Is the player base demanding too much?

We are begging for a sandbox mode for years now. MSF is able to do it. DSA have it. It's all Disney. And what we hear from a billion-dollar-revenue company? Too expensive. Kyno i don't know you but mate.. don't treat your community like this:|

Exactly more excuses for a billion dollar game DEVELOPER that can no longer develop apparently. Where allll these other games are on it no problem lol

Don't argue with Kyno.. No point in doing so!!!

yeah Kyno I've been playing since 2016 this is the worst 1.5 years CG has provided the community. Some of us can't afford the paywall gimmicks nor have the time to farm GLs f2p and that's just one issue. promising a year full of content for 2020 then giving us marqee characters and GLs only is beyond just bad it's criminal to the devoted community. Then that horrible Q and A where they ignored every real question and flat out reject sandbox and reworks. Mace is still useless, still no raid, no new modes, KIM was trash, the vaunted GL event was a rock paper scissors game. And now you add the actual screen shots of CG allowing cheaters to do what the want man. Who cares about a youtuber. In general CG doesn't want anyone playing this. It's frustrating to be a star wars fan and a vet and put up with this. You're either complicit in their practices as a moderator here or you have no idea how literally every other gaming studio actually runs a game and treats their fans. At this point pretty sure the guy who created the culling is actually in charge of CG. Kyno stop being tone deaf.

Whats with the whole crying over we need new content, theres plenty to do. Oh wait because people figure they need to whale out on every single **** thing that comes to the game. If you want to have a fully relicd roster, able to solo sith raid, beat every teir in every event, get max stars in every TB, then thats your problem, shut your mouth. For non spenders theres a ton to work towards. If your bored go do something meaningful with your life. Im tired of seeing spenders in games thinking somehow they need to be catored to because they have nothing to spend money on. Face it, anything new that comes people will whale on it to get it done day one and be back on the forum asking for more. If you need to sit infront of this game or be on the forum 24/7 you have bigger issues than no new content. Youtubers are the biggest whiners of them all when it comes to new content. Sucks to be if you have nothing to make a video with and make money off someone elses work. Go get a job.

I’ve never spent money and I’m bored. Farming characters is not fun, it’s time consuming. Unlocking and playing characters is fun, but when you can only use them a couple times a week you think to yourself “What was the point in this?”
Whenever I unlock a new Legendary character, I get really excited. I gear them up and then there’s nowhere to use them. No GAC rn, can’t even use them in Squad Arena unless I want to drop 1000 places, GW is too easy, no TB. Not even all the factions (at least main factions) have assault battles for them. They need to add a few things, yes. But not a whole lot. Just a few more assault battles (which I am sure they can do) so I can use characters like Padmé etc. I can’t even use a full 501st team.
I’m nowhere near the end game and I’m still getting bored. I play other games and I’m in the same position, but I have more fun in those. I can play things over and over again, unlock new characters, etc.
Plus, why does everything they make have to be either a paywall or require a bunch of hoarding. CLS and JKR events require such low gear levels, all you have to get is a 7* character. It makes the game more interesting as I don’t have to spend months trying to get the gear and relics just to get a character I can hardly play.
IMO they don’t even need to do a lot. Just some things which we can play over and over again, everyday. If you want a good example, I play a game called Marvel: Contest of Champions. There’s these things called “Incursions” which you take your characters into (there are “sectors” which are based on the current power of your team) and try and complete as many “zones” as you can. The more zones you complete, the more points you get. With these points you reach milestones and you can unlock some currencies which can help you get crystals which give a random character. There’s around 6/7 crystals, each with 10 characters (I believe there’s ~180 characters in the game). You pick which one you get and hope you get the character you want. The milestones refresh every 5 days so you can get more of the currency required. It’s really fun, the thing I Iook forward to playing.
This is just one thing they do well in this game which keeps up the interest, and I definitely think they could add something like this in SWGoH.

Is not that they can't, is that they don't WANT. I just can't wrap my head around the stuff CG has been doing as of late.

-Absolutely zero communication aside from random ships thrown at us.
-The last Q&A was a bantha doodo fest of nitpicked questions while ignoring the important ones.
-"Hey, the community is kinda angry with us?" "lol drop a puzzle". I mean, what? Any serious or at least decent devs would put their pants on and come out with a serious statement about what's going on.
-The "Ocean of content" they told us about? You have better luck finding an ocean in the desert.
-And the absolute constant thread: The sandbox mode. People are not asking much, just to be able to play the game and use their toons without screwing their guilds over or their arena progress.

I'm sure i'm missing stuff right now but that's what i could think of. Bottomline, complaining at this point is useless because it's more than clear that they don't care about the forum at all and we are just wasting our breaths at this point and to the people defending a billion dollar game studio that doesn't care about their community, seriously? You doing that?.

Many years ago a person I know told me he quit World of Warcraft because it required him to change his lifestyle. Raid scheduling, dailies, etc...

Honestly, that right there is one of my biggest complaints about this "game".
And I'm not an old player, its only been 14 months.

The whole "stores" refresh at 6-12-6-9-12
Arenas at 6 & 7
Raids launch at this time.
TB/TW/GAC at that time.

Honestly, to me there is entirely TOO much to do in this game on your "typical" day, & yet, not nearly enough to do on a day when you just want to veg out & play a lot.

I see why people want a "sandbox" for 2 reason.
1. To test teams against arena quality teams.
2. To be able to sit down & do fight after fight when YOU want to do it.

Maybe YOU have time to do a bunch of gaming at Noon, and you want to do 20-30 fights in a row to pass the time.

But the game doesn't let you do that.
The game forces you (rewards you) to do your fights in your final payout hour.
It limits you do just 5 fights w/o you having to cough up crystals.
The game is actually VERY annoying to me in the way it makes you rearrange your schedule, so the point that, to me, its not a game, its a chore, and its not fun.


And their timing of events just always boggles me.
A Saturday will have nothing but an Omega battle for me to do when I have the day off.
But a Wednesday when I have work all day & then Dinner & a meeting of the Home Owners Association at 7PM will be the day they launch both an Assault Battle & a Mythic Battle that I'm trying to cram in by midnight & loosing sleep.



The entire set up of tick tick energy for the day but then your capped after 1/2 a day of earning it forcing you to sign on every few hours is a horrible set up from the start.


And the sad thing is, SO much of that tedium could be removed with just a few changes.

1. Grant 4 free "refreshes" of the stores every "day" & stop the stores from refreshing.
So you can see the same # of items but do it on your time.

2. Increase the Energy Cap. Set it build up for a few days.
The formula is Level + 59. Change it to "Level *5 + 100"
That way if we miss a day no biggy you can just play longer later.

Those are just 2 above that could be fixed easily, IMHO, to allow for less logging in or more logging in when you WANT to log in.



For me anyway it feels like I'd have more fun w/ Tetris on my phone for quick distractions & a REAL game like Starcraft-2 on my PC for when I want to play for a couple hours.

My statement was directed at the "it's just a reskin". All I 2as saying is that some (please look at what you quoted) new content will.... ext.

So, maybe you can find it in your heart not to treat me like that.

The community needs COMMUNICATION right now, not another character that is a deaf and blind response to their customers.

We are just that, customers. They have ZERO regard for what is needed.
