Darth Hater

I did the event with my lvl 23 or so mercenary while I did mostly warzones and my class quest next to it. I voted "kinda dissapointed" for several reason.

Now let me clarify that I don't know how hard it is and how much time it takes to design and implement new armor/ weapon skins.

• too short (as I'm in holidays and basically only by luck completed the event before I went for holidays is dissapointing to say the least. I would have liked to play it with all of my characters for the title and to get at least 2 items from the tusken raider set (belt and underarms)
• I have 8 chars which are mostly different advanced classes while some are the same just imp and reb side, I can use the weapon for exactly 1 char which is underhwelming to say the least. Crystals I can use with all of my characters so rather pimp up the vendor with all previous achieveable items also to get rid of your old coins.
• I didn't have a problem that this event is only on one planet, as was the rakhgoul event if I remember correctly, the event would have been perfectly fine taking my two previous points in consideration.

I don't think it is too much to expect more than what we got after weeks of waiting for anything. 

but the race was on 2 planets, coruscant and nar shaddaa (dromund kaas if you were imperial)

I enjoyed the event, think the loot was good, and found the puzzles to be fun.

Here's what could have made it better:

• More weapon types. A vibroblade and pistol would have sufficed.
• Armor that is tied to the Chevin. I love tusken outfits, but story counts.
• Random loots in the boxes that are more common (e.g., a companion gift that drops 5% of the time).
• A culminating event that brings everyone out to fight a world boss, stop an invasion, or witness a Chevin thrown party in the promenade.

 . . . also the speeder was AWESOME for any SWG vets who remember busting up their landspeeders. Nice touch BW!

I voted somewhat disappointed.  Let me preface by saying that I LOVED the first event.  I found it very enjoyable.  For this event I like the concept, but was somewhat disappointed with the execution.  Reason why:

1.  The box quest:  This alone was enough to turn this from enjoyable to annoying.  It's bad enough that you had the quest to look for the 6 random spawn boxes, but add to that the fact that the 6th piece always took longer (I did the quest on 4 toons), and worse yet, others were searching them constantly for comms.  The boxes for comms idea isn't that bad, actually I think it's quite good, give people the opportunity to get unlimited comms for either selling for money or buying the event items, but mixing that with one of the quests ruined that IMO.  The boxes should have been 100% separate from the actual quests or the event item should have been a single drop (not 1/6 x 6) with a fairly high percentage to drop.

2.  The rewards:  When I state the rewards you might ask if I mean the rewards for the quests themselves, the items from the vendors, or if I even mean the credits you get from completing the quests, the answer is yes.  The Chevin promised riches, I was expecting the credit yield to be much, much better for completing the entire quest (I'm talking like several 100k credits [possible scaling down if not 50]).  The rewards from the comms were OK.  I liked the new sand people set and bought a full set for one toon (though I wish it would have correlated to the actual event somehow).  I actually liked the speeder, a lot of people complained about it not being 110% speed, but LOOK AT IT, it looks like it barely runs.  I'm quite confident the low speed was intentional, this is clearly meant to be a novelty vanity item, not your new permanent mount.  Something you bring out from time to time as a joke.  For that I liked the speeder (though a new 110% in addition would have been a nice option, maybe a fixed up version of the same speeder).  I didn't care for the weapons only being bowcasters.  I loved that they were bind on legacy, I was able to give my 45 sniper a full columi modded blaster for the second she dings 50, but if you don't have a character who needs it, it seems like a waste.  It's been said, and I believe, the intent is that future events will follow the same idea, for example maybe next event is only vibroblades, or pistols, but with currently people screaming that content doesn't get released frequently enough the timing of this was bad.  There should have been a few events in close secession building up player confidence that content would flow more regularly before going to a model where there may be 0 gear you want from an event (even then haters gonna hate, but there would have been fewer).  Finally the amount of comms you got from completing the event wasn't enough to get much of the items from the vendor.  I suspect this was intentional the boxes were ment to fill that, but see the problem with the boxes above, this compounded that.  I ran all 5 of my level 20+ toons through the full event, doing so and doing very little box farming outside of the box quest i was able to buy: 1 pet, 1 mount, 1 x40 comm bowcaster, and 1 full sand person set, and had about 30-40 comms left over.  That sounds like a lot, but that was running the full event 5 times, so a single run through would have only got me 1/5 of that.  I understand you don't want everyone to get it all, that takes away the uniqueness, but people also don't want to have to super grind on a limited time frame event.

3.  The story:  I like that an attempt was made at a story, but it was lacking.  The intro - great, I loved the newscast, The middle - good, it was interesting working with the spy faction, The end - what end?  You turn in the quest and receive a title, but never really found out what the Chevin was doing.  I'm hoping there will be something coming after maintenance or when the new operation drop that explains this, if not this was a big ball drop on the story (especially when we were told there would be a twist, was the twist that you lied and there was not twist?)

The hunt in general was entertaining, and the puzzles were a nice change from "stand in one spot on the fleet trading plagues."

The only thing that made any part of the world event unpleasant was a small portion of the player base.

The people who insisted on "helping" you with the boss on Nar Shaddaa and only caused you to reset a dozen times before they finally stopped destroying all of the capacitors on you.  The people who griefed hundreds of others on the droid escort.  The players that insisted on forcing world pvp at every place you had to click something.  And last but not least the credit farmers who felt that 3-5k was a fair price to charge for the event currency while blocking the rest of the population from completing the gathering portion of the event in a timely fashion.

As for the rewards, I completed the event on several characters and so had enough tokens to buy the sandpeople outfit, several of the legacy weapons, and the pet on my main character.  The weapons will help me with gearing my alts, since I can transfer campaign weapons to them now along with the armor and mods.  The speeder would have been appealing if it was grade 3, since it wasn't I passed and bought sparkle power with my remaining tokens.

The event was great, people suck.

first - I liked the concept of the scavenger hunt. And I liked that the weapons were legacy bound. But - 

1.) It got to be a grind to find the boxes to get enough tokens to buy the gear and a gun etc..

2.) The gear kinda sucked, the only weapon's couldn't be used by 3/4 of the population. I mean WTF?
