Datacron bust

You really don’t understand these at all, do you?

My first stat was crit damage, second stat was health steal. Even if it rolls a Light Side ability at level 3 I can still use that datacron on any Dark Side team with at least relic 3 and get crit damage and health steal for all of them.

Not being able to click on the components to find out where they are available is awful. There are too many and they are too similar looking - I shouldn't have to write down a shopping list.

Please make them like gear or relic materials; not sure how this was overlooked. The game UI/UX shouldn't be getting worse over time.

This. I tried to click on the needed item (like every other game mode) and it wouldnt allow me to "find" it. I gave up at that point since the screen is so small and I don't want to mistakingly get the wrong thing. Waste of time.

Well...why should i even bother make even one set, when it´s only temporary? It feels too complicated, time consuming, unrewarding and complete game of chance. For a little boost in GA and TW? Why shouldn´t i use crystals and other recources on gear, characters, relics and much more usefull things? Where´s the fun and real motivation for majority of players except most spending whales?

That´s all i want to say. I like this game and i don´t hate this update. Only thing i feel is a complete apathy and i really don´t understand what´s the point of them. I know, making more money, but where´s the real benefit for community?

I mean, if they are that cumbersome to understand, isn't that yet another argument for them being a total bust? No one wanted more complexity in this game. So many characters and kits to fill your cup with complexity already.
This comes off as a tone deaf recurring cash grab since these D-Crons are temporary.
I want nothing more in this game right now than to have D-Crons removed from the game.

I don't know what you were excited about since they explained all of this a while back? People don't want to invest in high level relics on most characters and CG doesn't like it. So they created a way to force you into engaging with higher relic levels.

Hey CG. Do you hate your playerbase?

I don’t understand why some are getting so frustrated. I don’t think it’s particularly complicated, draining of time or resources. All I have farmed on the datacron node in conquest is old republic and Sith global feat and I have had enough resources to start rolling stats on several datacron already. I usually do these feats on weak enemies in sector 1 anyway as these are weak teams in my roster, so now I actually get some rewards when using energy and stamina. We have not even seen the rewards for TW and there is more in the reward crate at end of conquest.

Start rerolling or dismantling them adn see the costs associated with those things.

Okay, but it’s the same cost for everyone aside from luck which everything in this game requires, with the level of RNG. Someone may get the perfect roll they want straight up with just the resources from conquest. Which would be an amazing jackpot. If they don’t, they can make use of what they have which is likely competitive with a majority of the community or they can punch up like many skilled lower GP players do in GAC already, in the crazy matchmaking. Or they can get the credit card out and P2W like in any other free to play mobile game. Not quite sure what’s changed in this dynamic.

The advantage became temporary. While you can argue other investments are as such since they age, they don't evaporate and you can keep building them.

Thing everyone is forgetting is that it’s a rolling evaporation. They’re talking like every month you start over from scratch.

One third of your stuff will fade each month, since there’s a cap of 30 datacrons that means roughly 10 will expire just in time for a new set to begin. You can farm 10 datacrons in a month, can’t you?

Not sure I get what you mean, doesn't it all go away at the end of current cycle?

there will be 3 active at the same time max. set1 set 2 set 3 come out in stages, when 4 comes out 1 is automatically dismantled. You know, the more I talk and think about this the more ridiculously convoluted it sounds.

btw @NicWester it's a limit of 30 datacrons per set. So you could in theory have 90 active when set 3 becomes available. Which if you think about it in terms of TW.....ew.
