Content

(Another complaint thread?)

We need more content. By that, I mean something fresh and new.

Over the past quarter we got the Geo TB which is nice but it's just a reskinned Hoth TB with only a few new characters and with overly boosted stats. Plus our last TB is 2 years old so this had 2 years of time and only introduced a few new characters.

GAC is just GA with more issues

However we did get Geo Brood (amazingly accessible and fun) and "Shark Tea" who is inaccessible without money.

The Negotiator is a new capital ship that wont be accessible to whales for months upon months.

We need more stuff and something that is new with new mechanics. The Acklay mini raid was supposed to be new but with pre reworked Geos you couldn't get passed the protection at g12. So you definitely need to have a G13 Geo squad.

Yes this is a "complaint" thread because that's what they call criticism nowadays but this game needs something actually new and not reskinned for it to bring in more players

Hopefully Carrie's replacement is more suited for this position and makes SWGOH popular again because I dont want to see this game die.
  • I would also like to add that I personally don’t blame the devs. They are probably under staffed and over worked as it is. It would just align with common sense that once this game had its 1st 100 million dollar year the team would grow vastly and production would ramp up. Many of the ideas I stated could be very well tuned to help players grind the people they love and take away from pvp that not everyone seems to be enjoying to the same degree. Example: I love bounty hunters, give us mode that allows me to take my bounty hunters or any faction for that matter to unlock new skins for one each time it comes around. Bam new game mode applicable to every faction in game! no paywall behind and literally endless cycles that seem fresh every single time. if tuned to be playable by new and old players alike that’s more along the lines of “new” content compared to revamped content. I like both types and we need both types to help cater to more audiences and GPs
  • You were given Shaak Ti for free. She's usable at low stars. I've got a friend who's doing great things in GA with her 3* G11 zzShaak Ti and G12 clones.

    Yeah I'm 99% sure these guys are understaffed. I think EA would be to blame because they would probably cut costs

    There has been plenty of new content and new characters added lately, just because it's not what you may want as an individual does not detract from the fact there is a profusion of new content compared to when I started the game.


    I like the content that's not my point. This company annually brings in over $100 million dollars and this is all we got for this quarter.

    Believe it or not, some people want them to back off new content so they can get 'caught up'. Most of the development is building toward more content and diversity of modes within the game. Whether the level of new change matches your definition will get you into all kinds of conversation, which is exactly what the forums are for. :D Thanks for sticking with us for three years. We have come a VERY long way since launch (addition of guilds, raids, TB, TW, GA, chat, etc.). They know we still want a sandbox.... I encourage you to look through the specific feedback channels and add to those threads; the devs do look at these forums.

    I'm caught up. I've actually been charting the number of shards needed to take all characters and ships to 7*. Since the beginning of November the number has dwindled from just under 5000 to about 500 (I'm not including Negotiator or Shaak Ti as neither is currently farmable in a meaningful way, but that would make it about 1100).

    I am a VERY light spender (I bought that $10 gear pack twice), so it's kind of a bad sign that someone who doesn't spend money is running out of things to collect in a game about collecting things. Based on the trend, I will only have Emperor's Shuttle and presumably Shaak Ti left on August 31st.

    There's also the concurrent issue that there's nothing to do with some of the new content. I farmed Sith Fighter, B-28 Bomber, etc. and the only thing I can do is put them in platoons; there aren't enough capital ships to use them in TW and they are largely ineffective in any existing team compositions. I guess the pictures are pretty to look at.
