Conquest Launch [MEGA]

Really enjoying the new mode, but would like to be able to earn conquest credits after completion so that we can still buy gear from the store, unequip data disks so that I can try different combinations, it would also give an incentive to re-play once completed.

I just demolished a hugely protection stacked Nest....with 3po's basic.

it's one of my favorite disks. Padme heals her team? Kills Gen Sky :joy:

After completing conquest on normal I was wondering about difficulty ramp up on hard. If you get the red crate on normal will the difficulty to get the lowest crate on hard be on par or will it be much harder?
Is there any information on what things can be available in the conquest store? Which characters and gear are on rotation?
If you fail a battle attempt I understand you will lose out on the energy needed to start the battle but will the characters also lose stamina or is that only spent after a win?

Stamina is not used on a loss.

There is no data and I dont thinknthey could say for sure what you can do in Hard just because you maxed out the rewards on Normal.

The ramp should feel similar, just starting at relic levels.

The first crate was relatively easy to get, just 1-2 sectors depending on your success rate and feats you can get done in that time.

I would suspect anyone maxing out normal, easily, will be looking at the second crate in no problem. But who knows right now.

Thanks :)

I’m really enjoying the new Conquest game mode now 1 week into the first event.

I think the 2-week timeline at this point for the event seems just right, I’m a 3.2mil gp player and after approx 7 days I’m nearing finishing sector 5, but I still have many feats and stars to clean up in the previous sectors and that’s why I think the 2 week timeline is perfect!

I think it would be great if a UI could be added in battle for specific boss feats so that you can see your progress for the feat in game instead of trying to guess, also doesn’t affect me, but having an “easy” mode for lower level players that is NOT mandatory I think would be helpful for ALL players to have the fun experience of conquest.

Final suggestion for feedback I have it in the data disk inventory, I’d there was a way to “read” or “preview” the data disks in your inventory before equipping them, makes it easier to manage data disks and also doesn’t waste or spend conquest currency equipping them just to be able to see what their info is.

Thanks , keep up the great work

Just finished my first pass through Normal. I have a few feats to wrap up but should have no issue getting top reward crate, and I have used no refreshes and removed zero disks. I mostly enjoyed this game mode. I have some friendly, hopefully constructive, feedback below.

Less RNG on disks offered, please. I saw my first and only purple on the node right before the S5 boss. Others have screenshots where they saw 2 or 3 or 4.

Remove cost to unequip disks, or at least don't use Conquest Credits (maybe 1 energy per slot removed). In my opinion, disks were the most exciting new feature, but it costs currency whose value we don't fully know yet to play with the new toy. Being the stingy, f2p, try-hard that I am, I removed none the whole time and didn't have the fun of equipping different disks.

We need to be able to see enemy stats, please. Some teams only work if you go first. I saw a team of S5 Ewoks outrun a GL for first turn.

As others have mentioned, some kind of in-battle indicator of feat progress would be great.

There are over a hundred toons in this game, many of them with leadership abilities. I would prefer more diverse enemy comps.

I personally hated the feats. Rather than using the depth of my roster, I found 2 teams each sector that could contribute to sector feats and just rotated between them. I would have more fun with no feats and a bigger stamina cost per battle.

I just finished my run on the conquest. And by finished, I mean just beating the last boss, not getting a full score. And I'd like to share my thoughts on it.

First many thanks and thumb up to CG for this new game mode. I find it fun, interesting, the stamina, the data disc, the modifiers,... all of these add something new to the game.

Now some remarks and suggestions:

Difficulty
The normal mode was fine for me. As I've beaten the last boss, I could go in hard mode next time, but not sure I'll do it. Why ? Because if I chose it, I could be quickly blocked and having a 2 weeks event finished after 2-3 days would not be fun (could even be sooner as we start without any data disc versus enemy with higher relic level than the last level of the normal mode, but the enemy will still have their modifiers). This remark on being blocked very soon on a 2 weeks event is also something less advanced players already faced in normal mode.
Maybe an alternative would be to have a third mode, easier than the normal, and rescale a little bit the difficulty to overlap partially, like
- Easy : G10 to R1
- Normal : R0 to R4
- Hard : R4 to R8

Data Disc
Very interesting, and could add a lot to the strategic part of this new mode if it was for 3 things that IMHO are problematic :
- The randomness of them. I finished my trip on the five sectors, and never found any 4 dots data disc, and the only 3 dots I got is the Leader's resolve (in fact, I could have 4 of them I think...). Suggestion to resolve this : Avoid proposing the same data disc multiple times on the same step, and having at least a guaranteed 4 dots at some point (maybe after the sector 2 and 4 bosses).
- The cost to swap them. Ok, 5 conquest credits may seem not a lot, but when I must chose between swapping 3 data discs or buying a stun gun in the shop, I try to keep the credit for the stun gun.
- Managing them is not easy. When I want to change something, usually I start to add all my data Disc, to be able to see their description, and then I remove to reach the 12 limit.

Feats
At first, I was like 'Oh no, feats again, and moreover, 3 different layers of feats...'. But at the end, feats are what add some salt to this new game mode. Without them, you could just 2 team the whole conquest, as the stamina of 2 teams refill in 5 hours, and you need 6 hours to get the energy to play them.
One type of feat I particularly don't like are the win X fights with Jedi/Sith/Other.

Rewards
Rewards seems good, but decreasing the number of gear box from tier 6 to tier 7 is a bad surprise, and if it wasn't for the Razor Crest shards, I think I'd choose to keep the tier 6 rewards.

Duration
2 weeks for the event is a good duration, but the planned frequency (once per month) means we have a lot to do/play during 2 weeks, and less during the 2 other weeks (except if there is another game mode in preparation to fill the gap).
An easy solution would be to always have a conquest running. Another solution would be to have a full month event with not only 5 sector, but 10 and with a difficulty raising slower (and maybe a first reward box after 2 weeks and the possibility for weaker player to reset their progression)

Enemy
There could be more different teams of enemy to fights, there is around 200 different toons, and I have the feeling I saw not more than 60-70 different. Maybe also more different modifiers for the same kind of team.

Fleet
I'd like to see fleet involved in the conquest. Ships take a big part of the Star Wars movies, and conquest could be a good way to give them a better place.
I could imagine having a whole fleet sector, or maybe just some points inside each sector.

I accept any advice concerning my dilemma about running next run in hard mode.
