I made a reddit post that may be better formatted/easier to read: www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4letmr/tentative_list_of_characters_eligible_for_june_2/ (Feel free to upvote it - I figure making informative posts with guild flair is a good way to get our name out there)
Empire Assault
Event Start Time: June 2nd
This new type of event is meant to be challenging and is tuned for level 80 players.
Structure of Event:
• Requires Rebel and/or Clone characters • Visible at level 75, unlock at 78.
• Difficulty is tuned for 5 level 80 characters at 6-7 stars with maxed out gear and abilities.
• Battle 8 waves of Empire forces. • 3 waves, then a sub-boss: Darth Vader
• 3 more waves then a boss fight: Emperor Palpatine & Royal Guards
• Rewards are:
• Shards of Empire characters. (excluding Darth Vader)
• Items for Empire characters.
• Difficulty is very high.
• Features a new power added into the encounter:
• Gain a 15% max HP Heal Over Time for 2 turns, Offense Up for 1 Turn, and retaliation.
• This power is added per character, but exists only in this event

Other notes from the community update (I take these with a grain of salt - they've been saying they're working on these issues for a while now)
What’s being discussed?
The development team is working very hard more brand new content for all of you, but they are also working on addressing some concerns that have been in the community.
• Galactic War – the team is aware that there are still a large number of players that don’t enjoy Galactic War. They are working on ways to make the mode a little less frustrating and not take quite as long to complete.
• Characters – thank you to everyone who has posted their feedback for characters. The team is reviewing it all and taking player feedback into consideration when making adjustments to certain characters.
• Pre-crafted gear – this is a very hot topic still and the team is aware of it. Please stay tuned as we hope to have more to share on this next week.
• Guild Hopping – another hot topic that we’ve been talking about in the studio. While no action will be taken against players who are doing this currently, know that we’ll likely be changing some of the mechanics surrounding this in the near future.
• Raid Rewards – we have been listening to player feedback and are discussing options for how we can adjust the current system.

I'm hoping three super maxed characters and two mid ranges will sneak me through.

Well, it looks like we created an alt guild for nothing. On one hand, I'm happy they're going to create a system that discourages guild hopping. On the other hand, I've now put a lot of time into my alt, and seems like such a waste. Oh well, maybe we'll have time to get one extra raid in using it. If so, then it will be worth it.

Even though I won't be participating in the guild hopping, I can help recruit for the alt guild
Also did you post this in the right thread lol

Yeah, my reply was in response to Roy's 2nd post, 4th bullet point, of concerns raised by players on OF. Sounds like they're going to shut down guild hopping, eventually, as we originally predicted. That stupid dev who basically made it sound like it wasn't something they were concerned about pisses me off. If he hadn't sounded so nonchalant about the whole issue, I never would have developed my alt account.
That's why devs should not interact directly with the community. That is Jesse's job.

Won't Hoth Rebel Scout be really good for the new event with his turn meter gain each time an Empire opponent is defeated?
