How conquest could feel like less of a hassle

Just an idea I had while sitting around, what if conquest, instead of using teams you have yourself, had preset teams for battles so you wouldn’t have to rely on if you had some crazy relics? Hear me out, it would all be a test of strategy with all sorts of teams in the game (helping you get familiar with teams you don’t have or teams you are working towards also), and the incentive of a new character would still be there of course, with tiers of difficulty, but it’s all about strategy. Would make it a lot more fun and also accessible for those who don’t have tons of random relics who want to go for the character. Now, you’re probably thinking, what does CG get out of all of this? With it being easier to access, many more people who would normally not buy the pass would want to because they’d actually feel like they could get some use from it, whereas it’s mostly the top tier players who bother to buy it. Now this is one more thing: conquest omnicrons. Id say every conquest omnicron should be changed into a grand arena one, would definitely make a lot of interesting changes to teams and all sorts of unexpected lineups would be used, not just seeing a galactic legend for every spot. In all, this would help a lot with the problems for new players trying to get into the game where everyone is already leagues above them, and players who don’t have random relics for feats all over the place would be able to get at least near conquest characters, since it’s hard to catch-up. Could also be great for showcasing new or unused team synergies and strats so you aren’t running in blind. Though there is a drawback, the characters relic’d for feats may feel unneeded, but there could be a way to make it up to them. Opinions? (Also thanks coming to my TED talk, we don’t have gift bags though sorry)

  • I don’t like this idea. For a start, POW’s Omi would be busted in GAC, and is partly dependent on his stamina levels so it wouldn’t transfer well.

    Also, if we’re given preset teams you wouldn’t need to grind for rewards. Conquest’s whole deal is “improve your units, get better rewards”, as with every other aspect. Do not replace conquest with this.

    Having said that, I like the idea of trying out teams you don’t have - I remember when I started out, there were events of how to use a KRU lead first order and Palp lead Empire as a “training event?” I would like it if other events of that kind, which is practically identical to your suggestion minus the whole “replace conquest” part, would be implemented.

    I agree, I don’t think that overhauling conquest like that is a great idea. But I think at least a game mode where you can test out teams and Omicrons (that isn’t squad arena) against other teams of your choice would be really nice for the game. You can tweak mods, test counters and actually see Omicrons in action before GAC or whatever game mode comes around. 

    And yeah even testing teams you don’t have up and running yet would be nice so players could get a better idea on what they are spending resources on. 

  • The idea is interesting.  I like the first day of Conquest, where I use all my teams.  It's a lot of hard-work and a late night, but I enjoy using a variety of teams on that first day.   I guess players without many teams would get a first day like that.

    However, how is it less of a grind?  The grind comes with repeating the feat requirements.  Also, this is very newer player orientated.   Where's the fun for the guy that has everything?  When you get a new potent character or a new team, using it in Conquest is a new and exciting thing, right?  You remove that.

    I do feel that Conquest is very elite focused though.  How hard Conquest and Conquest units aren't available for lower GP accounts.  But then.....maybe if early accounts got Conquest units, it would mess with PvP too much.  However......if larger accounts are in Carbonite.....maybe smaller GP accounts being able to get Conquest units is a good thing.

    Your idea wouldn't work, I don't think.  I certainly wouldn't want to change to that.  However, I do feel that Conquest should be a better experience for newer accounts.
