I think that part of the problem is that this mode widens the gap between low-level players and high-level players. If you can complete a few sectors and get some of the boxes, you get a lot of gear. However, players who are barely able to complete a few nodes might get nothing.
I myself have like a single team that can took me through most of Sector 1 (my current arena team, Geos https://swgoh.gg/p/975918932/). I would like to build my Padme, Empire teams to be able to use them in this mode, but 100% of my gear is going towards this Geo team, so other than constantly improving this 1 team, I don't see myself getting better in Conquest in the near future. Maybe in a few months?
So, this mode will not help me in a great way, while the top players that are able to complete the event or get 4 - 5 boxes will get a lot of gear that I'd love to have as well. Don't get me wrong, every bit helps and this will help me, and I don't want higher-level players to get less. But I think this is the reason for the frustration some of us lower-level players are facing.
I'm a "lower level" player, and I'm completely fine with the fact that I have to work hard over the next few months or whatever to do good in this event. Because by the time Im able to do good in it most of the other people around me will start to do good as well. It all balances out.
“But you know what I always say: Speak softly and drive a big tank.”
I'll preface this with my feelings heading into it: I was SUPER excited about this game mode. I thought it was going to be fun, engaging, and interesting.
My feedback from the first few days:
1) Content is needlessly repetitive and tedious. Sector 1 had 'like' 7 Imp trooper teams from all available battles. Sector 2 had like 9 GR "reflect" teams. Modifiers stay the same on all these teams, and its like a stupid marathon version of Galactic Challenge. I don't want the same crap over and over and over and over again.
2) Energy regenerates far too slow. I should be bursting with energy trying to get me to engage in this game mode more often. CG has this completely wrong. I should be incentivized to chase the feats and such and not going, "Ughh... Im not wasting 15 energy trying for that crap". Im not wasting crystals on something that isn't fun like feat chasing.
3) There is too much going on with the feats. We've got Sector feats, Event feats, Boss battle feats. I hate going and checking all the different feats and trying to consider them. Especially when Im forced to have all of the same teams as opponents. Chasing feats, also, isn't fun at all. Its subjective, sure, maybe some people like it, but especially with the slow energy regeneration... it's tedious.
Current feelings: Like a more tedious version of Galactic War married with Galactic Challenges. 3/10

I like the game mode overall, but the feats need some work. Feats like score 50 crits in this boss battle or remove 500% TM are really annoying. So I need to figure out which of my toons can reliably crit, but aren't so overgeared the fight ends before I can get enough crits, but aren't so undergeared that I can't win the battle. eg, I'm being punished for gearing up my zombie roster to be stronger. Gearing up my toons should never make it harder to complete game content/earn rewards.
I know you dont need all the feats... but i still feel like im down to the few i vant do and the few that are largely annoying to do without said needed counter.
Think lower the amount of feats needed to get to red crate or up the number of tokens a feat grants.
Sucks to have 3 starred it all and yet not be there

I have been playing for well over a year and every time new things get added into the game I feel like I'm left out.
This new conquest event is the most pathetic excuse to tell 90% of the player base that they're not worth the time or effort.
Thanks alot EA for another useless event that I will not be allowed to participate in for prizes.
i get your unhappy, but they have said they are planning for an 'easy mode', for lower level players. So maybe take a chill pill and wait till they make the final decision before you kick over another flower pot

Need is a strong word.
From your other post, knowing you are close doesnt help you get it. You still need a proper plan and proper execution, which can be done without a counter.
It would be a great thing and much appreciated, but much like the argument for hiding scores on GAC, if you just plan to do everything in your power to do it, knowing (or not) changes nothing.
I like the mode, I don’t like that it’s made the game unstable. Since the last update it’s crashing to Home Screen like it did back when TB was brand new. Super irritating when it costs you attempts...

Yeah, I hope they fix this soon. I had both HSTR that launched since the update get all laggy. Exit that screen then crash to desktop.
@Drathuk916 the reason they won't make replays free is the feats. You could just spam Sector 1 missions to complete all the Event Feats that require larger numbers/time investment.
Which is why I said after your past the point of potential gain. Let it become free when you’ve completed sector, boss, and event feats.

The problem is global feats for the event still need to be done. It would be a little silly to pay to refresh to unlock "free play", not that some wouldn't do it.

I really doubt this is correct.

Correct, I believe I was wrong in my understanding there.
Yeah, I am believe I am misunderstanding what was discussed at one point.

Can you show the boss node in sector 3?
You get more mod salvage for 6 dot slicing at higher crates (+ Razor Crest shards but i think those are diminishing rewards as you max out the ship)
You can always settle for T5 box if you like g12+ over 6 dot slicing salvage and less RC
Lol thats it, did realize i didnt collect it

Same. Need that counter badly so i can tell if im close

you have to work for the crate, its not a freebie

Cooldown reduction disk, buffs disk, loop Vader's AoE and Merciless Massacre.
