Stop with the Inquisitorius Galactic Challenges

Naturally my favourite GC are the ones where you only need to beat the leader to win!

What I like about GC's are that firstly it's new content to engage with every few days, it's also unlimited so that's a bonus.

Sometimes I'll complete first time and not touch it again but I really like when it's really hard and I have to think and try multiple times. It's a bit like the C3po event incredibly annoying but actually on reflection when you complete it incredibly satisfying.

I think the rewards are great vs the effort you put in, I'm sure some will disagree! But it's not life or death if you get them or not but a tidy pick up especially the shards for shard shop, regular boost.

I'd like to face newer/ varied teams, sometimes the opposition is a bit repetitive. Love to face the inquisitors for example or Iden, I'd engage with that a lot more.

I think the length of each challenge is spot on, means I can complete depending on what else is going on.

Other then over pushing certain factions, I do think it's 1 area of the game that CG has nailed, IMO

Pretty much every other GC is better than the Inquisitor ones. That includes Fleet Ones like the most recent one.

Im gonna take over this thread for a moment and ask a question:

What is your favorite GC and what things about that GC do you like specifically? Be as detailed as possible.

Empire/Imperial Troopers

Dots and offense up are easy to theory craft for squads, if your Empire squad isn’t strong enough. I like the challenge of 1 LS/1 DS too.

A Starkiller themed GC would be cool. Require a variety of different squads mechanics.

My favorite GC’s are the one that provide a challenge to my roster, not my wallet. Like the most recent fleet one was fine, since it required people to think outside of the box.

I get it that new factions need to be promoted. I’m fine with that, after all it’s how money is generated. There is a point though that it just becomes annoying. When the Mandolorian faction was added, there were GCs that required them but it was nowhere near the scale the Inquisitor GCs are being pushed.

So, what is your favorite GC?

I find that GCs are easily forgotten after the event, but it would be nice if you could do a GC Tournament similar to what Doja did.

I like the ones in the future the best because they have a feat tracker. Eh?

Nothing is less fun then inflicting purge 57 times and killing Rex thinking you have 60.

I liked these GCs because the factions (Scoundrel, Clone) are large enough that we have some choice in the team composition to complete the GC. I enjoy being able to have some choice over which characters I use to complete a GC.

The other feats require mechanics that could be completed by teams other than the one already required (Scoundrel, Clone) like attacking out of turn, offense up, or dots. If I don't have the chosen faction, I still like to participate in the other 3 feats by using interesting team compositions. Depending on what characters I have geared up, I may put Shaak Ti with Piett and Palpatine to get offense up or throw Vader in with Boba Fett to get enough dots. I end up spending more time playing the game when I can still participate in 3/4 feats because they aren't locked to a specific faction.

*edited for typos and clarity

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that complaints about these GCs are not fully warranted.

The BIGGEST thing about GCs are the omicron materials. We have been able to get the omicrons from every single Inquisitor GC since they started, mostly with g8/9 Inqs, just doing tier 6, then getting the rest of the feats in tier 10 to secure the tier 9 box. You're only missing out on a few mod slicing materials.

The main downside of having had so many Inq GCs for me is just the repetitiveness of the feats. It's much the same challenge with a new backdrop every time. Maybe just lower the frequency a bit now that they have been out for a while (or just change the theme to Rogue One :P)

I like those GCs where it feels like a puzzle to work out tier 10. A recent one was Clones vs Sith I think. I had to be clever with my application of exposes from Bad Batch to control everyone's turn meter to avoid the Sith getting a lot of turns and overpowering me.

What specifics about those GCs did you like?

Primarily it required us to think outside of the box. Several you had use really odd squad compositions to accomplish the feats. Some examples include having to complete the battle with a LS and DS character surviving while also requiring all Galactic Republic characters, plus needing to gain stealth X number of times/score 30 critical hits, etc,

There are definitely quite a few of those GCs that provide a real challenge but are rewarding when you finally beat it. All the Inquisitor ones are “Do you have Inquisitors? No? That’s too bad. You should buy them”. I’ve lost count of how many GCs required Inquisitors, but I’m fairly sure it’s been every other one for months. Stop… if you’re trying to allow people who made the mistake in farming Inquisitors to have a place to use them since in virtually every other game mode they’re useless, you should probably address the fact they’re a terrible faction. Second Sister’s only use is her ship, which I’ll grant is very good as a reinforcement.

I think the GC that need you to think outside the box and ensure that you need to take advantage of the faction / event interactions are probably the best.

The last GC was fun - You could easily win the battle with brute force by using a GL, but the Empire feat needed a bit of thought behind it. The event feat (Leader special ability causes mass assist) meant that using Darth Vader lead was (for me) the optimum lead. It forced me to use a toon in a leadership role that I don't normally do.

For a 7.9M account, I'd sort of expect to be able to get the penultimate box on each GC. I don't have a problem not getting the "reward" of the final box, given that I don't have all of the factions at relic levels. I think the Inquisitorious frequency of events is a bit excessive though. This GC I managed to get the penultimate box by using a 3 man Inquisitorious team plus JML and Wat for the Purge feat. The only problem was it took too many attempts to get this feat as there were a number of attempts where I killed the Clones too quickly. ***We need a feat counter!***

I hear what your saying about the rewards but respectfully I don't think your assumption as to why people are fed up is correct. I've seen a few comments in the various threads about rewards and omicrons but as you said in most cases we're able to gain those regardless of the feats. However quite a few people have turned on the game today seen that it's another inquisitors focus and have taken to the forums. It's obviously struck a chord and tbf for the majority the tone hasn't been attacking or aggressive more a plea for our sanity! It's demoralising only being able to engage with the only regular content half the time.

I don't use omicrons so the rewards don't bother me that much, but the second I see a GC that I can't have a chance of winning I click off (or do the bare minimum). I accept there's lots of factions so that might happen but when it's every other one it ruins the experience.
