I don't usually comment, but I think there are both excellent and not-so-excellent features to this latest update.
First, the not-so-great things (in my opinion, that is):
* Please change the character screens back to the way they were. Having a short description of what a character does was great, instead of just having it read "Light Side, Jedi, Support". Perhaps make the Mods as a button on the character page, but please return the description. The character screen feels bare and (no pun intended) alien now.
* Please have the Mods run on something other than Cantina energy. Cantina energy regenerates so slowly, and having the Mods run on this, will make it next to impossible for free-to-play guys to stay in the game. We can't all afford to spend money to buy crystals to buy extra Cantina energy to collect character shards and mods. Perhaps add a special kind of energy for the mods that regenerates at a rate somewhere between the regular energy and Cantina energy?
* Please consider changing the red background behind the Dark Side character shards back to the way it was. Many of the Dark Side character pictures now blend in too much with the red background. I had to actually search around today to find my Royal Guard and Old Daka.
* Lastly, please bring back all the old battle screens. The old layout was more compact and refined and just looked so much better. Sure, add the new stuff, like the multi sim etc. but please add it to the old layouts. Again, the screens feel totally alien now.
Now for the excellent stuff:
* The increase in Galactic War rewards are brilliant!!
* The idea of the mods, in and of themselves, are brilliant and will allow lower level toons to become usable sooner. Please, just give to Mods a few more tweaks.
* Thank you so much for moving the 'abandon' button in the Raids to the other side of the screen. That is a big relieve :)
* The gear exchange is a wonderful addition. It is great to be able to get help, and give help, to your Guild members in finding difficult gear items.
Finally, just one more thing on the topic of Galactic Wars, and the teams you face in the final 2 or 3 battles: I understand that Galactic Wars are supposed to be challenging, but I have found it impossible to complete the final battle for the past couple of days. I am a new level 80 and I keep coming up against level 80 teams that are all 7 stars (no problem there, I have my own 7 star toons to play with) but the teams I end up facing in the final battle, are 7 starred level 80s with a gear level of 11 or higher. I don't mind tough teams, but it would be great if the IA selected teams that were within my reach to defeat, even if I have to retreat and start over a few times. A few of my friends as well as members of my Guild have commented on this problem too.
Again, I think the mods and new updates in general are brilliant, but one or two tweaks would be greatly appreciated and add to making a wonderful game even more excellent!
Thanks to all the developers for all their hard work!
