So how does one actually get a datacron?

Who cares? One of hundreds of questions they did not answer before this rollout. They don't care to answer, so why should you care about them?

Why ask questions when you aren't going to read what they say?

Why read what they say if they don’t always follow through on it?

Then back to what Ultra said: if you aren't going to accept what they say then why are you asking anything?

Because I care about the game and my progress. It’s not a matter of accepting it; it’s not believing that they care about following through on it or taking feedback for it. Stop trying to reroute the anger. People are justifiably mad about this road ahead.

Again, if you don't believe what they say or you believe what they say but that they won't follow through, then what's the point in asking? Not like they're going to scrap datacrons because a couple dozen people on here are mad about it.

And "justifiably" mad? Not sure about all that.

You really think those who dislike Datacrons are just a couple of dozen? There are many places you can visit to see, that they are a lot more.

Fix the gear economy, fix the Carbonite Circuit Board economy, fix mods management, add event participation data for guild leaders. Communicate better with your community.

If someone has invested years and money into this game only to have it alter course dramatically in a way you see as horrible, I think that justifies some anger. It's not productive nor will it cause any change. But it's certainly a justified emotional response.

I'm sure there are lots that dislike it. Is everyone that dislikes the idea of datacrons mad about them? Highly unlikely.

And if it makes you angry you probably should stop playing, or learn to not get so upset over a game and just enjoy your time here. Because, news flash: this game dramatically alters course at least every couple of years.

Since you didn't address whether the emotional response is justified, I'll assume you changed your mind and now agree that it's a perfectly justified response for one to have.

Your advice to quit may be appropriate for some; that's for them to decide. For me, I make snide comments on the forums for a week or 2 until the edge has worn off and I settle back in. Hardly seems appropriate to ditch something I altogether enjoy just because the clowns in charge ruffle my feathers every few months.

hey are gathered in already existing content and they are again gated behind GP, which makes them for at least half the playerbase not usable or just half usable

There was someone above talking about how Datacrons are not available in Easy mode Conquest, and I thought... how many players stuck on Easy mode are fielding squads of all r3+ toons?

And don't you have to spend at least some time learning how counters work without Datacrons before you layer on the additional complexity?

In this case "gated behind GP" is a favor to the players who can't even qualify for normal mode. Everyone else can access the Datacrons just fine.

There are plenty of people who create alt accounts and go straight for the likes of SLKR, so yes, there will be some people who have relic squads by that point. There's no reason they can't allow people to collect them even if they can't use them yet.

As far as I’m concerned, there may as well not have been a June Road Ahead. It’s added 0 value to what the future of this game holds.

Well, this is the most braindamaged, low effort thing I've seen in this game :smiley:
8m gp kyber 1, 6 legends + starkiller and I don't think I will even bother.
Every GAC will be a random kakashow, with counters not working... Why? To squeeze more cash with the lowest effort possible, while working on ways to squeeze lotr fans.

Edit: this can be deleted plz mods
