Game Unplayable in Brazil
Hi guys,
I live in Brazil, I play the Brazilian version of the game, and I have an account with over 12 million GP. However, the game has become unplayable for me (and many other players) this past week.
For those who aren't from Brazil to understand, the Brazilian parliament approved a new law imposing a series of restrictions on online games as a way to protect minors who access them. In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, this means that all packs with random rewards have been removed from the game in the Brazilian version. For example, packs that give 5-330 character fragments are no longer accessible here.
How this mainly affects us: we no longer have the daily free box in the Webstore; we no longer have the daily free pack in the PC version; we can no longer buy character packs (like the KX pack today) or coin packs to evolve era characters.
I'm a player who spends a fair amount of money on the game: I buy the Episode Pass every month and have already purchased several Lightning Bundles and other resources. This isn't cheap in Brazil. An Episode Pass here represents approximately 9% of my salary (that's A LOT of money for us). I've reached a point in the game where I'm close to having all the characters with at least Relic 1, but to consolidate that, I needed to achieve 5 stars and level 75 for all era characters. I was managing to do that until now, but with these changes, I won't be able to get my new KX to 5 stars, and therefore I won't be able to level up the era characters to 75.
After investing so much time and money in this game, it's absolutely frustrating to reach this point and be harmed in this way. But what to do if this is a matter of Brazilian law? Well, other games have found much better alternatives than removing everything from the Brazilian version. Efootball, for example, implemented an age verification tool in the game. If you are of legal age, you can access everything. If not, you don't have access to what is prohibited by law. It was simple, the game continued as before. But in Galaxy of Heroes we were simply expelled of the game.
Unfortunately, if I can't level up my era characters to level 75 as expected (and since I spent money on it), this will be my last week in the game, which is dying for me.
