CG outdid themselves this conquest

I can understand having some global feat tied to one of the new marquee teams, but essentially having 100% of them? Give me a break.

I count 5 global ‘factions’ feats: ns (doable with undergeared new marquee), tuskens (doable with undergeared new marquee), aphra ds droids (as last conquest, so not ‘new marquee’), unaligned (doable with inqs, so not ‘new marquee’), cere/cal (doable with jml, new marquee).
So you have 60% new marquee, 20% very difficult if you don’t have jml and 40% doable without buying any new marquee shards by having the rest of the roster, which is not new.

You do need a broad roster to pull it off though, which was always what conquest was about.

This is by far the worst set of Conquest to play, ever. Coupled with all the **** amount of time needed to put into the game, I’ve never came so close to entertaining quitting the grind. Absolutely ridiculous direction CG is taking this game.

Hard disagree. Easiest conquest in a long time.

I don't know if I'd go that far - but it's a lot better than initial impressions led me to believe.

It’s rather comical how i used to make it half way through sector 4 before getting stuck. This GC i’m blocked by GI at the end of sector 2. None of the viable counters can get me the win. 7+ years of playing with over 9 mil GP and this is what I’ve been reduced to.

Well played CG! Another example why my guild, and others, are collapsing. Long time players, many paying customers, have had enough of the nonsense and left. Many others have quit spending even reduced amounts of money for essentially the “lack of return on investment.”

I’ve stayed F2P for six years, inclined to accept what came with being a F2P, and kept my opinions, and my money, to myself. But i’m finally throwing the kitten flag. Keep pushing your player base down this stupid path you want us all to go and you will push yourselves out of a job.

I personally never had any disagreements with the difficulty. I just find it more tedious than doing dishes and stop the second I get my target box.

My biggest concern other than the fact it is designed for grind rather than fun is that they tied the whole dc economy to it, so you can't really opt out if you want to be part of any pvp mode.

I'm not sure how you can get "stuck" anywhere with 9 million gp. Usually if people can't get red crate, it's because you don't have what you need to get all the feats. But getting through all the nodes shouldn't be a problem with half that gp.

Well you can, at least partially.
If DC is all you want than just clear the sectors and ignore all feats

Just farming dc nodes is on the same chore lvl as the feats in my book. I have my target box, I grab it, but it really costs a lot of my love for the game every time a new conquest starts.

Agreed…just so tedious. Too many “win 40 battles with x”. Get rid of those…replace with other less tedious feats or at least more creative ones. Then figure out some consistency with data disks. Conquest isn’t hard just boring. Rewards are meh. My guess many people are in the same boat thus the recent survey. Game mode needs a massive overhaul…maybe they tackle after this raid overhaul.

I’d rather have two feats with half the tickets each at 20 battles for two different teams than one squad for 40. Making it for factions/groups where you can have more than one team would also be great (like the rebels in s3 or s4). It doesn’t mean any fewer battles, so same amount of energy and crystals spent on refreshes, but would mean more variety in battles for the player.

I'd be happy if they stop doing 1000% TM load so you sit there for 3 minutes watching your team get destroyed because the AI is setup to take 47 turns before you do.

Plenty of other things, but the TM pre-load is lazy coding to make content more "challenging" because they don't want to come up with more creative ways to add challenge to conquest.

The ridiculously stupid Rey team as the final boss is right up there too though.
