As someone who almost always got the Red Crate in Galactic challenge, the update promised time savings - unfortunately I don't see it, in fact, the current set up forces you to do potentially more battles to do all of the feats you can get.I did RF's fine, but did not get the 400% TMR feat. So i did the TMR feat on T10 and thew in a 5 star Huyang hoping to get the win with 3 star, 4 star, and 5 star Huyang feats from the lower tiers, But it did not work, so now i have to drop down and do a 3rd battle on a much lower tier just to complete the feat. Fortunately doing a T6 battle did complete the lower tiers, but you should change this behavior. If i win with the current marquee regardless of the number of stars, it should complete all feats in lower tiers that the character is eligible for.

New GC feels like a new money Cash grab. Episode Pass? Really? That's just inventing a new gatekeeping mechanic to a former free mode which is now a paid mode. CG being the greedy company, again.

The money grab is one thing, but of all the feats to replace with a the blatant spend money on our pass feat, was the “complete battle” - the most basic feat so anyone with any level roster can at least get some points, and they took it away lower GP players might not be able to get any feats now

Nothing but lies from cg. Time savings.....what a joke. CG would rather lie to us than tell the truth.

Where are the character shards?? We don't get character shards from GC rewards anymore. It's NOT comparable to a red crate. They've charged money, removed rewards, added time, and it was already a game mode no one really liked. Now people don't even know how to use it. They killed the app. SO MANY people talking about quitting now. First time I've ever seen an in-app guild message about how much the app sucks. I'm in a really casual, easy going guild, and ... I mean EA has upset basically everyone. Still trying to decide if I delete the app this week once and for all. I'm trying to give it a chance, but it's seriously bad. I can't imagine putting up with these new systems for much longer.

The GC challenges was said to be whats going to give you a huge chunk of the episode points. Only being able to complete 1-2 especially only to the gear 11 phase. Dailies aren't giving a whole lot and if you dont buy the pass or huyang you get little from the quests too. Not even being able to complete half of a GC does not lead me to believe this is the case on top of the point values I've seen for the dailies and such.

  Lowest revenues since launch. This may be a last ditch attempt. EA is publicly traded, and there's probably pressure from board and shareholders to get those numbers up. I think the app will be done soon.

  the paywall annoys me but my understanding is you don;t need those feats in order to max out the Track for the episode. So it is just a way to feed more EP to people who buy that pass.
  
  So as long as you can complete the free track with getting 2 GC feats per event, i don't see it as a huge issue

    The current free track won't get me to at least one omicron. I used to get one in the past, regardless how crappy my squad was for that particular challenge. This is a big issue

  I am not being a CG apologist in this as i think this looks horrible on the surface. Time will tell if CG was being truthful, but their annoucements of the new structure make it seem like you don't need these feats to achieve the maximum free rewards. Essentially they took 4 feats and turned them into 2 feats and you'll still be able to get enough rewards to match the 4 Red crates and 4 gold crates they promised.
  
  So it's not that they are hiding stuff behind passes or $$$, just they shifted some stuff around.
  
  But like i said, time will tell.

I have 2 under-geared and unleveled tuskens currently so, between that and the other half of the feats being pay-walled, looks like I'll be skipping this galactic challenge. If the next one is Jawas like one of my guildies mentioned, I'll be skipping that one for the same reason.
One other thing, who in the decision room thought that this change was a good idea and are they hiring? I've been self-sabotaging my entire adult life, would be nice for a change to get paid to do it.

  I'd be OK with Jawas as I worked on my team alot as it was the only way to get Speed Mods back then. So even 6ish years ago the game was designed to make you work on teams you didn't really want to. Not alot has changed just CG/EA have introduced a chuff load of ways to pay for stuff, I chose not to but still enjoy most of the game. I do spend with playstore earned credit on the 25/25 kyro bundle but that's gone from £4.99 to £6.99 so that's going to happen a lot less

Yeah it chuffing sucks I could at least level 8 them for 2 omnis , I have a 10 million gp and I'm probably earning worst rewards than when they first introduced GCs , to lock the max rewards behind the newest unfarmable shiny and a pay for pass is just wrong in so many ways . I used to enjoy working out how to get all the feats now it's pointless as I don't have a chuff load of money to spend on new character and pass but I'll just do the minimum now

There are people with 11-12M GP who can't get all feasts with Tuskens. What can we say about those less fortunate. Even purchasing all existing LSBs became useless
