7* fully maxed falcon feedback

This is a LEAP backwards. Was the intent to make ships even easier? Who came up with falcon not being able to be targeted? Do you ever stop and think at any point, “guys, we have movies and canon to reference, let’s make sure this makes sense!” Cause I remember it being attacked exclusively non stop. Can you stop with these bizarre out of nowhere abilities like stupid C3PO? This is the C3PO of fleet now. Great step backwards!

    16 players out of the top 50 use Ackbar's Home One on my fleet shard, including myself. I've developed a rebel fleet from the start with an eye on the Chimaera event (ETA: And I take rank 2 in fleet every day). I only poured enough resources into the Executrix to be able to farm zetas.

    I'm a long way away from being able to use the Falcon though. Or Chewie, or Han himself for that matter. I might have to switch guilds if I want to unlock Han before I have my Bounty Hunters ready to get the other missing ingredients.


    Interesting point there, cause no ship has ever needed a pilot from a raid, this is the first time people would be locked out of content if they didn't raid or didn't want to do raids or were not in a raiding guild.

    If you like ships, you have to raid now :D
  • Thanks EA for ruining the Fleet Arena. The Falcon is way to overpowered and not only in one aspect.
    The direction of development of the game in overall is dissapointing. Higher, bigger, superman is not the answer for long time motivation.

    Also my silencer doesn't stun... full turn meters/no foresight... the opponents HT doesn't get debuffed. .kylo dv ect . If these are glitches they need fixing fast.


    @imageintech -- are you seeing fleets with ghost in the starting lineup? Ghost's unique reduces enemy potency by 25% so it definitely reduces the chances of applying debuffs.

    if people don't want to raid they are locked out of a lot more than the new falcon. like, doing well in the game.

    2.0 Ruined Fleet Arena.

    Geos Ruined Fleet Arena.

    Houndstooth Ruined Fleet Arena.

    Now the Falcon Ruined Fleet Arena.


    You got that wrong entirely though?

    2.0 made Fleet arena terrible and cost the game many players, but as we got used to it and just put up with the terrible RNG it added it mellowed out amongst us, still, many players dislike the change, I only really dislike the change to TB ship battles, from multiple battles to one, making it much harder to win in TB.

    Geo's did nothing, People didn't have Goe's up fast enough for them to make much of an impact at all. My shard alone never saw one fleet of Geo's until HT was already prevalent. People did not want to gear Geo's up. So Geo's never "ruined Fleet arena".

    HT also, if you knew how to beat it, was not even an obstacle. Many ships countered HT before HT was even a thing. I was already using one of HT counters in my line up, which meant when people started using HT, I found them easier to beat. Much easier. If they put up their original ships I may have not taken first place for months against all the HT users.

    The thing is. The Falcon destroys everything on offence and you need the right ships to handle it on your offence. Its a ship so strong it made a Capital ship that was 20 in the meta top 50 as compared to Thrawns which was in the thousands, to now already over a thousand people using AA in the top 50. If we all had Falcon, AA would be the only Capital in the top 50.

    Falcon is a ship so strong that using it means you can auto 95% of your entire shard. Ht was never able to do that, Geo's never able to do that. Falcon actually owns everything. This is the difference here. You own Falcon. You win. you don't? Then prepare to face harder and harder uphill battles as people get better rebel ships.


    A lot of this is just opinion and your own experience.... which is fine.... but i geared geos the second ships were reworked and untill HT came out i do not think i had a but a few battles last over 27 seconds.. post hounds tooth it went up to 1-1:30... now they suck against rebels ..... but still viable if you dont mind 50/50 win rate depending if spy hits his taunt on falcon.... just easier to run rebels now. Still no 27 second wins but quick....

    Interested in bombers daze as it counters falcon except for the fact that if bomber is in your lineup you cant win right now lol
  • If you've been at the top of your fleet shard and didn't prep for the Falcon.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ meta changes are fast and disruptive. This is no different than others (and agree, Ships 2.0 changed everything, and quickly). IMHO, this is noting relative to the disruption that was ships 2.0.

    Maybe I'm confused because I have three accounts and three Falcons and didn't really break a sweat getting them to five star.

    I played a lot against Falcon+Ackbar fleets past days. In my shard actually i see ca 20 teams with it. Some with 7 star falcon, wow! I tried different aproaches, but it mostly ended up in a fast defeat. Very frustrating. With all the bonus attacks it is a fast massacre. No chance at all. Also against 5 star falcon i need much luck, seldom happening.
    3 dumbs down for this poor development.


    When HT hit ships it was at least beatable and there was still some variety in top 15 of my shard. Now it's all Home One with Han's Falcon and they destroy everything non Rebel! Ships is officially broken!


    If it’s broken. . . Then how come aa hmf rebel fleets can be beaten by empire geos fleets?

    ????


    Only so far as in people are spending money to keep up with ship metas now for no other reason then arena because they REFUSE to give us any actual content to use the ships we are paying to farm...

    Spend on BH they were meta for 2-3 months, that get's you the falcon which will be meta for a few months...new ship we spend on will be meta for a few months

    But why...how stupid are we...it's just for arena ????/

    People who spend on toons get to use them in assault battles, raids, Journeys, flash battles, faction events like ewoks, dathomir,

    Ships has nothing....a 10 second TB battle, a small boring TW ship part no one cares about...we literally only have the smugglers run that required new ships people may have spent on.....

    If they want us to keep spending on this stuff they REALLY need to give us something to do with them other than Arena.... and if we gotta be spending now to keep up with the meta....maybe they should make the rewards a bit nicer maybe 600 crystals for first, 2k fleet currency....or at least drop the rewards back 100 more spots to get people motivated...

    But that's another matter..

    THERE IS NO SHIP CONTENT..... give us something to DO with them...

    Doomsday no.... Borefest...yes


    spending money?
