no deaths allowed, and one of the characters not yet farmable?

That's a new low, CG.

We don’t need to do every feat to get last crate.
Maybe Capt rex and phenix are so awesome that a g11 Rex with a few disks would be enough to win fights in sector 1 without losing anyone.

Waiting until the end of conquest before seizing the pitchfork could be wise.

It was a response that I was already buying it previously, and now they've added value to it.

I already bought the pass. They listened to the survey and provided more value. Seems pretty great to me.

Good for you, I guess? I'm not going to reward the increasingly ridiculous requirements. The more they tighten their grip, the less likely I am to buy anything.

Yes it is good for me. They rewarded me by providing me more value for my purchases. The very opposite of "tightening their grip".

Adding value is fine, what I have a problém with is that they had to also make the feats worse than ever. That's what I meant by "tightening the grip", in case you genuinely didn't understand.

"Worse than ever" is subjective.

I guess you are right, the whales that have Captain Rex on relic will be fine.

Every conquest someone says this, and every conquest people figure it out somehow.

I see 4 possible outcomes where rex non-farmable won’t matter:

- g11 rex will be enough
- ability exhaust / caustic emission combo
- voluntary vanguard
- the other feats are doable enough so this one could be skipped easily

I guess we’ll know(ish) in 3 weeks by polling our guildies if less people than before managed to red crate, which is possible, but impossible to say right off the bat.

FWIW you could already skip two globals with no pass, that's 30 keycards and you can skip (iirc) 34

Except I’m guessing that the people who would need to skip two global feats also don’t have Jedi Knight Cal. So that’s 35 missing key cards for this conquest.

I mean, it's all going to depend on an individual's situation of course, but it's not all about "need"... if you can skip four globals, that time investment in those global feats would be worth $30 to a lot of people. There are so many people right now that have the rosters to max crate Conquest and just don't. It's not worth it to them. There are definitely people that would rather just buy things than grind.

Nonsense to suggest they aren't 'tightening the grip' on who can achieve red crate. The last two cycles have been paywalled behind mainly new character feats. I'm sure there will be ways to cheese feats but let's not pretend.

They are obviously intending red crate to only be achieved by more endgame players which is up to them, no complaints. Pass+ bonus is good for those willing to pay actually makes it a worth while deal.

I'm comfortable with waiting and unlocking after 2 cycles. I just hope they don't start making the gold crate unachievable, which is starting to become more of a reality. Otherwise it will eliminate the point for a whole load of players that try and stay competitive but not end game.

If proving grounds become CGs intended place for unlock for most players in that 5-8+ mil GP bracket, that's a tough pill to swallow.

I havent spent $ since datacrons arrived and I have gotten the red crate every conquest so far.

Good for you,

You are either have the latest toys - according to swgoh.gg less then 1% have captain rex at gear 13 so far, or you've found a way to cheese some feats.

Your individual accomplishments or ability to cheese feats doesn't change the obviously new intended bar for success.

Again not complaining or digging out whales - I'm not completely f2p and whales keep the game alive.

How do you figure they were paywalled? There were only a few boss feats that featured Trench or Aphra. They aren't necessary for red crate. Tuskens could be skipped as well. Cal kills were easy to cheese...in fact, it was probably advisable to cheese even if you had him in relics. The latest toys were absolutely NOT necessary for Fury.
