Personally I'm a fan of the update overall, bit there are a few things I think that need to be tweaked. I hate people that complain without offering any suggestions so here it goes:

GW: Unless you've been grinding since last year, you probably don't have a deep enough roster to complete this. I'm a top #10 player on my shard, been playing since mid-january but my b and c teams can't compete in the later nodes yet. I suggest regenerating protection no matter what after each fight, somewhere between 25%-50%.

Royal Guard: I love how you guys have tried to make arena and squad building in general more strategic...but as it stands right now there is no build that I can think of that RG doesn't make sense on. Maybe tweak his passive so it only effects certain synergies (empire or support toons or something). This will still make him influential in a fight but he's not quite so "plug and play".

Also Kylo won't counter with retribution if he has foresight.

Also when guild goes live you guys should make an option to have us spar with guild members free of energy. It will help us develop strategies and give us something to do while we wait for cooldowns to finish or energy bars to refill.

Thanks for hearing me out.

Fix galactic war, protection should come back fully after every battle, or at least heal after every battle even if it is depleted, or let it heal when a character is not in use, at least it would give some strategy on which characters to rotate i and out

I feel like the set of unbalanced characters has merely been changed, not eliminated. I fully agree that balances had to be made, but I think many characters have somewhat too low of damage now. The longer battles, too, I feel have perhaps been done a little too far. I will still play with more drawn out battles, but I prefer them a little quicker. I also don't like that I feel even more like I can't trust whether a character will be good or not. For example, I've been working towards grievous, but after seeing what happened to Yoda I don't trust he'll be a good investment anymore. Really, I suppose what I mean is that some characters that really should be good have been turned all but useless (ex: Anakin), when I feel useless characters this is exactly what the update was supposed to fix. I'm not saying these harder to get characters should be dominant, but I feel it's owed to the people who get them to make them at least competitive. I haven't tested the characters that were useless before, so I don't know to what extent they've been fixed. I don't dislike the update. I think much of it needs further tweaking, but I won't delete the game by any means. Oh, and in the case of protection, I don't like it as it stands but I think as the game evolves around it I could learn to like it. It does need to be fixed in GW, though.

@CG_JohnSalera my other point I forgot to mention in the first post I posted on this thread is, (and im sure you guys are but just a friendly reminder lol)Please evaluate droids and other super hard hitting toons with how much protection you give them because it can really break the game and become the only choice if you have say IG86 and some other hard hitting toons that have to much protection and than you throw in the big wall Royal Gaurd and you can finish off said threat and now it's basically over because those "cannons" will get multiple HUGE hits because of all the extra protection. Which is why I hope they get lower protection.

I say this because toons like kylo ren for example hits a 3rd as hard as some of these droids and big cannon minions and the high health of kylo ren have become irrelevant compared to the DPS the other toons have if kylo can barely touch their protection because you also nerfed slow high health minions. I'm NOT saying give them a huge buff but please consider a minor DPS buff.

The update was nice for Arena, but GW and Challenges become very boring and exhausting.

People complaining about challenged being too hard.
NONE OF US ARE MAX LEVEL.
CHILL OUT

You can try and put lipstick on a turd but it is still a turd. This update was poorly executed.

Still speed meta... everyone goes first before my crew. Ig-86 still one hits my maxed han. They still kill my daka first. And I was a level higher than them. I'm afraid to play gw, cause I know you screwed that up. Gw made this game some what fun. Two thumbs down.

It's a good update. BUT, can't help feel this should have been released closer to everyone being 80. A lot are too weak atm to compete top arena or even clear GW.

I feel like I have a decent rooster, 74 toons and RG g9. But even then I had to use up almost every toon over g7 to clear GW.

And in arena I've stayed #6 from 5am to now (5:18 pm). And I believe that's bc of RG.

I appreciate he took the time to write us about the game. All in all I like the update, I do think that something needs to be done about Evasion leader abilities, seems excessive in-conjunction with Protection. Good stuff.

Bring back the Rex Aurodium Pack please. :)
