[MEGA] State of the Galaxy: November 2021

I am 4M GP and taking #1 in Squad Arena every day. I'd really love it if someone could explain to me why my crystal income is going to be 177 lower every day, best case scenario. That's 64.6K crystals a year, minimum, possibly more than twice that.

@CG_LucifersDaddyMINI you have to actually work now, or business as usual except cheaters just get all the crystals they want?

CG = players cooperating in revolving payouts in arena chats are costing us revenue and bonuses… this must not be allowed

Remove 3v3 as having to do anypart of Grand Arena and then you'll have me. Anything else, and this is a horrid waste of time. Most of my Squad Arena shard is quitting after reading this.

And honestly, you aren't telling us what is moving you up and down here? Explain what moves you up and down divisions. You say it happens between rounds based on performance, but what is the metric on that?

I'll say it one more time, for the developers that are not listening. Get rid of 3v3. Literally no one will complain. No one. And you will make many people actually *happy*.

Ga takes a lot more time than squad arena. Im at a point where simply collecting characters is more fun than playing most areas of the game. I have some friends i really enjoy talking about the game with, but this might just be it for me. I dont play my ga, and this probably wont make me. It will just punish me heavily for ignoring it now. Ill wait and see, but my guess is this is the end for me. I just unlocked jml and i might be quitting before i get him to g13. Ive wasted the last almost year farming characters i dont even want or care about, just to likely quit before i can use them.

They don’t do anything about cheaters, my son has a 1 year old account and everyone in his shard has complained about an obvious cheater and he’s still there, a year later. You’re just gonna get more of that.

Well, new warning system, but it’s a legitimate question. Cheaters have been unpunished since the beginning of the game. Has CG put any thought in how to deal with this? Because if not the Grogu’s and Angelica’s will just take as many crystals as they want.

So with no meta what is there to chase? Now I can collect at mu own pace and just play the game for free. How does this help CG?

Some areas of concern:
1) Mod locks. Currently, mods lock once you join Gac. However, there have been a large number of times when people joined by accident with TB or event mod setups. While it used to only affect your gac income and not crystal, that's now changing. Are we going to be allowed to leave/rejoin gac, similar to TW.
2) Game crashes. Those are still incredibly common. While they don't impact you income from arena all that much, they could have a drastic impact on the GAC. For instance, a single crash causes a loss that prevents promotion to Kyber. The loss of crystals is now compounded.
3) Cheaters/hackers. There are quit a number of them, some obviously brazen, and any recourse takes way too long, if it ever even happens. What are your plans in this area.
4) Partial defensive zones. Without the penalty for not setting defensive teams, it may now be possible to win by just partially setting defense. How will new scoring be done against such defense.

I for one am 100% on board with all of this. End of shard chat mafias, end of having to climb at a certain time every single day and having to worry about hitting people in your shard. Hopefully arena becomes more of a sandbox now.

I do see how this could negatively impact people with those lean cookie cutter rosters BUT CG has made it pretty clear in the past they want to get away from that anyways so really shouldnt be a surprise to anyone.

Lets stop complaining about a game at the end of the day and see how these changes effect you once they are live before you make a decision to quit or not.
