If this is really as intended, CG could have put out something out in advance along the lines of "as players roster strength has grown, it has reached a point that hard Conquest no longer presents the level of challenge as originally invisaged and intended. As such, future Conquest series (hard) will be scaled at a higher level of difficulty - most notably on boss nodes".

Yes people would have been angry. But at least it would have been forewarned. I'd imagine we are now in a situation that some people, who could previously go deep into hard Conquest, are stuck in the middle of sector 1 and may remain that way for nearly 2 weeks.

The thing is, this isn't just an issue on the Hard difficulty. They also extremely over-tuned the Normal difficulty too. I'm currently at 3Mil. Last couple conquests I was able to make it to Sector 4. Normally I'd make it to the 3rd chest but last one I was lucky and made it to the 4th. This one, if they don't scale it back, I might not even make it to the first chest. But, unlike Hard mode, they aren't even talking about tweaking Normal. In order to beat the Rancor (which is apparently suppose to be GEAR 12) I needed A relic 5 Revan and a Relic 7 Yoda to squeak past thanks to good RNG.

Its incredibly over tuned now. The last few conquests I was able to get the 4th or even the 5 crate on normal difficulty with 2m. Now I cannot even get the first chest as I cannot beat the rancor boss at all. Why would I ever even want to engage with this game mode at all if its literally impossible for me to progress. I'm worried CG will only fix the hard mode for conquest and then everyone doing Normal just wont be able to play. It makes no sense if they want to increase player engagement with conquest they should improve QOL not make the game mode impossibly difficult. Before the conquest pass was tempting to get but now it is worthless to me. Like you said I liked conquest before and now I cannot play it, a shame really.

Still haven't heard a word from cg or ea about an eta for a fix on normal conquest. The rancor on hard is easier than the rancor on normal currently.

wait a bit - now they're investigating the new ship
