Greed, pure and simple- you are effectively looking to double your profits
Get rid of the new paid track and revert the GCs to how they were.
To the decision makers and the community team - you’re weak, you’re out of control and you’re an embarrassment to yourself and everyone around you.
The least you could do is respond to the feedback, either own up and make some changes or double down on your greed and ruin the game for a lot of people.
To the players- MTFBWY
Pure money grab. A mobile app game that made billions last year… you add another money gate?
I give thee a satchel of richards in which to gain sustenance.
I'm dead! 🤣
Been on this game since beta testing. I will be leaving soon since this last upgrade is a sh$$ storm. Greed is all it is about. Game no longer fun.
The constant light speed bundles are a total pis# take on people who invested time in the gsne
The fact you literally can't complete the chests through grind and getting a variety of teams but that you literally HAVE to pay should be illegal, absolutely ridiculous
can't say that I disagree. I've really started to dislike this game alot lately. theyve consistently made worse choices after bad choices and then won't respond to any criticisms. guess it's easier to pretend everybody's happy with the game as it is. at this moment I'm not sure what if any part this game will play in my future. for the first time since I started playing I'm legitimately thinking about quitting bc it's all CashGrab all the time now.
I’m a 9 year player who has never logged on here before. The new update is ridiculous and makes it not fun to play anymore. Get your act together CG
I am sure CG is looking at all the feedback and will be planning how to balance this to make it better for everyone. Its too early to tell how this new system will pan out but it seems it might be leaning towards the greedy side and I expect CG to adjust things to make it a bit more generous.
Leaning? This move defines “greedy side” ~ they create pathways absolutely unobtainable by F2P, and I would also say to mini-whales like myself, and expect people to be happy with their “amazing efforts” to make the game better?
wow… just wow.
leaving the game shortly
I've got a 12900k/3090ti rig I use for gaming and work. Since starting SWGOH shortly after beta I've dropped $2k in to the game, about a quarter of what I spent on my rig. In what world is a mobile game deserving of that much money to then demand more through egregious tactics?
I'm far from a big spender, but that's 20x AAA titles, or a GPU upgrade I could have bought instead of playing this God forsaken mobile game. I've never been closer to turning my back on a 12m GP account, and I wonder if that's EA's ploy so when they shutter this game there's less drama to deal with because the majority of the player base have already decided to quit.
Someone is angling for a Christmas bonus, so I’m expecting them to double down and burn this game to the ground.
It's 7:30 AM in California as I post this. When you posted this thread was 4:30 in the morning. How early are they supposed to wake up to respond to player feedback?
Meathead spent most of his day yesterday gathering feedback and no doubt reading the dumpster fire on discord. Give them a minute to compile it and come up with a plan.
How about they come up with a plan for once BEFORE releasing dumb stuff? Ever thought of that?
No plan survives first contact with the players.
I guess they are hoping we'll go away?
First, let me just say this update was very poorly communicated and horribly mismanaged.
Now, I’m just curious, does anyone here realize there’s a store that uses the new episode currency from the free pass in which you can buy literally everything from the old GC rewards pool (yes omicrons too!)? Except rather than you get what you get, you can actually pick what you want?
this update moves rewards from the end of GC into a store/onto the free pass. Once we get past this initial phase (like in a week or 2) people are going to start having an excess of currency to spend on whatever they want. I used crystals to get huyang shards and it’s only gonna give me like an extra 2-3k episode points over someone who didn’t buy shards. for those worried about omicrons, there are 3 in the shop and 1 that should hit on your episode pass after completing the 2nd weekly GC. Which, by the way, means you’ll be getting your omicrons SOONER than you would have by waiting for GC rewards to hit.
and yes. Spending money on a pass should speed up your progress and/or make it easier to progress in the pass. That’s how these games work and I see zero problem with it.
