This game is completely unreasonable
Been playing this game for about a month now, reached level 59 and I've gotten to the point where I think I'm going to stop. There are a multitude of issues I have with this game and I realize that this is pay-to-win and these things might be deemed acceptable due to the predatory business model that EA has chosen to employ but I just needed to air my grievances.
1. Squad Arena
This is more a complaint about the specious "power" statistic than anything, but this number is completely arbitrary. Realistically a squad with a higher number will be victorious more often than not, which has my experience. "Power" does not account for synergy in the cases of the Nightsisters teams and Phoenix squadron teams and grossly under rates certain characters. This is clearly detrimental to people who are looking for a moderate challenge only to be steam rolled by one attack cycle.
2. Galactic War
This is a mode that should become progressively more difficult, not be easy except for one or two roadblock teams that are 10 or 12 levels higher than you are. I have given up ever completing this mode again after my most recent run where the final node is 13 levels higher than I am. It seems like in a lot of these instances the game is designed to pit you against players who have invested much more than you in order to incentivize you to dump money into the game just to be competitive.
3. Character balance
Some of the characters in this game are still too good. Mother Talzin and Boba Fett are prime examples. Teams with Boba on them basically have 6 characters, the fact that his buff can even come back is too much. Execute is not nearly common enough to deal with this. Talzin is a case of being rewarded too heavily for synergy, the NS team just stacks the poison debuff on you much too quickly to be able to do anything.
Naturally I'm sure that the response to these problems is "well you just need to spend more money on the game in order to compete" and if that is really the only solution then I have found the answer I was looking for. If I've hit the wall then there is no more enjoyment to be had for me with this game and I will uninstall it.
