For our friends at CG

Hello there,

I’m hoping someone at CG sees this and starts a conversation about having the Light Speed Bundles more permanent in the store and the overall benefits of implementing this idea. I want to start by saying that the Galactic Legends bundles can still be rotating so that there is still reason to build up your roster before jumping right into the GLs. By the way, these bundles are incredible and so helpful! It’s nice to save so much time and energy for those characters, and it’s been feeling like if you don’t have a GL, you’re missing out on a lot of content. From building up your roaster faster to having more fun in events, supporting your guild more, and having a more fun time in guild events. These bundles are so helpful. If there are new GLs, you could release the bundles to unlock them a year and a half after their release. That way, everyone who still wants to do everything to farm them from day one can still do that without the resentment of those bundles. Or add more Journey characters as requirements for GLs to make getting a GL more memorable, seeing the build-up and excitement for new GLs.

However, that’s a different subject… 

Going back to the LSBs, even if the GL bundles are still random, I do think that many players (both old and new) would be happy having the Hero Journey LSBs, Conquest character LSBs, and faction team LSBs in the store waiting for them like the hyperdrive bundle. Especially when they start playing or haven’t had the time to farm them due to many other things needing attention in the game, I think it would keep and bring new players if they could buy their favorite characters and play with them early instead of waiting months to unlock them. Granted, we still have to gear up the Journey characters, but it’s a much nicer feeling having them bookmarked and working on them instead of the team that you need to unlock them, and maybe you won’t even use that team after unlocking them. This would help bring in and keep new players after seeing those options, especially if they become interested in SWGOH due to whatever the next  Star Wars project that ignites their interest and passion. It doesn’t help that the game is very daunting, and many content creators help make it easier and more enjoyable, but there is still a massive gap between the start and getting to all the fun late-game content. Plus, with these bundles being open in the store, that would help the later game community, like with everything Guilds related and having more interaction in Grand Arena. And who knows what else you have cooking for us to play and enjoy! This would help get people to those events and game modes quicker and find that sense of community and reason to keep playing this fantastic game. There is no other game like it where you get to play and collect your favorite Star Wars characters, both Legends, and Canon and play some excellent content.

Those are my thoughts on this subject, and I hope there will be some discussion at Capitol Games. I would be more than happy to give further feedback if you would like. 

Thank you for your time and the extraordinary game we’ve all come to love!

  • My guess is financially speaking, the limited release LSBs with no fixed schedule creates an ideal FOMO opportunity. Lots of GI bundles are being purchased this week given the bundle might not drop again until maybe Nov with the anniversary. If this was permanent, many players would delay the purchase in preference for other bundles (like the cheaper SLKR one) and wait until they are ready to farm each squad or GL.

    I have to agree, CG/EA will make less money on all the other packs, relic mats, kryos etc is LSBs are always available.  The suspense of "when" drives up sales as well.

    Players are left wondering "to farm or not to farm"
