Why so angry…?
These forums are almost completely filled with complaints lol… I have to say that I enjoy this game. That’s it. That’s the post. May the force be with you.

I'm with you on wanting to spread positivity. I love this game too. I also believe CG is mishandling it pretty severely, so I also understand the complaints. There isn't any other place for the voices of the playerbase to be heard and the forums are almost entirely negative..... That says something, unfortunately.
I really wish the higher up decision makers at CG cared about making a game that lasts and has passionate fans, because the people there doing the real work certainly do, and the community really really wants to love this game. I don't think most people really enjoy being negative on here, its just the only option when something you care about so much is a source of frustration.
They have been negative since the beginning. The game is dying for about 6 years if you believe them.
There wasnt a single new content update they didn't hate.
I kind of disagree with that. I've been here since year 2, and I've seen a TON of positivity. There is for sure some overreaction, but as someone who has quit and come back with better mental, I really think most of the criticism comes from a place of wanting to love the game and being very sad when changes feel cash-grabby, or upset a very delicate balance that people make investment decisions on.
I agree that there will likely always be haters, but at the same time, this much hate this consistently is indicative of some concerning decision making in my opinion. And The industry has proven that that doesn't have to be the case. If you really put care into your players' experience and do your best to improve on that across the board, success generally follows. And a lot more goodwill is given when you mess something up.
that's one of the reason a lot of really indie mobile devs can build relatively big followings. because they listen and do their best to make the players' experience good and take responsibility when they mess up and the playerbase is upset.
OK, so the first post I wrote for this thread disappeared or got deleted a little after I edited it (just to add a few more details, nothing more), so I'll just give an overview of what I'd writen:
What is your GP? Are u a competitive player? That is very important, if u are 100% f2p and don't care about fleet arena and GAC i can understand u (very smart decision being f2p btw). But CG treats its players like **bleep**, which makes their frustration on the forums reasonable.
Do you mind to elaborate on CG treating players like **???**?
I have been playing this game for years and in my opinion it is in a much better state than it was a few years ago.
Especially on the f2p side. They put a lot of interesting and strong new chars on cantina nodes. The og-Jedi Team for the raid with luminara, fisto and friends is powerful and easy to gear. They put new chars on the galactic war store(green jewels), which is awesome for new players. A lot of new chars can be used in old squads and are rather flexible. Great mothers are an excellent easy farm f2p high quality toon to make a great squad. We need more things like that. The game cant just be about spending more money than the rest.
To be honest. Punishing one is a bit overtuned but was necessary to lift the executor. The Tie dagger update was semi optimal and baylan skoll is weak. Well. You shouldn't buy every pig in a poke. You cant expect every new event toon to be the new apex predator. It's not CGs fault if you spend money on something and regret it. They never promised you the next most powerful team/toon. It's just your expactations.
Fleet arena should be abolished. The shard system is as bad as it was for the old squad arena. GAC isn't optimal but way better than beeing stuck with op whales who can easily dominate the whole shard. It was a good decision to pit them against each other.
As someone stuck in one of the early fleet shards I just cant care about fleet arena. I will never manage to get into high payout tiers.
I usually try to be positive, but even I can give a few examples/reasons:
And those are just the ones that immediately come to mind.
I will defend where it is possible, but perhaps recent changes have not impacted the progress or investment you have made. I agree with the two main complaints at the moment, I have only ever been as frustrated by one previous issue to the extent I am with fleets at the moment. Whilst introducing things to chase is good and I have been excited about GLAT. Erasing, nerfing or sunsetting progress in a game running for years is dangerous. It’s good players are complaining because when they stop they may just stop playing, that will be a much better bigger problem.
Those of us who have been around for a while know that whilst the game has not died with the amount of complaints in the past we have seen players retire, my guild had a rage quit due to punishing one. So when players talk about how much until we see an exodus, it’s not hyperbole, they are concerned how far will we be pushed. I asked myself this week why do I play when I have felt more negative than positive recently. I assume the forum is that playing out for multiple players, not ready to leave but not feeling good about playing at the moment.
Rapid progression of early game is to replace players who retired in the past. Before we recruiters were struggling to replace players leaving with equal size rosters as so many veteran players left impacting all sizes of guilds. Due to previous decisions they did not like. This varies, I like datacrons but they resulted in many leaving. I don’t mind higher relics but others dislike the push to more resources. My personal big dislike is my efforts being diluted by nerfs or having to re-invest for the same rewards, I like to see progress. But at the moment GAC MM, fleets, raid and now AB, result in no progress or reversing previous progress.

I've done the same over the past couple of weeks. There's a finite amount of 'feels bad' that I'm willing to deal with in a game that I play to feel less bad about everything else in the world.
you should of seen the forums before the migration. im glad that TVF guy aint around anymore XD
He's around. He just doesn't engage with the forums as much because the interface is unintuitive and navigation is painful. I'll tell him you miss him though.
I miss seeing him trying to reason with the constant complainers
Yea this just shows that they are doing so many things the wrong way. I just hate it when people start to sandbag them, let them own up
I enjoy this game. I’ve played it since shortly after it was brought out. My only complaint is their inability to keep to a timeline for 1 event. Otherwise…I’m a fan.
I'm not one of those who play for free and complain about not winning as much as the whales. But this game has serious shortcomings and It has been since its creation. Starwars. It's all in the title. The ships are almost non-existent. The RNG is a disaster. Clearly there are cached elements that prevent it from working properly. It's all or nothing. The revivals of the night sisters in GAC have always been a problem. And it continues. Profundity is expensive for a f2p. And with the Punishing One it is no longer good for anything. The result is still a huge disappointment. And finally. The jarjar event. I farmed as soon as it was possible. And the event is not even open anymore. It was supposed to be present every 3 months, obviously it was abandoned. Without explanation from CG. Never any explanation, it seems like they despise the players. Finally, the pve content is not crazy, it is expensive for them, yes, but that is what makes a game good.
i started a thread called crybaby corner for players to vent. I was the first crybaby lol. but it doesn't look like it caught on
