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.

Galaxy of chores indeed! Can't go through the rest of the thread. This is perfect.

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.

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.

I dont work weekends ;) and I would prefer a blue peter badge, I hear they dont hand them out anymore.

I dont need nothing from the challenges which I dont already have or can obtain elsewhere.

I am all for harder challenges with better and different rewards. But I am not for the same challenge which I flew through the day before with the same rewards to find the next day I have to spend 20 mins doing.

If your happy to spend extra time with your head in your phone for the same stuff as the day before, thats up to you. But I would prefer autoing stuff I dont need while chilling in the sun and going outside.

Time is the biggest deciding factor for me and I'm sure I'm not alone. Spent $$ on game to hopefully keep daily play time down.... If I can't complete dailies I see no need to even start them.

If at least GW isn't changed to no protection or resetting protection after each battle it will ruin my desire to play. While I do enjoy a challenge I got so into this game because I could manage to fit it into a jam packed schedule (even sacrificing some sleep most nights)

Dailies isn't impacted too much, you just have to complete 1 GW battle. Squad Arena battles will take a little longer for the 3 matches. Though battling through GW to completion will take longer depending on your bench and team line-up. The tier IV challenges have now been fixed. Still difficult but very do-able. The hard mode missions sadly, have not been fixed. The enemies will just wear your team down. So if you haven't 3 starred the stage 7 & 8 missions, its going to be very challenging now.

And regarding the diversity in arena...it will end up exactly same...few characters worth to work on...just different characters...not sure if making Yoda obsolete is great move

You're obviously not top 10 on an older server... Yoda lvl 74-75 gear 9 is everywhere in the top 10 and Yoda is not nerfed but is stronger than ever and able to use all of his abilities in every battle. Why do you think Yoda is obsolete? EA made a HUGE mistake releasing the change notes instead of letting the game just play out and letting people figure each character out on their own through trial and error and creating synergistic match-ups instead of just looking at damage stats, which are somewhat irrelevant after the update.

+1 on the better and more relevant rewards.
It was just disappointing to find that once again the Tank Challenge consisted of sitting back and watching Poe, Old Ben and someone in a red mask beating down a stunned black man who never even took out a weapon. It was more like watching a Rodney King beating on the news than actually playing a game.

I woke up to a bribe, not so well played EA...You might as well have just rick rolled me...

Dont fix it if it aint broken!

To be fair it was pretty broken before. I was getting really bored from facing the same teams over and over again.

The Challenges and GW are probably too hard for F2P players. And the battles are absurdly long. But the balancing... is fine. I feel like I can finally bring out my favorite characters now and they won't be OHKO'ed by your standard arena team. That's a good thing.

Still, they really should've tested this. It felt like they tried to introduce too much in way too little time. Not nice. Slap on the wrist.

Wow mega-LOL. Man you really had me have a good laugh. Thanks that was hilarious! :D

I'm not a maxed out player and have experienced a lot of frustration with some of the new balances. However, I do appreciate that the developers actually read the message boards and implement the feedback as best possible. Thank you devs for actually being active and participating in the feedback!

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.

I've beat GW both times I've played.... hard to complain against the boogie man under your bed if you didn't check under the bed. It is a bit more time consuming now but still winnable and last nite was actually easier than the nite before.
