This is more than a complaint thread, it is a thread pleading with the Devs to pay attention. I rarely post in the forums but honestly I feel like it is time to speak up in the community concerning SWGOH, the game I love.
Over the past few months we have seen some bad patterns being produced by CG
They all seemed to start when whatever happened with the game changers program got axed.
Common unaddressed complaints by the community
1. Communication - Back in the summer time we were promised increased communication which for a month or two went pretty well. Lately we can not even get our calender on time now. What is going on CG? You are making more than enough money off this game to provide better communication. At the very least get the monthly calender out at a decent time.
2. Gear - Yes I realize it is an avenue for you to make money but why don't you stick to shards and character stars for that. All you are doing by bottlenecking gear is frustrating the player base. We work hard enough to get toons to 7 stars but then find out we need 500 stun guns just to fully gear a team. 500 is jot bad, if the gear is not bottlenecked... It is not like you guys don't release enough new characters that you can profit off of shard wise.
3. The Chewie Event - Yes I got my Chewie but I believe players in the community prefer strategy over having to play an event 200 times to get the perfect RNG only to unlock a character that we have to wait to even utilize due the gear bottleneck.
4. General Grevious - how long has the community been screaming for a re-work?
5. Daily Challenges - Maybe replace the junk gear everyone has thousands of with some useful gear?
6. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - The latest idea for TW is just stupid. Why exclude players from usong characters they worked hard for? It is not fun and if anything it excludes lesser tenured players.
7. While we are on the topic of new players. The power creep in this game has gotten ridiculous. I tried to get three of my friends to start playing SWGOH in the last month and all 3 (2 of which who do not know each other) stated it is a great game to play for fun but has reached a point where any new player who would like to play competitivly will pretty much always be stuck with the same generation of players they entered the game with and get less rewards.
8. Christmas - The Christmas event flood and no gifts was just lazy
9. Portraits - Who's idea was it to waste company resources in adding portraits to the game? There are 500 other things discussed in this forum every day that could have and should have been addressed before this worthless addition to the game ever had time wasted on being created.
All in all, I'm not saying I hate this game or that I'm leaving. All I'm doing is giving feedback because in my eyes and from what I see CG is starting to display a bad pattern on behavior when it comes to communication with the community and aspects / updates in game. There are plenty of ways for CG to peofit of SWGOH....ticking off the player base is not one though.
With all that being said, the time to correct this is now. You still have an amazing game and player base but many of us are starting to see things going in the wrong direction and hopefully someone will read this or another post and get things back on track.
Communication is key.
I have voiced my worries, attempted to offer solutions, hopefully you will take them to heart. Some of what I have stated above are not even my complaints but complaints I see so often lurking these forums.
Thank You
1. Yes, communication is sorely lacking. It's a little disturbing that communication was improved dramatically when a competing Marvel game was released, but faltered to even worse than before when said game failed.
2. The gear grind is fine as is. Yes it sucks obtaining thousands of carbantis, but limiting the grind to just shards would mean a large portion of the playerbase would have mostly maxed characters already and really have nothing to work towards.
3. The difficulty of the Chewbacca and C3P0 events finally made it feel like I was actually accomplishing something beating a Legendary event rather than just being lucky and having farmed the shards for who was needed in time.
4. Good Lord, yes. Unless we're on the verge of a massive Separatist update giving us Grievous and his capital there's no reason it has gone on for this long.
5. The only one that needs a rework is Mace's challenge. Even if they added two stun gun salvage to that challenge that would be a massive boost for that one.
6. Territory Wars is stagnant as is. Changing things up occasionally is a positive, but this current system is probably not the way to go. The faction/character buffs were highly enjoyable.
7. Most freemium games suffer from this. It's difficult to compete with someone with a two year headstart unless you're willing to drop some money. New players should get some kind of bonus whether that be shards or gear or crystals.
8. We're not children and not everyone recognizes Christmas. The mass amount of events was great.
9. Portraits and titles add a little variety to the game. Many people find it a way to show off their accomplishments so I'm not overly concerned either way about this subject.
My main concern is the stagnation of modes such as Territory Battle and Raids. Those need drastic overhauls to be exciting again.
