This will definitely kill the game and i don't have to be a psychic to predict this.
1. Stacking disparity (r3 vs r9) on top of datacrons is just ridiculous. This will destroy GAC which other than Fleet Arena people depend on for crystals. It will punish those with a more evened roster. This is all exasperated by pushing relic delta while we have to chose to try and keep up with your release pace vs having to max relic...smh
2. This will force everyone not already with pick and chose rosters that are maxed out for efficiency, to have to move towards said type of rosters if they want to compete.
3. Forcing pay to win is definitely not a win and you CG will regret it. You are widening the gap of F2P and P2W which you have lessened somewhat. Don't worry whales are gonna whale and focus on making content and characters for fans to play with.
All this being said, I propose instead of making a disastrous decision to make a more gradual power increase do the following:
1. Slowly increase levels to the next logical steps over the next several years from 85 to 90 to 95 and then 100.
2. Increase relic to 10.
3. Give us another mode to play with like vehicle combat.
4. Upgrade TW with different planets with different zone placements and zone modifiers like you tried way back when..and upgrade the rewards.
5. Upgrade GAC with more zones and/or more zone slots so we can use more of our rosters.
I hope you really read this and pay attention. It's not to late to pivot from this and do what's right. I appeal to your love of Star Wars and the perspective of the players who do too as a whole. Anyway if you want to talk about it feel free to contact me. COMPNOR out.
