Constant changing of zeta skills makes it impossible to plan

Obviously it's a marketing ploy.

Betraying customer confidence is one heck of a marketing ploy.

I hope they get your message

You have to roll the dice. If you don't you'll always be behind. Just put Zetas on who you would actually enjoy using.. this way at least you're happy with your future nerfed toon lol

There's a significant difference between fixing a legitimate bug and altering how things work because ... well ... they didn't really understand how their customers would use the skills and abilities once they were released. Bug fixes, even if unpopular, are to be expected. Random changes erode trust. Any new content, or changes to existing content, should be vetted through a beta testing period before going live. I'm not sure that's happening. If it is, they need a larger pool of beta testers, because there's plenty of evidence to suggest that what they're doing isn't working very well.

I honestly thought we were past this with CG. There was nothing on earth that would have made me invest in Barriss. As someone up the thread said, "if it's too good to be true..." I just knew she was going to be nerfed and I also knew this forum would literally be in flames the second it happened. To my surprise they handled it perfectly. They did what they had to do and took care of those affected. I hope I'm surprised with the way they respond to those that will suffer due to this raid damage nerf as well. My guess is that they won't at all.

Edit: minor text fixes

it's a pita for sure. Finding out g9 dathcha is a better leader than g11 zader for my tfp palp 2 taunts p3 hAAT team currently was certainly not why i zeta'd vader ;)

...so like Chaze? Annihilation? What are you actually saying here?

there is something obvious making it so (Barris unique persisting past death, Vader leader counting double for Sith-Empire).

EP was what people had in mind here. Funnily enough you put Barriss (reimbursed) and Vader (not reimbursed) in the same group.

I did not know Vader was broken and I try to follow this forum. Placed my first zeta on him because I wanted, not because I thought he was too good, just a week or so ago.

Consider the skill without that bit and judge if it's still worth it.

What you are saying is that we as players should be able to gauge how the toons should be and then make our decisions based on that? That doesn't work.

There are very obvious bugs (hello, tie reaper) and then a lot of not so obvious ones. Reading the bug notes it seems like Tie Reaper is meant to work from the reinforcements, or was that addressed? I wouldn't know, as the bug notes do not say and I don't have the ship. Should I know invest to it knowing that it may still be bugged or should I think that it is now working as intended?

I just don't know.

Personally I think having a zeta that takes so long to get and is a permanent part of a toon after you equip it and with constant changes that may or may not happen to how the ability works and is used that they should be removable like mods. ESPECIALLY if it's on a leader ability.

Now I really like the idea of when you make a decision in game it has consequences such as it's on your toon forever after you equip it. So I like idea behind zetas. My problem is you can't be releasing these things that aren't in their final unbuggy state when they are so powerful in game, until they aren't. Cause once they aren't you never use that zeta leader ability again except for autoing challenges or whatever.

I certainly hope this practice of zeta leader abilities does not continue as is. Gonna get old real quick when you use zeta leader for a week then next zeta leader comes out as a counter to previous one. Zaul is an awesome counter to zader now which is such a shame since zader was already very beatable. Chaze team combos are the ones that need counters. They need aoe buff remover or at least taunt remover besides a 3 star nihils.

Unless that is the game philosophy now; use your zeta on leader ability, then use next one on next leader ability that counters previous one, and repeat next month. Which would explain the bad will they are creating by not allowing them to be unequipped.

Or appropriate testing to get the bugs out would solve the issue, prior to rolling out new features

Lol this is EA! They have a LOT of experience in this just looking back at all the NHL, Fifa and NBA game series.

Don't forget about Madden Mobile. That's the other EA game I play and the one that alerted me to EA practices with low drop rates with terrible rng. It's the sole reason I decided to go f2p here. I only still play that one cause of my league or else I wouldn't bother with the frustration.
