Only whales can compete now

I have been a f2p from the launch and have always kept up and had a great time. I love this game through the ups and downs. I've always hovered around top 20 in arena and am top 20 for t7 raids in a top 50 guild. Before being p2p gave you a slight (very slight) edge but that's understandable. Now there is literally no chance of you don't spend disgusting amounts of money on this now POS moneygrabbing app. Its pathetic and the game is infuriating now. The developers take advantage of people who don't have the self control to realize when they are in too deep and they milk them for all they can. Good luck to any f2p still trying. This game is dead.

Im f2p and didnt notice any difference... maybe this will change tomorrow

I am a tiny dolphin and I completed it all.
Once in a while I get gift cards for housekeeping at this guys house and I use it for crystals.

Darthplagueis

Completed what? Have you tried facing anyone in GW/ Arena who have maxed mods? There is zero chance to hear them. The only competitive/worthwhile modes are gone.

The game is not dead, if you cant work out the modding system or look into then thats your issue.

You still had 4 days since the community update about mods to save your Cantina and refill with your arena rewards, if you decided against that again your issue.

There are loads of players that stockpiled their energy and actually havent spent more than what they normally do and now have the mods.

Seems reasonable right.....

whats the problem - its a 2 week MAX window for FTP to catch Whales...

its like MAYBE 5 million credits to stack an arena squad with 5* mods

its really pretty generous of EA - im serious - considering their past grinds this is a piece of cake

My Rey is worse than that, My Rey has 227 Speed and does 50k flurry crit

So many people in denial...... Its sad really... If you're trying to say any of us should have expected this level of change then you're just on the wrong side of reality. Or.... You're just a whale trying desperately to cling to the notion that your money spent is still justified. I pity you.

It was detailed in the weekly community update, It said mods will make a massive difference to the characters. To me that means I best start saving my Cantina

Not everyone can religiously check these forums for every little detail.

AGREED.Smithie is a whale who maxed out and can't handle it when others bring up some legitimate issues.

Smithie is not a whale but a super hot looking guy. It's one of the best profile pics in SWGoH.

I hope he is single

Darthplagueis

I've played since launch and have 16 7*. I've hated the complaining that is always rampant in this forum. But this latest update is game breaking. I honestly just feel sorry for the people who have spent so much money on it. All I lost is my time spent.

Holy horse poo. Whales can put only 6 mods on a toon. They can only get 5 dot mods. They can only lvl them to 15, then they have to stop. No matter how much money they wish they could flush down the toilet to the rng gods, they have to stop there. Same as f2p.

Smithie

Mods changed the game and for better or for worse, alot of my good friends quit the game because they didnt like it or the game isnt for them.

Me I have wanted to spend more time in the game but couldnt now the game is heading from a causal game to more of a RPG, lots of Reys and Ani or even Maul and Lando will have different set ups.

In games like this and when updates are announced and even more fo F2P, you have to prepare. The game will balance itself out when more mods are accessed from a new raid like 6-7*.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.. What's goin on here? What about my profile pic, show my boy some love, whoever this guy is. Oh nvm I'm jailed . Anyways! The mod system is really not working as intended and expect some changes people. Too many of the games fanbase is quitting, something will be done

EUisBetter

You people are **** if you think this update is good for the game

People that defend updates like this are the kind of people that are going to kill this game. They won't stand up to huge mistakes.

What's the mistake? I admit I was on information overload for the first 16 hours, however now that I understand it, I don't see the issue.

Everyone has access to the same mods. The only difference is a P2P player can get more right away. That's exactly what they are PAYING for.

Not sure I understand.

Two big ones as far as im concerned..

Its all linked to credits... hence why everyone has access to the same. But credits is now linked to progression..promotions and now mods

GW.... if you can complete it why do we have to face max mod teams... its sn AI

I'm not a whale and just took first in the arena.
