Datacron Set 4 + Feedback Response Information [MEGA]

This link was for the Original Datacron Q&A

Is there a reason why its been deleted ? A good reason? When I go to the URL (which I saved) it now says the discussion is not found.

Including datacron bonuses for GLs ruins the meta.
Raw data suggests that whales spent a ton of money on these meta killing GL datacrons. You should too!!!

The r3 requirement makes this completely inaccessible to the majority of players.
Raw data suggests that spending on relicing toons that have no need for relics on their own increased significantly after the launch of datacrons. Players should relic all toons, preferably with cash.

-CG Community Manager WHYP

I am just sad to see they still make the stats physical/special specific instead of just offense/defense/evasion/critical chance.

Perhaps when CG "heard" that people thought that datacrons were "fun" they got that mixed up with another word that would start with "fu"

I am sorry to say but after I read the new announcement my first thought was: They didn't even have one of those 3 points they made/used that was voiced by the community the most.

- DCs are still active on GLs
- they have still overpowered stats(especially for toons that don't need them)
- they are still active in pvp but not pve

Those are only 3 points that I know have been mentioned almost from everyone/ were the most agreed upon. If they would have listened, these would have been the very first points to address.

Edit for typo

They did actually listen to the second point.

Where did they do that? The stats still seem op especially for the toons!

Health steal was OP

Resistance penetration is not

Perhaps you meant alignment, faction, and toon bonuses. Stats are at levels 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8.

I haven't got stuck on a single team that shakes up the meta so that statement is false. All the teams I have been stuck on are Kenobi and JML with broken datacrons. The last round I blew 3 teams just to see how broken the datacrons are with clear counter teams. If you want people to accept datacons why not put them in every other game mode to be used? I would be more accepting of them at that point bc I would be able to max out most categories, payouts would be better, and it would take a lot less time. There is also wayyyy to much information to keep track of for a turn by turn game. Not to mention it changes every "couple" of months. No all the datacrons can have different rolls which means different mechanics that change the game. I don't want to read a book on datacrons when I log in or find a different mechanic to counter them. I HATE posing like this bc overall I love the game when they introduce a new character and you need to learn how to use them. They are permanent unless there is a refresh like when mace got one.Nothing but praise for the refreshes they have been nothing but GOOD.

Still waiting on an answer about the farming mats. Are we getting the same amount spread over 2 months (i.e. rate halved)? Or are we getting twice as many mats per set going forward?

i asked but CG has gone offline so remind me to ask again on monday noon EST!

God forbid that we get a direct answer from ONE of our TWO CM's. Why do we have to have a middle-person Community manager? No offense to your Ultra. I've always wondered what could possibly fill Crumbs day soooooo much that he ignores the community so much.


But on the topic: delete datacrons.

When the entire community is in an uproar over how much every everyone dislikes datacrons CG looks at unused datacrons as a sign that we need them to last longer. What a completely tone deaf post. These stupid datacons are sucking all the fun out of this game.

Its impossible to gather information about player interest in datacrons when they are essentially required to be competetive. If you look at in game data it will show players like me using and engaging with them despite my complete disdain for what they are. I don't usually post on the forums but I'm so completely frustrated any more.

Instead of addressing the problems with cheaters.... (check out the " to catch a cheater" discord server; its outta control how few reported cheaters actually get banned) they introduce datacrons which makes it infinitely easier for cheaters to go unnoticed... my entire fleet shard plus gac opponents of the known cheater have been reporting the same cheater for months on end.


Please CG just admit that datacons were a mistake. It takes more courage to admit when we're wrong than to double down on our mistakes hoping for a better outcome. Please give the community what we've been asking for in the forms of new playable content and gear economy. Modifiers don't count as content. And requiring full squads at relic 5 for every new thing being released is insane when we still can't get toons to relic 0 fast enough already.


Thank you

A vast majority of people, that I’ve seen, here, Reddit and on YouTube all hate datacrons. Where the response to that?

They won't get rid of datacrons, they are here to stay

Instead of asking for the impossible, you should focus on, "okay, what can CG do for us, to make them tolerable and acceptable?"

If you gave feedback regarding that, you would've seen it this update, probably

Says who?

Datacrons could be a blip in the fiscal quarter because the fan base refuses to engage with temporary resources.

I remember Tournaments.. They don't exist anymore., neither could Datacrons.. It all depends if the players "engage" or not..
