This game is near unplayable since they doubled the cost of relic materials. Why do it? Among the library full of bad decisions cg have made over the years, and this is the worst. I'm amazed it gets so little discussion

To be fair the challenges did not double gear, they added missing core gear.With that said the impact is generally overstated.

From scratch, there are 3 gear pieces that are probably used for scrapping.OP is probably running out faster becauseA ) they are progressing fasterB ) they dont farm the gear to scrap actively

It was discussed plenty when the announcement was made.That’s not to say I disagree with you. Posting in The Road Ahead and expecting the player base to make an extrapolation is far from adequate. At the very least, there should have been an in-game notification, along with an explanation of the consequences of their change.

If you wanna be intellectually honest you should at the very minimum support the idea that already farmed gear pre update should have it's original value kept and only gear earned post update should be halved in value.They essentially robbed of us a crazy amount of relic materials Nearly every content creator and many people here on the forums were advising that people scrap their surplus before the update that contained this change. I know I mentioned it to all of my guild mates because a lot of them don't watch SWGoH content or come to the forums. Anyone that didn't know about it before it happened was either being willfully ignorant or too far out of the loop to be impacted. If you knew about it and did nothing, that's on you, no one else - we were all given more than enough notice to take action to preserve the value of our gear stash.I wish they hadn't done it - I need relic materials like everyone else, but stop acting like you woke up one day and suddenly the Jawa Scavenger turned into Scrooge McDuck. At best you're being dishonest with yourself, and at worst you're intentionally trying to stir up drama on the forums.At this point it isn't about what the Devs did or didn't do - it's about what you as a player did in response to news that you had well ahead of time. If you acted appropriately, the relic value of your gear stash pre-update was preserved. If you failed to take action - that's on you. No one was robbed.

Had a stockpile before the change that I forgot to convert to relic stuff.Now only have half a stockpile. >.<

Doubling relic gear requirement madness

I doubt very much that people being ‘busy’ and having a life care at all if something changed in a pointless mobile game. Better not go this road for the sake of everyone here (myself included).

What is unreasonable? Taking your current stash value and giving you half of what it's worth in mats before reducing it's value is unreasonable? Having adequate in game warnings as well as a definite date for the update is unreasonable? No it's only unreasonable when you have the lowest kinds of expectations from a company to act in a way that benefits everyone instead of just themselves

Expecting having double the stuff which is not restrained to equivalent scavenger conversion is unreasonable. It's double the stuff everywhere else. This is unrelated to the issue as well. It would effect each player differently that's beyond the intent of this change.

But when did I say they should expect to double their stuff, I proposed two solutions which one is unreasonable?

I already explained how you misread the comment.

It isn't though. You require double of specific things, or at least the same things. You don't get that. You get double random stuff. I'm rapidly running out now

Everything that had its exchange rate halved had its drop rate doubled.

Can you state an example of what has not been doubled?

Maybe somebody already pointed this out

Yes

It wasn't an expectation, just a possible solution. Hardly an unreasonable one either, since bizarre hypotheticals (i.e. players sitting on thousands of Core Gear pieces) don't hold a lot of weight.

I am sitting on over 5,000 carbs, I don't think they want me to have 10,000.

How many do you think they want you to have?

Do you even need 10k more? I usually try to sit between 1k and 2k, which burns down to zero when GL reqs are finished, and I think I need about 4k more for every toon currently in game (HU memory is fuzzy)

And this is why there is such disconnect between players. I have no idea if the change to gear has such a significant impact.

However, when people have nil and people have 5000 of gear then those opposites will likely never agree. Its the equivalent of och just put Hounds Tooth in....

Personally for me, forums should go way and above what should be provided in game, problem is 3 sentences of updates in game doesnt quite cut it unless of course its trying to sell....and players who read forums shouldnt complain that others dont want to, the game has to give every single decision delivered in game.

Thing is, those external sources now earn from outwith the ingame communications....hotutils show how easy the devs could do it...

I didn't say I need 10k more, but if I were to do another GL with the same req's as Jabba, another cap ship with the same req's as Prof, and Aphra req's, it would take over 5k.
