So, bugs aside, considering that this is a game about collecting Star Wars dolls and having them fight one another, is there anything about collecting Star Wars dolls that you actually like? Because a helluva lot of the criticism of things that get added to the game, as I see it, seems to boil down to being mad that you have to engage with the core concept of the game—collecting Star Wars dolls.

You must’ve missed out on the empty promises CG made in the past. On top of CG knowing how unpopular datacrons were when it got leaked and they still went ahead with it. Good game developers should understand that if a leak proved something they were working on was extremely unpopular, it should be shelved.

Yeah, but everything is unpopular, and then people just keep on playing anyway and farm the hell out of whatever it was they didn’t like and make videos about how much they like the thing that they didn’t like and so on and so forth.

I’m just saying, we go through this every time and can we please fast forward past the performative kneejerk reactions to the part where people give three pieces of actual feedback after the exhibition and those three pieces get lost among the “It stinks I hate it” feedback from the same dozen people who seemingly don’t like anything about the game in the first place?

Almost spot on. I did start playing this for the dolls. Ships were just a cute garnish that I could ignore and not get too worked up about the simplified gameplay mechanics that prioritize rng over customization. Now important game modes are defined by ships. That, I don’t think I ever saw coming. I definitely never went into an App Store thinking I wanted to download a Star Wars game about ships.

I like ships, but I see your point here. The one thing I'd say, though, is that customization has been sorely lacking on the doll side as well as with ships (which, I guess in this metaphor, would be matchbox cars?). Differences in speed come down to squad composition and mods--but your point is still a valid one because with ships it's purely fleet composition.

So still no reliable counter to the S.S. Moby Dick aka the Executor fleet, still no fleet load out, still no increase to the mod cap, still no new raid or anything that you could call fun and exciting. Does anyone at $$CG$$ even actually play this game!!!! So many every day problems exist that annoy the living hell out of player’s and you can’t even be good enough to fix 1 or 2. We the players have given you BILLIONS of dollars and hours and hours of dedication the least you could do is do more than say “ we are looking into it “.

So they rolled out some kind of update that doesn’t even use these new Data-cons and they broke something.

What could possibly go wrong when we start out beta testing for them once they get used? ???
