Re: Our Feedback to Datacrons
GAC is ridiculous wit datacron..... Remove it immediately. I think the right answer to datacron:all player ignore it, don't use this ****.
There's no way this will ever happen without literally every single YouTuber and guild leader organizing and enforcing a community boycott.
CG needs to feel it in their pocketbooks for them to actually make a change. So long as the krakens continue to try to outspend one another with these temporary unbalanced dataCONs, CG will consider this a success and GAC and TW will be ruined for everyone else.
Thanks I hate it.
Re: Banned - Reported myself
Funny but it wasn't for you. I have 2 accounts and it are on your server. One is still not banned.
If you think I got banned because of you, you're stupid.
I only asked for a 3 month refund from Google, I received it and CG didn't like it

Same chart from him on 3/30Finally chart from sigsig on 1/24]
I’m assuming they just passed off who shared the data. But the trend seems pretty clear going from 342.353 in January to 332,405 in the end of March, to the 325k end of last 5v5 to the 322,919. This is a drop of nearly 20k accounts or 5.7 percent fewer accounts signed up in a span of 5 months. I have no idea if the data is accurate nor whether this rises to the level of worrisome. So interpret the information from swgoh events as you will.
This is good to know. It also shows even with all the systems in place the distributions withing leagues is nowhere near fixed either. Kyber 1 is getting crunched out.

Re: Why is Grand Arena matchmaking so terrible?
Lots of krakens never “lose” in GAC anymore.
They take a full week off and drop like a rock.
The next week they slaughter younglings with 3mil less GP.
Rinse and repeat.
Skill based matchmaking should still have a GP component.

CAT needs more farming locations
The year is 2017. Wicket and Mother Talzin had just been released. CG revealed that they would only be available through special events... Which would mean 3 years of farming to get those characters at 7 stars. Naturally, everyone was outraged, and Wicket and Talzin were also placed into Hard Nodes.
So why, 5 years on, do we have the same situation with CAT? Why have we regressed back in time, without any other solution?? By comparison Razor Crest has THREE farming locations (event, Conquest store, fleet store). While she is a powerful and hard to reach character, she desperately needs to be available in more locations; that's even if you can unlock her, with the 4million GP requirement many lower players won't even have access to her, and it makes me very worried for future releases of Boba, Maul, Interceptor, Malgus, and whatever new Conquest character comes out.
Conquest Characters need to have multiple farm locations. It's ridiculous to have to only have one, limited time farm location

Re: Datacrons- objectively terrible
The only way you can get to the same amount in total is if you spend more
Quote truncated for brevity, and because
spend more
I wish I didn't care ... but I do
Dear CG,
It's been a while since I've written. Probably 5 or 6 years. I gave up on communicating. The lack of response was deafening. Simultaneously, I've largely enjoyed the game. Most of what you've done has been good enough. Sure, there have been bumps along the road but for the most part when people were upset I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I don't know what goes into making a game like this and I can't see the big picture. It generally worked out.
I'm writing now because a few weeks into datacrons I'm not sure I feel that way anymore.
So, I've got some stuff to get off my chest. I know that it's unlikely anyone on your end is reading, responding or to be frank, caring. It's easy to write that off in terms of sheer volume. How could you respond to all the messages that people write.
But let's be honest, if you wanted to you, you could. The dynamics of parent-child remain. The lack of transparency in spite of numerous messages indicating transparency is telling. For example, with the leak around datacrons you could have said this was a data leak and yes more is coming and you'll be in touch soon. Instead, you hid behind a comment about development and that there is a lot of testing. Then they came out a few months later.
Mostly, of course the players are to blame. We enable you to continue on like this. We spend money while we complain. Certainly, I've been guilty of this. Maybe I'll continue to be, who knows. But that's a tangent, my focus is datacrons.
While people probably smarter than me have assured me that they will make for a more interesting game and maintain the same balance, so far, my experience has been that they essentially have created the ultimate pay to win situation. What they seem to have done is erase years of careful modding, including farming, working on layouts and ideal teams to maximize the toons you have created.
Now, we wind up with bonuses on certain toons that negate counters that have been devotedly and painstakingly honed. We have large stat bonuses that can swing battles. Teams that were once reliable are no longer sure things. You'll say that there are datacrons that will counter the counters and that may be true.
But you're asking us to invest in these counters and figure them out knowing that they expire in a period of time. Moreover, there is no acknowledgement or appreciate of the work we had already put into the game. So yes, you can shift the meta reliably now but I don't think that is really what the players wanted. Maybe a more diverse meta (remember that time you talked about rock paper scissor - it seems now more like we have a random chaotic landslide of things) but not this.
So, in essence you want us to invest considerable time (it's interesting that datacrons are usable in arena but omicrons are not) and also money (I'm looking forward to the packs that will soon drop) into a system that is meant to change.
In some ways, I admire the brilliance of the datacrons. They are a series of blackholes that are meant to get us to give more money. It's the ultimate in exploitation. Sure, there will be some who say that the theory crafting is worth it. I believe it. For them it will be. But I think there is also a considerable player base who might agree with me that this is not wanted and creates a situation where the time and money that you are asking us to put into the game not only negates the time and money we have put into the game but is simply not worth it.
On your end, you'll say this is the long wished for fruition of the initial mods (I was playing at the time for that btw - it was as hysterical a mess as it was reported to be) but it's your wish and not mine. I wanted content, or something other than GAC, GC, TW or TB.
I'll continue to play and support the game - I've invested a lot of time and money. Moreover, there is a community of players I enjoy relating too. You've also in my mind earned the benefit of the doubt. But what you've earned has now been spent on datacrons. So, it's a new world and a new relationship.

Oh there is a laundry list but I’ll try and be as to the point as possible.
Accountable for the promised gear changes they made almost a year ago in the State of the Gearlaxy address in September of 2021. Why has the rest not rolled out? Why are reps saying it’s done and the rest of the promised changes are out? Why ZERO communication on it?
Accountable for their lack of quality testing their game. Why are there constant bugs coming with every event and update? Why no follow ups? No compensation at all?
Accountable for a complete lack of any future information on these RA’s and SoTG? Everything announced in them lately has already been previously announced or known about for quite some time prior to those posts. Are they unaware what future or “road ahead”means?
Accountable for their blatant disregard to player feedback. Players have been literally begging for fixes, QoL updates, UI updates to dozens of issues. Players were adamant about DataCons yet CG plugged away and still put them in, making the most **** decision to include GL’s with these bonuses, furthering the top end players and spenders away from the rest of the player base
Should I continue?
Re: Road work ahead? I sure hope it does…
What I find really sad is that especially as a newer player, you can see that CG/ the devs put a lot more love into the game in the past.
If there are some new events, they are just the generic background, often with no dialogue or anything.
I recently started the journey for JKL and that was made so lovely, all the story elements of the movies and the fights aswell.
The newer things all just seem slapped together.
