CG outdid themselves this conquest

Yeah, looks much easier than last time. Looking forward to it.

Easier? Got some cheese already or are you a whale?

No? The only one that is probably an issue is Tuskens, and unless there's some node for low star/low gear that can win I'll just skip it.

Not necessarily easier - but more pain free.
Like the "no leader" feat gone is great. You can properly play it.
Still holding back a bit with the "joy", cause maybe it gets harder with changes to Datadiscs, but... at least some annoying crap feats are gone "50 times Masters Training" ugh..

JML cheese is best cheese.

You can skip 34 keycards so it's still doable without all the newest characters maxed out. These feats are less grindy than the last round so I'll take that and the sector feats aren't too bad to get either.

Low gear Cere and Cal are up for the challenge?

Why wouldn't they be? Same as always for these. JML/Wat and use the JML assist call to get kils to Cere/Cal.

That would seem to be the way. We'll have to see whether that works.

There just seems to be even more new characters than usual that are embedded in global, Boss and MiniBoss feats.

What? Are you kidding? NS has always been terrible at conquest. One of the Tuskens isn't even farmable, and don't make me laugh with the Cere/Cal feats. They don't have to survive: they have to actually defeat your enemies.

I can tell you that I won't be engaging in this conquest nearly as much as I did the last couple. Certainly I won't be bothering to get Red Crate this time.

Which is, of course, what they want. They know we can cheese things, but they also know that cheesing things over and over on the same node is not fun.

They're deliberately sabotaging fun for the people who don't pay for the latest characters. I'll get red crate on the 2nd or 3rd go-round of this conquest, but I'm not tolerating this.

You know, it used to be that I thought that CG didn't understand how the repetition of identical nodes kills fun.

I am now convinced that they're consciously, deliberately crafting the game to kill the fun as a way to preserve the exclusivity of top-end Conquest rewards.

Well, you've done it. I'm not playing for top end this month, and maybe not next month either. What a loser-fest this conquest cycle is going to be.

Boy, oh boy, this conquest will be a lot of fun!
Finally we don't have those 20/40 grindy fights that will want us to puke, the era of 14 days of same fights, over and over again is over.
Also... They didn't shove new toons that will require cheesing fights.
Thanks CG, you're cool, totally not lame.
