The last 5-6 month seemingly have constant tension between the player base and the devs.
We’ve had the panic farm for Rey x2
We’ve had the Expose nerf
We’ve had the ‘typo’ scandal for crystals over Christmas
We’ve had the poor pop-up bonus promotion fiasco
We’ve had the attacks from Devs on players
And now we’ve got another gear gate, where a large percentage of higher level players feel lied to.
My question is how are these changes good for the ‘health’ of the game. We see the devs throw that out there a lot.
Unhappy players shouldn’t be good for the health of the game.
Obviously this has yet to effect the bottom line significantly (unless you think the communication burst is due to a poor first quarter), but sooner or later, **** off the community is going to kill the game, not heal it.
Would love to hear what Carrie thinks is the cause of the constant drama her team has created for the last 6 months...guessing it was for the health of the game...

Dont forget about TB release and 7*HRS
+I dont understand why is it that some of the shards cost 50/pcs while others (after Feb 2017) cost 80/pcs.
And why have the quantities changed from 3pcs(6pcs) to 4pcs(8pcs,16pcs)
Not that I would bother buying them, just interesting to see so high inflation in a game...
Gotta make up the difference in the bottom line, after all money is all that matters.
people are caring way too much.
They swap mods for each battle, retry 10 times for good RNG, then complain that it "takes too long to swap mods" and that "Sith raid is too repitive". Personally, as a player who play this game as a game, i actually enjoy almost every single aspect of it, all to way to sith raid and DSTB.
Okay rant over i m gonna go hide somewhere.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with enjoying the game. I do think there are seemingly endless communication issues with CG and the ultra competitive player base isn’t happy. Don’t think it’s hurt the CG bottom line yet, but sooner or later it will in my eyes. I just see a once a month fire that CG starts and fails to put out. Seems to be their business model.
Lol
I adamantly disagree with "attack by devs on players" being an issue. There was 1 fiasco that was warranted backlash from the developers. A player coming to the forum and making that type of rant deserved to be pushed back against. A lot of us applaud that someone finally said enough is enough of that type of outlandish hyperbole.
People, in general, just don't like change. The devs are designing a game with certain progression path in-mind and setting rewards based on said progression. If they miscalculate, they do adjust. The challenge is they don't know if they miscalculate because they need data from the player base and to get an accurate sample size they need time. Time that most players don't seem willing to give them.
My biggest issue is the protection of this data. The player base deserves to know the programmatic odds for drop rates so they can make informed decisions on how they allocate resources both in-game and monetarily.
Gee, i wonder why the developers have made a fake account to
1. make over 700 comments on various issues
2. make 90 posts, half of which are character ideas that if i was a dev i would have just implemented into the game
Maybe this is why they are taking so long to fix rewards: They have to make 100s of fake accounts like me.
They re on to us!
Maybe read that before you jump on the "rewards suck" train
And besides the christmas "typo" everything else was made up by the community
There was no reason at all to cry about the short notice of rey and luke
Even now after they gave us a warning Way in advance for thrawn and his ship People find reasons to cry about
And heroic sithraids cry about a reward fix when it would have been just for a month until they exclusively get the new g12,5 pieces ( which will already be addressed)
Just way too much stupid complaining every day for no reason at all
For the most Part its the community that make up problems where no problems are
Already read the stuff about so many hard node Releases
If you farm the hardnodes you get without refreshes at least 50 shards a month (if you take the low end of 1 per day for talzin and wicket )
Thats 40 more than before when the event was running once a month
LMAO listen to yourself! If certain content wasn't so difficult then people wouldn't have to remod after each battle. If it's between not completing the content vs remoding and getting it done then everyone will pick the second option.
Don't act like mods aren't a problem in this game, this may be the worst thing I've ever heard!
I don't know if this is sarcasm or not. Perhaps I wouldn't go as far as claiming that they make fake accounts but the guy isn't wrong about attacks on player's.
I'm certain that they have systems that lower view counts and automatic bots that are designed to bury posts from people that are outspoken about certain problems with the game.
I remember one time someone couldn't see my comments on their posts, it showed him that I had replied but when he clicked the notification they wouldn't open up the comments.
I reported it to the devs and they came back to me with a "we're sorry, there was a big with our system causing your comments to not appear, we'll fix it".
I'm sure it's a bug as soon as you get caught.
I simply have found my anger at the developers are misplaced. My real anger is that I feel that if I pay to play I should dominate but that’s not how it works. Simply put I was paying to push through my impatience.
It’s not a problem with the game. It’s a problem with me and my perception of the game.
Once you realize they are not going to hangs and one constant is that they will continue to move to the endzone to keep players playing and paying, you then are stuck with the need to change your habits, quit, or change your perception.
Honestly the developers will make the game to keep people paying and keep people driving forward. They don’t care what you want beyond what revenue shows. They are here to make a check and provide for themselves and their family.
I think if people treat it as such they will be much happier
You're giving people here way too much credit.
Full items (including other g12) would be fine. Also need to up the currency to compensate a well.
If its a game that you pay a lot for, changing the mechanics after individuals pay to play is a big deal. I get it.
Classic Bait and Switch, but again my advice is don't fall for it, they will continue to do this.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
Instead, they want EA to give them easier
access to, and more to boot, of the things i had to sacrifice for. Easier way to get Zetas, No Way!!
I let my fleet slide for months, while I spent every piece of ship currency I had on Zetas!! An entire month of currency, to get 1 full zeta. The last thing I want is someone who didn't make the same sacrifices to be given easier access than I had.
Don't like how long the sith raid takes? You obviously weren't here when the aat first came out... It too my guild 2 months to finish normal!!
A year and a half later we finish heroic in an hour. Rancor in minutes.
The only thing I will agree with you on is removing challenge gear from raids... It is just Bantha poodoo that is has taken this long.
Please EA, do not lessen my accomplishments by giving newer players a faster track to get ahead...
I had two threads open and posted this on the wrong one, that being said, I think it works here as well.
But nobody, ever, is forced to either pay, or to play.
It's all personal choice.
Yeah I mean your excuses sound cool
How much have you spent so far?
