DarthEnrique Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) So do you just log in and queue for a flashpoint or what's the deal? It seems too simple to get both a droid and a title. Edited June 3, 2017 by DarthEnrique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEnrique Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm going to quote the article I'm sure there's something I'm missing. From Friday, June 2 through Sunday, June 4, jump into Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and join the Galactic Defender Event to celebrate EA’s Play to Give program. Through Play to Give, we’re celebrating the importance of inclusion and play and the positive connections it makes for all the diverse players around the world. Help us celebrate what everyone in our galactic community contributes to our galaxy! This weekend, team up with friends new and old in battles across the galaxy and get rewarded*: All players who log in during the Play to Give campaign receive the new ‘PL-2G Defender’ Battle Droid mini-pet. Plus, if players join with 1 or more friends in 1 million or more total group activities across the SWTOR galaxy, all players who log in during the Play to Give campaign will also receive the ‘Galactic Defender’ in-game title! Rewards will be delivered via in-game mail by Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 11:59PM PDT / Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 6:59PM GMT. Here are some tips to join a group: Invite another player to be a part of your group by typing ‘/invite [name of player]’ or you can right click on the player’s name in chat and invite to group. Click the Group Finder icon on your minimap located on the bottom left side of your screen and queue for multiplayer battles Join multiplayer battles at Level 70 through Galactic Command (press CTRL + G or click the Galactic Command icon located at the top of your screen) Here are some suggested group activities in the game to get you started: Flashpoints – Band together with three trusted allies to undertake these dangerous story-driven missions Uprisings – Team up with three other players in erupting fast-paced, action-packed battles at Level 70 Operations – It’s up to your team of 8 or 16 players to confront some of the powerful threats in the galaxy Player-vs-Player Combat – Make your mark in 8v8 PvP Warzones or 4v4 Warzone Arenas Galactic Starfighter – Take your battle to space and experience intense 12v12 free flight dogfighting World Bosses – Join with a large group to defeat the highest level boss on various planets called the ‘World Boss’ Story missions – From class missions to story chapters in the latest Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion, help your friends level up as they make their way through the story Heroic missions – You’ll want to team up with one or more friends to take on these group missions that are slightly more difficult than your standard world missions ….and more!

Ldogg Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Was wondering this myself, but they say "Click the Group Finder icon on your minimap located on the bottom left side of your screen and queue for multiplayer battles", so I'm assuming it is that easy.

ThomasStarWars Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 One or more friends. You probably have to group with someone and then queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessara Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 "Plus, if players join with 1 or more friends in 1 million or more total group activities across the SWTOR galaxy, all players who log in during the Play to Give campaign will also receive the ‘Galactic Defender’ in-game title!" It sounds like if everyone does 1 million or more total group activities then everyone who logs in, regardless of them actually doing any group activities themselves, will get the title. Also, to be fair, queuing through group finder should not be the only metric used to measure group activities. For example, a friend and I were planning to run some Star Fortresses this weekend. Is that not a group activity? Can't queue for it as far as I know but it's still "grouping with 1 or more friends". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems impossible to do though 1 million from June 2-4 only way that could happen is if you play non-stop for 3 days. Add-on: I know I can't be up 72 hours straight.

Add-on: I know I can't be up 72 hours straight. One million total across all players on all servers, naturally, not one million each. Geez.

cyrusramsey Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 One million total across all players on all servers, naturally, not one million each. Geez. While there was some room for interpretation, this was how I took it as well. It's hard to say for any player how achievable that goal is (I think it was like nearly 20k per server per day, while a handful of servers might be happy to contribute 100 group sessions ), but you'd think they'd pick an achievable number, if only for PR reasons.

EA are tightwads. They dont want to give the money, thats why they have set an achievable target. I would prefer them to spend $1 million on actually creating NEW & FUN CONTENT for this game, so that people would stop quitting. You only have to compare ESO to SWOTOR to see an MMO doing things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightblazer Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Has anyone received the pet? 1. Event is still going on 2.

DarthSpuds Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 You only have to compare ESO to SWOTOR to see an MMO doing things right. Yeah, right. ESO releases Morrowind, and takes so much flack in Closed Beta and PTS testing that some guilds have seen 80% player reductions. ESO is going through its own 5.0 "we think this is exciting" moment as we speak. All The Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESO is the best example I've seen in a long while of how to do things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savej Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 For the title I think we need to get one guy to do 1000000 group activities. Not me, but someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusramsey Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) For the title I think we need to get one guy to do 1000000 group activities. Not me, but someone. It's three days.. that would be 232 group activities per minute. I'm pretty sure that's not just meant to be done by one person..

Darkside Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 What I want to know is if the pet/title are account wide, or server/character specific. I'm assuming account wide, but there is no wording claiming so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
