Evolution of the game. The next 10 years
Huge shoutout to the team for the anniversary quests and rewards!
Slow Clap
As a day 1 player who has run five separate accounts (including five at once during my GAC junkie phase). I've seen every version of the "New Player Journey." The 10th-anniversary experience has been a masterclass in player onboarding.
However, I would not include that compliment to the "new era" content. To be blunt its a slog for new players. It's dull, and no amount of polish is going to make it "fun" for a fresh account. If CG wants to build a bridge for the next generation of whales and Krakens, you need to double down on what actually works: Lightspeed Tokens (LST's) and Lightspeed bundles (LSB's)
To keep the momentum going for another 10 years, here is a blueprint:
- Make Anniversary Quests Permanent: Turn these into "Journey Quests" for every new account. Refresh them every anniversary. Its the ultimate tool for F2P and P2W (plus it makes farming guides interesting for the next few years)
- Turn the current 6-month LST Roadmap into a 12-month LST Roadmap: The first six months of LST's (Jedi, Rebels, Bounty Hunters, etc.) allowed new players to actually compete in GAC, TW, and TB. To maintain this, CG should introduce six more factions that lead to more Legendaries
- Expand the Factions: We've seen the success of Phoenix, Inquisitors, etc. Now, let's finish the job. We need LST's for the "Legendary Path" factions: First Order (BB8), Geos (Padme), Resistance (JTR), Old Republic (Revans/Malak), Ewoks (C3P0)
I was strictly F2P until LSB's with incredible value dropped. I bought Bad Batch and Nightsister LSB's without blinking because the value was actually there. Crumb, Meathead, you guys know I love this game. Let's set it up for another decade.
Smash the thumbs up if you want permanent Anniversary Quests and more LST's!
