TheParagade Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Myself, along with many others, missed the DvL event, or weren't able to get the Eternal tier, for various reasons, such as lack of time. I would love another opportunity to acquire Ranos, since I was unable at the original DvL event, and I believe that a lot of other players would like the same opportunity, as I have others mention it on Twitter and other platforms. So essentially, my question is: Do you think that we will eventually see a chance for players who previously missed Master Ranos to recruit her?

Aeneas_Falco Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I hope so. I missed it as well. It would not be fair to just give players who missed it the character for nothing while other players had to obtain certain achievements to get Master Ranos, so hopefully the DvL event comes back at some point.

Ratajack Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I do not have that companion, as I did not meet the criteria to receive that companion, and I hope they do not offer a "second chance" to acquire that companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, why not? I can't see the harm. As an example, I won both the Gamorrean Guard and Vectron Wraith speeder from the casino event last time it came around. I have no issue with players who missed the event last summer, or who failed to win, getting a second chance next summer. In no way am I inconvenienced if someone else gets a chance to win the same prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If they came out with the event again, and people have to earn it like we did the 1st time, I don't have a problem with it. However they'd have to go through the same stuff we did when we got the DvL event companion the 1st time. If they do not bring that event back however, then NO those who missed it the 1st time shouldn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratajack Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Out of curiosity, why not? Why? The answer is simple. As I said, I did not meet the requirements to receive that reward. I am mature enough to accept that that means I am not entitled to have that companion. I am also mature enough to realize that I am not entitled to a "second chance" to obtain that reward, even though I would like to have that companion. I missed out and that is that. It really IS that simple. I can't see the harm. As an example, I won both the Gamorrean Guard and Vectron Wraith speeder from the casino event last time it came around. I have no issue with players who missed the event last summer, or who failed to win, getting a second chance next summer. In no way am I inconvenienced if someone else gets a chance to win the same prizes. I'm not saying that anyone in particular falls into this category, but many people "can't see the harm" (or more accurately, refuse to see the harm) in something that they want. The Nightlife event is different than the DvL event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Even if they brought back the DvL event again, it is not necessarily going to mean you'll get Master Ranos. Originally the DvL event had 2 companions Master Ranos, and Darth Hexxid. If LS won across all of the servers we all got Master Ranos (which happened), however if DS won We'd have gotten Darth Hexxid. Who is to say they won't put a different DS companion this time, and people across all the servers don't go DS? Or people go DS and Darth Hexxid is the companion for that event?. So even if they did the event again, the outcome may not necessarily be Master Ranos as the companion. Edit: they could also have a different LS companion instead of Master Ranos, just something to consider.

The rest of us might want to run the DvL event if they bring it back why should we get no reward or a reward we already have? Also unique rewards denote a period of the game you were playing, there are many things I missed that I am not whining to get even though I have played since beta.

If they do not bring that event back however, then NO those who missed it the 1st time shouldn't get it. Making Darth Hexid available in the manner that they did would make it difficult to offer that companion as a reward again if they brought back the DvL event. So, let's say they bring back the DvL event, with Master Ramos as the reward companion if the "Light Side" wins. What companion do they offer as the "Dark Side" companion? I don't think it would make much of a difference what companion they offered as the "Dark Side" reward, though. How many of those that already have Master Ramos as a companion would actually go "Light Side" if they brought that event back? Why go "Light SIde" when you already have that reward? The "Dark Side" companion would almost certainly be the "winning" companion, IMO. That would just lead to massive cries of "Unfair. That's not the reward I wanted" and even more demands for BW to "Let those who did not meet the requirements to acquire Master Ramos during the first DvL event to have another chance to acquire Master Ramos as a companion".

As I said in my 2nd post, who is to say BW wouldn't have 2 different companions if they even did the event again, or a Different DS companion (which would mean more reason for us to go DS that did it the 1st time). Personally I hope they'd have 2 different options so those who did it the 1st time would have a reason to do it again, because otherwise there would be no point for us to do it again.

I was addressing the recurrence of the DvL event in regards to the "suggestion" that BW bring it back so that those that failed to meet the criteria to obtain Master Ramos the first time could have a "second chance" to obtain that companion, and pointing out a flaw in that "suggestion". I'm neither for nor against bringing the DvL event back. If they brought the event back, however, I would hope that they offered two new companions as potential rewards. I do not think that Master Ramos should be made available again, even through a recurrence of the DvL event. I also do not think that Darth Hexid should be made available again after the current event promotion expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with how easily she is obtained for the current event to get her. They'd have to at least have a new DS companion if nothing else.

MandFlurry Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If people can get Hexid again, there Is No Reason why we should not be able to get Ranos. and do it without the DvL trash. I have too many Alts as is. I think most people would want the option, even if they do not want Ranos or Hexid.. I am glad this place does Not talk for the Majority on this issue.

To be fair they only brought Hexid out now, because nobody got it from the DvL event. Master Ranos should NEVER be given out for anything but that event EVER. If it's in a 2nd DvL event with the same requirements that's one thing (I'd hope they'd have 2 new companions personally) but it shouldn't be offered by any other means. People should be forced to work for it just the same as we did the 1st time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody ever got Darth Hexid, so how can people "get Darth Hexid again"? Darth Hexid was a potential reward, but she never actually became a reward and she was never rewarded to anyone previously.

Eshvara Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I don't really care if they were to hand her out, I have her myself already. But I don't think they'll ever do it however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow up, you guys just want to try and think your "special", which your not more than any other person is here, and tell everyone else To Go to Hell, because we didn't do all of the event, or were not dumb enough to, because we have more than enough alts. I wouldn't doubt that they would put her back by doing some missions. Us others have as much a right, especially since i heard that Ranos talks about Lord Scourge. Am i wrong??

How do you have any right for it, if you knowingly didn't do the work to get it? Look I may not 100% mind if they put it into another DvL event, however I do expect people to actually work to get it. Comments like yours are filled with entitlement. from your own comments you clearly had the ability to get Master Ranos, but Chose not to bother. The choice was yours, and you lost out.

CrazyCT Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Leaving aside the arguments about meeting/not meeting the criteria - Why do you even want another carbon-copy companion that gives absolutely no input to the story? Pretty much guarantee that within 5 minutes of getting a new dress up doll, you'd be back to using your other regular companion anyway.

Nadiakshelenko Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm not into collecting companions - far too much time and money needed to get their influence up. When I did the KOTFE chapters I only bothered to do the first companion recruitment as to be honest they did not provide anything additional to the character apart from another "pet" to run around with. However the xp bonus armour that was rewarded would be great. However I think that the DvL event was a one off sort of thing as it was in the build up to KOTFE going on the dates so I doubt it will happen again.
