Dear CG,
I’ve played this game since it’s launch and never seriously thought of quitting until yesterday evening, when this new nonsense function had been introduced. I can totally understand you guys, you don’t want to hire more employees or try to find some other way to take care if cheaters- let the players do it themselves, that’s your thing. But you’re also ruining the game for most of the old players, who only find fun in GAC. I just want to know, should I delete SWGOH today or you’ll remove this “amazing” new option, that would let lazy players to just copy others and make GAC just one more boring mode?

Thats remove all fun from GAC
Now no reasons for theorycrafting, new tactics etc...and without it this game will boring
That’s ugly option
People who use swgoh.gg are usually already advanced in the terms of gameplay mechanics. Otherwise they wouldn't even research more information regarding the game. And even in that case the log only shows the latest teams that actually win or lose, meaning if the "win" required two or more teams, then only the last team will be shown there.Helpful? I seriously doubt it.
Besides, there is no information regarding stats or mods.That would require you to jump back and forth between the pages, bringing you closer to insanity than Cthulu ever could
In fact you can find much more valuable information (regarding counters) on Youtube or major SWGOH related sites.
PS: Sorry for my English (second language)
Nonsense. If you believe this game to be rocket science then ... well, no, it is not. In fact your post shows that you didn't even actually check out that battle log on swgoh so far regarding the information it offers. It is totally useless in its current form.
Why?
a) Only shows the actual winning team (even if it took you 2 or 3 tries to win, so the first team is missing)
b) There is no info regarding mods or stats
c) There is better information available on the net
d) Hell, even checking out your opponent in game and apply some logical deducing provides more info that swgoh battle logs ("Oh, no Geos in first rows? Must be logical you can find it in the last row then on defence, right?)
e) If you shuffle your setup (front/back offence/defense) a history log won't help
It doesn't even identify cheaters because of a) and missing raw data (meaning damage per round for example).
But please feel free to enlighten me on WHY it is such a bad thing to have (seriously). Because, well, your initial post lacks an actual argument and shows only your personal opinion.
Of course half of MAW dislike this new function, because it shows up just how many of them and how often they've been colluding with opponents to ensure high scores!!
Also secret teams?Haha,i knew most counters that supposedely would work before i even started the game.Sure try have secrets in the era of Information,internet nowdays.

I took 2 attempts to defeat opponent's DR in rd 2 of final GA in the last GAC.
You can see both attempts on there.
Hmm, let's put it this way then: For my own battles there are some attempts on attack missing (i know because i had two connection problems last time, loosing two full teams and they are not showing up). For you there is also something strange going on there. Check your latest battles, round 1:
The log probably needs some improvement or did you really always loose against your opponent at 0:00 seconds? Maybe they (swgoh.gg) are still working on fixing the bugs? I would assume so.
At least now they show a message regarding some bugs:
>> Note that Ship Battles and Early Ending Battles are not reporting correct Win/Loss currently.
Anyway, i still don't care about the log. In face i believe this will spice up GAC somewhat with people no longer soley relying on their beloved 0815 (not sure if that expression exists anywhere other than in Germany) setup which isn't super secret at all
How can people rely on their defense if it isn't super secret at all? And if it isn't super secret at all, why would making gac history public spice things up?
So investing a lot of time to get through all previous GACs of your enemy, figuring out their defense and teams and making a new defense setup for your side every single round is fine for you? Good, have fun! But there are others that don't have much time, that play the game for fun and not as a full time job like you or just already invest much more time than they should in other parts of the (mobile!) game - what about those? "Adapt or die"? Oh yeah, that's totally the best way to handle this!

Where did you get the impression i like digging through the data all the time? Didn't i specifically state i don't care about the battle log and consider it useless? There is no reason to get riled up over trivial information such as this. If it were raw battle data that would be different. I could think of a few ways to crawl it for useful information with simple scripts / programming (working as a Programmer/Project Manager for a software company, so i do know what i am talking about). But in this form? Useless.
However, the thing iu am trying to make clear is: Most game mechanics become common knowledge after a while and applying logic to simple game mechanics such as in Galaxy of Heroes isn't rocket science . A full time job, wife, 2 kids, dog + cat don't leave that much time for playing games (or investing as much time as i used to) anymore, so i totally agree with you. The less time people have to spend to be successfull in a game, the better (as long as there are always goals to reach - must put a carrot in front of people's mouth).
Whales, haha
0:00 is most likely a force quit or retreat, since no TM or stats are updated, it counts as 0:00
I'm going to guess the guy with 6.7 million GP running a full zeta'd GenSky in arena actually is a whale. 3rd post in the thread.

Meh. Being a mere 6M gp I'm more concerned with the implications of LSGTB than a battle log I'm only going to look at if something suspicious happens.
The implications of LSGTB being that EA is done putting significant resources toward this game. They are too lazy to create content that can be engaged with now and then create new content later once current content is beaten. They are on cruise control and as such the amount of playable content is going to slow from a trickle to a dribble. It's a bit offensive for those of us who have spent.
