It's not complicated. Profundity is an older fleet; it's not designed to compete with Leviathan, which is the meta so there's not a reason to prop it up artificially. It still beats everything below Executor and Levi; so it's not useless, just not tied for 2nd anymore.
Complaining about it is like complaining why CLS can't beat GL's just because you've farmed CLS.
It's not complicated. Executor is an older fleet; it shouldn't be designed to destroy the newer Profundity fleet, which should be part of the meta so there's not a reason to prop it up artificially. It still beats everything including competing against Levi; so it's not useless, just not tied for 2nd anymore.
Complaining about it is like complaining why Gungans can't beat Ewoks just because you've farmed something that was newer and more expensive.
See I can do it too!
The issue is that Profundity (A newer, more expensive top tier fleet than Executor) was removed from the top tier over night without any reason or explanation.
The reason people are complaining is that you don't expect something cheaper and older to reasonably be expected to not only outperform but completely invalidate your progression. People's entire farming strategy is based on the expectation of some reasonable stability. Chaos like this causes frustration and the feeling of loss of progression. The complete opposite of what hero collection games are all about. People are supposed to feel that constant forward movement to keep them engaged and invested.
No one should be saying that they wanted their Profundity to be the best, no one should be saying it should wipe the floor with Executor.
New fleets should usually do better than old fleets. You're seeing people upset because they put a lot of time, effort, and in many cases, money into something that is now a terrible investment that in its current state, I bet people will now avoid farming.
Welcome to paper/scissors/flop.
Your arguments are very consistent with where I am at with this game right now. Thank you.
Yeah, as far as GL Ships go (for lack of a better term)
Executor was first (i.e. now the oldest), Profundity second (the middle child), and Leviathan last (the new baby - still).
I can see bumping up exec to prof level, but not more. And from other stuff i've seen posted, 3 PI should not be outdoing 7 PI, that's just poor coding/planning.
