Proving Grounds

You have more RC shards in fleet store in a month than proving grounds... for free. Genius.

You find RC shards in fleet store? in both of my accounts i've seen it 4 times since it dropped. 2 in each. Odds certainly not in my favor.

Sometimes 2 times in a day... ~160 shards since its arrival in fleet store (march 22)

Super unfair - this is meant to help those players who didn’t have a strong enough roster to earn CAT first go around, and you make the entry requirements basically having a strong enough roster to earn CAT the first time

Just the relentless punishing and astonishing greed of this game.. not asking for the game not to be challenging or take hard work, but for a game about a story of the good guys defeating the Empire, it’s never been lost on me that it feels like we’re playing a game run by the Empire.

4 million GP is fine

Daft cabbage

I can respect your opinion. It’s an idiotic opinion but it’s yours…which seems consistent.

The GP cap is absolutely ridiculous. It buys CG nothing and provides no benefit to players. In fact, I will bet that overall, it will impact their bottom line in a negative way. I am seeing more and more players that are NOT traditionally f2p, putting all spending on hold until this and gear crunch and quality of life issues get sorted. You can add me to that growing list. This game needs new leadership.

These issues and the lack of any communication from cg are the primary reason I rarely play anymore. Why should I spend all my time and money on a game that doesn’t even pretend to care about the player base?

This development also drastically devalues conquest over all. Why bother with it if my roster isn’t good enough to unlock the conquest exclusive right away. Yeah the rewards are ok, but not that good when you consider all the time and messing around it takes to get feats done. Plus with the feats being geared towards the newest toons that aren’t farmable until conquest starts that makes it even harder to complete.

I hope this encourages people to not gloss over future conquest toons just because the kit doesn't look good at all and not worth trying hard and expecting to max out the unit in 6 months

I know that was the sentiment with Second Sister's ship, and with people who didn't care about TW and Boba Scion of Jango

People pass Max Crate because in many cases getting it turns into an annoying grind, so we purposedly get a lower crate to avoid getting tired and bored of the game. That was specially true during Boba and TIE's Conquest, as the grind was awful. If they want people invested on their game mode, make it less grindy, more entertaining, make us enjoy playing the game, that's why we play after all.

You can:

1. Grind hard
2. Avoid grinding and completing the rest by buying packs
3. Stay f2p and wait months or years to get the unit

Can't have no grinding, and wanting units at 7 stars without putting in the effort

Ultra the issue is that you’re missing the point of how CG just does the same carbon copy stuff over and over and over. There’s no originality to the feats in the last 13 seasons of Conquest. There’s been virtually no QoL to make the experience more fun to avoid burnout.

If people can’t/don’t want to spend on packs, or don’t have the time or patience for the same grind for the 14th time in a row, they shouldn’t be punished by being the locked out on a new character.

This proving ground event is not good. It’s too long of a grind for people already waiting a year as F2P and it does zero for anyone already with these toons. It’s juat bad

Dont forget the community manager at the time said the stupid feats that required counting something that wasnt easy would get looked at, given our feedback about adding an onscreen counter.

This brings up an interesting point that makes 4 mil make more sense.

If you couldnt get it unlocked the first or second time around... because of lack of roster depth, aka not having 4 mil gp, then perhaps thats the bar.

A player must get to the level they could reasonably be expected to have been able to do it in 6 attempts.

Perhaps thats why.

Making it not about an easier time getring CAT, but rather a push to get you to a deep enough roster where you might not need to play the new mode to get the next character.

My favorite part about proving grounds is that it gives other people something to do but costs me zero extra screentime. Ty, cg
