Imo Galactic Conquest is one of the best additions this game had ever had. However, I believe we are starting to see some missed opportunities in relation to this new feature. I'm not going to complain about DCS disks being removed or the cost of removing disks because I think those have been a fairly regular gripe. I think the biggest missed opportunity in conquest revolves around the enemy squad compositons. Conquest would be an awesome way to let the players face the Acklay with other units instead of the required ones in TB. It could shine a spotlight on the Nexu, which most players don't even see, and provide a new experience without any real additional content. There are enough units in this game to make the bosses feel like a more cohesive journey, and the modifiers can bump up the ones that may be lackluster under normal circumstances. For example, we have four Lukes in this game, 3 of them are capable of fielding exceptional teams, why not place them chronologically as bosses to theme a GC? Start incorporating the big bads from TB and give each Conquest a theme and you'll be back on the right track to keeping this content fresh and engaging. I know there are other great ideas out there, what could improve conquest for you?

I still can’t believe that they didn’t include ships in conquest. It’s almost like they are actively looking ignoring ships on purpose. I would like an end button when you are finished with your run. After you hit end, all the disks and modifiers go away, energy goes away and it’s a sandbox. This would be even better if the Nexu, reek, AT-ST or any other boss were added.

The biggest improvement I think CG could change are some of the feats. There are several (looking at you Marked feat) that are incredibly repetitive. It can be real tedious over time.

There have already been numerous suggestions on how to improve Conquest and make it more enjoyable to play and experiment with:- Change currency needed for disc swapping- Add more variation and remove "duplicate" teams and discs from slices- Change feats- Change bosses- Add new team variations and new factions- Add a counter for feats, so progress is actually measured and understoodCG has instead chosen to simply make a few teams and modifiers more difficult and pretty much left everything else the same. While I agree, it is quickly becoming boring and tedious, CG has clearly no inclination to improve it - at least not quickly.

With using this to release characters, I would guess we will see changes each new toon, which could be as quick as 3 Conquest per.

I’m fine with the amount of rewards, sure more is always nice but that’s not the most important aspect for me.I’m fine with the difficulty, even though it would be good if we didn’t have to go in blind and actually be able to see the stats of both enemies with all modifiers applied and also so our own stats with current disks applied.But most of all it has to be fun to play and even if it isn’t CGs intention to make it boring and grinding it’s what they do when they feel the need to tweak details without fixing the bigger issues first. They have to ask themselves or check the feedback from the community, which changes will improve the experience without making it too easy and what changes are the lazy fixes to make it harder but it will also destroy the fun.And we need fixes to QoL things like feat counters and the duplicate selection grouping of teams and disks. This time around I was extremely unlucky with disks to select so I had to do it with almost no synergies. Absolutely nothing resembling a purple disk in sight either. Still no problem getting max rewards but it was just such a boring experience. And it was extra frustrating when I know conquest can be a very fun and creative experience.

That feat can be done in 3-4 matches using GG vs NS. I agree though, some are pretty repetitive. I personally don't like the Jedi/Sith ones.

Actually give us new feats and bosses because currently it is incredibly boring and tedious

I’d like to see a few changes personally. And I’m going to focus on some other aspects that haven’t been touched on in this thread.
It’s starting to feel a bit grindy so maybe make it shorter or if not, make the energy and stamina refresh quicker.
I’d like to see end of phase rewards so it feels like you are achieving something before the 2 week po.
And the po doesn’t seem rewarding enough…. The shards are great but there should be crystals, more r8 goodies and more gear - there should be a chance to get a fully crafted stun gun/cuff/carbanti ect because 15 pieces is weak sauce over 2 weeks.
More G12 pieces would be nice but if the purple gear is shored up in the rewards we can all concentrate on the g12 stuff in other areas of the game.

Interesting idea.

There are enough units in this game to make the bosses feel like a more cohesive journey, and the modifiers can bump up the ones that may be lackluster under normal circumstances. For example, we have four Lukes in this game, 3 of them are capable of fielding exceptional teams, why not place them chronologically as bosses to theme a GC?

Now this has me thinking of team comps to match the movies &/or factions needed.

Farmboy + Leia + Han + Chewie + 3PO

CLS + 3PAC + R2 + Rolo + Cholo

JKL + Old Ben + Hermit Yoda + Kanan + Ezra

JML + GMY + Gen.Kenobi + JK.Anakin + Rey.JT

I'm not saying they want it grindy, but there is a balance they are trying to strike with the number of needed combats and the amount of energy/stamina needed. They are unlikely to change it to make it easier to get the max crate without being on the edge of needing refreshes or purchasing consumables.

We will always want more rewards, I'm not sure they will make changes there at this time.

If you judge by time, I guess you could say not quickly, but if you judge by number of events we did see the boss change fairly quickly. With using this to release characters, I would guess we will see changes each new toon, which could be as quick as 3 Conquest per.

Bosses changed only once so far. We don't know how/if they are going to change in the next Conquest - the last two sectors were always a pair of GLs but now we are missing one. I wouldn't be surprised if the bosses didn't change until the upcoming DS GL is released.
It would be cool if they used Conquest as a character reveal but I doubt that's going to happen since we always get the requirements before the kit reveal.
