you need to reinstate Testers

Get Testers like mobilegamer and others to test the events before they are put out ,CG you dont have the time or resources to make content, test and release you need help and theres people in community that will do it for free..

    Is there? I cant tell lol
  • Seems like they had a good sized internal test team (of mostly temp employees) prior to initial launch. Then like most products they cut them after release and only kept a very small perm employee test team for sustainment while they increase the number of alpha and beta testers (free volunteers). If you want good testing you got to pay for it. This product pulls in money hand over fist for the executives and shareholders, but they clearly do not value, invest in, and care about maintaining thorough quality assurance.

    Then please kindly provide feedback that the beta group stinks ten ways to Tuesday.


    I’ve talked to some of these people. I’ve been blown away with how poor some of their understanding of the game is. It feels like they are just random people plucked to test the game.


    The actual internal CG testing staff or alpha and beta tester groups? Not sure exactly what SDLC looks like other then these two groups. Very curious though!

    To be fair, some of this later testing is from diffrent perspectives that doesn't include hardcore experts in mechanics. Usabilty and player experience is more the target. Not that finding that stuff isn't good, but ideally should be caught in earlier testing.


    Not internal CG testers. I’ve probably spoken to both of the others. Some work for EA, not CG, and test lots of EA products.

    I’ll give 1 example of someone who I came across by accident as I was reaching out to see how they liked a certain high relic character that pretty much no one else had and I suspected might be underrated (swgoh.gg will show the top owners of each character in the game). I know this person doesn’t read the forums so I know they won’t read this.

    When he found out I made YouTube videos he said I should showcase this character of his in the raid because that’s why he geared him up. He was able to do 1.5 million damage in P2 of the Sith raid and that’s the highest he’s ever seen.

    So yes, this person who is paid to test the game thought a high relic team doing less than 2 million damage in the Sith raid was impressive.

    Edit: I went back and looked and I was wrong about the relics. This was before relics and he had 1 of only 6 G13s registered in Swgoh.gg. Point remains the same though.
  • Galaxy of Heroes - Beta Program Application — Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Forums - https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/210663/galaxy-of-heroes-beta-program-application

    Here is a link to submit an application to become a beta tester. It was a developer forum post from July. Dont know if they are still accepting applications or not but if you feel strongly about it, I dont think I have enough time to do it personally otherwise i might submit an application, then maybe you should apply.
  • why? whats wrong with the game going down on last day of GaC?

    everything is fine
