Re: [MEGA] Road Ahead: July 2021
What about those who whales and spent 300 on dark trooper not too long ago. Do we get our 300 back because you took what was so appealing about him that made some spend to get him and now have significantly changed it so its not what we paid for.
Re: [MEGA] Road Ahead: July 2021
CG, I'll make you a deal. Just do already what you've been trying to do for 2 years now and take all the krakens and put them in their own shards. Their 5 GL rosters can battle it out for top 1000. Then put all roster without GLs into their own shards.
Then remove SEE from my account, put his mods in my inventory, refund me the gear and zetas and relic materials for SEE, Krennic, Royal Guard, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Sith Marauder, just leave them at 7* g1 lvl1, or you can even take back all their shards and give me a gift box with the equivalent amount of relevant energy types based on the 30% drop rate and fleet currency for Maul. Put me into the non-GL shard, where I'll have fun doing Tarkin/Vader counters to DR and Padme against GAS to fight for top spots in arena. And I'll take all my refunded resources and energy and pour them into factions I've so far neglected because I had to gear up Krennic and Royal Guard.
Deal?

Characters that were disappointing
Characters you had high hopes for, or received a lot of hype, but didn't live up to expectations, and really let you down?
I'll start:
Mace Windu
OMEGA

BAM ( who should be named Din Djarin ), Mace and Fulcrum for me.
Agree on all three especially the fact they didn't call din djarin

As (forced) investments go, I’d put Bo KaTrash up there with other rancor food like Rose.
Re: Characters that were disappointing
so many characters... i wish there was a way that we can undo all the improvements. i am even willing spend credit to do it.

Re: [MEGA] Road Ahead: July 2021
I haven't posted on the forum in years, but the changes announced in today's Road Ahead sound like the worst changes to the game that I can recall. I've quit the game twice, but I keep coming back because of my love of Star Wars and the enjoyment I get from the community.
Unintended/unforeseen consequences have typically be addressed with appropriate nerfs and buffs in a timely manner, but we've been using these characters to counter GLs for over a year. If CG didn't want Vader to curb stomp Rey, it should have been addressed it right away. Many players, including whales, depend on these characters for GAC, and I'm fearful of GAC and TW just turning into contests of who has the most GLs.
I understand that the game needs updates to the progression system and that ignoring defense doesn't scale. I also understand that this devalues tanks as the game progresses. I can accept this, but I can't accept the idea of taking a bunch of characters that have worked a certain way throughout the entire existence of GLs and deciding that now is the time to nerf them and make non-GL counters to GLs much less likely. This mentality was fine when squad arena was the only place to stress your roster, but now a deep roster with many teams and many counters is mandatory to compete in all the different game modes.
GLs are great, but they're not the only characters in the game. Vader, GAS, JKL, Wat, Thrawn and a handful of others are critical across many game modes and they exist in a tier between GLs and the rest of the characters. They're extremely important, so the fact that they're being nerfed is painful. Being from the Original Trilogy, Vader and JKL are also arguably more iconic than Lord Vader and JML, so any reduction in their abilities hurts even more.
The players need more than the invested resources to be returned. We need substantial compensation to ease the gear crunch and so we can chase after GLs and other useful characters that we could've invested in instead. Between the character needs and r9, new pathways to earn much needed gear and relic materials would've made these changes much easier to swallow and they would've been received with much more positivity.
Today should've been filled with excitement over Lord Vader, Maul, and The Executor, but seemingly horrible changes have completely overshadowed those announcements. I'm hopeful that these changes sound worse than they'll be in practice, but this is a gut punch and I feel disheartened after many months of excitement and positive feelings for swgoh.

Re: Potential CAT AI changes …
Funny how y'all keep changing definitions to avoid the problems with your own arguments
Funny how you used an absolutely absurd example to “counter” the argument. Phoenix vs SLKR…absurd.
Yes, it is possible to lose a hard or soft counter when played correctly against proper AI; there are RNG aspects involved: dodges, resists, crits or not etc.
(Note: I didn’t weigh in on this earlier because I agree with you in principle on the other aspects of the AI issue: the real discussion not this farce with Phoenix vs SLKR)

Re: [MEGA] Road Ahead: July 2021
Rather than nerfing many great characters (GAS & WAT for my roster) that players and guilds have put a lot of work towards, why don't you just give the GLs some Huge boost when there is no other GL on the other side? Since the clear goal with this is to eliminate any chance you can beat a GL without a GL, wouldn't that be the easy solution? You just have to actually admit that you want the GLs unbeatable and everybody already knows that.
