Conquest Change - intentional?

They try new things all the time, some good for the players and some bad. Our feedback is what will steer things right if we keep pressing. It seems the majority if not all players are outraged by these conquest changes so it makes sense that it will be put back to the way it was before.

You must be new.

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.

If that really was what happened, it would have been wiser to add a new difficulty and up the gp requirement rather than tune the existing hard up to 11.

Yup pretty much.

They should be tuning content for the majority of players not the one percent.

if intentional its very sad. people are spending on conquest! lots of people are spending many crystals on it or even the 10/30 pass to get it easier/red boxing it and farming datacrons. conquest was in a good state its not needed to annoy everyone again and make it over tuned in hope to squeeze a few more bucks... its going to be the exact opposite! people are annoyed and wont spend more on an annoying gamemode its not that hard to understand -.-

I tend to buy the conquest pass +, despite not really needing it, because I can spend my currency on relics instead of shards, can farm more datacrons, etc, but I can’t bring myself to buy one this time, as who knows when my progress will be halted, running into a mini or sector boss that despite my roster, I’ll be unable to beat.

So back to free to play conquest and seeing where i get to.

I just don’t get how this wasn’t communicated. And how it’s radio silence today. They’ve done plenty of shady stuff over the years, but this is up there.

I truly think folks who bought the conquest pass and got stuck should be refunded or seek refunds through google or Apple.

it's not intentional, it's faulty. there is hardly any team that would complete Cere Junda feat in sector 1 miniboss.
They just don't test stuff, guess only marketing and sales are left with few overloaded developers..

even Sec1 bonus battle can't be completed by many teams which were possible last conquest. Last conquest Wookies would make easy work of those Bad Batch. now good luck if you get more than 3 turns

The reason why I'm upset is because it seems to me they've moved the goalposts. The way I see it... when you create an event you set the level of difficulty up front and you don't change it. If you want to introduce a new level of difficulty... no problem... create a new event that introduces that new level of difficulty.

Also, take the Leviathan... previous Capital ships were basically competitive with the new one but that's not the case with Profundity vs Lev. It seems to me they are changing the rules and I'm really REALLY dissatisfied with it.

I regularly pay the £29 for the Conquest event pass because I have a goal in mind that I want to achieve. In the past, I've been satisfied with my achievement but I'm certainly not with this round.

When issues like this happen it ruins trust and I'm seriously asking myself if I'm willing to trust them NOT to change the difficulty in future events and the conclusion I'm drawing is I don't. So, if I can't trust them, why play? I'm on the cusp of quitting forever.
