Let's Give SWGOH Some Love
No negativity posted please. I just want to give a shout out to all the people working on this game and helping others. I have personally been playing for years and in those years we have had all sorts of content released/upgraded. We all have our personal opinions on how the game should be played but you guys make it happen!!! I just wanted to make this post bc I see a lot of threads out there being negative and I feel you guys deserve some well earned credit.

I wish I could respect your desire for no negativity, but the negativity on these forums is directly caused by CG themselves and their refusal to follow through on promises and a complete lack of communication and interaction with their player base. I won’t be too negative but the negativity they are receiving right now is well earned and then some.
You could have, actually.
I've played MSF and DSA, and seen these exact same comments from players about those devs. The fact is freemium mobile games are designed to frustrate you into spending, which inevitably creates angry players. Speaking of spending, have you bought any good accounts recently, JKelly13/Whaleathon/12thParsec? Managed to beat a Maul yet?
I would agree with you but after the SEE debacle, I’m all out of good will for CG. They are by far the worst devs for a big license in the history of gaming. Complete embarrassment.
This.
For a bit I championed MSF doing right by their players then you had issues with the dazzler and Summer of Blunder events. Days went by and seemingly no hope for a fix. But after tons of community feedback, they did the right thing, even if only halfway. They listened, gave the players the milestones and then continued on and fixed things to where the bug almost never happened.
CG? Oh our update broke the SEE event? You lost days of progress and 210 GL tickets? LOL git gud and maybe EA “Help” will give you something back. Otherwise buy our DataCons. LOL
Ever since Carrie left CG has basically said too bad so sad when they mess up. TopCash is a horrible lead for this game. If he quit or moved on since he last posted years ago, then whoever is in charge gets the same mantle as horrible lead. Idc who is calling the shots right now; they’re horrible at their job if Puzzles and Survival is doing better than SWGOH. That’s pathetic
Good luck with that on here
Candycrush?
SWGOH is definitely one of the games of all time.
You should google ‘activision+scandal’
You left out the part where they were not going to give good compensation for the bug that led too that "free character", and had already give their compensation for it that was hated by the most vocal parts of the community. Not to mention on of their CMs, whether intentionally or not, insulting the majority of the players of the game through careless comments on all platforms. The bugs and major issues in MSF make SWGOH look like a well oiled machine, and are a daily occurance for years now.
As for the purpose fo this thread, my positive comments for SWGOH is that they have made a fun game to pass the time with that has survived quite long, and has kept me at least somewhat engaged for like 5 years, which is no small feat. Of all the hero collecting mobile games of this combat style it has been the most consistently solid game imo
Are we really judging games quality on the success of their predatory monetization schemes now? Because if you actually think Puzzles and Survival is a better game because it has swindled more money out of players, i am scared to see what SWGOH would look like under your control
But you’re ignoring the most important thing that after the vocal parts of the SWGOH community have spoken out, nothing is being done. MSF is messing up with bugs and issues, yes but, there’s regular compensation being handed out. After the CC’s and community spoke out in uproar, there was something done.
How about here? SEE event was broken for 4 days and people lost tickets. Where the compensation? It’s a roll of the dice if your EA support person will compensate for the bug. How about broken events affecting everyone. Anything for the issues? Nope. Just a drawn out wait. I’ll tell you what though, any bugs helping the players are fixed almost immediately.
Or you’re just cherry picking. DataCons are beyond predatory because it’s a temp boost in power with GOTCHA RNG mechanics to boot. A game’s success, internally at least, is measured by its revenue. No I’m not saying that Puzzles and Survival is a better game. What I’m saying is if a game like that is out earning SWGOH, maybe they need to wake up and take a different tactic than forcing DataCons and broken content thinking we will just put up with it because it’s Star Wars.
Or you could just continue to be obtuse in your quest to defend CG 🤷🏻♂️
Even with all r8 toons, you can never guarantee you'll win, so there's always excitement, but even at all r3 toons your skill will give you a good chance.
It's an interesting battle with staying power, the inevitable risk makes sure it's never dull, but there are ways to plan ahead for most bad RNG, so when you're winning a lot you can take satisfaction in something you accomplished, rather than feel happy that you got one good RNG roll on your SuperPowerEnergizer gizmo that instant-wins something for you without you have to know anything about the game at all.
Three thumbs up for the KAM mission. It's literally 50% of the reason I still play.
You do know LOTR is being developed by CG, right? You'll probably have to farm half the shire just to get Fellowship Frodo.
That's the good thing about being f2p. If it's bad or if they break it like they've done with swgoh, you can just move on to the next game.
I like datacrons and do not understand the majority of the criticism. Perhaps the GL boosts are too powerful but I think they do push ‘existing’ content to be more challenging in an absence of ‘new’ content. We have already seen an economy change which make levelling up much easier for F2P and I have a good range F2P. I think some are obsessed with the notion of having the most powerful level 9 rolls but I think the strategy should be to pick what suits your roster and resource investment more. If players engage they could see some interesting aspects. They do not replace or negate previous investment but elevate them further. They provide opportunity for more flexible builds. Their temporary nature means I can expect the game to evolve without waiting for more powerful units to be released, this prevents power creep eliminating your previous efforts. The reason many do not like the latest character releases is because they do not have a power creep. With datacrons the meta will shift persistently, and perhaps boost some underused characters but I believe most powerful units such as GL’s, GAS, JKL, DR/Mal will still be useful throughout.
I understand not everyone wants the meta shifting but please do not assume all players hate datacrons. Maybe I am in a minority but the only way to be sure is let players interact during this exhibition followed by a neutral poll.
