[MEGATHREAD] Road Ahead: June 2022 - Datacrons
See this post for details!
Forum Discussion
awfully short road ahead. Is CG only planning for SWGOH to be functioning only a couple months into the future with each of these now? Road Ahead used to look toward the future but now it seems like CG is only planning a month or two into the future max.
Now, as for Datacrons.....why? I mean I can't count the issues here nor hope to cover all of them but I'll try to get the standouts:
1- You want to "break up the meta" so the first set of datacrons BOOSTS the current meta......um....what?
2- Limited rerolls. After 5 years playing and experiencing your in-game RNG with mods, consider me wholly skeptical about how good the RNG will be with rolling datacrons.
3- Temporary nature. These things are late, late game targeted. For newer players, they could build a team up only to have its effectiveness neutered in a month. Which is rough. It's rough for late game players too. Especially what goes into my fourth issue- relic requirements for effectiveness.
4- Increasing relic investment requirements for keeping up with the meta with no further gear crunch relief. In the first part of phase 1 gear adjustment, CG severely strangled us on Carbantis and never followed up or through with the 2nd part of phase 1 and have seemingly abandoned the gear relief effort altogether. If Relics are the new gear, then the old gear needs to be more ubiquitous. Especially kyros which are draining with every new character needing more and more and more of them.
5- You opted to choose 2 of the strongest factions in the game to get further boosted while boasting about breaking up the meta....have you all not seen what TWs and GACs look like lately? full of GR & CLS-Rebels :joy:
Overall this is just...oof. Awful.
