Not a fan of this "QoL" update. The change to the buff/debuff bar is kinda ok, but not really a problem that had to be fixed. The squad building thing and the TW number of squads placed thing are fine. The advanced pop-up screen for abilities wasn't necessary at all (unless they implement health and protection percentages). The character selection screen changes weren't necessary as well. Everyone knows their roster so no need to display their gear levels (speed would have been much better). Displaying their names is useless too as it doesn't work on the left bar, only when you already selected the character. Also it only applies to Jawas anyway and it's not that hard to remember what the 2 Jawa leaders look like. Allowing to search by leader is hardly a QoL update. 90% of the players probably won't use that anyway. Now it takes longer to reach the guild screen, which is more like anti-QoL. Simming to the max as default was totally unnecessary, nobody asked for that and it doesn't make things easier, but rather harder or equally easy at best.
Simming raids now gives pretty bad rewards and you even have to register and wait for the rewards (would have been better to just launch and immediately and automatically send rewards to everyone). This new method doesn't do anything and only gives worse rewards (should have been top 4-10 rewards). The gear find flow is such a minor change, it can't really be called QoL. The Grand Arena changes aren't QoL changes but rather gameplay quality changes.
Where is the event simming? I want to be able to sim those boring events that I've beaten and 3-starred hundreds of times. Why do people have to "prove" themselves every single time with those? Just make them simmable once you 3-star them, saves a lot of time. If you don't want to do that, then at least implement a x8 battle speed so they go faster at least. Why can't we still sort guild members by GP? This is such a basic feature and should have been in the game since guilds launched. Also, we need a testing ground for guilds where members can fight each other and test compositions. With no costs or rewards, just for experimenting and fun; wouldn't harm anyone. This one is probably too much to ask for but why not make TB simmable for those who 4/4 and 6/6 every battle anyway? It'd be a great time saver. You could demand a team of like 90k+ power that you could choose and sim the mission with, so that you wouldn't get those sims for free, so it is as if you would do the battle manually.
Overall I'm very disappointed. So far this has been the worst QoL update in all those years of SWGOH. Just my opinion, though.
