Sandbox Mode

They don't want us to have one when they answered this question a year ago

We answered this recently in the last Q&A, but our disposition is that we don't want to put in a practice mode. Our theory is that even a mode that didn't have rewards could potentially balloon session time and we think that could ultimately lead to a negative experience for players. The Galactic War is still a place to do a fair amount of this, even though we understand you can't tailor it exactly to your needs.

It was almost a year ago so I hope they changed their minds on this

To be fair, arena meta changed in October and hasn't really changed in a while

Id still like to see it

Im actually not in favor of sandbox. The whole advantage of single attempt to defeat something is lost if you can practice. Arena shards controlled by cooperative means already circumvent this process by asking arena buddies to swap arena teams before attacking.

Imo this goes against the spirit of the game.

They would need to throttle the sandbox during tws or gas. And once everyone gets used to attacking the rarer squads it becomes trivial content. The idea is to give those with unique teams an advantage. All of that is lost the moment they include sandboxing.

So in general I'm not a fan of sandboxing.

I don't think sandbox mode is going to happen any time soon. I don't think there is a reason for sandbox mode with all the different game modes in the game as is.

Unofficially:

It's still not on the table..... so it's not likely to be a priority this year.

I get what you are saying and mostly agree...except that Revan teams have more than doubled now that he has come around twice. Chewbacca twice now and C3PO have given some counter options.

I can see your point. Disagree...but I definitely get where you are coming from.
