Ship challenges for new players hitting 60

This is a really horrible bug, and its crazy its taken a while to fix or at least create a work around so we can still finish our daily quests. Its almost like a strategic decision to push people to spend more on crystals.

People should be kicking up a bigger fuss about this on here, but i suppose it doesnt affect the majority of players so nobody cares.

Yeah, hoping that they lower the difficulty increase for the ship challenges. Seems like bad game design for them to make all the ship challenges harder just because it went 3v3. Even later on, I could three star some, but now I can't even complete the same ones unless I sim them.

And hearing now that even at 60 they made them much harder then they need to be, yeesh, really was a cash grab update

Ya it's bad, and I got her all hyped up for ship battles. I've been "ok" since the update because I could just sim my current challenges. Not looking forward to when I'm ready for the next tier since I'm still relatively new myself to the game.

I was trying to guide her on which ships to focus on once she finally unlocks ship battles. But its just been one huge disappointment for her and she is all sad that she cant at least finish her daily activities anymore.

So from this day she will no longer be able to finish daily activities because she cant complete the daily ship challenge! Who knows how long it will take her to gear/enhance new ships ESPECIALLY since she cant even complete the first darn tier!!!

I know if I was her I would probably quit playing. Having to probably go months no longer being able to complete the daily is a huge loss for a new player. I bought her a 19.99 crystal pack during the crystal bonus sale and was planning on regularly buying her crystals as she approached higher levels, but to hell with that idea now.

I got my wife into playing the game a few months ago. She really got into it and just hit level 60 today. With the new ship 2.0 update the challenges are IMPOSSIBLE for a fresh level 60.

I tried all different kinds of combinations, wasted her materials and credits leveling the few different ships a fresh level 60 would have and nothing works. It cannot be done without spending tons of cash for ships in the store.

So now she can't complete her daily activities for the day, because the new ship challenge activity is now unwinnable until she unlocks new ships weeks or months from now. So not cool and now she has gotten frustrated and may stop playing because whats the point if you can't enjoy the new content you just unlocked?

It requires lvl 60 ship with lvl 85 tier 12 pilots CG only uses max toons for testing

Just hit 60 and im in the same boat here, simply cannot do the fleet mission challenge and thus cannot complete the daily challenges. Is their any advice anyone can give on how a level 60 might be able to complete the fleet mission challenge?

GP is misleading - yeah mutli-pilot ships have large GPs and more abilities, but that doesn't automatically make them better. There aren't really any at the top of the leaderboards. I'd focus more on the ships and what they do, rather than how large their GP can get. Heck, at the top even that doesn't win out.

My Tie Fighter (pilot 7*85) 39288
My Ghost (pilots 7* 85 all 3) 34440

Granted the Tie is 7* 85 and Ghost itself is 6* 80 it will come up a bit, but it's a LOT more investment to work up a multi-pilot ship.

I would suggest their has been a change to the fleet missions, I have been able to (fluke) 1 star the T1 ship building Mats ship challenge tonight, so I can at least complete my daily activities. OP and waxweazle hopefully you should be able to complete your daily's ...

Not today. This fleet mission is not available to me today and the ones that are, are out of my league. sigh. no daily activites completion for me today. Thanks also for the advice, folks, will work on improving ships and hopefully the situation will improve over time...

Notice the necro, lol, btw this was actually addressed, they made only this one (for some reason) easier so that new players could complete it, otherwise it was impossible for new players to progress, so I guess they had to make it easier.
