Well stop me if im wrong but this is a game to play on your mobile phone...
Ive been playing since Dec 2015 and trust me ive been proved wrong before.. for example
Mods i thought was a terrible idea (saw what it did to great mmorpg games) and it turned out the biggest thing that almost to break this game.. with the quick fixes and modgate etc (still dont like mods and the mechanics but now essential)
Guilds i thought just it was too much for the game but tbh prob only reason im still playing now.. being an officer in a great guild and friends i have made
I just cant help but feel this game has well got to big for itself.. dont get me wrong i love it and very much addicted hence the nearly two years play time but wow lol when i look back on this time in my life a big part of it will be this game...
People scream for more content then cry its too much... they want X toon finally and should be op but when its here its the reverse.. we now have to practically farm every faction to then unlock something thats then needed for the next shiny thing which will only get out dated next release... LOL I GET IT THATS THE IDEA...
But the game i joined near the start of it all wasnt that.. games evolve.. new content should come along or people wont play anymore.. just wish it wasnt such a way where it turned out pay up asap or miss it and when you get a chance next will be irrelevant as new shiny things will be there...
To be clear this is not a rant post cause i didnt unlock someone or thing.. ive done it with most that have been released.. but i remembered why i started this game... it was star wars.. i got to fight with known (and unknown toons) i played on train to and from work whilst also surfing web.. intermittent in the day...
Now... all the train journeys... heck every toilet and smoke break.. when i get home and finish off when mrs goes bed.... guess im back to my initial subject/question.... A mobile game ?

This is the only mobile game I have on my phone.
I can't get into mobile games like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Summoner's War, etc. because I could care less about vesting entertainment time to the likes of fairy toot toot boy, one eyed goblin monster, witch girl satan, generic demon, and nameless knight with fire sword.
SWGOH and DC Legends are the only two mobile games I've played for more than a year on a consistent basis. They are both extremely casual / F2P friendly and licensed fanboy properties I like.
We wanted an easing of the gear crunch, so they emptied the fleet store and replaced it with the shard shop. I haven't seen carbanti in that shop in 4 days and yet Stun Guns show up almost half the time, Stun cuffs show maybe once every couple of days, and Carbanti have become almost a permanent fixture in crystal shipments.
We wanted an easing of the pack prices so they have went up, and they eliminated the crystal pack that many so called F2P still bought.
They listen to what they want to listen to.
Same, all of my friends play those games and I just don’t see the point to it
Sometimes I wish I would have just gone for a bike ride that day instead. But here I am, still playing this game and most of the time enjoying it.
It has kept my attention and kept my mind engaged when life just stinks.
It has also expanded my knowledge of and love for Star Wars and the extended universe. I've started reading some of the books like Zahn's original Thrawn Trilogy.
I've also made some friends with guildmates and arena shardmates.
Do I play it too much/spend too much time and money on it? Yes. But it has created a context for community and I have very much enjoyed it.
I plan to never play another game to the extent that I have this but I will enjoy the ride while it lasts.
The only thing that I DONT like about it is the fact that it IS a mobile game.
It's not on a PC. It's in my pocket. Something that does not mix well with my ADD.
Sorry about the divorce man, I hope you find love soon.
