Community Sentiment

The fact that we will never be able to buy gear from the GET store again is pretty lame too. I have to grind token for the next 3 months for G$, and after that keep grinding for another 70k token for the next toon, cause nobody likes to get screwed twice. ''We are going to make the gear grind easier'' my ***.

You’d think they’d do something... anything to do some damage control... but 6 days later and they threw a small bucket of water on it... and gave us no new content.

They spent this week trying to fix their mistake instead of any new content.. unbelievable.

OP is right, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such low morale in a gaming community, nothing springs to mind. Games have their flaws but as you said every post is negative, this is a new level of pissed of people. Devs are online and not responding. One of the first things you do when diving into a new game is seek out the online community for guides, help etc. This would be quite a depressing forum to visit, and rightly so ?.
So many long term guild/shard mates have left in last 3 months or so, it would be interesting to see how many accounts have gone inactive in that period

As long as there are people who say something along the lines of "we need whales and krakens to keep the game running" this is going to be the only treatment we get from CG.

This isn't a FTP, Whale, Kracken, or whatever name you want to call someone based on their spending. It's a CG versus a sustainable community issue.

While it's minimal to some, in 3.5 years I've spent about 4k and have no regrets doing so. However, CG is not getting another dime from me until there is more balance between an enjoyable game and casino tactics to get every cent from players.

This sums it all up very well: https://gamepress.gg/opinion-current-state-star-wars-galaxy-heroes

I was one of those who defend CG as well. I understand CG need to make profit to keep the game running and feed its employees. But the greed of CG is extraordinary. The lack of foresight and turn this game to extract every ounce of profit is disgusting.

The FAQ and State of the Galaxy are just PR exercise merely to give a pretense that they are engaging with the community. Questions asked and their response is "they re looking at it" and no proposed actions or timeline is given to action on.

SWGOH reddit has now become an obituary where players explained why they quit this game despite investing money and playing it everyday for the last 3 years. Never see a game where its developers alienated its influencers who give free marketing and valuable feedback to the game.

Lol at this thread.

Op has some good points, which i agree with but it went a bit sideways from there.

The idea that worse problems in the world invalidate lesser problems is a form of common logical fallacy. Read more.

Overall, CG either cut the cord with this IP or have a little more balance with a fair and enjoyable game for players. You know the ones who provide your paycheck.

Lets be realistic here, even if they are in the wrong 100% of the time and every choice they made that has upset (part of) the playerbase was a mistake and continue the way they're going, they'll still get that paycheck because "we" won't stop spending.
The game has had it's peak, it's almost 4 years old. For me personally the grind is starting wear me down. It's not so much the grind itself, but the reward at the end isn't getting me super hyped anymore. Do i want a fully relic-ed NS team? Sure, but when i'm finally done i'm not super excited about it anymore. To me that's just an indication that i'm getting bored with the game, something that would eventually happen regardless. Even if they cut the grind in half, i still wouldn't get super hyped anymore.
Having played over 3 and a half year this game has exceeded my expectations by a mile and i'm still having fun playing, mainly with GAC. I can list all my issues with the game and the devs, but while resolving those would increase my player enjoyment, it certainly wouldn't for the entire playerbase. In the end i'll just call it quits when i don't enjoy the game anymore, it's not like the game/devs will ever change. I'l chaulk it up to the nature of the beast that's called the freemium model.

While what you said is fair, I think you overlooked my point.

Grinds are fine and are necessary. I actually don't mind Relics, just don't make tone deaf statements about them and other stupid comments that are full of BS. Additionally, if I go through the hoops if completing your most difficult event reward me adequately. My GAS is just collecting dust and will be for some time.
