Datacrons I guess are cool. But here’s a fun idea. What if there was a panel of players (top players, content creators, basic polls for the community as a whole, live open Q&A on twitch or YouTube) where you listen to everyday players who spend time playing this game outside of your testing team and staff to discuss better ways to improve this game. I feel like I have heard so many things from the community on what they would like to also see added or fixed to this game. Maybe with your good ideas and some other good ideas from the community, we might actually make an amazing game that feels like it cares for the community. Because right now, it doesn’t feel like it, and I wish CG cared as much as this community.

There is at least a suggestion channel at the semi-official discord, but I'm not sure if they even read it, let alone seriously consider anything there.

Can you link this Discord?

You're not going to believe this, but the people on the forums are being overwhelming negative about something

Maybe because CG constantly do negative things? Maybe because they are so insanely lucky they have the Star Wars IP attached and if this game didn’t have Star Wars attached it would have failed 5 years ago?

Every addition CG creates is purely to either continuously move progression goalposts or rinse money from people. It says a lot that most of the time on this app isn’t even playing the game, but doing mundane farming/progression crap. And they don’t change cause people like you defend their ****

Here's the thing, no matter what that company does, all of you guys are going to be nasty and hateful about it

If I hated this game as much as the people on the forums do I'd uninstall in a heartbeat

Really, so what is the positive about this?

Shaking up the meta every month to make every GAC unique and avoid boredom.

Boosting jmk, padme, bb, rey, secondary resistance, qgj, shaak clones and inquisitors isn’t really going to change tw/gac in a fun way imo. I think it’ll just limit counters and force players to play even more carbon copy matches/tws. Certainly there are broken datacron combinations besides the ones already pointed out.

So it’ll come down to who has more datacrons and the forums will be filled with complaints about the broken combinations. Some will be so bad that cg is forced to change them mid cycle and then the real fun will start.

First half, yes. Second half, lulz. It's to keep spenders spending.

Its crazy to think that there are many people who have been playing this game daily for nearly a decade. The sad part is the game has become overly complex with the kits, more monotonous, and overall LESS fun. How we are still unable to play any game mode with guildmates or friends is beyond me. (Raids is a minor exception, however I am taking away from their rewards the better I do (???).

The theorycrafting we all love so much, and what they are anchoring their latest feature on, has never been met with an opportunity to actually test out our theory. Unfortunately datacrons is no different and only makes the issue worse. Eventually we will all revert back to the means, which is apply something that is op to our gls, and they will continue to be the bottle neck in this game.

In the end, nothing has fundamentally changed. We only received another ecosystem (that no one asked for), that brings no further enjoyment to the game and only applies to pvp content (I wonder why that is....pit our money against each other which induces spending at ittle to no cost to them...pretty smart...eh).

Overall, the lack of ingenuity and innovation to find some other way to monetize, reduction in the grindiness, increase in bugs (which will only get worse over time), has killed this game.

I am not angry anymore, I used to be when I cared. But I find myself indifferent, which is quite possibly the worst outcome for CG. And I have a feeling I am not alone.

Only if your indifference means you used to spend money and now don’t. CG is more indifferent but profitable because it’s Star Wars. Bit like, Disney…destroying the franchise movie after movie, series after series but the original stuff was so strong it carries it.

So true...am a f2p. So anything I do or say doesn't matter. I forgot about rule number 1.

Any body else noticed the pre programed stall on shard farming to 6*. Or my favorite reduced shard rewards when they are offering p2p shard pack for the character your farming.

I'll spend $ every now and then. I just do not spend when I'm scammed into it.

I couldn't care less about datacrons, like omicrons I'm not going to be at the point in the game where they matter for quite some time. I care less now that they seemingly run on a separate currency - which I am particularly happy about. Ironically the leak seems to have been beneficial as it previously used other resources. Although I'm sure CG would claim this was always going to be the case - we will never know!

The fact that it's a seperate currency means that we should be getting excited about this new feature. Unfortunately CG has sold itself short by prioritising this money maker over the promised changes. Crumb recognised the detacrom controversy in the Hynsey stream. If they delivered on the gear changes or at least have the courtesy to update us on them, then we would be viewing this is a very different light.
