Constructive Criticism
Here are some of the topics that have been discussed around my guild:
Patch Notes
As with other games, these should be posted prior to any update and be detailed. TRANSPARENCY for any and all proposed changes. Do not make vague updates that do not include all or even most of the changes incoming. The player base is going to look through everything in detail and will find changes big or small...just in case you guys haven't noticed. And don't forget to include any and ALL changes. Purchases are being made in the good faith that items purchased will have value going forward.
Play Testing
How is your staff testing anything that rolls out? Every major update has introduced catastrophic bugs, glitches, exploits, or game breaking features. And these are found within minutes of the update going live. On a thoroughly tested game or update, shouldn't it take longer to find out something is wrong? Which leads into...
Knee **** Reactions to Problems
For instance, whose brilliant idea was it to nuke potency gear to address the ease of TM locking the pigs and rancor? The only thing that really needed to be addressed was the ease of completing the raid and impossible GW pairings. The raid should have added a t8 where the pigs and rancor had a crazy amount of hp and tenacity or whatever. The reward, top of the chart to the bottom, could have been a complete raid item, a crap ton of credits, some Han shards. The better rewards would have had all the heavily modded guilds hitting it. The arena would have eventually sorted itself out as the whales exerted their dominance for a long time and ftp ground to catch up. As had happened when raid gear became available and so on.
You really screwed up a couple of things. One, gear should never have been touched. Two, mods should only have been equipable on L80 7* gX+ toons. The bonuses should have been a percentage like 2.5 at base and 10 at max. They would have allowed some customization without ruining the balance. People have paid real money to get the characters they have, to use them the way that they have been. You ruined Teebo, Phasma and Daka for the majority of players who will now have to chase RNG for +potency mods.
Stop creating problems so that your crappy updates can be the answer...
Listen to the community. Not everyone that posts is toxic or trolling...Mods really did have the potential to be incredible.
