Trashed it with JMK + zero supports.
Then trashed it again with the Captain Enoch, DT(P), NT, TFP, Stormy.
I hate s3 for other reasons. It's just way too grindy with 15 DV + 14 no attacker feats, esp since some teams absolutely trash the teams that I had been using for no attacker but DV needed to survive and I couldn't get him to do that (mainly bc of stamina, but still, that's part of the point -- s3 is just dragging on forever in a grindy way bc of the limitations of the game mode + how s3 is constructed).
CG if you're listening, it's true that the last 2 conquests were some of the least grindy in a long time, but this conquest is an overcorrection. I'm not saying you can never be more grindy than you were the last 2 cycles, but this is just bad. It makes me hate the game mode again.
Also it's going to make me quit spending crystals and quit collecting Datacrons bc I have to spend too much effort just doing these feats and by the time I'm done with them I'm tired of looking at CQ and just less likely to open it, even to sim end nodes.
Don't make us hate the game. Games are supposed to be fun. That's their purpose. You've already artificially cranked the demand for DC materials by introducing the targeted DCs we can buy with episode currency. If you then crank up the grind you reach a point where the whole thing collapses. That will come at different times for different folks, and I can't guarantee that I'll quit touching CQ the moment I get red crate, but I stopped playing CQ for 3 cycles at one point just bc it was beating my fun to death. This cycle looks like a return to that, so giving up on DCs seems likely for me, given my past responses to grindy CQs.
Please don't do this next cycle. Please. You're killing the fun. That's a bad thing.
