Feel free to add anything you’d like and disagree with my assessment but please keep it civil.

From a lifetime gamer and investor in gaming stocks, I would like to address a few concerns regarding the current state of the game. First, let me say thank you to the CG development team for bringing us a quality and balanced game. It’s not easy to keep a game like this from getting stale or highly unbalanced and I must applaud you for the effort so far.

There have been a couple of major concerns bothering me lately and I’m worried how it will affect future development. First, regarding ships and grand arena; it seems to be a major oversight that total Galatic Power is used to match players when almost half of the GP will not be used for the game mode. There have been mismatches in every GA so far and anyone who has concentrated on their fleets is at a major disadvantage. I’m sure most of you know at least one person in your guild who has given up on GAs because of this. Seems in a competitive game mode, this should not have been an oversight.

Concerning GAs as well, the 3v3 mode seems like a cheap way to introduce a “new mode.” Personally, I’m not motivated to learn strategy or develop teams for 3v3. With how many characters there are now, it’s overwhelming to learn everything necessary to be competitive. There was absolute no effort needed to roll out this “new” content and yet, it requires more interaction from players.

This brings up the next problem which is the obligation versus the fun in this game. When any game starts to feels like a job, it is not a good sign for continued use/play. I’ve noticed in my guild and a few others that many are now just feeling obligated instead of enjoying the game. I can safely say no one in my guild enjoys the sith raid. Most avoid it and just post a few battles to climb the leaderboard slightly. Territory battles seems to be a battle over who can participate the least but just enough the guild will still get their stars.

For me personally, ships are my favorite part of the game but the release of the Millennium Falcon has started to change that. Not for the reason you are probably thinking. It’s actually easier to take number one in arena...no, I’m blown away the bug related to the Houndstooth and breach has still not been fixed. Since the HT was released, it has been bugged and the developers were made aware of it.

It has affected a competitive game mode for months, how could it be an oversight?

I’d like to keep this from getting too long and not turn into a “hate” thread so I’ll end it here. Feel free to add or disagree.

Trying my best not to give up on this game (player since Nov 2015).

"I can safely say no one in my guild enjoys the sith raid."

You can safely say that for a large number of guilds.
