Conquest is totally broken.

I'm strictly ftp and I have 3 GL's, just got JML to R4 this morning, now just have to farm more tickets to work on his ultimate. Even with 3, it is a struggle to stay top 50 in arena since everyone else has them as well. I'm about half way through Sector 3 hard. Yes it sucks not having cool down disks anymore, but I'm closing in on hard crate #3. I got max rewards on all the previous conquests. Not really doing much different. Haven't spent for an energy refresh yet. Just trying to run through all the zones and get as many feats done on the first run though as possible. Then I go back and finish feats. Finally, I then check out the strategy guides and youtube videos on how to get the boss feats to get the last tickets I need. If I don't get it this time, oh well. I've been buying both CAT and Razor Crest shards anyway, so I won't be able to unlock CAT until the fourth conquest.

Next time I will play hard mode if the reward chest is as you say, less effort to get some stuff in a mode that is just not fun.

Also S1 is when you have the fewest disks and the challenges are scaled expecting you don't have very many disks yet, and that because yo have so few and because of RNG, the disks cannot be expected to synergize yet.

As a result, you can probably get the first reward crate (which is equal to max on Normal) without messing with Disks at all.

I could be wrong but conquest might not be totally broken after all.

the fact you think i have only one team/Vader to use during this is funny.

i use lots of teams and all of them struggle now but for alot ppl this there only way to get R8 parts.

no reason you have make so difficult, and only made this way for F2P wont get access to R8 cuz want lock it behind a paywall. god forbid they get these parts by playing the game.

but boy if Pay players complain man you jump out and fix that immediately lol.

Don't drink and post, bro.

I don’t think Conquest is broken. This definitely feels like what I initially expected when the mode was first released.

If cooldown disks were the only reason why you could do well in conquests, you don't deserve top rewards.

Wait, what logic makes this true? It's 1 of those statements that sounds good, but I see no logic that would support a purposeful mechanic intended to give a user success, as being a source of dis-entitlement of top rewards for such success.

You might as well say, "If mods were the only reason you're taking 1st in arena then you didn't deserve the 400 crystals."

That's not really a direct comparison. Mods dont reset.

The logic seems to be that is you needed that particular thing as " the only way" to do it, then you dont deserve the current rewards (not the past ones).

So there is more going on than just DCS and quickening, Im resonably sure. I went through the entirety of last conquest without either(to see how hard this one would be, and if I could expect to still get max rewards.)

It was still fairly easy, and teams like Geos/Pheonix/Ewoks were trivial to top tier teams. That is no longer the case. Same mods, same discs(nearly exactly in fact,) but the difficulty of many of the enemy teams seems to also have been ramped up. When no decently modded team except GLs can beat Geos after they were trivial at best in the last ones, the Conquest experience becomes boring, and frustrating.

Not aaying this is a bad thing, but what seems to be a large swath of players getting two full Conquests worth of max rewards and /then/ having it tuned so they can't seems like really, really bad business/development practice.

That's all I'll say really. I dont feel entitled to max rewards really, except that I've been able to get them repeatedly already theough strategy and management.

This difficulty is much closer to what I expected before playing Conquest for the first time, and I assume also much closer to what they wanted out of the gate.

Not necessarily saying it should not be this way, but I also think complaints are definitely warranted because of how it shook out.

I might actually still get max rewards this run if im lucky and refresh a ton, but what is more frustrating to me is that the game mode is significantly less fun now.

I’m not sure what your roster looks like, but this creator makes some helpful guides.

Even without having a chance at any S5 battles or S5 feats you should still be able to get the 3rd best rewards. Sounds like you have been getting 2nd best rewards if you weren't previously able to complete S5/Boss, is that right?

This conquest is intentionally harder, and many people are getting a lesser box than before.

One awkward bit about the current conquest is that it was hard to find any guides early on. My suggestion in those cases is to go back & fill in your feats to maximize your points on earlier sectors while waiting for a guide to show up for the boss that has you stuck (in your case, Rey). There are many challenges to overcome without getting past S4, and while I personally hate and find tedious the challenges that require counting TM removal or critical hits, it's definitely still something that you can do to pass the time. (And not everyone hates those things the way I do. I'm just one person, maybe if you give them a go you'll find the challenge fun. I honestly would probably like them myself if only CG would put in a counter so I can tell how well I'm doing, which would help me know whether I need to tweak strategies or start completely over.)

Sorry I can't remove your frustration over S4, but there are guides out now, late as they may be, and there are a couple days left to maximize your CAT shards, if that matters to you. Might as well get what you can out of it.

Every single team past Sector 3 (even tuskens lol) is faster than your entire roster is frustrating. Just saying.

1) Galactic Legends
2) Disks
3) The Tuskens always go first except when you use Han or Wat
Just saying.
