I understand adversity to change, however,.....
Much like character pictures or any other change that had no impacts to player actual game play, you would think CG would take note. The forums have been full (mostly) almost all day since last night of some kind of negative feedback about the changes made (understand not all aspects). I spend a few bucks here and there so I cannot compare to the full pain of F2P but I can even see the impacts.
Post your upset wins here!
Final Score 423 - 418 The person I'm playing against has the First Order, Droids, and Resistance Light Speed Bundle purchased but first order bundle wasn't saved to his GAC roster. On offense I won with a Gear 10 6 Star Level 76 Hera a Gear 10 6 Star Level 76 Captain Rex with the Lost Commander Zeta and Gear 8 7 Star level 72 Chopper Team vs his team all level 85 with Relic 5 Nute Gunray a Relic 5 Droidica and Relic 5 B1 battle droid and won the ship battle where his team was 173000 GP and mine was 158000 GP. I focused the Chopper stun on Droidica used Captain Rex to stun Nute Gunray and focused the B1 then Droidica and finally Nute Gunray. I had full health, and no toons defeated. In the ships battle I lost two ships but won by focusing his Tie Advanced and absorbed the damage his Slave One and Tie Silencer were putting out with my Tie Bomber and Sun Fac's ship while keeping pressure on his ships with my own Tie Advanced. In the first round of reinforcements I brought in my 7 Star Tie fighter and was able to keep my DPS ships alive long enough to create an advantage and win. Two of his ships were with 5 Relic toons. The Defensive team that got the 3 holds versus his offense teams was my 33857 GP Geonosians. My Geonosian Alpha at level 74 No zeta and gear 9 Sun Fac Level 70 gear 8 and Geonsian Spy at level 66 and Gear 8. I don't know what teams he used but they were not effective. My 29788 GP Bastilla lead Jedi team with Ezra and Kennan lost. My second ships team 104274 GP ships team lost. It seemed like the account was new as he didn't have very many Mods and I had my Captian Rex modded for speed. He also probably used his best available teams in the row of toon I couldn't beat. I could not do anything with my other Toons to his Resistance Hero Poe, Resistance Hero Finn and Poe team. I don't know what his other team was.
This update may ruin the game for me.
I started playing this game seriously about 14-15 months ago. I have been on a rollercoaster since then. I joined a guild, and became an officer. Things happened, and I led a civil war against that guild. I now lead a guild who has just past the 280M mark. I have whaled on DTMG via conquest passes and gems. I have bought a LSB, and a couple kyro calendars. I was gifted two other LSBs, and I have spent many hours working on things for my guild as a whole. My guild is highly organized, we have an 88% winrate in TW and our TB scores are really good. As my financial situation has changed, I have spent less and less on the game, but I never stopped trying to help the guild. There are many whales in the guild, although no one is required to spend a dime. I get my enjoyment from two things in this game, my guild and theory crafting. Conquest and GAC are lower on my priority list, I still participate. I may not hug the Meta, but do I sound like a casual player? This update infuriates me. I tried to ignore the leaks about this plan, thinking that CG would try to make it somewhat friendly. What I was hoping from this update, was a system to reward players for activity, add a more friendly way to get omis if you couldn't get T8, and add a way for players to a easy always available value increase to their daily gameplay via a battle pass. Instead, I have my main income of Omis stripped away in favor of a daily commitment watching a bar fill, and hope I get enough to buy the omis I need. I get constant reminders that there is a discrepancy between people who pay and people who don't. I progress for challenges, that I can't complete, as another form of asking me to buy the pass. People shouldn't have to check a reddit post or a youtube video to make sure they aren't getting value stolen from them. Also the math works out, assuming you increase your commitment in time to the game. This feels horrible, plain and simple. What I hope is changed: The abandonment of "Win a battle with an active Episode Pass" Challenge, as this is the most pure example of P2W. Someone can save up gems, or get lucky to get Huyang's challenges done. This challenge is pay or lose. Add Marquee shards to the Episode Shop. This allows players to invest freely in their ability to progress the Battle Pass. Character Quests are not challenges, the challenge is to get the character at all. This is also an example of P2W. Make the completion of character quests give Marquee shards, episode points if you have the character maxed, and both if you buy the Episode Pass. Shards are given not on a per quest level, but after the completion of so many quests. These quest should also involve actually investing in the toons, as the challenge should be difficult. Add Omicrons into the battlepass at a consistent interval. Omi Income should not be based on the the assumption that you are gonna buy omis from the shop. Listen, we've all bought something on accident before in the in game shops. If this remains unchanged, you are gonna search omegas up to finish an ability, and buy it from the episode shop instead of the weekly shop. Congrats, you have successfully locked yourself out of an omicron now. This suggestion also implies an increase to omi cost in the shop as an extra option. The disabling of episode quest tracking after every fight if you can't actually complete the challenge. This is rubbing it in people's faces that they can't or won't get the episode pass. Same with character tracking if no other changes are made. In lieu of the previous ideas, rework the speed F2P players progress. I'm at level 1, people who spent money are at level 7. Everyday participation in challenges shouldn't be demanded. F2P players who play religiously should complete the pass with time to spare, it shouldn't be a guessing game as to whether or not committed players should make it at all. Members who pay should either pay to get the rewards sooner, or pay to get extra rewards. Both leaves F2P players in the dust. As it stands they pay to get more, pay to get it quicker, and can pay extra to get the first 10 levels immediately. Reevaluation as to why GC should be included in the battlepass at all. If you had left GC the same, and added a battlepass with 2 tracks based on daily participation. No one would complain because it could only be seen as value added. You could go back to the old system or separate it again, and just make it so a bar fills when that bar fills up you get two omis, feats go over to the next GC. You can prefill the bar allowing for 4 omis everynow and then assuming maxxing of feats. If what is gonna differentiate episodes apart from each other is the new toons of that episode, how about the new toon is the main reason for completing the battlepass. I'm not buying the episode pass, but I may consider it if it wasn't so expensive. $20? You know how many full games I could buy with that? Not to mention that this only allows me access to more rewards, but doesn't just give me them outright. You still have to farm the episode points. Then this is for every episode meaning per chapter you want $60? The cost of a full triple A game? Just gonna wait and see how this goes, but I would leave the game now If I wasn't so attached to my guild. I hope CG listens.
Need more mod space
It’s frustrating trying to get the right stats for mods but don’t want discard mods that have stats that may need for other toons or new toons. 500 space for mods is way too small, with 8 types of mods that doesn’t leave much space to hold enough that may be needed or when redoing toons mods to something else. So can have the variety to fine tune with picks to choose right one for toon that fits wanted stats.
Asking why CG is not addressing the Feedback!
Hello Holotable Heroes! I am a new up and coming content creator writing this on his livestream with my audience. I decided I would list some of their concerns on here and see what the rest of the community thinks and see if we are all on the same page. For starters, one of my community members has stated how you made this update, without addressing the issue with the fleet meta, address the squish in Kyber within GAC that we as a community have noticed, as well as you forcing marquees, one after another. Another community member is still asking for an answer, just like the rest of us, on why you re limiting how many assault battles can be ran? You say you want there to be content for us to engage in, yet you pull out events and Assault Battles when it benefits the community. Another member of my community believes that Galactic challenges shouldn't have a monetary gate behind any feats. The fact that you replaced the completing the battle feat with the feat that requires you to PAY for the episode pass to get that feat is ridiculous. Even if it marks out and adds up to the same, it is still utterly degrading and unfair to the player base. My personal issue is that every time you announce an update, you always end that post by saying " we look forward to hearing the feedback from the community!". So here we are, giving you the feedback that you were looking forward to hearing, yet you all fail to address the feedback because it is not what you want to hear and then you try to sweep it under the rug by announcing something else. Also, not cool taking away the discount on the webstore and replacing it with your new coaxium System. Why can we not have both???? Also, to address an issue that my community member brought up earlier, why are you punishing people who play with skill vs a higher GP? We have multiple post and reports of people being demoted after a WIN! I challenge you to try to make that make sense. How do you win something in anything in life, and then you get demoted? Make that make sense. In conclusion, I am not the only post on this forum that is giving feedback on this update and what you have been doing recently. All that my community and I ask is that you listen to the feedback and do something about it. Have a good night.Less than Fair Reward System
This is yet another calculation on the Episode Pass rewards. I’ve added this calculation, because I think people are not considering the distribution of Episode Currency along the Episode track. 41,000 / 4 = 10,250 EP per week does not portray an accurate picture. We need to look at how many points we get week by week, since the store refreshes every week. I’ve broken down the calculation for the first week. Let me know if there is something missing. Dailies = 3,600 per day = 25,200 per week Episode quests = 2,000 per day = 14,000 per week Episode quest chapter = 8,000 per week GC feats = 4,550 per feat = 9,100 per challenge = 18,200 per week Marquee = 4k For the first week, F2P will get around 51,200 - 69,400 EP This will get you to track 10-13 which is about 5,000 EC. This is not enough to cover the previous rewards from the previous GC. As the weeks progress, the rewards increase, but you can’t make up for the previous rewards, because the shops will have refreshed. CG, at least try to make it somewhat fair by changing the store refresh to 28 days and quadruple the items in the store. EDIT: I made a mistake, players reaching track 10 will get 5,000 EC but reaching track 13 will get 8,000EC. max EC broken down by week week 1: 8,000 week 2: 10,000 week 3: 8,000 week 4: 15,000 It still depends on your progress, but there's no way we can claim all the necessary material each weekFeels like F2P is no more
Ive been a long playing member. Since 2016. This is the very first time i ever felt the need to speak up since I started playing. So here it is. I dont see any other update where it feels like we’ve been so screwed over as F2P. Needing to make spreadsheets to plan out how to get your currency and how to spend it is ridiculous. Every time you open the game you are now faced with a screen/challenge that requires you to have a Character or feature that you need to spend on to get (i.e Huyang / Episode pass etc) Really hope they turn this around somehow. I strongly suggest they return to the old Challenges. There was nothing wrong with it. Just a feat for COMPLETING the battles and giving you some progress was at least the minimum i feel i need. Thats been removed completely. Galactic Challenges was the way to get certain gear/stuff. Now its made so much more confusing, not only for the long term veteran, but for newcomers as well.When greed knows no bounds
I've been playing the game since day one. There were always changes that you personally didn't find particularly successful, but you got used to them. The current update shows every player more than clearly that in the medium term you no longer have a chance of being competitive in the game without regularly investing large amounts of money for a mobile game. This will have a massive impact on the enjoyment of the game for a lot of people. I'll watch it for a few more weeks, if it stays that way I'll definitely finish the game. It's a shame that the manufacturers' greed seems to know no bounds.
Insane price marks for international players!
Im from Brazil, where the minimum wage is just below $250 usd a month… I don’t make much above that, and yet, have played and payed my way thru the game for the past 5 years, and had a BLAST doing it, as all of that was a choice. I work on 24hr shifts, and simply cannot engage with the game when on duty. I now see myself with a choice of constantly being behind, with that gap ever increasing from top-end players, or pay 15% of my monthly wage just to keep up…. I came to rant, but i guess im saying Goodbye…. Thank you for the lovely time these past years, as it was an overwhelmingly great time. I’d rather keep the good memories, than tarnish that by watching it crumble Sincerely, good luck
Why would I Pay to Play?
I never have and I never will pay for sex, so why the hell do you think that I would pay for a pass to play this game. It's a bathroom game at best and hasn't injected an original idea for over 3 years. Try some actual innovation and you might have a player base in 6 months. For me, I'll keep smashing buttons until I stop needing something to do while I take a dump. MWorst Game Update Ever
I have been playing this game every single day for 9 years. There have been some crap updates over the years, but this one takes the cake. The interface is awful, especially on a phone. Freaking pop ups everywhere that are on top of where I want to click. Daily events now take longer to complete because of the crappy UI. Now the reward system is worse. Yet another currency that I have to collect to get anything useful. EA keeps making it harder and harder to achieve goals that already take months to farm. I've completely lost my motivation to play this anymore. Boycott!
Episode point
I have two accounts are now into day 2 I have done exactly the same quests on both accounts yet 1 account at level 2 2025 points and the other level 2 3875 points. The lower account is actually my better account and I have no "Not Done" quests. Both account have Huyang at 99 shards as wel so no difference for this either. How can I be nearly 200 points diferent after day 1?Why would I play a freemium game that doesn’t have big flashy payouts?
A freemium game works on the same principle as a casino. Keep peoples eyes on the flashing lights and bells. I keep seeing people say that because you can get all the same rss and some new ones, it’s okay that GC got walled. I think cutting the dailies in half and making the rewards tiny, and consolidated to one crate, you’ve removed the emotional payout. The GC paywall is another example of a situation where you totally removed the sense of accomplishment that keeps people playing everyday. It feels like this update was designed for players that keep spreadsheets of the payouts and get satisfaction from numbers not accomplishments. Not sure I’m going to keep showing up everyday anymore.$20 at LEAST to complete Galactic Challenges now??!
CG_MeatheadHaemophilusCG_Meathead I really hope you two see this, and I promise I don’t mean any disrespect by this: This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in the last 6 years I’ve been playing! A lot of us have had to grind several squads just to get TWO omicrons every few days, which took months to level each of the squads up to R7. And so now, after all of the complaints you guys have received about the “pay to win” becoming more and more of an issue…. CG HAS MADE IT WORSE!!!!! $20 just to complete ONE objective in the Galactic Challenge!!!??! 7 star a brand new marquee unit which costs thousands and thousands of crystals to make happen. Which oh yeah, COSTS MORE MONEY!!!!!! What is going on over at CG? I can already tell you I just used “battle meditation” for the foresight, and you guys are about to lose a grand number of your player base. You guys had it just right, to where enough people could grab their 2 omis each GC, and then Capital Games just decides “yeah nah, if you want TWO…. Just TWO OMIS it’s gonna cost you at least $20.” I’m sorry, but I’m just absolutely dumbfounded by the amount of air that goes through the devs heads at this point……
