I never like to be negative on the forums but this is genuinely embarrassing.
It was mentioned that this probably wouldn't help with Executor vs Leviathan. There aren't many fleets in the game - it's not like characters where there are so many interactions that it's reasonable to expect some unexpected interactions to slip through.
I want to respect the developers and people behind the release here but:
- You announced this would probably not be good at doing X
- Whoever is responsible for testing clearly did not try doing X
- When it comes out and does X, people spend money to get it
- You announce that you may remove the ability to do X after people have spent their money on it
That's not okay. I could understand it for characters but there's no excuse to not know how the ship will perform against the most common fleet at the top of fleet shards. I urge whoever is responsible for making the decision to leave the ship as is. People have already spent money. You had plenty of time to test this out and prevent this from happening, but it's too late now.
EDIT: If Meathead reads this, none of this is targeted at you (as you know), and I appreciate what you bring to the role of interacting with the community. It's whoever was responsible for testing and the person making the decision to potentially remove functionality that players paid for that I'm frustrated with.

100%. To change it AFTER people spent their hard earned money is a vile bait and switch tactic. You released the ship as intended, if you didn't test it, that's on you!

But you don’t have to buy it for it to beat leviathan. What are they bait and switching?

Even for Meathead this has to be embarrassing, Leviathan has been the meta fleet for over a year now, you mean no one over there thought to playtest this new ship against it?
Fortunately I saw this post before spending on the packs, so I'm holding off for now.

This is a shady practice to get revenue.
There's a development team with PM's. QA, Developers, Dev ops, uiuix.
This is a repetead malpractice to get folks spending on something they know it will do what they said it shouldnt, they wont admit it though.
its just a quick money grab scheme. - Fatal1tyv2SWGOH7 hours agoNew Spectator
My biggest issue is they made it a marquee costing more than a chase. If people spent on it. they shouldn't be nerfing it. Leviathan stomps most now so just leave it. I'm sure a new CS will come soon anyway

Well, if they nerf it, they must refund the money to everyone that bought it.

Oh yea, glad I saw this. I was thinking about dropping those $$ on this…. But now I’ll just hold tight. You almost got me CG!

Honestly this just goes to show that they either don’t have a quality assurance team, or they need more people for it. It’s atrocious. The fact that the Naboo Raid takes me over an hour to run through every week is insane. The ROTE CM’s likewise take forever. It’s just clear they don’t test the game extensively.
I can watch half the phantom menace in the time it takes me to run all my attempts and re-attempts for this raid. It’s ridiculous.
