    We definitely need a fix with the reward payout or something to make this raid actually worth doing....my 80mil gp guild pretty much is just letting it sit. No one wants to take the time to play this when we get junk rewards. Unless I’m getting traya shards I’m not gonna spend time playing through this slog.

    I have several problems with this line of reasoning:

    1. This shows a remarkable lack of foresight on CG's part. If this was "always going to happen", then why not simply make the change with the launch of the Sith raid? Then it's simply the design of the raid and at least I for one would just say, well, it's a bummer but I'll just need an alternative to JTR in this one.
    2. The way that you are going about this just isn't very imaginative. If you're concerned about the viability of other teams, it just isn't the case that directly nerfing Jedi Rey across all raids is the only alternative.
    Option 1: Boost faction abilities more in particular phases to give other factions an edge
    Option 2: Give factions handicaps in certain phases. Make a particular stage immune/take less damage to expose
    Option 3: You already have a raid boss turn limit. Give the boss a damage limit at which point they become enraged, thus making it such that soloing the raid with one team is impossible if that's your desired mechanic
    Option 4: Have a guild-wide counter on the number of teams of any particular faction used, then require more factions to complete the raid

    Personally I'd most prefer interesting combinations of the above 4 options.

    I'm good with limiting the dominance of a particular faction, but what you're currently talking about seems incredibly hamfisted and driven more by an economic desire to hold off progress than a well-conceived "plan" for the game as you purport. It's easy to rush out this "fix" whereas the above 4 options would take more time to test, develop and conceive. So you're smacking JTR down as opposed to giving us thoughtful, quality mechanics that demand more from the playerbase. Color me disappointed and unimpressed.
  • i think its a typical cash grab B)
  • Yet another reason that this proposed nerf is awful: A guildmate recognized (like many have) that exposes are the real damage dealer, even at T5. So he ran jyn, hera, mace, luminara, and cassian in P1 for about 1.4 mil. This is creative. This is theory crafting to deal with raid mechanics and bonuses, and this is what should make the game fun. CG nerfs exposes, they nerf this ragtag, not OP comp. As McMole said in his video, JTR comps are dominant because CG already nerfed nearly other comp through immunities and OP boss tenacity.

    I was, and am, VERY salty about the Sith raid. Then my guildmate showed creativity and I thought, maybe I’m too cynical and should keep trying comps. Then I remembered that CG is nerfing my guildmate’s creativity in a few days. Back to being salty I guess.

    @CG_RyDiggs. You state that the nerf to expose was always going to happen and you chose now to implement this change. Why now? Why not in the beginning? Hmmm. Curious. Seems to me money probably had a role it that choice. Make enough money off people getting RJT squads and once that quota was met then change her mechanics. Very cheap tactic and a good way to loose your "beloved" player base. You guys do realize that expose isnt only used by resistance right? So in effect you're nerfing several factions. Still very disgusted by this "needed" move. Btw, the STR is a complete failure across the board. Long, boring, absolutely no fun at all and definately not with the time spent defeating it. Dropped the ball on this one big time. One would think your goal would be to bring fun and excitement to the game. Not anger and frustration leading to many "beloved" members walking out the door. When the numbers of people actually participating in this disaster cross your desk maybe then you'll see that we have spoken. You guys are quickly loosing the interest of the player base in this game. Raids/events should be challenging I agree. But, this is just pure insanity. Nobody enjoys not picking a raid for minimal damage for over a week. It's not fun, and, actually not even challenging. There is no motivation behind this raid. It's very humdrum and la de da. Has to be one of the worst things ever added to gameplay. On top of that, you add this disaster behind a very disappointing QoL update. Seems you guys are starting to hit rock bottom. You say you watch and listen to us. Prove it. Give the community something they actually ask for. You give us nothing, but, political mumbo jumbo. Answers can't even be answered without being redirected to a point you want to make. The transparency you guys have is pathetic at best. When people ask questions, they would like an answer that actually hits that question directly. Good advice is you all should probably do something to put out this raging inferno you've created before it burns the whole building down.

    @CG_RyDiggs, I am telling you from a player perspective what I am seeing is T4 and T5 lvls of the raid. According to your own info posted for the raid is for lvl 70 star 4 characters. I don't see how that would even be possible for a guild with only that lvl of characters in inventory when a guild with lvl 85 and G11 and g12 star 7 characters is struggling to down a T4 in a reasonable amount of time. The difficulty doesn't seem to be scaling right.

    This is my experience too. My teams that clearly exceed the tier 4 minimum requirements (g11, 7*, lvl 85 w/arena mods) struggle to get 1-2 million damage. If you only used toons that hit that minimum requirements I can't imagine it would take less than a month. That's just terrible balance if 2 million damage in a tier meant for 4*, g8, lvl 70 toons is a struggle for top tier toons.
  • So is there any chance of them not doing all this?
    I kinda understand the Stormtrooper Han nerf but even that we found a way trough skills that they created and we have to pay for it?
    I know you probably didnt expect people to find something this powerfull so soon but taking it away is not the answer.
    So as a member of this community I want to ask you please dont roll out these changes.
    Thank you.

    Yes I did. People got RJT for haat and the PvP meta. Only now they decide to nerf expose, even though they claim to have known it was going to happen for months. Do you even have a clue as to how much money could've been dropped. Ok let's see, it took 1 day to have 3 7* g12 sions in my PvP. In a week there are 15. So 15 7* at about $300 each is $4500 in one shard. Do the math. Its a massive amount of money worldwide. So yeah it's about the money irreguardless if a Sith raid was known to exist or not. At the time people were getting RJT to be able to smash HAAT. Now she's the only good squad available for the STR. Would've been better to nerf expose from the start. Not months later. I'm going to assume you don't have RJT, due to your apparent support of this nerf. Which, if you do not have her, why add your 2 cents?

    All dev interviews about JTR, PRIOR TO RELEASE, boasted her amazing ability to out-perform all other previous characters in raids. "It is where she will excell" was the basic gist of EVERY interview.

    They're all still out on youtube.

    As for the money... newp. Not "in the past 2 weeks". Try... "in the next 8 months". This nerf was to create a void they WILL fill with new characters that will cost $$$.
  • Hi, just want to ad my 2 cents.

    I'm a whale, I spend money in this game and I am one of the reasons this game is still in existance.
    I have played computergames since I was a little kid in the 70's and if there is one thing I have learned it is this:

    If you are a developer the one thing you should never ever do if you can avoid it, is to nerf things.
    Fix bugs, sure. Fix gamebreaking exploits sure. The St Han in the sith raid is such an example.

    People have spent a lot of time and effort (ftp players) and many have spent a lot of $$ to get their chars where they are.
    If you nerf such chars, all you will accomplish is to enrage your player base.
    Enrage your playerbase enough and they quit playing.

    If you nerf chars you need to pay to get early, then why on earth should your customers invest in them if you f'em up shortly after, and render them useless?
    Some chars cost 300$$ + to Level to 7 star.
    In any other business you would have been sued for doing this.
    It's like selling a Mercedes S class to a customer and after delivery 4 weeks later, say what you realy bought was a VW Beetle, take the Mercedes back and leave without compensating the customer.

    The only thing wrong with the New sith raid is not that JTR teams are good.
    It's the fact that the design of the bosses make any other team suck,
    Tenacity is so high that nothing "sticks".

    There is nothing wrong with expose and JTR. She does not need to be nerfed, she is fun to play and you feel like she is making an impact. As she should as a top char in the game. A top JTR Team with gir 12 members should work amazing.
    The problem is that the other top g12 teams hardly make a dent in the bosses in the sith raid.

    You want to fix the raid and make your players happy?
    1: Buff other teams to make them viable.
    2: Or nerf the raid bosses to make other teams viable.
    3: A combo of 1 and 2.
    That is a win win solution.

    It amazes me that devs still haven't learned this when desiging or redesiging their games.
    If something People have worked hard to get end up working better than intended and outshine the other options don't nerf it.
    Just make the other stuff work almost as good or as good.
    Then tweak the bosses accordingly to compensate for a higher number of viable teams availiable to the players if needed.

    That way you will keep players happy.
    That way you will keep players buying New chars.

    I am a whale, I bougth Sion and took him to 7 stars and G12.
    A week later you nerf him in the New raid.

    Why should I trust you with my money?
    Why should any of us that spend money in this game and keep it alive trust you with our money?

    I was planing to keep spending money on this game because I can afford to do so and I find it fun.
    As It is now you have lost my trust.
    I know I am not the only one....

    Im going to suggest a very simple suggestion instead of all of this:

    If you change expose you change the balance in the WHOLE GAME which can cause a myriad of unintented balance issues.

    2 simple options: Just make these raid bosses immune to expose OR make them like Kylo Ren and take "reduced damage from percentage health effects." Add it as an ability under "Fearsome Foe IV" or something similar so you can give it to select bosses.

    Simple solution. Fixes the problem in raids and doesnt break balance in the rest of the game. Which, I would suggest, is the best its ever been.

    @CG_RyDiggs these are perfect examples of actionable feedback to improve the general player experience across the board. Solutions oriented feedback is value added, and at least gives you some concrete templates to discuss and refine algorithmically.

    I'm also curious if you could elucidate on the reasons behind the disparate responses to player complaints over the difficulty of DSTB and the STR. It appears that you quickly responded to player dissatisfaction concerning difficulty by retuning the DSTB by the time the second one came around irrespective of the rosters. One of the common complaints here is that the lower tiers of the STR are too difficult.

    Here is an actionable solution that is inline with the spirit of other end game content you have previously released (like the DSTB). Simply adjust the lower tiers. Leave the Heroic as an appropriately demanding challenge, but ease up on T 4-6. You adjusted the DSTB difficulty without making the higher phases/slices a cake walk, and did not reduce the star requirement for mastery.

    My Guild is 73 million. We should be able to enjoy Tier 5 instead of going through the motions on lower tiers due to the lack of any incentive. I consider game design an artform. Does an artist want their work to be considered such a mundane chore that it is so readily dismissed as not worth the effort? Isn't one spirit of game design about offering accessible experiences?

    Um, you seem to misunderstand a few things here.

    First, raid bosses already take reduced damage from percentage health effects. If they didn't, five exposes would end every phase of every raid, since exposes are normally 20% of the target's maximum health. I'm not sure what the specific number is, but on raid bosses expose does a mere fraction of a percent already.

    Second, they aren't changing the balance of the whole game here, they openly said they're decreasing the effect of expose on raid bosses specifically - and have waffled on whether it's all raids or just the Sith raid.

    That said, still plenty of reason to be annoyed here, since exposes are already dealing a perfectly reasonable amount of damage in raids and the problem is that Rey is the only team doing as well as she is, not that she's doing too well and somehow "stifling other teams" as a result. But what you seem to think is going on simply isn't.

But what you seem to think is going on simply isn't.

    Then reduce the damage to raid bosses even more or even easier just make them immune in some phases. Its clear they want the raid to take a long time and make many teams useful. JTR teams will still be super useful in other parts of the game. In the sith raid they would be brought back near the rest of the pack. There is nothing that says even a pay for team has to be the best in all parts of the game.

    In Tank phase 2 and 4 all teams that rely on TMR or Daze or Stun, etc are nerfed because of immunity. Sith phase 1 punishes counter and assist teams. This would be no different by nerfing expose in certain areas.

    And I cant find it now but I swear I saw a later post that said they were going to rebalance expose throughout the game, and not just in raids. Maybe I am remembering it wrong though.

    EDIT: And if I completely misunderstood it and they are just nerfing expose in raids then I dont get all the fuss. Thats not to say that I agree with how tenacity works in this raid or the Nihlus hp pool, but having a certain mechanic nerfed in parts of a raid doesnt seem bad to me. Just read the fearsome foe immunity list. This has already been something they have done with some mechanics for a long time.

    The former is clear, the latter isn't at all. The changes they're looking to do here won't make more teams useful, because the things that are keeping non-Rey teams down aren't changing at all. They'll just make the raid that much more of a slog because the one team doing well will do less.

    @CG_RyDiggs, I am telling you from a player perspective what I am seeing is T4 and T5 lvls of the raid. According to your own info posted for the raid is for lvl 70 star 4 characters. I don't see how that would even be possible for a guild with only that lvl of characters in inventory when a guild with lvl 85 and G11 and g12 star 7 characters is struggling to down a T4 in a reasonable amount of time. The difficulty doesn't seem to be scaling right.

    This is my experience too. My teams that clearly exceed the tier 4 minimum requirements (g11, 7*, lvl 85 w/arena mods) struggle to get 1-2 million damage. If you only used toons that hit that minimum requirements I can't imagine it would take less than a month. That's just terrible balance if 2 million damage in a tier meant for 4*, g8, lvl 70 toons is a struggle for top tier toons.

    We were having the same discussion in our guild. It took us 4 days to clear T4 and we can clear HAAT in a few hours. We are currently trying T5 and are stalled out halfway through P1; it is laughable and a joke.

    Its clear they want the raid to take a long time and make many teams useful.

    I agree the HP pool thing is kind of silly. But I dont fault them wanting to make it more difficult and take more time.

    But other teams are useful now. Bounty Hunters. Jawas. Droid teams (I hear). Phoenix has a place in P2. Magmatrooper. Tenacity in general, which is normally a laughingstock. I havent tested GMYoda yet but I think him leading a jedi team might be useful.

    Personally I like it for variety and its good for their pocketbook. Make us farm and gear more toons. There is a reason for me to gear my Bounty Hunters now. But I agree the raw HP pool needs to be toned down. Phase 1 feels like a chore.

    You know just struck me as kind of hilarious between this thread and the one in General...

    All the "this is a game about resource management" and the "this game is a marathon not a sprint" comments are nowhere to be found. I'm not seeing that old snarky remark being posted.

    How's your resource management going? Not happy with the changes? Hey, you'll adapt, eventually, because it's a marathon.

    If you find 3, 4, or 5 months of work going down the drain just chill man, because your on SWGOH time.

    Thanks God, better this, since I don't have BB8 and it seems to be the only way to get high damage on HAAT instead of having a good roster, please nerf him too.

    Confirmed, @TVF is a CG spy trying to undermine our honest and well thought out feedback.

    Yeah, I know, using logic and common sense, not to mention acting like an adult, means I must work for CG. Cool.

  • Hi!
    Will Barriss Offee's Zeta ability be affected? She was not listed originally along the other characters, but I still wonder...
    Thanks

    I wish they'd change the stacking tenacity so that it only applied to TM reduction. The current tenacity stacking makes a big part of my roster useless. It seems like TM reduction was the main issue that they were trying to solve with the stacking tenacity anyway, as that is what enables soloing of raids.

    I’m assuming the damage that triggers these effects doesn’t crit.
