Must agree with all the mixed reviews. While challenging means engagement, sometimes it is just way off the path. From my experience and what I read here, everybody's strategy was sent to the toilet with the upgrade. Now we have to account for a useless protection thing and unbalanced GW which makes our investments in shards, time and money pretty much pointless. I guess that if we were given an insane amount of cristals to make up for all the characters we farmed that add little to our squads, or that we need to invest from now on, we would not complain. But then again, cristals are money for EA. Thanks mercenaries. Now let's see how much more a guy that spent a good hundreds is willing to spend again without any guarantee that the next update will not take him back to square one. Fun and engagement is not only a function of the challenge, but of the accomplishments... And there are fewer of those ahead now that we were forced to see that what we have done takes us back, almost as if we have not done anything at all to remain competitive in the game.
