Monthly Conquest

They dont have a full schedule nailed down just yet, but in the past I believe they have said that individual and guild content dont really play a roll on each other, as they have to play well within thier own group.

Any chance we can talk them into twice a month? Lol

Dear CG,

How do you plan to integrate conquest in the monthly calendar ?

Conquest starts the 1st of the month and goes for 2 weeks.

Yep, but I wonder how it will fit with all the other events. We now have a lot of non-daily content: Raids, Assault Battles, GAC, TB, TW, GC, Conquest. All those are time consuming, and don't misunderstand me, lots of content is a good thing imo, and I will welcome even more. However, it calls for some scheduling to avoid to jam pack some days with events, which might cause some players to not engage content because it takes too long (or cause frustration) and have others not much to do days, which may cause boredom.

As TBs are 2x6 days and Conquest 14 days, seemed an valid option (and easily achievable) to not overlap them.

While I do agree with the sentiment, TBs and TWs alternate so there would still be conflicting days (such as you expressed) whichever way they decide to schedule Conquest.

I wouldn’t mind seeing GAC go down to just 2 weeks on the off times of Conquest, but this seems a difficult ask for a revamp of the GAC event schedule and structure (not to mention many players enjoy GAC quite a bit more than I do and could be upset by such a change).

Conquest doesn't take a ton of time. It's fine.

I get what you're saying here, but I don't think Conquest takes all that much time. You get 8 bites at the apple a day with naturally occurring energy and stamina rewards you for spacing them throughout the day.

That said, we're approaching critical mass where there's not enough time for everything, but we're not there yet.

As we approach that point, as they have said, they will balance things out.

People have pointed to the messaging of "holistically phasing things to sim" and asked for things to be made simmable, but we have not been really as close to that point as we are now.

All in all I believe they are more likely to phase things to sim, over trying to manage the monthly calendar in any sort of focused way, especially between guild and solo events.

Assault battles simmable and having something else during the other 2 weeks would be awesome ;)

Once a month seems fine for Conquest. Many people enjoy it, some don't like it. I think the dividing line is if you run one account or multiple.

Ideally, I'd like to see:

Conquest week one line up with GAC dead week, like we have right now. I don't think the timeframes work out here, but it would be ideal for time consumption. GAC dead week often seems like there is too little to do in game.

Secondly, make assault battles auto complete like Galactic Challenges. I know sim is a thing, but it would still be a fair QoL update to just save us from pressing auto and setting our device down.
