Punishing One Update

What the heck are you planning to do about the Punishing one completely making profundity useless!!?? Spent a year building it just so that you could make the 2nd best ship in the game now garbage!! Fox it or I'll see y'all later!!!!!

How about testing how it is on defence ?

How can you do that on purpose ?!

I'm a 1,5 year player. I choose very quickly to go on profundity over exec. Even if thé farm was harder and more costly. They used to beat each other safely and that was fine (exec/prof) for me.

Now, you're releasing a 3 * ship which made that matchup impossible and claim that this IS "on purpose"... How date you ? You Can't imagine how i (and i'm not thé only one) i feel now, After such an investment over last year on profundity reqs, to be stuck in every exec match up.

So angry and upset you broke that balance and find it "cool"....  It's cool to break player who farm an harder capital ship to farm and more récent récent one ! Nice move

“When considering our choices of courses of action, we are satisfied with how Punishing One is performing in all other battles. Due to this we are not currently planning any action to adjust Punishing One directly.” - well you just lost a reasonable amount of the player base. You simply spit in the face of Profundity owners who spent time and money in your game. SHAME! Your actions are a good example how not to develop a game…

So, here's my interests. Why? Why does it bother CG that Exec beats Leviathan with this new ship? Exec beat Leviathan before this ship came out! Sure, it was trickier, but it was still a thing! And this is what, the 3rd? 4th time? Levi keeps getting buffed for no reason other than CG won't admit they made a trash ship to start with.

And now, CG is trying to force the player base to use the lineups that CG wants, just so that their prize doesn't look like the crap it is. 

lesson no. 1 for CG--test your game. It's not hard. Do it.

lesson no. 2--let the meta evolve. Stop artificially propping up whatever meta you decide you want. 

lesson no. 3--stop releasing crap stuff and then screwing the player base on it. You read the kit reveals, heck you wrote it. Think, and then release. 

CG has failed the players so many times, it's a wonder this game is still alive.

I mean, people have already been beating my Leviathan with a 3* P1 with my Dorito in the starting lineup since P1 release.  It isn't just affecting Sith fighter starting lineups.  I know something needs to be done, and maybe buffing dorito will help, but not because now we'll be able to start it...  Also, you guys have to do something for Profundity.  You did warn us P1 would help with Exec v Prof, but man.  Prof people without Exec or Lev are losing their minds, and rightly so.

In short : If you are a newer player, skipped Exe to go straight for Prof, sucks to be you. Your R9 Admiral Raddus is useless, and so is your fleet because you can not beat Exe OR Levi at all. I don't understand this "lifter" for Exe. I could consistently beat Prof with Exe, and Exe with Prof. They could consistently counter each other. Now Prof has exactly zero chance of being anywhere in the top 50.

At the same time, I literally never used tie dagger with my Leviathan. Not even as a reinforcement, so I really don't understand why it is that specific ship that us Leviathan users will have to switch to... Why can't they give said buffs to one of the OG lineups? Why complicate it?

Furthermore how will this new lineup/buff translate to the Chimera counter against Levi? Will it totally screw that up and further screw many other players?

If they want their money grab just throw a new fleet out that beats all the previous "GL" ships, don't make ridiculous adjustments to the current ones. Whales will whale either ways, but screwing a bunch of people who put in the time and effort to get Prof, only for it to become a "Glorified Negotiator counter" was a disgusting move. These ships take 4-6 months to acquire the requirements, and almost two yrs to 7* without whaling. In it's current state Prof is worthless.

God forbid Levi players have to throw a match to change fleet setup once in awhile...

I am more concerned with how this further change impacts the chimera counter to Levi. Would buffs to tie dagger cause more difficulty? Because then you are just transferring the issue to a different demographic of fleet climbers. The fleet meta was fairly balanced. If Levi can switch out to a more defensive line up I don’t see an issue. Players are used to considering different line ups for offense and defence. It’s clear that players in GAC and TW will avoid the line up vulnerable to exec counter. 

You need to refund everyone's crystals and let us decide if we will take to 7* or not. It's totally unacceptable for you to make this change after people have spent. Not a good is it?
