This game is borderline pointless as a competitive game at its current state. And the patch won't he

Really can't see this game lasting. Grind to 60, grind to 70. Play against pure terrible Ai. Never any interactions with other players.
Game is more like one of those star wars sticker books. Where u had to buy sticker packs (+ a peice of terrible gum)to fill your star wars sticker book. COLLECT THEM ALL!
Yawn

    Yeah yeah another Poe whine thread...

    I'm not even mad, I'm just kind of bummed. I am so turned off by the concept of Poe that I refused to farm him. I still want to perform well though, so if I want to do that I guess I have to do what I'm being told. I don't feel like I'm playing a "build your own team" game anymore... just following a meta to stay afloat.

    Anyone else feeling like this might be what puts them over the edge, or am I the only one?

    I am royally ****** off.

    Unless you farm Poe up to 7* you don't have a chance of being in the top 100 in a developed server.

    If you only play this casually I'd say put the game down until Poe is nerfed.
    My name is cosmicturtle333, aka CT-333, aka Threes.

    I don't like Poe much myself so I don't play him. There are options and even though the nerf wasn't quite right, it helps. Instead of the break just try experimenting and seeing what works. I have been doing that for a while and even with no arena refreshes it's fairly easy to stay top 100 on a global launch server.

    I get a kick out of just experimenting and trying to beat the meta. Try it out and just don't stress about the top 10.

    Can't beat them join 'em. After reading so many threads about Poe, I also decided to give him a fair go. Seems pretty solid so far.

    Farming Poe after the announcement. I had left him at 3 stars, was sure he was going to be nerfed. Now to gear him up as fast as I can, at lvl VI.

    You have to have him otherwise you're going to be attacked so many times, you're going to take forever to climb up. As soon as team visibility is online, non Poe teams beware.

    I am sorry you are bored with the game.. Instead of complaining why don't you suggest improvements?

    I never got to play with "Star Wars sticker books", you got gum?

    What kind?

    I'm old. Those sticker books where from the 80's when the 1St three original movies came out. The gum tasted sugar'd cardboard. You had to buy sticker packs with 5 stickers in each. And you had to buy alot to fill those books.

    Yup. I, too, was underwhelmed. More of the same grind in a slightly different package. Oh boy. Same boring combat for more shards so I can do more of the same boring combat. Yawn. Ill wait till I see the gameplay to see if it is the snooze fest I fear it will be. With half my money refunded I can then delete this boring grind.

    It had such potential, too. Live and learn I guess. I'm enjoying Uprising more. Grindy in places, crashy at times, but lots more variety and teaming up. They get my money now.....

    Wow.. That sounds neat, when you think about it each person in this game is like one of those sticker books. You get to collect "equipment stickers" and put them in the right slot in order to complete that toon.

    I see why you like this game.

    It is a shame there is no gum though. :/

    I agree. After 5 weeks now and spending about $30 i think I am about done sadly. I do enjoy trying to complete LS and DS but the grinding to get competitive toons is boring and tedious.

    With the end result is that you need to get the same toons as everyone lacks creativity. I'm slowly trying to get a droid team together but it's a slow road.

    The game isn't catering for low to mid budgets as packs are way too random. It's spend big or it's just not worth it.

    I'm hoping for new content and a lot of the fodder characters to become valid... Tusken raider, imperial guard, ugnaught... I'm looking at you!

    I wish pvp was rating based, it's not competitive at all really. 5 free tries and for 50 crystals 5 more. Use the 5 free ones to move up, if you need 5 more wait till closer to 530 and start sniping. It's reckless abandon attack a higher rank till you win. if wins and losses were weighted and achieving a higher rating paid out more. I think you would see more carefully planned out teams and less spam attacks till you make it. Right now pvp is lame and I am losing interest quickly. Game is diminishing returns at this point. Several 7 * toons, nothing really to do. If I could take pride in climbing a ladder and have a good pvp rating, that would boost my will to be better.

    Doubt anyone will miss you if you quit. You are neither a bigspender nor a constructive member of the community.

    I'd terribly love to see something done about speed, whether it is making speed leader abilities work, or simply rework the whole shebang

    The whole point of the game goal needs to be shown. Is this an endless grind and money pit for EA? Lvl 1-30 is exactly the same as lvl 31-70. Just takes longer for the last part. Only difference is all skills and Hp is a bigger number..

    Your right I didnt spend a lot of money on a phone game. If I spent what someone spent to get 7 * chrome exclusives i wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror. There is no community. Poorly organized forum is not a community. This place is a whine fest and filled with fanboy zealots who think any criticism is blasphemy. The game is obviously lacking. There is no In game chat, no organized or even live pvp, no coop play. It's pretty much a single player experience. Reddit swgoh was closest thing this game has to a community and probably why devs communicate there more. But you are also right, no one will miss anyone since it's a single player game. Have fun making useless polls, guess that your big contribution.

    Live PvP would be cool, but I haven't played many mobile games where live PvP works out as well as you would want it to. I expect to see things like live co-op, or guild systems where you contribute to a community by strengthening your guild and showing your worth, while allowing you to chat with other guild members as well as general players in realish-time, as opposed to needing the forums for an outlet. I feel both of these things will come soon. Many of the successful mobile games I have played don't introduce all of the above mentioned features from release. They usually establish a baseline for game play and then introduce the new features over time.

    You can basically just call this game a gamble. No strategy needed. Just poor in the money and pull that RNG slot machine lever. Better payoffs in casino gambling.

    May want to rethink or rephrase that. I'm 100% sure it would be more appreciated if it had gum and original Star Wars stickers.

    I agree with Zerks a lack of stickers is a deal breaker.. Gum is kind of optional because I suspect the gum could cause stains on the stickers.

    I think they could safely give us both safely, this *is* the interweb age.

    Is the gum in a wrapper? To prevent it from harming the condition of the stickers? If so, then I retract my previous statement.

    @Jaqen_Hghar Got it. You meant you didn't want the gum ruining your stickers...it read like you didn't want the stickers. Tomato Tomato. Carry on.

    p.s. oh and no, it wasn't in a wrapper. It was simpler times though and we didn't care about inconvenient things the way people obsess on them now.

    This game is just becoming pointless. There is no enjoyment in being beaten to a pulp even tho you have spent a fortune to get fully ranked up. ($500 and more..... ) Grind grind grind everyday hours to get a few meager points and worthless prizes. I am sure this will become a future case study in how to **** off the whole of humanity and cause mass depressions and suicide. What the hell happened to games being fun? Not just a way to cream the masses?
