I don't mind them. Whales support the rest of us. They need something to whale on. These are a nice monthly invoice they can collect, so we can all play this game.

Wales can't support a game they have walked away from

Rugby League?

So you are saying the whales wouldn’t spend money on something else new that they come up with? They only plan to spend on datacrons? How about scrap them and come up with something else…instead on doubling down on the worst thing introduced to the game.

I guess I would have to ask, "Why not both?" If you can get continuous income in addition to burst income, I don't see why you'd limit yourself to one or the other.

My guess is eventually they will chase off enough players that the game collapses.

I legit want to know who provided this alleged feedback that they are responding to. This "feedback" is probably the devs asking each other over Taco Tuesday lunch in the break room.

Show your feedback source...c'mon now...let's see where this feedback came from

Here's the tell that they're not listening;

"characters who may no longer be in your rotation."

My most powerful datacrons are on SEE, JMK and JML. I do not waste datacrons on characters I don't use because they are a) not relic'd and b) why waste something that takes so much effort on a low-power character? There is no sense in using a datacron on a non-GL when you have GL right there.

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 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.

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..
