Overprepared is Overdone!

This is the Waterworld of threads.

Regardless of whether he is crying or not, he's right. Overprepared is way overused.

I was venting. What would you do if you couldn't get past a really easy team with your strongest team because of bad mechanics?

Keep trying or look on YouTube/forum for solutions, not make a rant thread

Solutions for what exactly? You should know what overprepared does by now. A team that I can beat 100% of every battle and the only difference is overprepared.The entire battle is absolute rng. Either my team is allowed to take their turns in order and easily crush them without any effort or the rng kicks in and I can't even get a single turn. There is no strategy involved. Either you tank the attacks and status effects or your team dies without getting to take a turn. It takes them multiple rounds to kill my team because of how weak they are. It's all status effects and turn meter drain holding my team in place until they are completely wiped. Tenacity is useless in this scenario because it's not 100% effective.
I'm still in phase 2 where it's early and I don't have all the right mods to deal with what I need to. I did manage to beat them because the rng finally had them hit my tanks instead. But this was after 2 full refreshes of wasted time. When I was finally allowed to take my turns in order I destroyed every one of them in a single round because of how weak their team was against mine. It was so easy I could have put my team on auto. This is exactly the reason why I have written this post.
Why does every battle need to have the exact same blanket modifier? I used to like it when different teams had different modifiers. Now it's the same thing for every battle and it's super lazy because no thought was put into it.

Overprepared is CG being overly lazy. We know it and CG knows it. CG just doesn't care anymore. But if you send CLS in w/Raid Han and stun JTR that should help you alot in getting through that node. also take out poe or finn right after her.

Because CG only knows how to turn it up to 45, or down to -5. They don't want to hire someone who knows how to balance anything because that would make it less aggravating for players.

Look at LS Geo TB, it was "tuned" almost three years ago, before we had Relic 8 or 9. Even now this TB Relic 8 and 9 characters are getting ONE SHOT by the stupid OP garbage on defense, even in wave 1 that happens. It's excessive garbage, but they aren't going to change that or anything else they make too difficult.

Granted, if it's too easy for players, or if players find a way to beat JMK, they'll tweak the AI and even work overtime to get it working "correctly". "Oh no! Players are beating this event too easily, OT for the weekend is approved. Tweak or fix it ASAP!"

I tried exactly that except the stun only works for 1 round and they get multiple rounds to wreck my team after they stun and ability block everyone I have.
I eventually beat them using the basic JKR team with Kenobi tanking most of the blows. This is entirely rng based and no skill.
Speed is not an issue here. It's being forced to wait an entire round even if every character on my team is faster. Which I know they would be faster against the same lineup in any other situation.

Good for what exactly? It's the only modifier I see on every single battle. Do you even play the game? If you knew how it works you would know that it doesn't add any difficulty to the battle whatsoever. There is no added challenge in the form of strategy. It forces the outcome to be rng and tanking a full round before you're allowed to play.
How is that supposed to be inclusive to thousands of players who play this game? I see people with GLs complaining about it because even a GL team has to deal with the same exact problem of being wiped out before ever getting to take their first turn. There is nothing fair or fun about it.
I am still playing the event on Normal and I have never ever had this much trouble trying to beat the easiest of battles. Battles that are supposed to be basic runthroughs or minor challenges until you reach the boss. The entire point of Conquest was to test your roster and it's abilities. I remember having to actually work towards winning battles by swapping mods and changing my teams around for different battles. Now all of that has been pushed into the backburner for the whole event. All I have left to get me through is my best team and waiting until their stats have almost fully regenerated for each battle.
I used to like the variety of mods when the event first came out. Now all of them have been removed and replaced with overprepared. I could screenshot the modifiers for every battle and it's the same exact single mod for nearly all of them.
Did I forget to mention exactly how much fun this isn't? It's like a slap in the face from CG because they lied to us about the reason why this event exists in the first place. I've seen it mentioned in multiple announcements and replied from mods on these forums. Players don't forget about these things. Stop punishing us because the development team is too lazy to actually make a balanced challenge that the majority of people could be happy with. What is the point of playing a game if all it does is give the players stress and anger?
You never listen to the playerbase or to our feedback about anything. Every single event has been oops we broke something or oops we left that part out or oops we forgot to mention that specific thing that everyone is struggling with. What's even worse is that we rarely ever see it get officially acknowledged. It's always radio silence from the people who announce updates or changes to the game.

I agree. It used to be my GL's would be out sped in sector five. It is already happening in sector 3. Beyond ridiculous.
JTR resistance just wiped out my JML squad before I got a turn. How is that freaking possible? Overprepared somehow takes a too with 350 speed at most and gets it faster then a 582 speed GL? Is it 100% boost?
Conquest is a grind as it is, it doesn't need to be a falsely advertised stat boost too.

Overprepared is good for CG to make money. It's not a coincidence that most overprepared teams can only be outsped by (well-modded) GLs :wink:
