Once again they have totally missed a golden opportunity, to revitalise the game.
This would have only balanced the game, if it was available at G12... All they have done is release G14 a few months after G13. So unless you are willing to spend around $3000 all the Whales now own all Squad Arena and Fleet Arena payouts... This could be the final nail in the SWGOH coffin 😭

Iconic items arent even released yet and you're already mad at it.
Just like that guy who complained about clone reworks before they were dropped.
This has been going on for years now, it's how they make money. Wasn't the final nail then, and it won't be now - though I'm sure it'll be the final one for some players, as these shake-ups always are.
Welcome to the real world.
This coffin must looks a lot like Pinheads scalp
And the only goal for a business is to make that bread.
this is the only part of the game where whales are comparing their ****....erm.... wallets.
for the rest of the game u can play and achieve everything complete ftp.
if not, please lighten me up!
arena is the moneyarea. for everything else u need time and patience.
This guy needs a medal. Straight to the point.
Haha what? I can finish top 20 arena but I'll be danged if I can 4/4 every geo TB.
We just got geo tb recently with a LS coming soon. Also awaiting return of GAC (after an unfortunate cancellation, I'll give ya that).
Except when whales don't have to manage resources and just buy it all outright and then you have to compete with them
Why not just enjoy the game at the tier you are at instead of always looking at how others, justifiably, are ahead.
for all we know relic unlock at the beginning of the game and only at gear 13 do they get their most powerful part.
i do think that we will have access to the relic at early gear teirs just the main parts are locked until end game. because they mention this relic amplifier that we can unlock which will change our portrait from red/gold to the new lightsaber blue or lightsaber red.
granted i might be wrong but i have a small hope here
Because I want the chance to compete for 1st in everything I do. Sorry but when you're in my place in arena, and you're so close to the top 10 but can't quite make it because it's locked down by p2w players, it's hard to see things differently. I've defeated all f2p in my shard, I barely drop under 50, so the only people I battle at this level are people with g13 Malaks and people who have had those for a long time now and it's not easy to have fun when you're stuck winning 2/5 because of one debuff that didn't stick and now their superior characters come into play. And yeah I got Malak finally but what good is he when he requires so many kyros and so many GET to get to 7 stars? Not to mention with Geo TB our GET income has plummeted.
You need to up your mod game, it's all that matters at the top spots. I'm in a similar position and G13 Malak doesn't help all that much when the enemy is faster. Or use G13 GG to climb, he should be able to take out Malaks.
Bro I'm trying man, I do nothing but farm a ton of speed mods, I have yet to receive one with +20 speed secondary. You think I want to have no good mods? It's frustrating but I am literally doing everything I can and it's not happening
I know the struggle, as I said, I'm in a similar place. All I'm saying is that G13 Malak isn't the be all, end all, good mods are arguably more important. Of course, whales have an advantage in that too.
Otherwise I do 5 arena battles and 3 or 4 fleet battles, my daily sims and that is about it.
The grind has become two much. Currently focusing on Padme. Need 50 of each kryotech and also in need of 50 mk5 stun gun salvage to complete the last two gear pieces for level 10. Of those 150 gear pieces I need to farm these with my daily energy and 3 energy refreshes. Alternatively I can buy them for 700 / 25 or 650 / 25. Shard shop currency can on occasion score me some mk5 stun gun salvage, so could GET currency if I wasn't in the process of taking Malak to 7 stars.
To get those final two pieces will take a week at best. Gear 10 to 12? My guess, three weeks.
For one character to then only be gear 12 when gear 13 and now a freaking epic piece still remain? Seriously, gear 12 is the equivalent of gear 8 from one year ago. Gear 12 toons get shredded in Geo DSTB.
In the past few months I have:
7 starred Brood Alpha and taken four of the bugs to gear 12 (sun fac was already there and honestly my bugs were gear 10 or 11 for fleet).
gotten DR, Badstilla and HK to gear 13.
Unlocked Malak put two zetas on him, geared him to gear 11 with two additional pieces and got him to 40/100 with no GET currency left.
Seems like a good accomplishment until you factor in my bugs have yet to achieve Wat shards, I get maybe 30th in arena meanwhile my GG squad and GR squad are no where near viable.
How many mods do you farm and how many do you buy?
LOL.
Not even close. The health increase is only about +100%, not one thousand, but they have such freaking high defense that your characters that normally do 20k do 2k instead. Don't you play this game? Don't you notice what damage your toons are doing against the different opponents?
I'll grant the tenacity increase, but reskin? Have you played the Acklay battle yet? That is WILD. Summoning is an entirely new mechanic. Truly new things are afoot in Geo TB, and I like them. Yes, it's so hard that i can't touch p4 yet as a F2P player, but I'll get there, and there is nothing about being hard that makes something "nothing but a reskin".
I mean, heck, the way that you can't predict the final battle in any particular hard node... that's nasty. You don't get to pick the best team for a particular enemy, you just have to beat the enemy with the team you've got. Compare that to Hoth where not only is the final encounter the same on each node, multiple nodes in the same phase share the same final encounter. This is a very different kind of challenge.
In any case, Geo TB is truly different. It's not just a reskin, and even if all they did was bump up hoth and give us new desert backdrops instead of ice backdrops, massively increased difficulty is still a new challenge to try to beat.
I don't get it. Dislike the game if you dislike the game, but it's not like there's nothing new. The challenge is pushing forward a little bit every day. You can do that or ... not.
You see, I am a F2P player. I contribute nothing and pay for no game upkeep. Other F2P players like me should be food for whales. If it were the other way around, there would be no game at all.
