I've been told by opponenets that my 7* Executor fleet is "shockingly easy" to beat, and they're using G11 pilots - if that isn't a clear indication of a failure by @CG_Miller and co then I don't know what is! We've had it made clear to us with the non-GL character nerfs that the "level of investment" is to be of paramount importance in countering something, well that's simply not even close to being true with the counters to the Executor fleet and the cost we had in terms of requirements to get it!

I know Executor is not what we expected at 7*, but that would take it to another level. Could you please give more details, like the line up you're using and the one they're using, as well as the gear level of the different pilots ?

My Executor is 7 star, all pilots relic’d to at least r5, with 6 dot mods.

I get beaten on auto by a 4 star with a G8 Bando.

It’s a joke.

Mirror line up ?

They usually have Xanadu instead of my IG2000.

Otherwise HT and RC

Close enough. Here is your like ;)

They need to buff the Executor sooner rather than later as its not fair to those who paid for this ship to be ahead, if they leave it too late then everyone will have the ship by the time its actually as how they intended it.

The fact every single fleet in game beats the Executor fleet deeply saddens me, in away, it almost feels like they falsely advertised this ship on purpose to make a bigger sale.
Personally i wont be spending money on early characters / ships again, if its not deceit from CG then it is quite clear now that they dont test these things before release, and if they do, they have no idea about how people play their own game with the characters an ships they use.
This ship needs to be buffed ASAP before its rendered inert by everyone unlocking it.


From now on i will be waiting at least 1 month or more before going for a brand new character.

Absolutely spot on.

There are just over 3 weeks left before everyone can get it to max stars again, meaning the window for those that spent/ used crystals for the early advantage (or at least, what had been falsely advertised by the devs on multiple platforms), becomes null and void.

At this point they are going to be looking at refunding maxed Executor crystals (at least partially) whether by choice or force.

I really can't believe they haven't commented further on this. We've been through a lot with this company since the beginning of this game. A lot of it hasn't been that bad and people are really just venting but nothing compares to this issue. I just can't fathom that they haven't learned by now that a little communication goes a long way. With how long this is dragging out there has to be major compensation.

I’m giving them until tonight. Tomorrow I start with r button. I’m just over the absolute ineptitude and lack of meaningful communication when they mess up. We all know there will be no true make good compensation outside possibly 3 CWC shards. They get worse and worse every year

There are definitely issues, mainly the thing with low stars being better, but this whining is too much.

my malevolence just killed two 4*s and a 7* in fleet arena. all 3 wins were quite comfortable. Actually the 7* was easier than one of the 4*s. Maybe your arena has ppl that don't care to learn the counters or they just aren't that good. I know in my fleet arena ppl are only killing executors if they have to and would rather kill a non-executor. Today was the first time I really went after executors, myself. After winning my first battle, the others felt alot easier.

My cost to beat an executor was to give Spy two more 6 dot mods. I mean I'm fine with it cuz I don't have the ship but if I was the one who spent all those crystals for the so-called 'unbeatable' fleet, I would be furious.

The star differential issue is what people are most concerned about. That should've been priority one and fixed or at least close to fixed by now. Maybe it is... we'd never know though.

The defensive viability against old fleets is the lesser concern but still a valid one. Nobody wants new things to be completely unbeatable but you should have to work for it and be subject to RNG smoking you. I've been on both sides of the coin in the past and they've typically struck a good balance (eventually). I expect they'll do the same here.

Well at this point I just want my crystals back for the waste that is a 7* Executor. I’d gladly revert back to 6*. It’s a shame they made something worse the more you upgrade it.

I hope they realize people simply aren't going to wait in order to start initiating reparations on this. They'd do themselves a huge service by simply issuing a statement today with a bit more detail than "in the future".

Unfortunately they will not issue any statement with more information until that information is in a solid place.
