Thanks for making conquest fun again
Gotta give props for conquest this time around. The devs definitely redeemed themselves this time around for conquest. The feats are alot easier to pull off and there's nothing too crazy. Max crate is definitely more achievable for your people with the average roster. There's a lot of negative feedback out there with the game right now so it's nice to be able to give some positive back to them

It shouldn't be this way but you just have to be proactive and read up on the current conquest when it starts but before you get to far into it. Learn from others mistakes. I never had an issue with ewoks, wrong mando etc. Again we shouldn't have to do this but it's nothing new that things go wrong so learn how to work around it.
Cause I played conquest and had fun with it. Yeah I experienced the ewok thing but I just avoided them. Didn't have any one of those other issues with. I guess if people have that big of an issue with conquest then they don't have to play it
I'm a bit apprehensive about exactly what disks will be available in conquest 14 though. I am pretty sure it will not be the same as what we have now, plus those crit based new disks. Some will be removed.
Conquest wont be fun ever.
Then maybe you just don’t like the game?
Or maybe i dont like nonstop recruiting because an insanely **** game mode constantly burn people out and no matter how many times people say it shouldnt overlap lstb and things like that it wont change.
You forgot that you need a ship for a bossfeat...
find someone else to recruit
It’s the need for completionism that causes people to burn out, not the events. Figure it this way—what’s the worst thing that happens if you don’t do a round of GAC? (Get your 10+ banners for participation, of course!) You miss out on some crystals, unless you would have lost, but you do something IRL instead.
Likewise, if you’re in the middle of board 4 of Conquest right now instead of complete and finishing up feats, what’s the worst thing about that? You get a character or ship in 5 months instead of 3?
So? It’s just a game. No need to treat it like a job. Arguably the only two things you SHOULD complete every time are TW and TB since those are team efforts and teamwork is a valuable character trait to exercise. But the rest? That’s individual game. Your life is more important than some game, so plan the game around your life instead of planning your life around the game.
I lost this round of GAC because I wanted to spend time with friends over zoom last night. No big deal. I’d do that again.
But, I agree, this was definitely a step in the right direction. I ended up enjoying working towards a feat that unlocked something that was needed later way more than I thought I would. (The 250 fight feat might as well say “spend 1000 crystals” and be more honest, though).
fights seemed the same to me
rng
Likewise, I saw no difference in the difficulty of the fights
The first one of a set people always think is harder than the set that completed before (the Boba ones, in this case). It's because they spent two months knowing exactly what they were doing and with a solid gameplan in terms of what teams and discs to use for optimal outcome. They don't have that familiarity yet, so these feel harder than they are.
Folks also tend to ask "Is this harder?" in the first couple days of a new Conquest because each conquest lasts 2 weeks and it takes, like, 3 days to have good discs set up, meaning they spent 11 days on relatively easy mode, and now are comparing fights with one or two discs to fights from the previous event where they had 6 or 7 and also had hella extra discs to swap around if needed.
So considering we're a few days into the first Conquest of a new set, frankly we should expect MORE "Is this harder?" The fact we aren't seems to indicate that it really is easier.
If you try to be competitive thats not how it works actually. I understand your point of skipping stuff if theres no time but on the other hand if you want to be competitive you have to red box pretty much every single conquest, which has its time requirement and in tw lets say half your guild does it your way and the other half just swallows the bad part this will make your entire strategy shift in weird ways.
All in all conquest is something almost nobody likes or wants to do, but everyone is forced to do due to character releases. All that would be solved by a few things...
- Make it overlap with dstb so the remodding thats required for lstb doesnt mess with time spent elsewhere.
- Remove every single modifier from the game mode and maybe just maybe keep it for boss and mini boss battles because its stupid.
- Increase the disk inventory size and rework that god **** disk selection UI.
- Allow us to see the stats of the enemy team or atleast their starting speeds.
- Increase the rewards because its pretty much useless at this point should be atleast 8-10 times more than it is now.
- Originally conquest stated "this will be the game mode to use your entire roster"! That part is long gone which brings the stamina issue, so either make stamina regen faster without conquest pass which is a really bad deal, or let us use our entire roster and stop forcing feats therefor limiting our possibilities on what to use.
- Communicate more and better.
This is just beating a dead horse atm, crumb and doja wont communicate anything at all as usual but all of the above could have been done and dealt with if they were doing their job.
Competitive against whom? The only phase of the game where you're directly competing is GAC, and you're matched against people at your level, meaning you're always in a competitive match up.
Tw also...and same skill matchup in gac never happens since the matchmaking is pretty much crap.
i remember thinking RC wasnt good
On the other hand, the issues are annoying, not because I couldn't work around them, but because the way they are broken or continue to be broken shows poor quality in the execution (I guess I am talking with my programmer hat on). For example, the LV mark feat. I don't need it for the max crate, so it doesn't bother me. But it is just so obvious that this was not tested, at all.
Lets see how this ages then.
It’s easier than the last one. It’s still a boring game mode. Still a boring grind. There is nothing fun in the fights. There is no challenge, just a grind. Conquest has failed as a game mode to inspire any fun, happiness or joy.
I’m sure the small few who do will now tell me I’m wrong. Search this forum, Reddit, discord and you’ll find a sea of hate for this conquest, and the conquest mode in general.
