Hey Everyone,@CG_JohnSalera wrote up a message about today's update, you can find it here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/28040/4-14-update-thank-you-for-your-feedback#latestKeep all talks about the post in this thread.Thanks!

Not a game anymore Galaxy of Chores!!0 Fun, not enough time in the arena to do battles with new Meta.Challeneges and GW is so much harder.Cannot upgrade my gear, game is pointless now.

Thank you so much for this update. Will help longevity of the game. I'm glad we can finally build our roster outside of what we have. Very excited for the future of this game

I'm fairly certain that it's understood that a major update was needed for the reason he named, BUT is it necessary to nerf the tanks (specifically chewie) to 1/4 of their health while the boss tanks stay firmly at an insane health rating? Did anyone try to beat Dark Side Normal 7-H? Fives is insane.There is also an issue with the challenge involving GMT and Veers. Yes it's ridiculous now, but there seems to be an issue with the health meter up top because it stays green even when GMT and Veers are near death.Please fix the tanks, they're called tanks for a reason..

Mixed feelings here , we haven`t try everything new yet so it is too early to judje ... Hard is good! Hard is interesting.One thing i am sure about i don`t like and understand is Yoda nerf so badly. This was the most challenging, most interesting character of all to get and promote to 7 stars. It required months of planing and tons of crystals, credits and strategy to equip and promote 5 Jedi to 7 stars and win the last battle.All this efforts until now had a worthy reward and so it should be - nice OP character with great damage and great speed. You wasted 5 Jedi to get 1 who makes a difference in your battles. Why would you turn this into an average low damage character? Cheers

This update has been painfull for me so far. But let us give it a try for a few days, who knows we might actually see alot of variety in the game. The only thing that gets to me is the challenge, its too hard IMO. Im not saying its impossible, its just that its too hard that i actually have to try it over and over again so that maybe luck is on my side in one of those tries. On the other hand, i can see that arena would be more enjoyable since people would rely less on a RNG since you have more turns to figure a way to win the battle.

They jusy wanna reduce progress and slow game play to make you play longer and grind for longer. It makes for a less fun game, should be more rewarding but its a freemium phone game so its ridiculous to expect people to spend hours playing.

Awesome message - I agree we need to give time this update and look how battles develop in the future.

The genius who put this shield bs, not thinking to make it regen with every battle in GW needs to be shown the door. In GW you already face the next battle with some health missing, specials used (and now no shields). Whereas the other team has Full shield, full health and all specials at the ready. This just stacks the odds completly against you and is un unfair method.
GW is crucial to me as this is the main source for my credits to upgrade toons.
Update needs to be fixed fast. Because if i cant upgrade toons due to this absurd grind then bye bye.

agreed...

I never complain before, all the nerfs and grindings. I see those things as part of app games. But after this "Balancing", I really feel upset cause it takes far more time than I am willing to spend on playing.

Where's the fun with 2-hrs-long GW marathon? And half of my 7* rosters are basically useless now?

Well, as you said, some of players enjoy this update. I should leave all the pleasures to them, cause it seems mine is not existed anymore.

I know myself it was already grinding just trying to collect the ridiculous amount of gear and finally getting players to complete tier 4 and 5 of the challenges so I could actually get the amounts of gears that I needed and since the update can't get pass the finally battle because the boss is so ridiculously powerful wipes out my whole teams a few seconds in the battle. If you can't grind for the gear or the battles what's the point in playing because training players gets to be such and insanely amount of credits let along never having enough training driods. I hope something changes to make it a little more manageable because everything else was time consuming enough without making other thing impossible otherwise my time on this game will be coming to a close and it's a shame because this was a fun game but typical of EA games.

Trading another horrible meta for the old one while stretching the game timewise into oblivion is IMHO not the smartest move.
I get the intention, but the execution is a mess.

Logic is simple.
Most of top players have spend a lot of real money on their teams.
Now they feel ripped and will leave the game and stop paying.
Good luck with inevitable income crash.

I see a lot of free whining. GW has become harder ? WELL, it's the point ! It's MEANT to be hard, you know, so you have to think what will be your strategy against this specific squad before attacking. Use different toons from your collection ! Build more synergies or specific counters !

So it was a little harder, but I finished it fairly easily. And I'm not a whale, before anyone goes that way. Simply had to use more toons than before, which is great !

And the challenges are a little harder too, but it's the same for me : I finished them easily. On auto, but by targeting the right target. Guys, step yout game up a little ! EA did a great job with this update.

And I say that, even knowing that lacking a good taunter I will drop dramatically in arena.

Dude buzz of ok? You think everybody is a whale or wth? I can't even complete the AGI gear challenge now. I can only imagine what STR and tank challenge will be. What does protection accomplish exactly against a character that leaves with you with 1hp? Where is the logic there?

I have a feeling that its the Lower level players that didn´t spend Month after Month grinding and upgrading their characters that are happy with this "improvement"

I spent both Money and lots of time to get my characters to where they are and now I am basically back to 0 and can hardly complete simple challenges even though im maxed out.

And winning a fight in the Arena seems basically impossible with my favourite team now......
