What will it cost us to keep playing SWGOH??

I started playing this game when it first came out, and have enjoyed it very much over the years.  Not only do I get the chance to collect my favorite Star Wars characters, I get to throw a Lightsaber at my enemies and watch them die. Due to the recent changes and the direction this game is heading I find myself questioning... Well everything.  Will I be able to complete more than 2/40 feats on the next GC?  How many complete yet unclaimable Quests will you show me today?  Will my opponent with 8 Galactic Legends show up to our Carbonite 4 showdown in GAC?  Do I even have the same love for the game that I once had?  Does CG need a proper Sugar Daddy?

While I silently ask myself all these questions, I go over all my spreadsheets once more to make sure that I am only being bent over at a 90° angle and not that nasty 45-30° where you can be full on taken advantage of.  THE MATH CHECKS OUT.

The only question left is how much it will cost to keep this rapacious beast fed.  Will the next Episode Pass require a finger from our left hands?  If so, do we need to have all the new character shards BEFORE we cut "said finger" off?  These are the questions that need answering.

 

  • Well apart from your quite frankly childish references to being bent over, the issue here seems to be you as how on earth can you have been playing the game since release and still be hoping opponents not show up in Carbonite 4?

    To give you some perspective Ive been playing 5 years and only purchase the conquest passes and a couple of LSB bundles and compete comfortably in Kyber 2/3, and I don't have 8 GLs.

    You not being able do more than 2 feats is clearly a you issue despite CGs cluster**bleep**s recently.

      You completely missed the point and are as tone deaf as the the people making this game.

      The math only checks out if you constantly eyeball the feats and remember to get everything from the stores before refreshes every time. It took a 2-3 step process and quadrupled it over the course of a month. Its like the calendars. Same value as if you bought it outright, but if you end up forgetting and missing a couple days, your out of luck with those resources. as for the GC's. First it was pure rebel fighters that was hard to max out without Luthen, then it was tuskens, who you could get literally 0 zero feats done if you don't have them, and now the next one is Jawas...seeing a pattern? All it takes is a quick look on the forums and its very clear this isn't a "you" problem. People are rightfully pissed. They took something that we had for free before, and decided to gatekeep it behind a paywall. A slap in the face is still a slap in the face, even if there is an apology after. I mentioned this in another post, but more people have Rey, SLKR, SEE, JML, Jabba, Leia, and JMK than they do a full tusken team, and I'm sure the same is probably true for Jawas. This update has some good, and a lot of bad. CG just can't help themselves. Whenever they give something to the players, its always followed by taking something away. If CG was a person, they'd be that person everyone knows who even when they're trying to be nice, they can't go two seconds without giving a backhanded compliment. Not exactly good company.

        Guess what you are not gonna believe it.The feats you miss are now in the daily box? Wow i know

        You cna have a lot of feedhack fir this update but losing rewards is not one of them.

        Stop spreading missinformation

  • Well by doing the math you can see you are not getting bend over at all its just feels like it.
    While the constant reminder of paying and some other issues are there, rewardwise there is 0 issue since both f2p and p2p should get more with this update
    Every feat or quest that is "looked" is not needed to finish the pass + the feats you lose are implemented in the daily box which almost everyone that plays the game completed it
    That being said if you think the feats are holding you back you are arguing that the same GC that was here before gave you more than the ones that are here now while both the feats you are losing are in the daily box
    Basically your 2 feats now that are the same as every otheer gc thats has come in the game give you the same as 4 feats before (maybe even more with the daily box) so i dont get your reason to vent
    Maybe if you want to give constructive critisim you could actually make a valid argument such as "nodoby wants to be reminded daily to pay for the game" or "the red dots keep apearing while i have 0 quests" or "why dont you give us all 7 quests day 1 so we can plan ahead what to do" etc etc
    The comment about you waiting for an 8Gl opponent in carbonite to not play while you are here multiple years i wont even criticise.

      Yes.. we get it.. THE MATH CHECKS OUT.  Keep drinking the Kool-Aid while CG continues to make more problems before solving the ones they are already aware of.

  • What? Free play needs to go, once and for all! I see a better game if everyone spends at least a million dollars on this game! If you can't afford it then leave and let a spending player take your spot, please leave!

      Millions? Spoken like a true peasant.

      Billions. Players need to be spending billions, just to log in, and then trillions on monthly passes. 

  • What will it cost?

    Really though, tusken GCs aren’t new. Jawa GCs aren’t new. Both have appeared several times and both featured in the krayt raid.

    those were good enough reasons for me to farm and at gear em to mostly G9. They get the job done.

    should they have picked something a little more common for the start? Probably.   Should you farm tuskens and jawas incase they crop up again? …… naaa.

      Might I suggest that instead of farming Tuskens and Jawas, simply cross breed them and farm Juskens.
