Did CG really break their promise regarding gear changes?

So some guy goes to the Star Wars convention and asks CG when are you going to implement the other changes to gear economy as promised.

A CG representative replies 'We have.'

Then the convention goer shows a thread where further changes were promised. This was then picked up by certain youtubers who love to fight with CG and bam a fire was started.

Now we have a lot of players shouting 'CG broke their promise!' I'm sure most of these witch finders have less clarity on the matter than I do. And I am totally in the dark.

Now, a Hynesy/Crumb stream is being quoted as a source of further broken promises.

However, I remember the last Doja/Crumb/Hynesy/Drunk Ranger stream. In that Crumb was very specific.

'We don't want to rush gear changes because (blah blah blah rubbish reasons) so here's what we intend to do:

In that, he was quite specific. The idea was to make some changes until CG was happy with the balance. If further changes were needed, then they'd make them.

So that's how I understood the situation, and with that for good or for worse they kept their promise.........from my perspective. They had a list of changes, they did some until happy and stopped. As I understood was their intention.

So to clarify, can somebody who's shouting 'CG broke their promise' actually supply promised changes that weren't issued?

I'm not saying they don't exist, just I'm a bit doubtful as what Crumb said in a previous stream, seems accurate to our current situation.

    Never saw that official explanation. I thought the whales got angry about not being able to get the reward character, was it Sun Fac or Shoretrooper?


    Sun Fac was Aurodium. Pretty sure Shoretrooper was the last tournament character. But they were definitely cancelled because of cheating, not because whales refused to spend on them. They actually caused quite the crystal drain.

    Well if that was the official reason I stand corrected. But it’s strange that they cared about collusion in tournaments when they never gave a hoot about it in squad & fleet arena.


    Eh, different situation entirely.

    We are also aware that some players are colluding to quickly gain points in the Tournament. This behavior is not something we encourage and we will be taking steps to prevent this in future tournaments.

  • Doesn’t really say they removed tournaments because of collusion though. Just acknowledging they have issues with it.
  • So here’s the official reason, no mention of cheating/collusion

    It's interesting that people are using C-Rancor and the R5 gate when the real R5 gate right now is datacrons. How many people have leveled up a datacron to rank 6 only to find out it doesn't work because Zombie or Pao is G12. Datacrons are not going away and Relic 5 is the new baseline for PVP content.


    Was there an announcement that Datacrons are here to stay that I missed? I thought this was an "exhibition season" and based off of this forum, Reddit, Discord and YouTube, it is not well received. Those who I have seen that are talking somewhat favorable are some content creators.. Which in all honesty, is a little suspect. But maybe I am too cynical..

    We see how the packs have been lowered in price, CG is offering Bonus drops for Set 3 to get people interested and I just don't see these Datacrons lasting in their current form..



    They did something similar when conquest was new. Everyone loved it, so they made it far worse. Not expecting any changes that make datacrons better in any way. They should remove them, we will probably get something even worse.
