Ships 2.0 Update - 6/7/18 [MEGA]

Hi Holotable Heroes,
Thank you for all your feedback on Ships 2.0. We have received a ton of great responses and ideas for improvements in the future. As with all parts of our game, ships battles will continue to evolve and change over time.

Keep in mind, this is only part of the picture for Ships 2.0, there are features still to come. Specifically, the PvE table should allow players to earn more resources and practice new strategies. The current single node for reinforcements is just to allow folks to start experimenting until there is a place to earn Reinforcement Materials and Ship Omegas from the Fleet Battles table.

We will remain vigilant in monitoring balance concerns and re-evaluate as needed.
We have also heard your feedback that the Level 60 Ship Challenges are too difficult. We are making these significantly easier in today’s update and the first challenge tier should be completable by players who reached this tier recently. This should also make the daily activity to complete this challenge more achievable.

Finally, I wanted to mention that the reason *I* am posting this and not Crumb is that he is headed, along with RyDiggs and Erik, down to EA Play this weekend to meet with some of our players and take them around EA Play. This is one of the very initial offerings of a VIP Program which we will share more on at a later date.

It also means his responses will be a little delayed in the next few days, which with our moderators’ help, I will do my best to assist, but may be a little bit delayed.

Thanks as always for your commitment and feedback, and we’ll see you on the holotables,
-Carrie

    Balance concerns? Seriously? It's an RNG fest. And you nerfed several hard farm ships. The thread with 1k+ posts made it pretty clear what the "concerns" are.

    Just curious - is "as needed" really just code for "when we feel like it" or is it more like "when marketing tells us people ain't buying what we're trying to sell"?

    I'll hang up and listen for the answer....3+ weeks from now.

    Ships 2.0 = more rng, longer fights, even more rng and instead of bigger variety, its even worse now since 90% ppl run the same. Before change ppl started testing weird teams (I used to face very hard team without biggs), now its almost all the time biggs/tfp/vader + S1/SF. And if I forgot to mention..... It's waaaaay more rng now. And you cant even choose the order of reinforcements, because it will work not like you would like it to work. /clap

    I was at a steady 23-28 place before update. So far I have not won a single 2.0 battle. Not . A . Single . One.
    I am currently at the point where I can't even destroy a single of my opponents ships.
    So, F.O. 2.0!

    Huge numbers of players have said that ships 2.0 is an unbalanced mess that only makes worse what it was meant to correct (e.g., being overdependent on RNG).

    After all of that feedback, I have to say that "we will remain vigilant in monitoring balance concerns and re-evaluate as needed" sounds an awful lot like this:

    This seems very vague. Does this mean the Ships PvE table is coming with today's update, but will launch without places to earn Reinforcement Materials and Ship Omegas... or that a future update will contain the PvE table AND a later update will add the mats and omegas?

    Today's update does not have the Ship PVE table, the PVE table has as a part of the rewards the ship omegas and reinforcement materials.

    I don't want to undervalue player experience and feedback - that is 100% something we factor into all the decisions we make. But it isn't the complete picture. On the whole ship fighting times have reduced by upwards of 10 seconds across all segments, there are significantly more people engaging in battles, and a number of other metrics we consider healthy.
    However, I want to caveat this heavily, that doesn't mean everything is hunky dory OR that the things that we're seeing is indicative of your experience, it just means we need more time and to validate some more things. We also want to see how behavior changes after the release of the table, and once people can upgrade more ships - the likelihood that the meta will start to shift. Ultimately, we want to see a lively and interesting daily ship meta. If we don't see interesting play developing, we will re-evaluate.
