Enough is Enough. Stop Spending Money.
UPDATE 19/12. So I decided to quit over a week ago, after 8+ long years and a huge amount of money spent. It wasn't easy, but Im glad I did. I started playing raid shadow legends. While its a complete money sink as well, its actually fun and the developers actually care about their playerbase giving a significant amount of free gifts regularly. My only advice for anyone else making the switch is to be patient. There is so much more fun content than SWGOH and I've experienced ZERO bugs so far (Take notes CG). The reason for my update is to just give any other long term players that are thinking about quitting, the confidence to jump ship. Cut your losses with CG. SWGOH unfortunately feels dead. The ship is sinking and Im glad I made the decision to jump off. _________________________________________________ Long time player here. I estimate I've spent $50k+ (AU) on the game. I love Star Wars, which is what drew me to this game in 2017. I spent money to take Luke to 7 stars. I won't be doing this again as its completely pointless and borderline theft, seeing as we were not adequately informed that our investment in a 7-star Luke will not be given to us until after 90 days. What's more concerning than the boring, slap in the face, greedy recent update, are the constant bugs and the lack of communication with the player base. It truly feels like an insult that they have not responded to any concerns and have completely pay-walled new game modes. They have moved past what the essence of a game is meant to be, first and foremost. FUN. Capital Games is in control of one of the (if not THE) biggest IP's that Disney owns, Star Wars, for the Mobile Gaming platform. Not only has the recent mishandling of their 10 year update left a sour taste in the mouths of all players with Capital Games, but it's also effected how I and others feel about Star Wars as a whole. While there hasn't been any recent Star Wars content through Disney, SWGOH is arguably the biggest product that gives Star Wars fans their Star Wars fix. If I were Disney, I would be taking a huge look into this misuse of their IP, because right now, Capital Games are the joke of their industry. I urge all players....STOP SPENDING MONEY. Frankly, the people at Capital Games do not deserve your money. They have just proved time and time again, they are an amateur gaming development company and should not be in control of producing Star Wars content on the Mobile Gaming platform. This has been completely unacceptable, especially for those long-term players who have invested such a significant amount of money into the game. Enough is Enough.
Unable to enter into the game - restart required
The TW is ongoing. At the end of the match you need to restart the game. Many attempts have been made but the victories have not been counted. And when you try to restart, the screen remains black. The problem is common among all the players in the guild.
Your update caused LAG
Dear Capital Games, your update has caused severe lag in essentially all game modes: Squad Arena, Fleet, Territory war. One can assume GAC will experience lag as well, so not only do we have to deal with relic delta, we now also have to deal with serve game lag. The lag is making the game almost unbearable and not enjoyable it has costed me personally matches I should of won in territory war, and I suspect it will cost me in GAC I am certain am not the only player to experience this, I think that CG should compensate it’s players for these technical issues.The Era mode is the death of swgoh
As a HEAVY spender, I say this unapologetically. The facts are crystal clear. SWGOH is no longer enjoyable. FTP = no win/no fun. Pay = no win/no fun. This game has become a complete money grab. With all the new currencies, hard caps on leveling, gated progress throughout the whole experience in Coliseum and character advancement. Plus, removing the ONE sandbox element we had in the galactic challenges that allowed us to test teams, etc., and replacing it with an insulting "Era Challenge", was the final nail in the coffin. To make it even worse, the rewards for these new "Era Challenges" are a complete f'ng joke. 1600 era currency for completing the last tier? Give me a break. What an insult... 400 crystals gets one 11k minimum from the store. Tossing scraps as an attempt keep the peasants happy while you steal their cows and **bleep** their bank accounts is the reality. You took a game that we all enjoyed, and bent us ALL over. Thank you for the extreme eye opener. We all see what is important to you. It's glaringly evident that it's not your customers or the fans of the IP that you are so lucky to be working on. You should be ashamed of your actions and attempts at shoving this usury down the throats of people worldwide.
Go back to the drawing board CG
This is not a good day for Galaxy of Heroes. The Order 66 raid is probably one of the most insulting updates we have received. Rushing to implement lore inaccurate unit requirements to drive up profits with marquee characters will do significant damage to the player base. Sure a handful of diehard players who spend money on the new units will play due to buyers remorse and the sunk cost fallacy but it’s not worth it to disenfranchise the casual players who spend money and completely ruin the appeal for free to player players. I am in no way convinced this is good for the future of the game. Players who wanted to relive one of their favorite moments of the franchise have now been robbed of the opportunity. The raid should’ve been completely different. It should’ve been something like pick an Anakin and some clones and get different score modifiers depending on the units you used. Jedi Knight Anakin with any clones would be 0 multiplier. General Skywalker with 501st would be 1.5x/2x score modifier. Lord Vader with dark side clones would be 3x/4x score modifier. There could’ve also been a way to implement the raid so you either play as Vader raiding the temple or play as Jedi staving off his attack. We didn’t get that however. We received a roster of units that make no sense. We have Qui-Gon being eligible despite the fact that he was dust in the wind on Naboo. We have pirates who were never involved in raiding the temple from complete separate time periods far away from Coruscant. We have the bad batch units who were running from the Empire for years after order 66. This update is a disaster. It should not have been released. So little forethought went into this or it was done deliberately to **bleep** interest in the player base. Please go back to the drawing board and correct these mistakes CG.
GC is now obnoxious to play
this latest update is so bad that I just can’t find much pleasure in playing anymore. It took me a while to figure out why my Jabba squad did not get any rewards for dropping level 9…….. because I did not PURCHASE a pass to collect my loot!?! WTH is this! I have been pretty faithful since game release, and if memory serves, it was right around this time of year. This game has evolved so dramatically to the point where you have to spend. I did in fact spend, not as much as some. This latest move though, to rope us into your store and force us to pay more, that has got to be the biggest **bleep** move this group has done since release, so it’s appropriate for me to say farewell at this full cycle of the anniversary of release. This game has evolved beyond me.Territory Battle review period
It's really annoying that I (a guild leader) can not review TB stats after p6. Unless I happen to be on right before p6 closes, I don't know which guild members finished cms and deployed. A few times I have been surprised when our guild didn't meet a goal, and it'd be nice to know why. There is a 24 hour review period after TW. It would be helpful to have this for TB as well.
