New Galactic Challenge problem

The new pay wall on feats is disheartening, for sure. Hopefully after this first "Episode" CG will take a look at things and fix them, as there seems to be an overall feeling of "wtf" in the SWGOH community. 

That said, I won't be holding my breath. 

I agree! That was the one game mode I looked forward to trying to puzzle out the 4 different challenges (feats) within the mode. Some weeks I’d only get 3 because I didn’t invest in tuskens etc… Now that getting the 4th are completely unachievable I just won’t play it. 
I’ve been playing since the beginning F2P (I have bought a few cheaper things from the store to finish out a character) but I’m not paying a subscription for a couple extras. 

Maybe you aren't aware of this, but every gacha game developers only really care about trust fund kids because they can spend thousands of dollars on a weekly basis and doesn't care if what they buy is overpriced as long as they can one over everyone elses. Thousands of people could quit this game and EA still wouldn't care as long as these thrust fund kids keeps spending their money on the game. Reason why developpers are confident with these kind of practices is because there are people who justifies them. 

I am no longer playing Galactic Challenges. No fun anymore. When I reached level VII it was a real challenge every time and I liked the fact that winning a higher tier challenge battle gave you all underlying battles. What they have done now completely ruins the gameplay so that is one part of the game I will no longer be playing, sadly, because I liked it as a F2P player. I at times bought something, but this idiocy of paying almost 24$ to be able to get some fickle rewards is about as bad of a cash grab as Jam City's Hogwarts Mysteries. I remember Star Wars Commander and people throwing thousands of dollars into a bottomless pit only to lose everything when that game shut down. I rather play a PC game I actually really own like all the old SW games. Even the EA season pass idiocy, having bought a game is something I will not fall for as an older GenX gamer. I remember the war the SW fans waged when loot-crates and pay to win became a thing with the Battlefront series. That battle was won. This one will probably never be won since in my opinion players of SWGOH are seen as cash cows to milk. And that is a bloody disgrace.

Great point and great ideas. I have the same problem with this change. 

Or you could look on it as a time saver.  With today's GC, I just did the 50RT/Huyang at my level of Huyang, did Jawas at Tier 6, and then Hutt Cartel at Tier 10 and I was done.  I got the last possible feat needed in Episode Quests Chapter 1 and collected the rewards for completing 7 quests there.  I collected my omicron materials from the Episode Shipment store and now will see how that currency builds up over the nearly 6 days until that refreshes.
