My post keeps changing.

I think this update has done exactly what they set out to do.... I am no longer able to use a droid team and one-shot people into oblivion or an all jedi team with QGJ leader in the same manner. This has forced me to think outside the box on how I approach certain teams. I have since been able to find new uses for heroes i have neglected because they can now survive a bit more. I would congratulate the developers on the improvements of the game and encourage them to keep up the good work.

As for the players struggling to succeed, this is a grand opportunity for you to come up with new ways to win and a new "meta" (I use the term lightly). If you are going to delete the game because the old speed meta was nerfed, then you fail to see that the point of an update is to make the game balanced.

May the force be with you!

Please fix GW and arena. I get the update was necessary, but by your own admission, these areas are still flawed. Arena battles are too long now. GW is way too long. Come on guys, please put the focus on the problems.
Still love this game, just want it fixed.

I would just like to say. I have tried to give the protection a chance. Yet I do tend to dislike it greatly. I have been playing this game since the day it came out, and have spent hundreds of dollars on it. I enjoyed it quite a bit until now. I am very disappointed in the game makers for the lack of thought that truly went into this change. All I can say is that I do not believe I will spend another dollar on this game, and probably will not be playing it anymore.

In reference to your recent post on upcoming updates:

"Making the fully random drop rate experience more predictable, an oxymoron that’s harder than it seems"

No one likes random. When I say no one. I mean that.

May I point you to this:

You are wrong ... not so bright people prefer random, because they dont need to think/study about rock-paper-scissors, they (for example) rather place Dooku lead and let the luck of the dumb work for them! ;)

There's so much rubbish being written here. I've come top in arena three times in the last week and was sniped by 4 seconds one other day, and I don't even own Dooku and my RG is rubbish. There are other ways of approaching the problem, if everybody is running Dooku-RG then run something that counters it.

What makes me laugh more than anything is the dual whinge that "I have to run Dooku-RG" and "the arena clock runs down too quickly". Of course it runs out too quickly if you are using a pair of pathetic pokers. Try something else, by the taunt of St. Han. Think outside the box.

GW is also much easier now than it was before. Cooldowns get reset pretty much in full every battle. You can sweep through the whole thing with 5-7 toons. That's where your Jedi come into their own.

This is a game. You have to play it. This involves trying things and changing up what isn't working. I don't want to play a tedious cakewalk that just has a "press here to win" button. Things are much better post-update.

I agree. Challenges were crazy hard the first day but that was addressed. GW is about the same, my jedi squad can run it through. Problem I have in arena is that I win my battles but my team gets crushed when I'm not playing.

You know ultimately they can do whatever they want to this game and people will keep playing or not. The concept isn't really to appease us and keep us loyal to the game, it's about making a profit for the company.

At first I absolutely loved the game, now I more or less just tolerating it. I have yet to start Light Side battle tier 8, and still need to finish Dark Side tier 7. I just sort of lost the drive to do it since in game energy goes to farming for gear. I feel like I'm waiting for something cool to happen that will draw me back in but I also don't think I'm going to lose any sleep over it. Every day I will open it up at my desk just before I log in to work and I endure the mundane aspects of this game. I'd say if I had any major complaints with this game it would be the following:

All characters should be farmable at some level of game play.

Stop messing with balancing characters. Some will be stronger than others, deal with it. If you want to balance anything, make sure every character has a counter character then at least we won't have to battle the same boring teams all the time. It's in everyone's best interest to have diversified teams.

Add gear packs to the store for a sensible amount of crystals. I'd personally think that a gear pack for each of the current gear types would be awesome. AGI, INT, and STR plus a bonus of a few of each of the ability mats, and 100K credits. I'd definitely save up my crystals for this. The constant grind will not make you money in the long run as you will have burned out your players at the upper tiers and the cycle would continue until you no longer have a player base. Look at games like Injustice, after nearly 3 years that game is nearly dead. Star Wars has a long history of merchandising so we expect to work for and at times pay for all things related. But honestly, it has to have sense of purpose, and value.

And hey, how about a monthly character pack for new players. I'm not condoning P2P or even freemium IAP but if you focus on value add you will probably make more and keep your players happier longer. If you don't believe me, have an Aurodium Data Pack for Darth Vader and see how many of those you sell.

Please increase all challenges to a total of 5 attempts. In a game where it's difficult to earn enough galactic credits, making credits, ability mats, and training droids 5 attempts @3 times a week would be extremely helpful to everyone. At the very least we could be seeing more advancements in the game play for those of us that started playing when this was released late last year.

The last thing I would do is restructure the daily activities to not force players to complete all the tasks, personally I'd make GW and SA optional for bonus. And remove the need to complete 5 hard battles as an activity. I think it enough have 3 battles on each, light and dark sides.

That would make it more tolerable to me. After knocking myself out getting Yoda to 7* and then busting it to get his abilities, level, and gear up just to have him give up Jedi Mastery to become a Nerf Herder has burned me in the place where I sit. I have no idea what it will be like when the game becomes even more multiplayer oriented, since I personally dislike MP style games. I guess we shall see at the end of this week.

Just my two cents. I've been wanted to say it for a while but with the unknown direction of the game I think now is just as good as any time.

Make me love the game again. It's not hard, and I'm actually not that picky. I'm just getting really bored with your game.

I have the same problem in Arena, no kidding I just got the award where you beat N teams in Arena (was it 400?), did not lose like the 20 last battles, ok maybe one but not more, but getting smashed at night when I sleep... Should find a way to play while asleep, that'd be a very nice ability LOL
