The fun is fading away
I still like this game but much less than a month ago...
When I started playing and leveling up, I used to spend crystals in data cards and got a new nice character from time to time. I got energy enough from automatic refill, some purchased refills and the level-up refills.
May main goal was to level up those characters so that I could use them in the arena and the light and dark side missions... The cantina was also great!
The challenges where exciting as I could get gear and useful stuff. And... what the hell, they where challenging!!!
Then, when everything was great, I reached level 40 and unlocked the Galactic War. That was the best time. A new challenge with huge rewards, and new characters to achieve!
Of course, the arena has always being great, it is always challenging as you aim to get at the best possible rank, and has the best rewards!
But now... I find myself playing all the battles using the sim cards, without the motivation of doing almost anything. The Galactic war is ok but easy to complete, the challenges are just a routine and I never buy data cards with my crystals because I got pretty upset with the results of that in the past.
Of course the arena is still a great time but I remember I got much more fun a few weeks ago
How are you guys feeling about the game progress?

I never get these I'm bored posts, almost seems like I read: please give me free stuff so I enjoy myself again.
In other words what do you want to accomplish by throwing this out there?
PS: if you don't get your fun back, you might want to stop playing
I was just asking if more people feel the same, maybe if that is the case, developers can know what people wants.
It is not that I hate the game, I just miss when I liked it more :P
And... related to get free stuff, I have already paid some money and I do not regret that. Things are not free and I find fair to pay for things that I like. The fun I have already got justifies the money I have paid. However... I am not currently paying for anything because I do not have an affordable goal for that money. I will probably buy another subscription if they come back, and if there is something interesting to do I think I will be glad paying for it.
I am not paying hundreds of euros, that is too much for my budget, but I can pay 10-15 € every month if I get fun with that.
Edit: typo
1. Don't spend a dime on this game (my #1 challenge)
2. Don't use crystal to refresh.
3. Don't use Sim on cantina but do it manually while you're away doing other thing, like watching President Obama to give his last State of the Union Address.
4. Don't max your character but handicapped them at level 50 for all the challenge that awaited you.
5. Rank 1 is a trap
I think that might make things even worse for him haha
No crystals to refresh, good luck doing anything with the limited energy pool, Gear RNG is a nightmare when you want purples...
Keeping characters at lvl 50.. Good luck getting through dark side 5
Rank 1 in arena isn't a trap.. It's the best rewards you can get each day should be the eventual aim of each player
Raising the cap will make everyone happy for one or 2 weeks then we'll be be bored again.
Well when you got every purple gears, then what? chase the next prerequisite? I smell burn out.
When I defeat a level 60 player on my level 50ish, it felt great because I'm the only one who can do it.
When I said rank 1 is a trap, it actually mean every players has to pay butt load of money to get there and guess who is the real winner?
hint: its EA
I too find myself with little to do these days. The forums are more interesting than the game, and that's not a good sign.
I am sure they are hard at work on the next update and if they are spending that time working on bugs and balance issues, then that's great.
I do think the total radio silence on crystal subs is unreasonable, however. We were told flatly that they were only gone because of a temporary issue over the holidays. It's been nearly 2 weeks since then and nothing has appeared and questions about it go unanswered. It may take a long time to balance a whole new update. It does not take a lot of time to put a crystal package in the store.
@LocoAl
You got a point there, it's not that big of a blast as it was when I first launched this game. That's the thing with most games though, you have to find a goal or way to keep enjoying yourself.
For me it's the building of toons, watching them progress and participating in a fun community (forum also plays a role here).
I'm sure they will add more and keep in mind this game is just out. I think it has great potential and many things can be added to keep the fun.
I think many also would like a sort of clan/guild construction. Being able to play with a group (altho being it seperate) and have the ability to communicate (maybe even do wars vs other clans). That way when you log in and have nothing to do, you can still talk with "clanmates".
Did you ever play WoW or any other RPG on console or PC LocAI? If you've played games like WoW or Diablo it's more or less the same. I keep playing because I've invested time in it and have friends there but I rarely feel excited about it anymore
Its a trap if you force it to be one.
Yup, the update can't come soon enough.
I am not at any way miserable, more like excited.
You know if you read your posts out loud in the voice of Eeyore it's pretty funny.
Thanks for that.
So can you go away now? Think you made your point and it's funny to see you "know" this. You obviously know more than 99% of the community so based on your conclusion goodbye and don't need to post your trollings anymore. Game is dead when it has over 5 million users... right...
At least, they should have sale packs or subscribe for crystal, or some events to make the game more lively and after that maybe speed up other big updates and many modes that still unavailable.
Or, maybe we are being punished for denying to buy the end year pack, after low sale volume EA might make deision to stop everything and move most devs to other games that people buy anything throwing at them.
Well, actually i was just kidding..., i guess.
Those kind of things are what I would like to get. My hope is that they unlock more game modes filling those holographic stubs in the home screen, so that I get more things to do.
Some of you have said that a way to keep going is to build your own challenges... I think that we all do that ("Now I want to farm this equipment, or this character", "Now I want get into top-10 in arena") but those are decreasing because I already maxed out the affordable things that I can get, and I just not going to spend a ton of money into the lottery of the data cards. Watch out! Just by giving my money directly for characters is not my way of fun neither.
I just would like to have a bit more of nice gameplay. I understand that in a freemium format things are different from subscription games like WOW, where you pay a subscription and can play as much as you like
I find @CronozNL 's proposal of introducing social features an amazing idea. I hope CG has some plans in that direction.
This game just launched. 95% of the games I played as they launched are the same. You do everything then have to wait until events starts. Once events start that pretty much becomes the game as everything else never gets touched again.
Then people complain about events. How its only p2w players can compete because they have the crystals to refresh.
New characters come out. Shards hit nodes, but the only way to truly have a chance at the character and 7* it to get it through packs. Again complaining about p2w only ones that can get it.
No events, or characters, no update. Everyone complains about not enough to do.
This is the best advice I could give, and might be best advice you get from anyone in this game. If you was enjoying it, but now board, then leave. Leave for something else and come back a couple months when stuff has been added, and could be having weekly events then. Course when you come back you'll be behind all us that does stay, but at least you won't be board like you were when waiting.
I usually spend my 20mins at midnight. I refilled 2times so i can do all my shards mission (dooku, jedi, daka, boba etc) and do 5-6GW battles.
In the morning, lunch, off work. i participated in arena, sim and challenge.
At night before midnight i try to finish all my daily quest.
Working for free? **** lol
I've spent $10 and have been rank 1 at the deadline more than anyone else in the past two weeks and I'm EST so it's not like it isn't competitive.
Don't believe me?
You got Lando or the other ridiculously OP toons only available through packs yet?
The unfarmable toons own, you want, you pay.
If you are F2P enjoy the long road, P2W need cannon fodder.
Push another dime into that slot machine.
My advice, never buy data cards, EA odds are low as ever. Constantly tweeked until the boards fill with people scammed like me, $120 on chromiums no new toons, just shards for useless toons never used.
48 bronze 2 shards 46 equipment mats and counting.
You see, there are no laws governing how a company can stack the odds, you start the app, you agree to the terms, plain and simple.
Edited because IPad spell check sux
This game is by far the most f2p friendly I have ever seen. Here you can get 80% of the characters for free with some grinding. Most games I've played you'll only get characters from packs, or event only characters that you have to finish around top 150 to get just 1.
That's why i feel people talking about this being p2w have no idea what an actually p2w game is.
Go play blood brothers, blood brothers 2, or star wars force collection, then come back here and tell me if this is p2w. Well actually you could. These games you literally have to pay hundreds to just not fall behind to much, and that's not even trying to compete.
