Done with SWGOH

First, thank you to those you work hard and have good ideas that are never introduced into the game and instead we get whatever this BS is.

Your entire update is a cash grab and pay to win only. Nothing is F2P or new player friendly. 

Coliseum. It is boring and is a whaler/spend to play/ cashgrab mode only. If you dont spend money you dont get high enough on leaderboards to get any amount of a useful reward. Plus whose idea was it that at a certain point you can only do 1 damage? Also you dont let us mix and match the team, you force us to use certain characters.

The new characters. First its takes 3 months to fully get them, how does that make us equal. 2nd - $300 doesnt even get you a full character. it gets you only 6 stars and gear xIII. You cant even use these characters at that level because of relic delta.  you once said this was going to be f2p & new player friendly, i guess we must have different definitions of this. You said this would put everyone on a even playing field. It clearly wont and on top of that it still still too long, and honestly seems even longer to get characters, let alone it costing way more too.

Grand Arena. Matchmaking is still broken. Game lags and times you out almost every battle. Its NOT FUN. This gamemode kept many around and now will keep many people quitting your game. There is also no more strategy in this gamemode. 

Relic Delta. Yall should be ashamed. You didnt need this. Everyone told you not to do this. GA is not fun anymore, there is no strategy. TW, TB are going to be awful. Conquest, yeah cool u lowered the relic levels but still going to be awful. All this based on ONE ROUND of GA. Teams that were easily beaten now run through everyone like its nothing because of a relic level difference. Also that change you made that we can get relics on non 7 stars, IRRELEVANT now, so pointless work put into it that you killed your own GREAT IDEA. This is not right CG. There is zero point to have this in your game.

Relic Lvls. First Relic 10 is EXTREMELY expensive even for whales. Second - you did nothing to make it easier to go from Relic 1 to Relic 7. Sure it might be slightly easier from R7-R9 but you havent done anything significant about the bottlenecks still. If you wanted to make it easier, maybe eliminate the gear scrapping need in relics (so all the components needed) and just keep it to Relic Mats only? This is every player friendly.

Journey Guide. I hate to say it but clearly yall dont test your game fully. You CANT complete any journey guide that has loaned characters because of your relic delta. Which means players cant progress their teams and accounts. which in turn makes the game STALE and NOT FUN. Example: Starkiller event.

Journey Quests. This is a good idea on the surface. I like them alot. HOWEVER, some of the requirements to unlock them, are NOT new player friendly as you previously stated they would be. Example: Full Rebel team. Example: Inflict Vulnerability. Some minor tweaks to that and this would be outstanding.

Galatic Challenges. Should have NEVER be removed or replaced. They werent the nest but they were way better than what we have now.

Raids. Extremely boring. Not enough rewards given all the new changes even before this update.

Store Changes. I like the Relic material being cheaper, HOWEVER, i think you should delete that component material and make relics be mats ONLY. Plus because you made it cheaper, its now a issue of we dont have enough rewards for everything. That gear of the lower currency is very useful to new players and now your putting them and F2P in a bad spot to chose or SPEND MONEY. Again forcing pay to play.

Currency. Way to much. There is over 17 different currencies in the game. This is insane and not needed. Plus half the currencies in the game barely get you anything worth while. You could easily combine say Cantina Currency & the silver brick currency into one currency & reward section.

I appreciate the countless work you guys did to put this update together but this just isnt it. Thousands of people are leaving by the day based on posts and comments from all sources. The game is still stale. The characters are very underwhelming. The ability to be a F2P or New player is near impossible now (which shouldnt have been the goal). The whales even think this entire update isnt good. There is no more strategy. But worst of all, there is NO MORE FUN. Just who cane get those 3 wacky numbers on the back of grandmothers credit card inserted quickest. 

If you want to keep the game alive and keep the fan base here so you can keep studio lights on, I highly suggest listening to the community and make sweeping changes asap or you might lose the ability to save the game.

  • According to the games stores active player numbers have halved in the last 6months, can only imagine what this tripe will do

  • Nice write up and I completely agree with you. I’ve been a day one player and logged in everyday to do my daily challenges and farm for my toons. With every update, the game became more of a grind and by the time you unlock a new character and spends months farming to upgrade, they become irrelevant. It just kept leaning towards pay to play.  This last update was the nail in the coffin. Unless you want to spent hundreds of dollars every month, free to play players are not going to be able to do anything. EA just wants money and don’t care about the players. I’d be willing to bay 5-10 bucks for something decent but 300-400 for one character is ridiculous. This new update didn’t even add any QoL or UI updates, just advertise more money grab events. 10 years gone and I’m done with this garbage. Such a shame.

    HUGE QoL is just behind the door. Biggest ever!! 

    Wait for it....

    You knew it, one action doesn't take 8secs . That so huge QoL! From 0 to anything is best ever % increase!!

  • Unfortunately, money speaks louder than words. If CG loses 1/3 of their paying players, but the rest buy 3x more expensive characters, they still made more money. Our feedback is just an annoying buzzing around their ears.

    EA needs your money so they can pay off their debt to Silver Lake Partners, and Affinity Partners
