Message from the EP

I am very pleased to say that it feels like EA is listening and I too, appreciate the gifts and the impression I am left with this night that they do care about the players and the game. I'm glad I hung in there and followed all this today, it is an interesting process. I have seen so many of these apps fall prey to the current trend of grinding out the product, grabbing all the dollars they can and pumping out the next ( 60 second ) wonder.
Thank you EA for listening ( it feels like you are ) and taking your players complaints, concerns and criticisms to heart.

Have a good night.

I was a fan until the recent change, wth..... Just frustrating not even fun anymore

I love the protection update, however it does need work on it. For example like many people pointed out is no protection in GW when you lose it. In GW you should have either a protection refresh to max, or when a healer heals a party any leftover should be added to the protect, but only for GW. You heal protection in SA, then nobody gets to win.

Unfortunately they took the "challenge" out of the challenges. Why did everyone whine so much? There are lower tier challenges if you don't have the characters or skill to pass one at the highest tier. Too bad the developers had to make the game boring to appease lazy people.

This is true, but is it really an issue? I've completed GW in the last 2 days, just like before.

Yes it is a great issue.
I can complete my GW too, because i am a late novemebr player with almost 15 chars at 70+ and 7stars.. BUT the huge increase of time (almost 30-45 minutes) makes GW really annoying..
And the second point is that is not fair fighting vs lev 74 teams that have the double of your health pool..
GW needs a little rework.

Why is this not fair? If you can't pass GW one day, who cares? Why don't you want the game to be any fun or a challenge? So basically everyone has to win or they will be upset? You have 15 strong characters... Why should they make it easy for you?

Did they change something ? I just completed today's challenges with my usual Jedi team, just for a test.
I lost some chars in the process, but was able to finish - exactly like a "challenge" should be.
Yesterday same team was rolled over on top and top-1 challenge lvls.

Your post makes no sense. The issue is that before the update the challenge was doable, after the update the challenges were made much harder and took alot more time.

So for something that could be completed before an update to very hard after the update for the same rewards?

When the game has changed the pre crafting ammount and that is one of the places that yesterday you could get the gear but after a update people felt they couldnt but already have 10-15 characters and spend, it wasnt whinning it was uproar.

It was changed not because it was to please players... it was changed because it was broken and it was the right thing to do.

If EA feel they are in the wrong they will do something to correct it hence the rewards and compensation payout.

I for one am happy that EA CG take notice to their customers and take action when required as if no customer base no custom and no custom mean no revenue.

I was able to complete both challenges and GW just had a issue with the timer in the arena. EA fixed most of these issues and compensated the errors.

I just hope CG can stop waivering the nerf gun around and doing lots of nerfs as it damages the value of the game.
This isnt Star Wars Force Collection a new 5* does not come out every 2 weeks. Characters that needed a nerf like GS & Rey got none... So is there anypoint farming these when they are due a huge nerf???

With the current nerfs I have 0 reason to spend to buy characters from the store and just refresh and probably will never spend big in the store again.

I brought the Jedi pack for £50 to get a 4* Ani and some QGJ shards. They got nerfed and will never spend £50 on characters again and would rather spend my money on some Xbox One games

I was given a stack of free gear today, which I'm guessing is because everyone is complaining. I don't want free gear - I want my game back. I tell you what, give us the option. Release at the same time SWGOH 2.0 with that stupid protection bar and the game I loved playing up to 36 hours ago and see how many people "upgrade".

Also, just to let the powers at be know, I usually burn through a 1000+ crystals a day obsessively pushing every section of the game I can until it just gets stupid expensive. Although once or twice I have been guilty of using 800 crystals just so I could upgrade a character when I was close on the gear.

Well since the changes I have not spent 1 crystal. That means I won't need to spend any more money on this game for a very long time; if ever. Not until it is put back to how it was.

I used to find this game impossible to put down but I actually found myself nodding off in the tank challenge today. So well done there. You have made this highly additive game that normally takes sleep away from me - into a sedative.

One last note. Nothing about these changes are cool. The swing and miss is stupid. Having your 74 lvl toon reduced to 4 sections on a health bar is so not cool. A protection bar that does not protect players is; you guessed it; not cool. This list just goes on and on and on of new exiting ways you've managed to turn cool in to beige.

Star Wars is meant to be cool. You have stuffed up royal here and you need to put things right. Or this killer whale is gonna find another game.

"Free market" is the solution.
Check which characters are unused by players and buff them a bit, then nerf a bit characters which are always in top teams.
It has more sense, then "lets just totally change alle the stats and see what comes".

You're right buddy. Maybe there shouldn't be any challenges at all and you can just open the game and hit one big auto-play button in the morning and get all of your rewards. Can you not see that the primary flaw in the game is that it is too easy as it is and eventually every person that plays will be exactly the same? Do you really enjoy winning the challenges on auto-play?

That was fun for the short period of time when the tank challenge made you actually work for it.

Well, hopefully you get a gold star for going to work today. EA should definitely give you a participation medal too... Those are super special.
