New Update is nothing but Greed!

Anyone buying the new episode pass and also defending the new update to SWGOH are part of the problem. Not only do they expect you to buy a £40 episode pass, they want you to buy a £30 conquest pass, and also spend money on their datacrons, and they also have a feat in the GC saying 'win with an active episode pass' translating to 'pay us to be rewarded with this feat' 

Typical Movements from a greedy company and dev team that care more about money than the state of their games life span. 

As much as I'd be out of routine and be lost without the game I've been on for years, I think if it was to die at this point, then I wouldn't be bothered. 

They really missed the mark and shown how out of touch with the players they are with this one.

    I'm thinking the same thing as you friend. I'm shocked at how bold faced this cash grab is. All the rewards for using Huyang are locked behind shard requirements. I thought Conquest challenges being gated by the new content was annoying, but this is another level. I get they need to keep the lights on somehow, but this is quite a lot to take in.

    They claimed that this was intended for the F2P players, so I'm playing it out as a F2P. I've done everything I can so far, and after just a couple days, I'm already behind on rewards from where I should have been. The feeling I have trying to play catch up before the end is discouraging. It just feels like it's harder to earn rewards, especially seeing the feats 'win with an active Episode Pass' and 'win with a 7 stars Huyang'. Those are two feats I won't be completing.

    It goes back to what most of us have been feeling all along, we can't play this game the way we want to. It has to played the way CG releases characters. Don't get me wrong, in time I'll unlock Ahsoka.. but certainly not on day 1.

    If cutting our rewards back even further is CG's idea of more player engagement, they're going to be disappointed in the results. The community is getting tired of these tactics. I have no idea how they ever considered this new update as intended for F2P players. Without spending, we're losing out on rewards we were already getting for free. If you keep moving the goalposts, eventually the players walk off the field...

    BTW, off topic; Where's the Jar Jar event? Fix the fleet meta! And delete Datacrons!

      I think I know why they delayed Jar Jar.

      I am pretty sure that the next Gungan GC will still have the full Gungan team feats.

      So they will delay the Jar Jar event to just before the GC so more players will have it and they can claim that the F2P who can't do the feat have only to blame themselves. This way anyone pointing that this update was supposed to allow F2P player to reach level 50 in Episode is false can be blamed for poor planning. It will completely ignore the fact that it will force F2P players to go after every character in less than 6 months, but it is CG for you. 

      What's reality when manipulation can give the illusion of righthood!

        I rarely come to the forums. But this is so scummy and greedy it's important to let them know just how much they've effed up. It's appalling. People keep saying you will get the same rewards as you did with crates... Not sure about that. Deffo not f2p. First give us the crates back, and second get rid of these greed filled feats that most won't engage with.

    It's actually abhorrent that the normal conquest pass was not mentioned to be included in the episode passes. There's no way I'm spending $30/month on just passes. And, are max rewards on the free track even obtainable with the way they've gated quests / GC's now behind the paywall?

  • you wont even be getting the same rewards as crates cause crates would be given about every 3 days now you get less rewards over a period of basically a month meaning you basically cutting any rewards by over 10x
