I have seen this type of response before from producers... Mainly in MMO's. It always seems to be the case, and an issue, when increasing level caps where they have to make a drastic change to the entire game. I remember when EQ2 did this with armor and now we have it here in Star Wars. Don't worry, it won't be the last time they make this type of change.
It's the same excuse also...We had to do this to keep the life of the game going..Ummm no.. You did this to slow down the community progress in hope people will focus on a wider range of characters and potentially pay more into the system.
This is why I would never spend $$$ on these games compare to a "Real" game. I find people who spend a car payment per month on this type of game insane! when there are WAY better games out there and more content. If you really look into it, there is really no content in this game. All you do is fight other characters and grind..that's it! Try to collect all the characters and finish battle lines. As of yet, there is no quest like lines where you may get something cool or fight a big boss character.
I would rather see an ability to develop a character with say items.. Not just pre-static stats that you have to find gears for to upgrade. Have the ability to find say a light saber with so call stats to give a player an edge who may of been playing a long time. As of now the way it is.. A max toon is the same for everyone else..There is no uniqueness in them from person to person.
With the guilds coming, this change had to be seen..
The health bars are just horrid now.. You are better off making them into a solid health bar instead of blocks or just put a number over the toons head.
For me, the game play has now come to a crawl and boring! Why is auto battle so much faster in animation compare to manual? Now with so much dodging and missing, it just drags!! It's one thing to grind when you are actually killing stuff..it is another when you are missing and dodging left and right....
Of and the STR challenge was just nuts.. All my guys dead in one blast on the 3rd stage!! WTF?!?!
I am also not max out like many here, I have about 5 toons that just hit Gear Lvl. 7. Those at lower levels.. year, have fun working your way up..because it is going to take you longer now..
Oh and the Guild pre challenge.. I can't even do it... Why..Ohhh I don't have 3 toons at level 3... I lose!!
