Poll on New Updates

Do you think this update is good overall, bad overall, or a blend?

    Blend, not enough time to call it call "bad"

For you, what aspects are good and what aspects are bad?

    New flashy layout I like, don't like the feel of "pay to win"

Are you considering leaving this game due to this update?

    Naw, too soon, I'm an optimist.

Why or why not?

    Answered above

Any additional thoughts or comparisons with previous updates? 

    Don't dislike it just because it is new, but seems to be no point except to grab for the players money.

It's very poor makes you spend money to complete tasks you didn't have to before, it kills f2p, I will stop playing this game shortly after 6 years, they have destroyed it for me, good riddance

This update is not bad per se.

I like the achievements system and the whole episode progress bar mechanics. It would be pretty good indeed, if it were not for all the cash grab implied everywhere. I can live with the Extra Rewards Track with the Episode Pass but, you need the pass to unlock half the achievements AND you need the shards to unlock the other half PLUS you need the pass to complete the challenges. Seriously that's too much greed. That's a stab not only to F2P but also to casual spenders.

It is too early to answer this question.

- Why or why not? 

Again, it is too early.

In terms of game mechanics is one of the best I've seen to date but, at the same time, it is the most greedy I have ever seen in any game I have ever played.

1. Do you think this update is good overall, bad overall, or a blend? 

There are a few goods but this update still leave a bad taste

2. For you, what aspects are good and what aspects are bad?

GOOD :

Sims are the first good that came to mind.

There might be others but I can't remember them with all the bads.

BAD :

The diminution of the feeling of accomplishment with how much reminder there is that if you don't pay you can't finish anything.

The destruction of the GC. Why didn't you just add 2 new bonus feats for the whale and then distributed the point through the 4 previous ones? Why didn't you add the crates to the Episode Shop so we could buy them? Were you so afraid that your players would see that after each GC they won't be able to buy what they earned before? 

The overwhelming UI change just so you can frustrate us with hom much we can't do!!

3. Are you considering leaving this game due to this update? 

Not now, but the thought is here when it wasn't before.

4. Why or why not?

If I feel more frustration than enjoyment when I am lauching the game then I will know that it is the last day for me. You clearly took away any joy I had with GCs. Now let's see if the joy I have left survive your greed.

The end of this Episode will be a make it or break it day for me. I planned to try the Episode Pass in december and hoped for an Inquisitorious LSB (Just a dream I know) but at this moment any spending has been put on hold anniversary or not.

5. Any additional thoughts or comparisons with previous updates? 

I am wating the end of this Episode, but I hope that there will be some communication from CG part. And for all that is holy please be it true communication and not some bu....it anouncement where they tell us how exited they are about the player's reaction and they are monitoring everything.

1. This update is bad overall.
2. It’s less effort to get the daily activities done for the people who don’t play as frequently. It’s ruined galactic challenges.
3. Yes I am very likely to leave this game soon
4. I just unlocked Bane only a few weeks ago, and with him I was able to consistently beat the hardest tiers of each galactic challenge, meaning I could typically get the 110+ crates each challenge. However, this new system has not only destroyed the value of the rewards, it’s also made it incredibly difficult now to get omicrons without spending money (and I refuse to give EA that satisfaction). I’m about to go from getting 4 omicrons in 1 week to getting 1 omicron in 4 weeks. 
   5. This would have been fine if they had just reworked the marquee system, but this unnecessary involvement with galactic challenge has ruined this game for me. I spent months grinding for Bane and my work feels pointless now.
