It says you just have to log in once. That should be pretty easy unless you are "away" for a week.
I am away, which is the problem
Sorry dude. A lot of games do this event driven item/skin/weapon and it blows. BO4 makes you grind or pay for them,
hardcore.
I wouldn’t have a problem with it if it wasn’t such an iconic skin
Four million is an arbitrary number they ame up with that should be attainable within the pre-determined window. They are trying to drive traffic to the mode. The "reward" is literally for doing the same thing people would be doing anyway. It's more of a goodwill gesture than a reward. Plus, they've said this skin will NOT be purchasable later, probably as an incentive to drive MORE people to the mode. Let's not bite the hand offering us a free cookie.
I suppose @0badmonkey0 has a point in that there are many games that do events like this one in that they give away unique rewards for those who participate as the only mean of claiming it, so this kind of practice is something that is not really new.
However, I share the same point of view as @UrbanGlitch in that, in my opinion, this skin may be too iconic to make it as an exclusive reward. It would've been something else like the Boushh skin (obviously it has already been released to be purchased, but this simply mentioned to imagine it as an example). Unfortunately, just like @UrbanGlitch, I won't be able to get a chance to get the Princess skin before the 7th because I am also away, which it sucks...
I guess Dice purposely made the Princess skin exclusive in order to make it even more special than the other skins, or otherwise it would've be just another new skin to unlock by purchasing in a normal way, and that's kinda understandable. However, it is important to note that probably many people (including myself) did not fully expected that this reward was to be so suddenly confirmed by Ben as an exclusive only, which is the only real problem here. Even Elliot of BattlefrontUpdates was surprised by this confirmation, as he not only thought that this reward was not to be exclusive but also highly doubted that this would've be exclusive (to those who don't know who Elliot is, he is a YouTuber by the name of BattlefrontUpdates with a solid and trustworthy reputation to many in the community who covers BF2's news very, very well, and knows how to go straight to the point. He's even one of the few who is very close to the people of Dice).
You've hit the nail damn well on the head
Never forget
Sure, most players can easily participate the event by logging in as many tend to be in their home/place with their gaming platform by the time this event has already been launched. But there are always other players in any time of any years, particularly those who are in their travel or simply away from their gaming platform for a while, or those who are just maybe taking a long break from BF2 and does not constantly checking the news, will not get a better chance to at least try to plan ahead to see whether they can or cannot get the exclusive rewards, if not expecting the event's conditions soon enough. By the time it was confirmed that this exclusive reward has been announced, I was already away from my PS4 and I will still be away even after the 7th, so there's no way for me to be able to get to my console or in another way to log on in time (otherwise I would've have no problem when I normally tend to have my PS4 to play by now).
In this case as an example, the Princess skin and more importantly its conditions as an exclusive reward should have been announced at least in about the first week of April. If given plenty of time, some players who will be away may be able to plan ahead by either bringing along their console/pc, or even changing some of their schedules by allowing them to participate the event just before they go, while some other players who only check the news once in a while may become aware of it in time. I understand you cannot be absolutely perfect when planing to make big announcements in terms of time and how you do it, but surely you have the potential to be more flexible to the community like you did many times before.
Well done
That's almost half
You really are missing your opportunities on very simple things.
halfway done after only 1.5 days with 4 days left, I'd say we're going to hit the target
As a Feedback to this event, it would be awesome if you make these events weekly or just give us special weekly challenges to unlock new skins.
For me as a player with over 1.7 million credits and everything maxed out are these challenges like fresh air and a good Motivation to play this game. At the beginning of February, I‘ve started to play Apex everyday. Now this event is fun with a special reward.
Also @AZZATRU, a Star Wars Youtuber, presents every week the top 5 Battlefront 2 Mods of the week, and with over 50 Episodes, there is a lot of stuff that could eventually find the way to Battlefront.
So to give even veteran players something to go for, please make these style of community challenge or skin challenges weekly.
Wow, that really is crap. Your situation points out the major problem with this format
Yes
I would like to note that as a completionist, I am fully against once in a life time content as a rule, and only make exceptions for legal issues (I never did get all the DLC for Activision’s Transformers since I kept procrastinating).
Never forget
once the anakin nerf comes CS will be the go to mode. I personally like CS its a much better mode to GA and more of an epic star wars battle.
Not me. I waited too long for this skin, and this will be her permanent one.
I agree, I had always wanted This skin
I wouldn't worry because last year they offered skins for challenges but people who found the challenge too hard or couldn't login complained and Dice simply ran the challenge again and made it easier 🙄
You will see the amount of points as like as all the challenges
I agree, but CS doesn't take place in "Iconic Star Wars Locations" which is a huge reason to play this game. I want to play in locations I saw in the movies. I don't remember being aboard the droid ship, know what I mean?
We’re gonna make it!
Never forget
I logged in multiple times. I captured multiple points in CS. No Leia skin crate. Skin still locked. Anyone else?
I’ve gotten this error too.
It's on the loot boxes, the red one.
BTW, nerf Leia DICE, she's a beast
Well I do understand where you are coming from, and as a completionist myself I also would've prefer more to have the devs making only non-exclusive rewards than making a few of those that are exclusive-only. That being said, I also understand where does Dice was coming from -- they probably wanted to make the exclusive skin much more special and unique it terms of the conditions of how to get it, and of course making it related as part of the May the Fourth celebration (though in my opinion I find the Princess skin itself to be too iconic to be worthy as an exclusive reward, it should've be something more-or-less exotic). I suppose this exclusive reward is also another way to say thank you to those who are playing today and are still playing ever since from November 17, 2017 (the date when BF2 was officially released) all the way til' May 7, 2019.
The bright side about this is that this exclusive reward is only cosmetic, meaning that this isn't something that affects the gameplay mechanism (at least in terms of anything other than the skin's color that either helps or hinders the characters that makes him/her either easy or harder to spot depending on the map's environment). Now imagine that the exclusive reward would've be a pair of new Heroes like Ahsoka and Ventress, or even the imported Heroes from the predecessor like Jyn Erso and Director Krennic -- that would probably be really bad. I also would not like the idea for other prizes (at least for certain games like BF2) such as new weapons or even new Star Cards as exclusive rewards, unless perhaps the new weapons have the exact same stats and mods as the ones already in the game, or unless they rerelease the old weapons but with special effects or in different colors for cosmetic reasons only.
On one day I got it three or more times in a row (even after resetting), but then it stopped. It is crashing a lot though, and I don’t know what’s causing it.
Never forget
