Emospiderman Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Every month, we see the same in game event: Bounty Contract Week. It is boring, repetitive, and the rewards havent been good/cool since the first time it came out. Right now, we have ONE method of obtaining BoL lightsabers and OH's: the Gree Event. I know the upcoming 2.8 in game event will have BoL lightsabers, but what the heck is the point of adding/updating the BoL OH's purchasable from the Gree faction vendor if you're going to keep not bringing the event back so people can obtain the rep/currency necessary to buy them? Its been nearly six months since the last Gree event, and I'd bet im not the only one sick of seeing the bounty contract week come and go when its the same stale content it was a year ago. TL;DR version: Devs, stop being lazy, bring back the Gree Event. No one cares about bounty contract week. It's crap, as are the rewards. A good portion of your customer base plays lightsaber-wielding classes: give us more options to get the gear we need/want, or risk losing customers. kthx.

Frankly, I think they should bring back a different event every month at the time of bounty contract week. That should spice things up a bit.

Bejarid Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 As I recall, the Gree event will be coming back soon, sometime between when 2.8 launches and 2.9 launches. Don't think there's been any more concrete timetable than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaBos Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 "NO ONE cares about the bounty contract event." Apparently you speak for all of us? I still like the bounty contract week. I only do that event on my merc because it doesn't make sense to have Jedi or sith doing this (I use my trooper only for Coruscant/Order Mantell kingpins). For that reason I haven't even got legend status. The result: I can still be entertained by the event while others are complaining that they burned through the event too quickly. I like that the gree event is rare, it forces us to grind for it which makes it more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaBos Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 What I really want to know is, when is the rakghoul resurgence event coming back? That event was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediRelentless Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Devs, stop being lazy, bring back the Gree Event. No one cares about bounty contract week. First of all, if you want the Devs to respect your opinion then don't insult them by calling them lazy. Secondly, don't speak for everyone. I always participate in the Contract Event and I see a steady flow of players at the mission terminal. I'm sure BW knows exactly how many of it's players participate in these events. I believe the Contract Event was designed to occur monthly. More characters can take part in the Bounty Event than the Gree Event. The Bounty Event has fewer daily missions than the Gree Event, right? So that may be another reason why one happens monthly and the other is less often. Plus, the Gree Event ran for many weeks before they created the Bounty Event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elly_Dawn Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 hate to break it to you but, i care, ergo your statement is fallacious... considering i keep missing when it starts and only get a couple days in on it, i haven't collected any of the rewards and whatnot yet, so yes i care and actually wish it was constant and never went away for 3 weeks every month... 7 days is not enough when i keep missing the first 4 or 5, while doing other things not realizing that Bounty Contract Week has started under my radar yet again...

MaximusRex Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 What I really want to know is, when is the rakghoul resurgence event coming back? That event was fun The rakghoul plague has been totally eliminated from the galaxy! Not a chance it survived at all! Also, OP, I'm a lightsaber wielding class, and you don't speak for me.

Also, OP, I'm a lightsaber wielding class, and you don't speak for me. I read that post and it sounded sarcastic, that event will probably be back eventually. He said we'd see so and so events BETWEEN 2.8 -2.9, so the rakghoul event will probably be back sometime in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaraExas Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 i don't particularly enjoy it. but i know my guildies participates in it frequently. i would like to see the other events more often then they have been. maybe once every other month. Really hope the new nar shaddaa one is recurring. would also like to see newer events also when time and resources allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest to refrain from making assumptions on what I do or do not like or care about. Although that is probably asking too much from you. As it happens I DO care about bounty week and couldn't care less about the Gree event. So please stop equating your opinion to be the those of everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaesha Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'll admit this bounty week I didn't much care to do but the previous one I did a lot so please don't make assumptions like you know what we are all thinking. That said I would prefer something other then the bounty week every month, if you do the same event over and over again eventually people will get bored of it and stop caring.

errant_knight Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The bounty contract event is fine, it just needs new content. What all the cycling events need is to be less predictable. The first gree event was far more fun than any event that came after. It was spontaneous and had developing story which made it great. It also had unique gear that you got from participating right then, not saving up from times it met your schedule in future. I'm really sick of reputation gear, frankly. Just give the the damn gear for questing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syinnine Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 bring back the Gree event amen to that. That event is such a good time. The bounty weekend stuff i could really pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_riches Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Personally, I have been "missing" the bounty contract weeks with my characters, since most of my characters I have been playing recently have been sub - level 15, so now they are to the level I wound like to start running them, plus the Gree Event is level 55 I believe (I may be mistaken), my closest character is level 53. a lot of people playing the game don't have level 55 characters so a Gree Event leaves out a lot of people who cant take part (I know I have never been able to do any of the previous Events because of this but would like the legacy weapons to transfer mods etc between alts.).

Braggalo Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Personally, I'd like to see the gree event back on schedule as well as the Rakghoul event. Both could be strewn in more frequently Bounty Hunter over and over again tends to be a little boring. More change would certainly more entertaining.

ChroniKill Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Bounty week once was ok at first, but every month for a week a month? Why not put the Rakghoul, gree and bounty week on a cycle. That way each gets a week every quarter. Much less likely to get boring. Edited June 1, 2014 by ChroniKill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane_Ren Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) You are wrong OP, I like it. Therefore your 'no one' statement is false. Even more wrong with every post that disagrees with you. Edited June 1, 2014 by Kane_Ren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starglitter Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Mmm... Here is the problem with both the Bounty and Gree events, in both cases you earn currency to buy in my case legacy items, Gree in particular for off-hands. Since there are no alternate way, such as reputation at Oricon to get the legacy items and off-hand items, it places pressure on people to do these two activities to get access to special items. Because there is more dialy need of the items envolved in reputation vendors for these events, it does not make sense to me to have this event limited to a single week a month for the Bounty, and even less for the quaterly at best for the Gree. I for one would support to see alternating these two events on a weekly basis. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalLowlife Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I just got my bounty rep high enough to ACTUALLY buy something last month. I had enough completed contracts to get the armor, belt, gloves, bracers & pants. I still need another rep lvl before I can buy the hat & boots (and hopefully unlock the outfit for my legacy). I do want to see what the Gree event is about tho. I just got a lvl 55, so I've NEVER done it b4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
