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.Game-breaking stutter and lag in fleet missions
Every action by any ship causes lag and stutter. It took over 4 minutes to get to the 2nd reinforcement slot on a standard Levi v Levi battle, and it lagged for 12 seconds trying to bring out the MK 2 interceptor. A fleet battle is basically unwinnable for me at the moment as I cannot get through the battle with every move of every ship causing lag. I've confirmed with at least two other guildies that they've had the same problem, and neither restarting the game, nor uninstalling and reinstalling is helping. please fix this fast, this has already cost me the best part of 400 crystals in my fleet climb today and will cause me to lose more every day. My ally code is 188361625The 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.
Relic Delta "Response" Feedback
CG, No. Full stop, just no. I watched Ahnald and the feedback/response you gave to influencers to share with their communities. This is NOT what we wanted. Again, I will reiterate until I am blue in the face if I have to. SCRAP IT. Full stop. I'm sorry you are going to lose the money and time you put into something nobody wants, but that's the thing NOBODY WANTS THIS. The adjustments you made still stomp on the idea of strategy in this game. Again, ANY VERSION, of Relic Delta, HURTS the health of the game, period. I promise you, you will LOSE MORE by implementing this rather than scrapping it. However, what saddens me is that you truly are tone deaf. I can already tell that this WILL be implemented and you just decided to tell us so we could get all of our frustrations out now. I fear that you don't actually care about the feedback we are providing you and instead giving us the illusion we have a choice. You said in your statement that you knew this would be received poorly; so WHY? So why implement it, why even start the process of making it? It doesn't make sense. Other than money. Here is the thing though, I promise you, you would make infinitely more money from giving us what we actually want. Rather than forcing Relic Delta on us and expecting us to just fork over money to increase our relics so we don't have to strategize anymore. This is just sad, I'm watching a community I have been apart of be torn apart from within, because you want to implement something regardless of how it affects players. Myself and plenty others have given you so many alternatives and voiced our concerns like you asked us to by providing feedback. Please don't make us feel like we are screaming into the void. This will make SWGOH take a HUGE hit. Learn from Marvel Strike Force, scrap it. Please. Thanks.Relic Delta Feedback Again
I am too tired to write a long discussion today. I think this is a good sum up of CG about Relic Delta. "Our stance is that counters should completely lose at RD4." At least you are honest CG, you don't want us punching up. You don't want to reward the strategic spenders and Relic appliers. No, you want bigger wallet=bigger number= win. You want to rip strategy apart for a few extra dollars. I am just so disheartened. Anyway, 0 money will be spent on this game moving forward. I've given my extensive thoughts on this in previous discussions, I don't feel like repeating them, overall this just sucks, you went into this with the idea "we are doing this no matter what", our feedback never REALLY mattered. Shame on you CG.PSA: Refunds
I have been playing for 10 years now. The latest update was a direct message from CG that I am not the player they want as a customer. I have made the easy decision to stop playing the game. I requested a refund for the past year from Apple. I was refunded every purchase for the last 6 months. This is why it is important to never make purchases through the webstore. EA has the worlds worst customer service and they will never give any refunds. If you plan on quitting, make sure to contact IOS store or Google Play store and get a lot of money back on your way out.Done with SWGOH
First, thank you to those you work hard and have good ideas that are never introduced into the game and instead we get whatever this BS is. Your entire update is a cash grab and pay to win only. Nothing is F2P or new player friendly. Coliseum. It is boring and is a whaler/spend to play/ cashgrab mode only. If you dont spend money you dont get high enough on leaderboards to get any amount of a useful reward. Plus whose idea was it that at a certain point you can only do 1 damage? Also you dont let us mix and match the team, you force us to use certain characters. The new characters. First its takes 3 months to fully get them, how does that make us equal. 2nd - $300 doesnt even get you a full character. it gets you only 6 stars and gear xIII. You cant even use these characters at that level because of relic delta. you once said this was going to be f2p & new player friendly, i guess we must have different definitions of this. You said this would put everyone on a even playing field. It clearly wont and on top of that it still still too long, and honestly seems even longer to get characters, let alone it costing way more too. Grand Arena. Matchmaking is still broken. Game lags and times you out almost every battle. Its NOT FUN. This gamemode kept many around and now will keep many people quitting your game. There is also no more strategy in this gamemode. Relic Delta. Yall should be ashamed. You didnt need this. Everyone told you not to do this. GA is not fun anymore, there is no strategy. TW, TB are going to be awful. Conquest, yeah cool u lowered the relic levels but still going to be awful. All this based on ONE ROUND of GA. Teams that were easily beaten now run through everyone like its nothing because of a relic level difference. Also that change you made that we can get relics on non 7 stars, IRRELEVANT now, so pointless work put into it that you killed your own GREAT IDEA. This is not right CG. There is zero point to have this in your game. Relic Lvls. First Relic 10 is EXTREMELY expensive even for whales. Second - you did nothing to make it easier to go from Relic 1 to Relic 7. Sure it might be slightly easier from R7-R9 but you havent done anything significant about the bottlenecks still. If you wanted to make it easier, maybe eliminate the gear scrapping need in relics (so all the components needed) and just keep it to Relic Mats only? This is every player friendly. Journey Guide. I hate to say it but clearly yall dont test your game fully. You CANT complete any journey guide that has loaned characters because of your relic delta. Which means players cant progress their teams and accounts. which in turn makes the game STALE and NOT FUN. Example: Starkiller event. Journey Quests. This is a good idea on the surface. I like them alot. HOWEVER, some of the requirements to unlock them, are NOT new player friendly as you previously stated they would be. Example: Full Rebel team. Example: Inflict Vulnerability. Some minor tweaks to that and this would be outstanding. Galatic Challenges. Should have NEVER be removed or replaced. They werent the nest but they were way better than what we have now. Raids. Extremely boring. Not enough rewards given all the new changes even before this update. Store Changes. I like the Relic material being cheaper, HOWEVER, i think you should delete that component material and make relics be mats ONLY. Plus because you made it cheaper, its now a issue of we dont have enough rewards for everything. That gear of the lower currency is very useful to new players and now your putting them and F2P in a bad spot to chose or SPEND MONEY. Again forcing pay to play. Currency. Way to much. There is over 17 different currencies in the game. This is insane and not needed. Plus half the currencies in the game barely get you anything worth while. You could easily combine say Cantina Currency & the silver brick currency into one currency & reward section. I appreciate the countless work you guys did to put this update together but this just isnt it. Thousands of people are leaving by the day based on posts and comments from all sources. The game is still stale. The characters are very underwhelming. The ability to be a F2P or New player is near impossible now (which shouldnt have been the goal). The whales even think this entire update isnt good. There is no more strategy. But worst of all, there is NO MORE FUN. Just who cane get those 3 wacky numbers on the back of grandmothers credit card inserted quickest. If you want to keep the game alive and keep the fan base here so you can keep studio lights on, I highly suggest listening to the community and make sweeping changes asap or you might lose the ability to save the game.How to fix Mace Windu/Endurance loop bug without waiting for EA Support
