Open Letter to CG

To everyone who might read, this is just my venting of whats been going on. Will very likely be an echo of other complaints. Just adding my voice to everything...

 

I haven't made a post in awhile, wanted to go through this ERA before talking, and since we are down to the final week. It's time to post my thoughts. 

This whole design, had potential. But to me, was almost entirely a flop. Coliseum has to be the worst "content" added to the game in it's life. The level of RNG that factors into each run can hit absurd levels. Characters added, were solid. But the way to level them up was a ClusterF&*%, and an extreme show of greed. The change to datacrons, as well was purely greed. There was a reason why us players complained so much when datacrons first came out, and then you, CG, adjusted to make them farmable and last longer. But now, you are taking it back to what we hated. Unless datacrons are on the phase-out, this change is disgusting. 

Instead of rolling immediately into another ERA you should be taking the time to stop, listen to us, and consider our complaints and worries. Alas, we've been met with radio silence. Only occasional post about bugs. 

Take a break from releasing characters. Talk to us. Give us some real content. If quality content and characters come to the game, we will spend and show up in greater numbers. At the rate it's going, more players will leave, and more players will spend less and less until they leave as well.  

Please CG, do not be the reason this game dies. There is plenty of time to fix what has been done.

    This seems to be the purported sentiment from a lot of self-proclaimed "kraken" on various platforms.  Now that they see how the eras work and the devaluation of gear as well as the pittance of rewards vs spend, many are saying they will not spend on era toons anymore.  A 7 star character has no value in coliseum vs a 4 star and I think I read that person tracked a $20 spend a day to remain in top 10 with no valuation in rewards.  We shall see what the next era brings.  On my leaderboards, the top 20 all have spent to get to era level 90 and 95.  

  • I disagree with the assessment of the game not going to die anytime soon. I have played countless games that were racking in money yet still shut down. With an IP like Star Wars here on Heroes it's not about the revenue in and out but rather about any contract and licensing agreements forthcoming. We could all be seeing the last grab of cash by CG before it shuts down its servers when its licencing contract ends.

    The next era level will have a huge drop off in spend. I personally don't like any of the characters from andor series, but the series was good. With knowledge of know how things work now ill not even buy anything from era lvl again, I'll just wait. 

  • The game isnt going to die anytime soon it is racking in millions of dollars every month.  Yes -- even after the update.
