Upcoming Change to Darth Malak [MERGE]

Agree. All Sith Assassin gear should be refunded. Why even bother tagging Sith Assassin with Sith Empire if you were planning on ruining her kit? Shameful.

This is just the latest deuce dropped on us. This is obviously a trend now and everyone should be expecting these things from the game. Spend your hard earned m***y on someone you care about and not here. I stopped caring long ago. And if i get banned, so be it.

I geared SAss from g8 to g12 after I got Darth Revan, please refund all my gear, she's now totally useless on this team.

I would like to be able to counter DR Malak teams without using JKR or mirror match. Aside from EP lead, I don't think anyone has found anything and that is what really hurts the most about this update.

Against full SE, full zeta DR teams, there is only one non-mirror counter now. That is not enough.

And this is exactly the arguement I'll be using when asking for all of my Revan spend back.

It wasnt designed that way. The devs clearly said that it was not the intention.

If a mechanic is against the will of the developer and you're using it to profit yourself (get more crystal payout), thats exactly an exploit.

No, it *was* designed that way. The Code in the game was written such that Palpatine lead gains a ton of turn meter when attacking a Darth Revan squad. Players don't need to go out of their way to subvert any game mechanics in order to make that happen - they just choose a very common leader and play the game normally.

The Devs are now saying that they don't WANT Palpatine to be a counter to Darth Revan with Malak, so they are changing it. It doesn't mean that players using Palpatine right now, or who will use Palpatine versus Malak-less Darth Revan squads in the future, are exploiting. Remember - this change is built into Malak, so players who don't have Malak will still be just as vulnerable to Palpatine leads.

So since they aren't changing Palpatine's functionality, and they are literally only changing Malak to prevent Palpatine from beating squads with Malak, then obviously using Palpatine to defeat Darth Revan is not an exploit. They are still leaving it in the game!

After 24 hours to think it over I still don't think this is a good move. Palpatine may be an older character but it shouldn't be considered an exploit or anything like that. I have the most fun with a palp lead over my Darth Revan lead. For me, this move makes the game less fun and that should never be how you operate a game.

It's not terrible had they just limited to EP...but it affects SM and SA and the entire TM mechanism for Sith.

If I buy a car (revan) and I put a motor (malak), then I put some wheels that recommended me on March 23 the development team (SA).

My question is because only 21 days later who recommended me those wheels (SA) breaks them.

I have explained this to EA's telephone service and redirected me to the development team.

My question is why does malek need a rework and he wasn’t even released a week ago?

Cg do you folks even thoroughly test toons before y’all release them? Or is it that y’all are so focused on making money that y’all dont care about testing and just wait for the players to test them?

Either way it makes y’all look bad as a company. I’ve played online games for 19 years now and I’ve never been so annoyed with a game or the developers of any game as I am with swgoh. The things y’all been doing lately is very discouraging to me as a player. This game used to be fun...not so much anymore.

Cg developers you guys are pushing people away. Starting with JKR to Malek...the path y’all are taking might not kill the game...but you ain’t gonna have the amount of players that play now come this time next year.

I for one am done with financially supporting this game. I can’t do nothing about the money I’ve spent since 2015 on this game...but from this point on I can and I know I’m not the only person that feels this way.
