Hope you are kidding CG and you will remove or replace this feat. This is such a bad move and shows that you have no respect towards your player base.
Personally i think you are not worth anymore of my few cents i have to work hard for.
So dropped 300 crystal each day so far refreshing cantina and after getting minimal drops now you tell us that we need to outright buy the new characters completely just to get the other new character to complete GAC? Guess what? No more money for CG until you stop trying to fleece us.
Just when we thought CG was turning things around, they go and ruin the forward progress they were making with crap like this. Way to continue to say screw you to the community. Do you even listen? Or do you purposely think of things to add to the game that will tick people off?
Lol! For sure it is the last option! But the only people that can change CG are the Whales, who don’t care because CG already caters to them. The only time the Whales care is when CG “Stuffs up” and does something that benefits F2P and not them.
Oh trust me, in the mid 300M range with my guild and a lot are furious, the raid didn’t kill it because sure it’s hard and eventually it’s a F2P item. This being a timed event and literally P2P made a lot of us think.
I don’t mind spending money on the game after all I understand they need to turn a profit to keep it viable to continue support it but this is just plain greedy no excuse can justify it
I've got to say adding a new premium character to the feats, where the most premium mod salvage is gated doesn't sit well with me.
The characters are only just farmable to get him, its a complete pay to win move that only a handful of players will be happy with. Everyone else will likely resent this move.
Tis the season of good will, be nice and remove it!
And who the crap thought it was a good idea to put resistance against geos?? I can’t even take a turn with relic 5+ on tier 5. It’s literally impossible unless you have GL Rey.

It’s easy without Rey. JTR, BB8, 3PO, R2, Vet Han. Geos never took a turn on T7.
They changed up the crates so that to get decent rewards you MUST full clear feats, way worse reward structure for players compared to before.
Then they require a toon just released to complete said feats. And from the datamine, this will happen for at least this and the next GC as well.
To top it off, the feats for the first time have almost a negative relation with the theme of the GC. I mean, Mando have nothing to do with Resistance. At least if there was a scoundrel theme it could make sense.
This is such an obvious cashgrab with such an intricate setup that it's almost painful.
Probably the worst is that htis comes off the back of a positive vibe.
The release structure for Mando with promised accelerated farming of required toons, low gear requirement for unlock and immediate permanent availability sounded so cool. Turns out it was a lure.
The QOL with completing all previous tiers once doing a higher tier in GC sounded really good as well, lots of time saved. And this is still a nice benefit. But the coupling with massive reward nerf if unable to complete all feats is again just another P2P structure.
Every emotion I want to express has already been conveyed, so pointless... Do you really want the community to hate you after so much good will has finally been received? #1 question that should have been asked by you're PMs is how will this be recieved, and is the potential financial outcome worth it?
Not a single PERSON is going out and farming for beskar Mando to complete the GC feats... So you literally just screwed over the vast majority of the player base for what gain? Anyone could tell you financially speaking there will be a negligible benefit to adding beskar Mando as a feat.
So thank you CG for showing us once again who you are.

That’s not how a business case works in my opinion. The question would be whether there is a risk to the expected revenue because the decision is perceived negatively.
And you gave the answer yourself. The GC feat is a boon for people who unlock Beskar Mando and to a much lesser degree an incentive for others to invest.
GC have enough data to determine the risk. Obviously it’s low. Also they don’t care about image and reputation in the way you assume. First and foremost they cater to the heavy spenders.

Like he said above.T7 was easy even with RJT. Cleared it with just this.
Wonder which brainwave thought that gate up.
I'm not sure a few extra mod pieces in GC would be incentive enough for someone to see the GC feat, go buy IG-11 and Kuill shards and then gear an entire squad + Beskar Mando. I'm sure they would have done it anyway prior to GC starting.

The problem is they catered for the big spenders at the expense of the other players. I think people would have (significantly) less problem if reward for that feat was extra. But taking away existing reward? They are risking angry people boycotting spending.
This decision they have made to include the besker mando feat just seems to show contempt for the majority of their player base. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when they were making the decision to include this feat.
Anyway I have spent alot of money on this game over the last few years but this move has **** me off so much that I will be closing my wallet to you for good! Well done CG and merry xmas to you
Thanks, CG, for saving my money. I sometimes start toying with the idea of spending a bit, but before I actually do, there is usually some move like this that convinces me to keep my wallet shut. That means less mobile gaming money and more beer money, which is good. Well, if there was a way to make a good use of the beer money these days...
Obviously, I want to start off with a big disclaimer as SWGOH is technically property of CG and Lucasfilm and Disney, so I really have no say in this and CG absolutely has the power to ignore this and shut down the game tomorrow if they wanted to. I'm also just a player in this game, and the recent issue really triggered the free-to-play spirit of the game inside of me. I also don't want to turn this into a match where CG and the players are at odds with each other, as the point of this forum is to negotiate now that the mistake has been made so both parties don't end up taking extreme actions on the other.
I think initially when Mod Tier 6 materials were released in a controlled manner in Galactic Challenge, both the player base and CG came to an agreement that the distribution was designed to level the playng field between the free-to-play community, and the crystal spenders. This was seen as a positive. However, with the release of this Galactic Challenge, specifically with a feat that requires the unlock of Mando (Beskar Armor), this agreement to this level-playing field is challenged. As you see, unless you have 30k+ crystals lying around, you would need to spend $$$ to get Kuill and IG11 to 7*, assuming you have the others at 7* already, if you want to earn the red T7 chest instead of the gold T6 chest of this GC. Secondly, this GC was supposed to offer bonuses to Resistance characters in the days leading up to the event. However, this feat offer bonuses to Scoundrel characters (specific ones, I might add), which favors only those who read the code to see thing coming up. Thirdly, apparently we are getting news that the next GC will have similar requirements.
If CG still doesn't see that this violates the level-playing field between f2p players and whales, just ask yourself, how does one get Mando (Beskar Armor) unlocked without spending $$$. The answer, unless you happen to have 30k+ crystals stored up, I don't think so. I understand, CG, that you probably look down on all those f2p players as "leeches" sucking on a project powered by "whales", but this is a game for all.
Now, let's move on. Maybe somebody in the CG dev team got too carried away working their blood, sweat, and tears on the Mando (Beskar) event and decided to "reward" those who worked hard to earn him with this exclusive access to red chest, but didn't realize that nobody in the f2p community could and would (with the current Cantina drop rate of the shards for IG11 or Kuill) be able to complete it, effectively locking all f2p players from reaching the red chest that they otherwise would have if another feat (like "Calculated Risk" feat where not losing a player) was in its place. OR, if we get no word on this issue, us players are going to assume this was intentional, and that the agreement of Galactic Challenge being a level-playing field between f2p players and whales is now violated.
Unfortunately, it may be too late for you to remove these feats (and you would have known this in far advance). IOS and Android would probably be too late to respond. But you could offer the extra reward making the difference between red T7 and the gold T6 chest for this and the next GC as well as 3 chewy shards as compensation following the update to all players affected.
Ofc, you could also choose to ignore this forum, for which Darth Vader would be most displeased.
I'm suggesting new feats:
win a match with The Mandalorian crew
complete mission inflicting 100 thermal detonators //for 5 Jawas
Defeat beasts with Mandalorian Beska Armor and Boba Fett
Inflic 25 DOT with Tuskens and Mandalorian Beskar Armor
Use 4 Galactic Legends to win (can only be grouped for this event)
Use at least 5* Armorer with Mandalorian Beskar Armor to Defeat all enemies (you can acquire her the day before GC)
Use relic 8 character to win a match
Unlock 10 chromium packs
Use $100 for purcheses
=D

Tier v geos are all over 333 speed.

This GC is missing the “Do X amount of damage from BAM” so I’m expecting that feat to be in the GAC for 25th
So that’s two weeks of not being able to get max GC rewards
Also it’s run by a company that charges people monthly for access to the content instead of relying on 0.001% of customers.
Not a single PERSON is going out and farming for beskar Mando to complete the GC feats... So you literally just screwed over the vast majority of the player base for what gain? Anyone could tell you financially speaking there will be a negligible benefit to adding beskar Mando as a feat.

Ahnaldt doesnt farm any characters like we do.
He just buy every since 7* character day one
Like he said above.T7 was easy even with RJT. Cleared it with just this.

So why gate the 99%

You don't need a GL. I undersized it with JTR, R2, C3P0 and BB8. The Geos don't get a turn.
I threw in Rey as fifth for the Full Resistance feat, but any fifth would do.
