Where do I begin?

A few things I’ve noticed with the game as of late…

  • To get anywhere, you need to buy. I find myself constantly buying upgrades just to keep up with other players. Even then I feel like I’m miles behind!
  • On the same note… Paying £20-£80 a month for conquest and episode passes is ridiculous. It should be a one time purchase not monthly!
  • The squad arena is also pointless at this stage for me. I’m ranked at like #324 yet every opponent has galactic legends and ridiculous squads making it impossible to actually win anything! I have over 100 relic amplified characters ranging from Relic 3-9 and yet I can do fiddly squat!
  • The new Era content is shocking. I managed to get Luke to 4 star (62/65 shards) and L17. Once you get past first phase in the colosseum, you don’t stand a chance of completing phase 2. I can also only get past the first level of the Era challenge. They took away the ability to earn shards and still waiting for the new Maul to be released. Just throwing money at something with zero progression.
  • Don’t even get me started on sim tokens. You accumulate hundreds of thousands of them and use like 50 a day. Pointless having that level of tokens when you barely use them. You should be able to buy stuff with them or trade them in!
  • Last observation, wouldn’t it be cool if you could trade characters with people or trade characters for light speed tokens?

What are your thoughts? Should CG be taking what their loyal cash cows are saying on board and make some decent changes to the game?

  • Most games that I tried/played that has a "battlepass" gives you a good base when you get it. It's usually a good commitment to help the game to develop while getting a good boost to keep up things, in this game it's not that way, the pass is just a poor people thing.

    No idea where CG took the idea that bullying people to spend so much money each 15 days was a good plan. It's not required to play the game, but it has a big impact in the new game mode (and it will also have in the following new game modes), so it makes the game feel worse for players that are not willing to spend a crazy amount of game in a mobile game.

    I think that their focus is in trying to get new players willing to spend some money, even if they don't stay long in the game, the goal is to get money as fast as possible. That's why they have this soft reset of the Era each 3 months where the work done goes to the legacy and the focus will be again in new characters, Era rankings and burning money to get those characters up to rank well to get the currency for R10 or Lightspeed tokens.

    I wouldn’t say it’s nonsense. I’ve been playing the game for 5 years and if I hadn’t bought stuff, I’d probably only have a couple of Relic amplified characters. I know you can still progress without spending money, but it’s snails pace.

    I don’t buy as much as others because at the end of the day it’s a game, people need to eat 😂 But it’s obvious that those who spend a lot of money on the game are so much further ahead than others and coming up against them in squad/fleet arena or battle arena, you don’t stand a chance once you hit a certain rank…

  • Nonsense. You can  progress with spending anything. You can progress quicker by spending.

    All players have a choice: be patient, or spend money.

    Yes, the era content is poor but your take on spending is down to you, not because the game requires it.
