I'll post my feedback here, overall I would say some positive/some negative
1) Positive: I absolutely love protection in the arena, it works so well and stops the endless one shot kills, the only character I have fought that can still one shot my protected maxed characters is Rey after a Poggle/Phasma boost
2) Positive: New events are great and I love the fact I can do all 3 tiers of the omega challenge and earn some much needed credits as well as ability mats and the ewok event is fun and helping a good cause as well as encouraging me to level up and focus on characters I had previously ignored
3) Somewhere in the middle: Challenges now take far too long, I competed the highest tear Savage challenge today all 5 times but it took 8-10 minutes a go, this is not good and definetly a step backwards. Protection in this challenge is pointless as Savage removes the whole lot with his AOE attack so perhaps consider removing it from this challenge all together. I can't comment on the others as I haven't tried them yet but I do not want to be spending several hours on Sunday grinding through gear challenges that are perfectly doable but take far too long
4) Negative: Yoda has gone from being one of the best characters in the game to one of the most useless. I spent months (and still was) building a team of 5 star Jedi to unlock him using thousands of energy, crystals, cantina energy, refreshes and all for nothing as he is now unusable in anything other than light side missions. I get that at level 80 he would have been to fast etc so just reduce his speed a bit and power slightly rather than by what seems at least 50% across the board. For a character we have all invested so much in we should be getting one of the best characters in the game and the number one priority target in any arena team I fight, now if I see him in an arena team I just laugh at him and target everyone else. I cannot fathom why he has been nerfed so badly when Phasma, Rey, Tie Pilot, Droids etc are still as lethal as ever.
5) Negative: Protection in Galactic War is horrendously unbalanced, it either needs removing entirely from this game mode or replenishing on all characters after completing each node. I don't care how many people say it was still easy today, it was not, it was literally impossible. I'm facing fully protected maxed level 74 teams from node 5/6 onwards and even with my substantial roster it will not be enough. I've gone 26-1 on Galactic War before today but only managed to get to the 11th node today. When speedy high damage characters that you face 2-3 of in every node can remove all of one of your characters protection in one shot it has to be replenished after completing the node. I tried for 2 hours earlier with endless retreats and different combos but to no avail. A challenge is good but a challenge should be fair and possible to complete, this currently is not. I'll give it another go tomorrow but I'm not holding out much hope especially as I I'll hit level 74 tomorrow so will no doubt be facing 75/76 teams.
I hope you take this feedback on board. Keep up the good work and support. Also please make the Yoda we all grinded months for viable again
