State of the Galaxy: July 2022

Salatious_Scrum · July 19, 2022 11:14PM

This should have been the Road Ahead.

Bladegunner · July 19, 2022 11:16PM

Definately a road ahead worthy.

Great stuff all exciting!

Fieldgulls · July 19, 2022 11:16PM

I must have missed the part where they mention datacrons being removed from game…hopefully it was excluded on accident.

I would trade this update for them to remove datacrons 😂

BLACKWING · July 19, 2022 11:20PM

Oh my god Jabba GL they're actually doing it that's hilarious haha

EldelSable · July 19, 2022 11:22PM

What a joke. Mod management now that mods don’t care to datacrons. Meh news as always. Don’t care bout jabba. Bout scary wookie. And new ships. Remove crystals from fleet arena with datacrons. Thanx

CadoaBane · July 19, 2022 11:22PM

So when relic 9 is a requirement now for a new capital ship, where's the part mentioning how there will be more ways to actually get r9 droid brains in the game if you're not in a overly competitive 300+ mio gp guild?

Ultra · July 19, 2022 11:25PM

The SOTG didn't cover the most important part

How great is Mob Enforcer with Hutt Cartel tag now

Iy4oy4s · July 19, 2022 11:28PM

So, its official....we are totally done with the gear economy changes? Not a word about it? When are we going to hear something about this? Especially now since R9 is now a requirement for things.....

wildnz · July 19, 2022 11:30PM

All those mod upgrades but still no way to save all / snapshot your mods in game.

Azudelphi · July 19, 2022 11:36PM

If R9 is going to be a requirement for the Profundity and likely for other characters required for Jabba the Hutt, really need to address how they're acquired. Removing the low tier relic mats from high tier requirements was a good call, but to gate these characters behind guild size and Territory War performance is a bad call.

Plus the writing is on the wall for Jabba to need at least one R9 requirement as well.

Disruptor92 · July 19, 2022 11:37PM

While these changes are nice (the removal of carbonite and bronzium scraps from R8 and R9 upgrades and the improved mod management), it's still unbelievable how you keep ignoring the gear economy changes YOU promised AGES ago. You keep increasing relic requirements, but don't make reaching g13 easier in the slightest. How can you be so tonedeaf?

dogwelder79 · July 19, 2022 11:43PM

I told you. You should save a couple of r9.

Dianora · July 19, 2022 11:45PM

Enjoyed everything overall (okay, maybe not the R9 requirements for Jabba unless droid brains are going to become more common) except for the mod changes. I don't find the current mod system onerous so much as depressing. I'm sure some people will appreciate the improved interface but I would have much rather preferred things like: removing 1-4 dot mods; making speed secondaries more common; removing some of the unused primaries; and making triangles more common. Or, since I'm just wishing here, removing all speed secondaries and making this game not completely revolve around who rolled more speed on their mods.

R9 doesn't matter if you can't get there anyway

BinBetter · July 19, 2022 11:50PM

Nice. But still no full roster mod snapshot. The code exists in the game, TW, GAC, please implement it for MODs. Allow us to save in game a single instance of all mods on all characters. Easy way to put all the mods back with a single button click. Save/Resave and Reapply, just 2 buttons.

Yes, that would make 3v3-5v5 swapping easy. And even with all the new tools, there's simply no contribution to remodding half a roster. It will only allow dealing with batches of new mods easier...which wasn't that hard.

flux_rono · July 19, 2022 11:56PM

yeah CG THIS IS A RAOD AHEAD tells us about the future without telling us everything, the other thing you released to talk about datacrons was a state of the galaxy. get the names and idea right

Gifafi · July 20, 2022 12:05AM

I can’t imagine reading this monstrous pile of insanely good news from cg and worrying about what the post is called. Just lol

GL JABBA FTW

The_Nev · July 20, 2022 12:10AM

you want me to be excited about this SOFG? Then deliver what was promised during the SOTG back in September of last year! If you're not planning on doing this then at least have the minerals to say officially that you wont be doing it!

P.S. Wouldn't it be great if we had....oh I don't know.....an official discord channel to discuss this on? You know like the one you created for the other game you just released?

ShadowJediKnight · July 20, 2022 12:19AM

I like the mod QoL update. That's going to save a lot of time.

Not that interested in GL Jabba. But it is interesting that there won't be a counterpart to him. Does that mean the next GL will be Old Republic related? I hope so.

I think we're long over due for word on the gear economy changes. And I'm going to hold my ground on this one; until those changes are finished, I'm not spending anymore on this game. C'mon CG, finish those changes.

Granolo · July 20, 2022 12:19AM

I LOVED THE MOD QoL UPDATE!

That being said, what we are still missing is being able to snapshot all the mods you have equipped to your toons, so you can easily remod certain toons for an specific event/battle, then you can return all your mods where they were initially. Because even with all these improvements, remodding for specific battles is still gonna be a hassle and something many people will still avoid.

mesa176750 · July 20, 2022 12:19AM

Will current r8 and r9 characters get used CCB and bronzium wire returned? @CG_SBCrumb

Muireach · July 20, 2022 12:19AM

Hell guys we are finally getting mod QoL, I really don't give a rats **** about the rest. We should encourage QoL changes like this not get saltier than a salt mine.

CaptainRex · July 20, 2022 12:21AM

Still no fleet loadouts

(jokes aside, update looks good!)

flux_rono · July 20, 2022 12:27AM

will this visual be available for already maxed mods? id love to see how great my tenacity rolls are on my nest for example

The_Dandalorian · July 20, 2022 12:42AM

I am personally really excited for this. Jabba has always been a character I wanted in the game, and with the Hutt cartel tag, we could finally get the true hero of star wars, Salacious. b. crumb!

Oscote · July 20, 2022 12:58AM

I am personally really disappointed with this. Could have been the removal of datacrons and I would buy 3 hyper drives just in celebration. I would whoop and hollar. I refuse to spend a dime on the game since their release, and continue to follow that track.

Ragnarok_COTF · July 20, 2022 1:25AM

I'll admit, if it weren't for DCs and 3v3 GAC, I'd probably be moderately excited for this. That said:

Mods QoL... with the presence of Hot Utils, this seems like time wasted to me. Some nice features, for sure, but nowhere close to what is needed to get me to use the in-game mod management again.

GL Jabba and Profundity... cool. I'm a ways out thanks to Raddus and KB, but that's fine. Bigger issue to me is that there still isn't anywhere he's needed besides GAC. I guess there's a new TB mission, but unless it awards a ton of goodies as a SM, yawn. We need new PvE content.

So, not a bad announcement. Dare I say a good one. But the hole CG has dug these last few months is deep.
