Well, CG has just come out and said it (again): Relic Delta is meant to make you lose if you don't pay up. As they wrote to those in their closed playtest, "Our stance is that counters should completely lose at RD4. . . . The RD5 numbers exist as a 'in case it wasn't clear, you really shouldn't be winning this.'"Punch-ups are dead. End of story. With so many of us saying we're out once they kill their game with relic delta, what are you most looking forward to? What are you going to do with all the time and money CG is giving back to us?Here's my list:Play some real games. Maybe grab Jedi Survivor on a sale; get back into Civilization and Cities: Skylines; finish Echoes of Wisdom, which could good if I need a quick, mobile fix for a few minutes. And goodness knows I have plenty of Steam backlog. (Any indie game recommendations?)Get more sleep. I've gotten into the bad habit of playing swgoh in bed, sometimes waiting for the midnight refresh or 1:00 a.m. event refresh. It'll be nice to not have that temptation. Read more books. Nighttime is when I used to read, but swgoh pushed that out. I haven't read a book for fun in a long time, so I'm looking forward to getting sucked into a book again. How about you? What are your plans for life after swgoh?

I have a stack of books on my night table at least 5 deep that I haven't touched mostly because of swgoh. I keep thinking about that scene at the end of cable guy where they break the giant dish and it kills cable across a whole city, and people are all upset, then the dude opens a book and starts reading and is happy. This games been a disgusting toxic addiction for years, and it's only gotten worse. If delta finally kills it, so be it. So many of us will be better for it.

trying to find a cheat so i can get perma banned so I know for a fact that I will never return. At least they are making it simple to want to quit.books other games and real life are there for the taking, jut need to quit swgoh.

I'm mostly just going to change the way I play. Datacrons started the path towards my apathy. When they went with focused datacrons the meta became raw stats over strategy. Who is Krennic? Just throw the DC on Queen amydala to make them do completely unintended things. Hoda? Put it on JMK instead to take out another stupid overpowered DC. Its all very stupid and makes the game feel like we are fighting against the devs instead of playing against each other. My interest in GAC and TW is almost zero now and relic data is definitely going to kill it dead. I am going to collect characters in this game and have no incentive to do anything other than farm them ftp now. Zero incentive to rush things and zero incentive to be competitive means zero incentive to spend money. I'm sure I will naturally spend less and less time playing and that's fine if this is how its going to be.

What will you do with the extra time/money you'll have after Relic Delta?

I've been playing since the end of 2017. I've been extremely dedicated to the game from around.....middle of 2020. I am going to stop playing for a month when Relic Deltas land. Then see if I miss it. It's pretty obvious now that they're going to be pretty obnoxious when they land. They're on V4 now and if anything they're worse than V1.
During that month, I'm going to put Final Fantasy Tactics on my phone (bought it, never got round to playing it) and look into whether it's worth starting another gacha game. See if there's a franchise I like and a game I like.
After the month, I'll review my feelings. Most likely, I'll start playing SWGOH again. I can't see this being the end. However, I very much doubt I'll be as dedicated. Already, since the announcements of RDs my dedication has gone through the floor. I can't be bothered to do the things a few weeks ago I took for granted. I won't collect new characters (unless they're something I really want like Zuckuss and 4-Lom). I will work on getting my roster (GAC teams) to higher relics. I won't put in the effort to get datacrons from Conquest. I probably won't spend anymore money, at least until/if I have positive feelings for the game again. I'll phone it in a bit in 3v3 GAC. Hopefully, I'll be motivated play 5v5 GAC properly at a level where I'm not majorly disadvantaged (as I will be with RDs).
