Like many older players, the event pack was superfluous for me. That said, I dig the idea of the threshold 10x pack being the one for the event instead of the general time portal pack and I'd welcome that becoming an expanded threshold reward at, say, the 400k mark. That would surely stoke greater participation in faction and skirmish events. I expect it would be more difficult to achieve in a faction event, but it would be possible and I think possible-but-difficult is a reasonable condition.
By the time the 400k mark would be hit, is the event pack even of value to those players? Now if it were an event pack for the following week...
In faction and skirmish events the event pack would give players a 45% chance of fusing the new 4*. That's valuable even after the event is over. For a skirmish event the extra star mid event doesn't matter so I'll happily take my chance after the event. And even for a faction event, I'll use a 3/4 during the event and then take my shot at the 4th copy.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking in terms of boosting the stats for the event crew so much as maybe being able to finish fusing them.
But the reason it won't happen is those free packs will reduce the number of packs players buy now. And I assume the reduction in pack purchases will be more than any uptick in competing to reach 400k.
Probably so. A boy can dream.
I have an alternative idea: put a legendary cite in at 400k points for special events. That would be way more worthwhile than 500-1,000 honor and ship schematics.
I always wished that TP would extend the thresholds to a million points, with various valuable rewards in the thresholds, up to and including sizable chunks of honor and citations.
I'd stick it out for a 5* citation, at least in skirmishes!
We did well for total community rewards and got nothing great. It should have been a guaranteed legendary. As it was, I got nothing but 3* crew and 3* schematics. From all the single pulls and duplicate 4* from the last. I know it is a low-probability gamble at best, but it would have been nice to get something for 4 days of earning top 750.
