To be honest, their statement “In Phase 1 we still have changes to hard node Gear drop rates” could mean they’ve reduced the drop rates. It would fall in line with their old statement of adding Kyros to help with the gear bottleneck. CG-lingo isn’t always what we assume it means.

Well in the September State of the Galaxy they specifically said the change would be to "approximately double drop rate of Gear on PvE Hard nodes with Character Shards", so as much as I agree with you about CG-lingo that's not the case here

Remember when they said they were introducing kyros to alleviate the gear crunch. ?

Perhaps but but some already stated they called out double drop, and if they did just increase drop chance then I have the worst rng for last 4 months.

If in fact they have changed anything after October then their problem is communication.

After the road ahead when they implemented the daily challenge gear they announced that the change happened. Great I know that they did something, but zero announcements for any other P1 changes why would I think they implemented them. I’d think as much slack CG is getting about their lack of care for players, announcing these would be a huge welcome and gain some player base praise, but honsetly so much time as past, people aren’t even going to be grateful anymore, you’ll just see a ton of “it’s about time CG” comments.

for now sticking with empty promises not filled :) please prove me wrong CG!

@CG_SBCrumb_MINI hello there! Care to comment? Oh wait, I know the answer. You don't.

I agree, they should do that. But it'a Capital Games. After this many year do you honestly still believe that they are true to their word or give a crap about the community/their customers? We all should know better by now.

Well I’m some what of a newbie I guess, I’ll hit 1 year in a month. I still had faith!
But I’d think I’m a group they would want to cater too. I do spend a bit in the game if I feel value is equal to benefit, about to pass 4mil gp, I have my executor, GL hopefully in 2-3 weeks.

But The only things worth anything are the smaller $10 packs that contain energy. After joining and having the value of the journey guide gear packs for 29.99 to help my journeys and core characters suddenly vanish I’ve refused to buy gear. Even worse seeing the cost never depreciate newer items just push prices higher. Anything over $20 is a joke honestly in a mobile game.

While these new 500 crystal relic packs show up which you can buy 10 TIMES each with a chance to get 300% value
The core gear 690 crystal packs for Core gear only grants 1 TIME with only 200% value chance, better luck next month.

Don’t even get me started on gac/arena change for newer players if I had started 6 months later I would have already quit.

But having them dangle a carrot going on six months, almost insulting at this point, my 1 year review has gone from “fun game, little pricy to excel faster” to just “flabbergasted, not in a good way”

yes someone point out I missed out they added the gear to store slots and in squad store. whoopee I already had shard shop option.

CG make me want to stay around for my 1 year aniversary.

you are ignoring the core gear added to daily challenges and daily prize box for some reason

No that is the 1 thing I said they did, they added the core gear to daily challenges (this was great, wish it had increased carbanti count and included things like mk8 Binocs mk4 bacta, mk6 medpac, but hey maybe that’s p2)
And yes they added 5 pieces of a random gear piece to the daily completion box. It was so small i forgot ;)

we’re not requesting something out of the blue, they announced a roadmap and half a follow through.

No he actually said they did that. His gripe, and rightfully so, is that aside from implementing the daily challenges and prize box, there still is no update to the drop rates on hard nodes, still no dedicated slot to the stores and still no update as to why we need an RA to implement changes announced months ago.

For P2 if they wanted to use the RA to mention those changes then ok. However there’s zero reason they haven’t completely rolled out P1 of the gear economy changes.

We all know the reason......

They're just too busy making a new Inquisitorius team for whales to buy. Notice how the new toons are more reliant on kyros than before? They just moved the gear grind to another location.
