Finished the challenges, finished GW, finished second in Arena (a drop from first, my position last 2 weeks running, due to lockout in final fight) .

The new changes are fine, you just have to rethink the way you do things. This update is beneficial for the long term health of the game.

and another player who has been around along time or spent alot of money to already have all the toons to fit the new meta.

I agree with you, this is not a problem for someone who has 20 7* toons.

I'm quite happy with the update and I think it allows for new strategies... :smile:

I can understand why people think the timer in Arena should be adjusted, but I disagree - if it is extended players will add more tanks to their line up (IMO), with the 5:00 min timer I am forced to think about my line up and what I want to achieve in the time frame I have....yes, on defence I would probably leave a tank line up :wink: , but with their lower damage I would rather change it up when I am trying to gain levels.

If I have to provide some criticism it would also be on the difficulty of the challenges, but....perhaps that will improve as I level up to 80 (currently on 73). Who knows.

Long story short I still enjoy the game and I like the update :smile:

I feel like the whole game has been ruined for the sake of "fixing" the Arena battles, which are really only a very small part of the game. If Arena was an issue then how about Arena only fixes. Shield being Arena only, nerfed damage rates in Arena only, character classes having advantages over others (ie Scoundrels strong against Jedi but weak against Sith??), max 2 characters attacking in a row before opponent gets a hit to prevent high speed teams from dominating etc. I'm sure there are plenty of creative ways to make Arena more interesting. But nerfing everything is not the answer.

I don't have enough time to devote to 10 minute challenges, Sundays were a long enough day as it was. 24 challenges at near even 5 minutes each is still 2 hours and that's before I do anything else. If I wanted to devote that much time I'd be playing something on a console.

Will leave my comment here as well.

I have spent allot of money on this game enough to buy at least 2 AAA PS4 titles, I can promise you that you wont be seeing anouther cent from me until this faulty update is rolled back.

I have played everyday since mid december 2015

Since you latest update that ruined this game, your game I feel robbed since Money I spent on the game seems to have been spent for nothing to me.

I used to play on my commute to and from work everyday that was enough time to finish the daily challenges for me, its not anymore (And I dont have more time to spend on this game)

Most importantly for you to know since your goal is for us to keep playing this: I have now bought a classic game I loved Final Fantasy IX for Android which will be my Commute game for the coming Month, I wont be playing Star Wars until the Update that broke the game for me is rolled back.

I will be following your update forum when I see that you have coime to your senses for now I have uninstalled the game and made a backup with TitaniumBackup.

My thoughts.

1. The update was not horrible, that said challenges in particular are what is driving the rage.
2. Protection & Damage Tuning
The Good: No more one shots. In Time, we will see many viable strategies in the arena.
The Bad: Time... 5 Arena battles and 2 Draws. Either more time is needed or damage was tuned down a bit too much.
The unknown: Which Character got nerfed/buffed? I'm willing to take a wait in see approach. It is very hard to tell at this point.
3. Ewoks/Omega: Yay
4. Challenge Difficulty: When players rely on the same monotonous challenges for daily progression, they are already a grind. Adding time and significant difficulty to them is not really welcome.
5. DS/LS/GW - Haven't played yet, but am worried about difficulty AND TIME investment given the low damage rate of toons.
6. New Health meters stink.

Bottom Line: When people ask for MORE CONTENT, they really mean they want more versions of PvP that will essentially give them the ability to have unlimited play (without crystals). What they don't want is time/grind added to essential progression based activities.

No one forced you to pay anything and what you payed was for credits, crystals or shards and NOT to prevent the game to be balanced for everyone.

how do you plan on advancing past a team consisting of
RG
Old Ben
ST Han
Chewy
Fives

when the most powerful hitters in the game can only muster 3-5K

The only way to come close to salvaging this horrible horrible debacle is to undo the update and then implement a new rule that forces a team to be constructed as

1-tank
1-heal
1-attack
2-support

Hey ea, i realise with the changes today that tier 4 challenges in healer and support is tougher which i get, but how about putting more update to the gears. There should be a 4 gears challenge since it is tier 4. At the moment we are only battling for 3. l like how we can get Mk6 Chiewab Hyposyringe salvage in healer and support challenge. But mk 5 neurosaav eb salvage gear is outdated and needs to be replaced since it is in tiers2 and 3. Replace with mk 3 czerka stun cuffs perhaps. If you include such a gear i think a 3 gears challenge in tier 4 is acceptable. Please consider other challenges with this feedback in mind. Thanks.

So can I get my money back since nobody forced me? its about 150€ I have spent on charachters that are now basically useless?

Will you personally pay me back? Or am I in title to an oppinion on a product that I spent money on and said product has made me angry?

If you are not willing to pay me my money back please keep your oppinions about my comment to yourself it was directed at the devs of this game not you!
