    The way it was described in the announcement post this is everything going forward.

    Well actually skirmish event's performance won't be impacted by this.
  • doesn't allow you to sit out an event too readily.

    That right there is what this looks to be about (or at least it will be the net consequence even if supposedly unintended). Goosing participation in events by awkwardly linking each event with the next one, so if you sit one out you're left at a disadvantage the next week.
  • So confussed, how about some screenshots of the dumpster fire?

    So, no mega legendary in ranked? We get a week before?

    This is just confussed unless you look through the greedy cash grab lens. More and more reasons to uninstall it seems...

    Bad idea, unnecessarily confusing.... the AMOUNT of crew given at each rank needed work a lot more than - whatever this idea is - did
  • I think this will just be confusing.

    But I agree the reward structure is in desperate need of upgrading.

    I guess their thinking is the five star reward won’t help you with the current event since you won’t get it until it’s over. And likely the people at the very top already have it maxed from buying packs.
  • It's not going to help me. I only go for holds of I'm interested in stats or the crew. I don't want one merely for next week's event.

    Also, I want to know the stats I don't want to blindly get a dip/med for no reason at all, and I don't want to chase golds to help me get another gold I may or may not know the stats of.

    And it's like 4 in the morning. I should be sleeping. Wut?

    Regarding stats of the ranked reward 5*, they will be added in the full event notes prior to the event in which they will be the reward.

    Example:
    Next Wednesday the full event notes for the first part of the Mega-Event will be posted.
    These notes will include the stats for the featured event crew and the stats of the 5* ranked reward as well.

    Thank you. Please consider adding the ranked SR and their stats as well.

    We need to have the Mega rewards they were for the past Megas.
    Sweet and straightforward.
    It was better for newer players to at least do better in the later events by 'building up' the Mega character as the weeks went by. Now it seems it's going to be more difficult unless you throw $$$ at the packs to just be able to have a chance at ranking high.
    This is not cool nor fair. Way to try to raise your profits DB and cut the little guys out from your supporting 'whales'
    And just when you though DB was going to try to please EVERYONE, they turn around and do something like this.
    Yes, the legendary threshold was good in the last event, but we didn't have to buy packs to do better in the event.😑😔

    From my perspective, it is a bit confusing especially not knowing stats in advance and doesn’t really address the big problem in the rewards tables (which is basically there are two reward ranks 1-25 and 25-1000).

    Next week is unlikely to have a huge impact on competitiveness as it’s Galaxy the week after so maybe you will get a couple extra rare items because you have a 1/5 Gloria which is not a big deal.

    It will probably have it’s biggest impact on Faction only events the week after as having an additional legendary would help especially if bonus crew is limited (but in the upcoming mega with a zillion holograms, I don’t think it will make much of a difference).

    As a player who seldom goes top 25 but always tries for top 1000 (and only buys packs on faction events using saved DIL from monthly cards), this actually helps a little as you wouldn’t believe how many 1/5 I have that are sitting there because there was no point leveling them post event. Now it means I will likely level characters on Monday after I get them so will mean the backlog of unlevelled characters will likely start to fall to zero. So I guess this is a slight positive as I’ll get some immediate use out of my 1/5 rewards instead of waiting half a year and hope the character or trait shows up in an event again. For example, I’m leveling Captain Nog now in preparation for next week as I left him sitting forever as he is of little use elsewhere.

    Yeah that's kind of what I'm worried about.

    Maybe that's why they've done it.

    Rerun legend in threshold rewards - extra cool!

    Leap frog legendary in ranked rewards every week - currently on the fence checking what state the grass is in

    No change to the 15 - 1000 ranked rewards - awwww that's really REALLY disappointing tbh. Such a fantastic opportunity to have made a really great change that would have pleased a lot of players. Not to mention encouraging additional spending. If I could get 2 copies at say rank 500, I'd spend more money on boosts in factions. I'd buy event packs with cash. Id also be willing to spend my chrons and maybe buy event packs for galaxy because at the moment I don't, I sit them out.

    I think this is geared to encouraging people to participate in events more, and I have to admit I'm a little worried it's going to push those newbies right out the door. They can get a shot at the legendaries that don't have through the roof stats because the veteran players with a million hoarded chrons sit those events out. If nobody knows stats, everyone will rush to the door and newbies wont get a look in, except from really really far away. They already struggle with factions, I pulled 4 event packs last night and didn't get a single Tucker. I'd planned to get an event pack next week (even though its hybrid), but wow, think its going to be a #bloodbath

    I think that about sums it up.
