Side note, I'm actually a really big fan of them releasing things (the first GAC or Conquest) and stating up front "We want you guys to test this game mode out for us".
#CloneHelmets4Life...VICTORY!!!! "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." The more you tighten your grip, CG/EA, the more whales will slip through your fingers (and go F2P or quit).
And for your analogy, if you had been to McDonalds multiple times, and wanted to get fries there, only to find out that they gave you were rotten, wouldn’t you be unhappy?
It's also nice of them to dramatically ramp up the difficulty after promising not to ramp up the difficulty. A la:
McCGolds: We promise the price of french fries has not been increased at all. That would be wrong. We are putting an obstacle course between the front door and the cash register, but the price of fries has definitely not changed. .
Customer: Are you kidding? I don't like the obstacle course either, but at least you told me that would be there. The thing I'm concerned about is that you specifically said that there would be no change to the price of the fries. I'm looking at the receipt right now and it's obvious the price has been increased.
McCGolds: Yes, you see the base price has not been increased, but these fries have the previously unavailable "Overcharge IV" feature. You may, therefore, notice a difference in the amount deducted from your bank account, but this does not constitute a change in price.
Man y’all are some whiny folks ‘round these parts. Not an apologist, but they worked pretty hard to shake up Conquest to keep it interesting. And while I would love to have a game with zero issues, that’s just not how these things work. Get off your high horses and let them work through the problems.
Read their post about changing Conquest. Interesting isn't mentioned once. They literally said they didn't like how people were spending crystals and blitzing through the entire thing in 2 days, so they made all these changes to force us to play it more.
Another problem is 99% of content they release has something broken. I'm sure you've heard it before, this game has grossed a BILLION dollars. However, there are probably still Day 1 bugs in this game, and the only time anything is fixed in a timely fashion (less than a week) is when the bugs benefit the players. Stealth was broken for 2 years before they had to fix it to sell Sith Assassin packs. Unending Loyalty was broken for years until they wanted to release Executor and make it un-killable. This is just another example of terrible quality assurance in a long long list of examples (and as you can see, I obviously have some pent up feelings about it lol).
Don’t we all have some pent-up feelings about this game and CG?
I've found this whole experience to be very enlightening.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
We are aware of several issues pertaining to Conquest 7 and are investigating. We will provide more details as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
I’ll help ya out. Delete it and revert back to a half way decent mode. No one asked for this and no one wants this. Stop tripping over yourselves kids.
I posted a question the other day asking how normal mode would vary from hard.
Can't lie, while it's obviously frustrating to have to start again, I am impressed with normal mode. Battles only cost 15 creds and feats significantly different from what I've seen for hard mode (sector 1&2).
However Credit where credit is due... Unless of course these are also bugs!!
My only gripe was that razorcrest shards were 600 crystals for 5 shards. My suggestion would be that those players willing to spend 600 crystals for so little return probably already have it at max.
It's really just a matter of trust. There's really no reason to think CG are doing anything with competence.
Why should we believe them that these nerfs and having unbeatable GL tier is good for the game?
If "ignore defense" is a problem for game balance in the future.... why remove it entirely? Why not replace it with a scalable defense PENETRATION mechanic? Something that mitigates some of the imbalance, but doesn't completely change the character. Unless of course the intention IS to change the character, but not admit it.
I just cant wrap my head around the fact that Conquest has issues (yet again) and it has to be cancelled. How does this keep happening and who is getting fired for poor project management? Anyways, hope you guys get it back up and running soon, nice to have something to do....
Seriously C.G., are you and Scopely actively and purposefully competing to see who can run their game WORSE in 2021? Sure as hell seems like it. Maybe its time to take a step back from changing things in the game and do some self reflection and see what is going wrong with your team. Because this entire summer your team has been a colossal failure.
I dont even understand the logic behind the change. As someone else said, you can pound out GC in less than 5 minutes but its a 2-3 day event? So how does that make any sense.

Being horrible at testing would imply that they're actually testing stuff. But everyone knows they don't.

Either way. Trust is gone.
Go and grab the backup from 2 months ago and just launch that.
That’s still a 3 conquest unlock with everyone else but a lot of crystals spent
This one sucks so hard lol
CG didn't liked people having fun, not spending money and getting to the last crate
Nah they didn’t even do that right because gas 501st still beats rey.
Still 3 Conquests but you don't need max crate every time.
Crystals spent on energy and anything spent on consumables will be returned.
You better not be letting those who got 20 maul shards keep them. That is hugely unfair.
