[MEGA] State of the Galaxy: November 2021

I've played since the middle of the first year, 2 accounts and this is probably the end for me.

Way to destroy everything we've built.

Maybe it’s cultural (I’ve grown up with English and Scottish football) but I like jeopardy in competition- so I’m happy to see promotions and relegations based on performance. I also find the feats a bit random and occasionally infantile so like the uncoupling from ranking. I do ok in Squad - but I struggle to break into top 20 as I don’t have JMK & CAT. Overall I’m happy to see how this pans out. However it has made me reflect on why I play this game.

My conclusion is it’s because I like Star Wars, I like my guild mates and I like the daily tiny acts of mobile violence. As longs as I have them, I’m not too bothered about much else.

This feels very wait-and-see for me. I’d say I was cautiously optimistic, if not for being cautiously optimistic about Conquest 7 and 10 and that blowing up in my face.

I’ll save more for the Q&A, because I have a few questions about this. But… wow.

My feedback is that I like the change. But please don’t rub conquest and gac at the same time. During conquest my playtime is already really restricted, previously you could skip some gac fights without any real consequence. This changes now, and I think a lot of players will have problems playing both and at the same time keeping the family happy :p

Oh, guys, come on
Instead of playing 1h at fixed time doing same thing
You can play once two days 1h (any time) doing something way more exciting
Keeping more or less similar income

This guy gets it ;-)

Biggest QOL in this game from start

The end of shard mafias controlling Crystal incomes. Squad arena was not only a terrible game mode, it was an over controlled, and organised Crystal mine.

Now you won’t need 8m GP to reach a pretty decent Crystal income. This is a great change, and I for one am pumped.

A tiny % of this player base earns decent crystals in SA. As far as I know FA is staying the same. It’s such small group that makes SA incomes. Sure they will be upset, but that’s just tough. The vast majority of the game base will get more out of this than SA. It’s a positive change in my opinion. Very positive.

Given that I have sat about 300ish in arena and got my 60 crystals a day I'm pretty sure this is a boost for me assuming I sit in aurodium somewhere at the start based on GP. I do prefer GAC to SA, I tended to do my 2 required per day matches and I'd often just pick someone and hit auto (given i wasn't using a GL and most of my shard were so playing matches was pointless).
I'm sad they didn't make feats just a title award or something silly like that, I hope we can still earn those from Galactic Challenges in the future, maybe if you do the tier X with the faction of the day you get the title/ portrait?

The only people who stand to lose daily crystals are the ones who have no skill.

You completely ignored what I actually said. Nice job. Well at least now I know replying to you isn't fruitful.

Removing crystals from SA is an attack on whales. I didn’t realize I had to spell that out.

So it's not cheaper to relic up the meta team to reach top of Arena rather than relic the meta + 21 more teams to reach top of GAC ? Yep, please spell it out, I don't get it.

Just wanted to say that I really like these changes. GAC is by far the best game mode and spending 2 hours on boring arenas every day is kind of frustrating.

Very good move CG!
