[MEGA] State of the Galaxy: November 2021

Did you fix/adjust the no-def teams set where it picks from top of roster? So many people are not setting defences hindering others who do.

If you wanted to make the game mode more attractive, why didn't you just add extra crystals there instead of burning down one game mode? Last year you had 1B revenue, 50-100 crystals to player base daily wouldn't harm you, would it?

What kind of matchmaking are you talking about in a ladder system? How does that even remotely make sense?

For the people complaining about the time they now need to spend in GAC, are you aware that you won't be spending that time in squad arena waiting for the timer to tick down during the hour leading up to your payout time?

I can knock out a full clear much quicker than that, and at any time of day that I choose.

We don't. Who the hell spends their time waiting for the cooldown to finish? I do that taking a break from work every few minutes. I spend 3-4 mins on average on 5 battles a day. That's 15-20 minutes on a single game mode a day, which is reasonable for a mobile game.

GAC on the other hands, it takes you at the minimum that same time just to scout your opponent. Then you have to plan on how to lay your defenses and prepare an offensive strategy considering your opponent roster. Then you have to set 15 or more defensive teams individually. Then you have to make 15 or more battles that last 3 to 5 minutes on average each.

See where I am going?

This is a mobile game, not full-time job. We don't want to spend all that much time in just single game mode, even more now that we are also forced to engage in TW and con-quest to keep up. The game is getting more and more time consuming, which is NOT healthy for a mobile game.

Have you ever tried saving your squads? It's much quicker

This actually probably wouldn’t suck if 3v3 wasn’t a thing.

But it’s whatever CG, thanks for the memories even though they weren’t so great.

What game mode do cheaters cheat the most on? Oo gac thats right. But im sure that won’t affect me. They only cheated when crystals wasn’t involved. They wouldn’t cheat now that crystals are involved would they.

More stuff to dislike in this game. GAC to me is unplayable since you nerfed all these GL counters and matchmaking pairs me with people that have more GL's in their roster. There's no skill in these matchups as they place them on defense because its an auto gg as i/people dont have anything to counter the extra GL's. This was also an issue with the executor.

At 5.2 mil GP, i've been able to secure rank 1 rewards in both arena types by farming the new toys (JMK/CAT) and now my intake will diminish big time because of this toxic play style that has been developed by CG.

This definitely has me questioning whether or not i want to continue because it adds more grind to the game and makes the GL not being beatable by non gl hurt even more.

I’m liking the changes - assuming CG has the matchmaking figured out

MM will be based on rank now. If you are outclassed, your rank will decrease, and you'll get easier opponents.

So whens the phase 2 gear crunch ease happening? Or did you forget about that?

I swear CG never listens to the player base, I can’t think of a single instance in the last 24 months besides quality of life Improvements that didn’t negatively impact the average player, not to mention increase time demands. Lastly, they are “forcing” us into a game mode “they” feel is the best part of SWGOH. What happened to letting the player decide how to allocate their time/resources? BY moving to this system your effectively gutting the average players ability to participate as he sees fit .
There’s a saying that CG should remember, “if it ain’t broke “ .

There are so many other areas they could better the game, bug squashing, beta testing, patching etc.
It’s so disappointing when you feel the developers are no longer connected to the fan base, wish they had some actual players directing the developers ?? Le Sigh

Miles better!! Stops me sandbagging and getting paid out for nothing and it forces me to attack (atleast once!!). Good to see you don’t get win on gp. Fair play on the draw to.

The changes are too radical! From someone that loves GAC and reaches kyber every time!
- Is it true that no GP brackets are used in matchmaking anymore? Then if I advance during the first GACs in a higher division, will I face +x Mil GP opponents? How am I supposed to have any chance against them?
- I understand they wanted to eliminate the effect of the shard chats/mafias in the crystal economy and gain back control, but the changes appear to favour only the highest GP accounts. What about the smaller/medium GP accounts that were doing good in SA (compared with peer-/same starting time-accounts)?
I like the spirit of the changes, but for sure there are some flaws! Best thing would be to split 50/50 the crystal income between GAC and SA or to progressively move to the current scheme.
