The white flag

This game is driving me absolutly crazy. I've been playing for a year but I'm ready to throw in the towel. Is anyone else frustrated? Biggest rants:
1. Galactic War is impossible with my lineup. I can cruise through the first 10 nodes, then 11&12 are all g12, god mod, raid and event toons that don't die.
2. I keep getting a draw in arena now, thanks to g12. No one can die, so I just sit there wasting 5 minutes for zero reward or movement. I typically kill 3/5 toons, then just sit there dealing with a neverending circle of tank. Barris/GK or Chaze.
3. Gear is now a paywall. Straight up. If you want to gear anyone worth high level gear, plan on waiting 2 months each tier. Or pay for shipments, at roughly $10-20 each peice. Ezra at g11 needs so many high level pieces, its madness. Raids keep giving salvage rather than full pieces.
4. By the time you get someone geared, stared, trained and maxed, they are irrelevant as we get 2 new OP toons each month. I'm laughing at the CLS crew as the new Nightsister lineup doesn't die. Go and gear the sisters! All to 12..! By January they won't be meta anymore as Snoke will probably be so OP he fights arena solo.

    Recently? haha


    Got to node 2 yesterday with a dn lead and a dooku.


    You're using a squad that's been dead since March. Actually that's a squad that has never really been a meta, what do you expect? People are constantly screaming BUILD RESISTANCE. It's a team made for Haat and GW. If you want you can build an arena meta team, it will also work in GW. GK+Zarriss can get you through GW on auto(excluding 1 or 2 of the full gold team battles where you have to play manually). It's not GW that's hard, it's your team that isn't good.

    Got to node 2 yesterday with a dn lead and a dooku. Was so annoying I just restarted the entire thing. This is how I play my game these days. All I was trying to do was pre-load a team.

    Seriously can't find a place for fun in game anymore. Def not quitting, too much time invested plus love my guild and other social parts, but I am beginning to barely play anymore. Top twenty in arena is fine for me now where just last week I was top 3 everyday for almost two years (share payout with folks).

    I realised I haven't spent crystals I've earned in arena for anything but panic farming for past couple months now. And then I realized panic farming for toons that will be useless by the time I catch up to the whales is just boring and absolutely not fun or rewarding at all. Gotta be some carrot for the stick in this game.

    I am expecting big changes soon. Direction they are heading is already making a ton leave the game. Every TB now I hear multiple guild leaders talk about how many players have or will be quitting.


    you've been saying you're thinking about quiting since like forever. ;)
    I wouldn't hold my breath for the big changes to come, specially not if you're already "burned out". If anything, new additions to the game take longer to complete and require more playing time daily.

    The problem with G War isn’t making it thru to the end, it is the end that’s the issue. Most of us have teams to make it to the end, problem is when you do get to the 11/12 nodes, the cpu is putting you up against teams with god mods on their meta teams. G War shouldn’t be meant to get beat all the time, but it should let you get thru it some of the time.


    God mods should not be that advantageous in GW: you should have plenty of team with preloaded TM to cover the speed...


    LOL how many times i was out-runned even with pre-loaded TM. God Mods are no joke.

    You totally misread that wrong. I have been beating GW for almost two years straight. Recently, although I can beat it, it takes way too long and is just annoying without a fun factor. Fighting different teams is fun, fighting cls lead and gk/zariss is super duper boring. Fight same teams daily in arena cause their is no variety anymore and it's gotten extremely old already
  • +1 regarding Resistance. Get them and get a zeta on Finn. I just did and finally cleared GW for the first time in probably 2 months.

    Yes it helps doing lots of raids as far as gear is concerned but until challenge gear is removed you're going to have those streaks where you just keep adding pieces to that stockpile of 1000+. IMO TB shop and Shard Shop come in much more useful.

    Many of my guild mates, including myself, are holding out until the end of the year, basically waiting on a really well handled QoL update, the one that's starting to feel overdue, not just more and more content.

    There are some good points here. Ive always disliked the lack of balance in the game amongst toons, and the power creep is unreal unfortunately. I cant quite figure out what it is about this game that upsets people so much, but its definitely something. Ive never played a game that upset so many people. I really like the game overall.

    I think for me since I grew up in the 80s all this pay to win stuff is a bit offputting. Good thing about pay to play is the game is able to constantly evolve. If the game never evolved we wouldnt have guilds, ships, TB, mods, and everyone would probably have every character by now and we would be bored. But this game caters to veterans and pay to play, that is the design. Either invest lots of time or money to be competitive. If you dont care about competition and only collecting then this game is awesome lol.


    If u are from the 80 all u did was pay to play arcade games.

    stop.

    DN. CLS. Zolo. Thrawn. Resistance.

    all work in arena.

    also, this game literally gives anywhere between $5 to $9 worth or crystals a day (Fleet and Arena). So you can almost buy a piece every day.


    This is a game not shopping party. Not everyone can be in top20 in fleet arena. If you are in top 50 in arena you can buy full gear for g9,g10 not everyday but after 3-7 days.
    I play Thrawn and many times it is very close to draw in arena. Draw is happening sometimes also not against Zbarris +Gk. I would like to play arena without auto but on 4 speed it is so long manually. Some toons after updated became very slow.


    Also I'll assume your device lags. That's your issue not the game's.


    I dont think so. Check some threads about game usage of memory or battery. I didnt have problems with lags couse it was fast. In last two months evrything slowed down. But I dont care too much about this. Good that my iPhone never start to burn. Few times I just was waiting for this during playing. there is something wrong woth this software for sure.
  • When enough FTP drop out they will listen. Why? Because they will need a steady stream of FTP accounts to convert to PTP. This game will probably last another year or two before it runs its course, and while I have drop enough money into this game to make my wife roll her eyes at me it not enough to break me when the game goes away. You must realize this game was never designed to be played for free at a competitive level, and they need you to spend so they can get paid.
