This is not what “shard shuffle” means..
Shard shuffle is when they move character shards around and change where you can farm certain character shards.
I would be pretty ticked off because I have made a special bond with my shard mates over the past 2 years.
And I do not think they should shuffle your shard just to put you into an easier shard because you took a break. That’s your fault.. you should be matched up with people who starting at the same time as you.. LOL you trying to only fight newbs??
I'd also like to note that the fast majority of the players don't even rank top100 and that arena is one of the few places ingame where total GP don't mean sith. There's a player with 3.6mil GP and a player with 1.3mil GP both in my top10. Taking a break has far bigger consequenses for other area's of the game.
Plenty of people take time of and come back. Guess what it is going to take time because you decided (it happens) to take a break for the game and guess what the game didn't stop.
Breaks for many reasons are sometimes needed from the game, but the game will go on with out you.
And now I'm a proud owner of CLS since few days. But yeah, it's easier to say that game won't let you progress.
Returning customers is crucial for business. And also, there wiuld be zero advantage for taking a break since you stay stagnant, not sure how you gathered that. Thanks for the flame tho.
been playing every day for 7months since i returned farming meta and barely top 200, if youre shard is easy doesnt make everyones shard easy. No one is crying, just discussing the topic. Not sure why people on then official forum have such a negative outlook.
what makes you think his shard is easy though?
the forum is often very negative, but you have to understand that what you're asking sounds an awefull lot like asking for an easy button. You're doing worse than your peers, so you should be placed on an easier leaderboard. Not only that, i'm glad i left the majority of my leaderboard behind me roster/mods wise. I'm not looking forward to a random guy to get dropped into my leaderboard because that guy has a better chance at being competative on my leaderboard only because he stopped playing for a while.
So yea, i can understand the negative responses to your request.
He isn't asking for an easy button, he asked to have shards divided based on number of days logged in, or a similar metric.... Which means you will always be competing against people at or around the same progress.

Actually, Dev said that they haven't done so and had no plans at that time... Not.that it was off the table or that they would.never do it.
Um yea I can read the English just fine. Let’s just say that this is a stance they’ve taken since the start of the game and now that we are going into the third year, it’s likelihood of changing is low. Thank goodness for that!
@leef i guess I couldn't portray what I was looking for to you and you seem to be drawing conclusions to why I was seeing if this was something that was going to happen. Many games that have long term development goals have ways of bringing BACK customers. SWGOH does not do that, was just trying to bring some attention to the topic. Also, I gave the examples of my old guild mates and myself because that is the experience I have and thought it would help people understand why from a player's perspective that this is something that could help.
@Huatimus thanks for the link mate
@ThePenguin77 i got him as well and have been saving gear, hopefully it pays off
I'll consider this closed since Devs haven't made any comments on the topic since I've been playing more. Appreciate those who gave informative feedback.
Cheers all
Well, if you mean something entirely different than what you're actually posting it's hard to have a discussion about any topic or subject. I only responded to what you said, not to what you might have meant.
I simply disagree that your suggestion would benefit the game as a whole, but i obviously understand that it would be rather helpfull for players in a similar situation as yourself. As for bringing back customers in a progression based game, the only place you compete with players who started around the same time you did is in arena. The other game modes are all based on GP or on the guild you chose to be in. (even fleet arena is/was based on GP at the time it got released). So yea, having to battle your way back to the top in arena, wich is relatively easy, isn't the end of the world.
@Huatimus
April 2016 hardly seems like "current" anymore
That was the point I made above...
Personally, I find that the initial shard system is fine, as people initially have 0 days played so a starting shard makes sense.
Once you are 6 months, a year, or more it seems to me that it makes more sense to rerank based on either GP or total days logged in.
Or have an inactive flag for people who don't log in for X days, which removes them from the leaderboards... And then reassign them when they come back.
People want to get ahead of those they are competing against. They spend money to get ahead of them. It would make that spending meaningless if they were then placed on what would effectively be "whale shards" with all the other people with high GP for their length of play. It's very unlikely they would do something that removes one of the incentives to spend like this.
This is precisely why they won't (and shouldn't) do it. It takes away incentive to spend - either time or money.
This game operates on a high level of "fear of falling behind". It's has been that way for 2+ years. It's not going to change.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
Actually people don't spend at the top. No need to with current arena rank system. Everyone takes turns. A shake up would make it competitive. Currently it dosent give Whales an advantage. If they shook up arenas regularly spending to get to the top would be beneficial. The biggest problem with shaking up arenas is actually starting placement. Would you randomize it? If so that would cause massive rage quitting. Other options would be a tournament style event. Not looking forward to that. We all know how that would go. Mabe arena gp or total gp. That again would cause rage quitting from light spenders. I don't know how they would possibly come up with a fair starting point I think that's the real issue.
Possibly instead you could have it that once you get a gear xii piece you graduate into the global shard.
Possibly make it optional you can stay in your current shard as rewards fall as people hit 85k and graduate to the global shard.
I agree, graduate them out and put them in tiers by total character GP.
