I'm not waiting. I deleted all allies so that I'm not clogging anyone's list. I deleted the game. Just waiting on my refund request.

DVD Josh

I understand and don't blame you. Would you please mind telling me if you are IOS or Android, and what reason you gave for the refund request (and then following up if you got it?). Thanks and we enjoyed having you in the thread.

DVD Josh

Running AGI challenge on auto now to see what happens.

DVD Josh

Well that was interesting. The AI did much better than I do. Won it easily. Team comp was:

Barriss(L)
PTL
QGJ
Phasma
Daka

Oh and actually got 3 hairdryers this time instead of 2!

This game, lol...

I don't get it. This isn't a "game" anyway. It's a collection simulator. What have people been doing these last 5 months if not building a roster? Yes we all focused on specific characters because that's what the meta dictated. They changed the meta. The reasoning is to bring more balance. I can't speak to Android, but on iOS this is v0.3.4. We are the beta testers. The guinea pigs. I have only spent $42 on this game and I don't feel ripped off (yet). I knew what I was doing and I haven't spent since. No big deal.

This update and the direction is supposed to encourage diversity. Isn't that what we want? A personal dream team of characters that can hold their own. Maybe not permanently because defense AI sucks, but enough that we know how to win with our teams?

I don't understand the uproar, especially from the F2P market other than it being a slog to upgrade characters and now those classic characters are no longer the top tier. I literally just super-maxed QGJ and now he's apparently useless. Big deal. He's there for the next change or the next event that needs him. It's not like I was going to quit farming others. In fact, this has given me new direction when I was just sort of meandering about getting everyone in GW up to 5/6* or unlocking everyone in Arena to get Vader shards.

In PVP they are single matches. Your team can handle the climb, but they may not keep the rung. So? Do you want to sit at #1 every day? Do you want to cram your playing into a specific 45-60 minute window when only 15 of that is actually doing anything?

Events and challenges are the same: single fights. You learn them, you adapt, you conquer. Then you get bored.

The only thing I think is truly unfair by this change is GW, but, again, you're supposed to want a full and diverse roster anyway so the more characters you recruit and upgrade, the further you will go. I have made my feelings about this known and I have no doubt they'll "fix" it somehow. Most likely by allowing Protection regeneration or betting enemy matching. It'll come.

Other than that, it's the first jarring step on the path to (hopefully) make something worth playing every day. What was it last week?

Guilds and raids are on the horizon. We wanted new content and it's coming. Does the rebalancing hurt? Yes. Does that make it unplayable? I don't think that's something anyone can really justify on day #1.

Well, having messed around with it on-and-off today, I'm feeling a bit better about it. It's still broken and they'll need to fix some stuff, and I'm ticked that I can't even play the event content because I don't have enough characters yet BUT...

Ultimately, I'm solely F2P and over time I'll have more characters and these issues will resolve themselves. I still enjoy this more than most other games I've played. I just hope they fix things sooner than later and that the guild stuff is fun. We'll see...

I just got a bunch of messages in my inbox saying they were sorry for some technical difficulties. Lots of free gear, money and crystals.

pinata242

250 crystals and a couple of rare gear. Not bad for nothing. 25 free purple hairdryers is a good week's work.

I wonder what the restart fixed. TO THE FORUMS!

pinata242

TL;DR

Challenges adjusted to be easier

All Strength Challenge Rewards from yesterday (ed: and AGI from today) sent to all players

Arena battle speed is increased to match the speed in Galactic War

Galactic War balancing being discussed by dev team - See? Told ya.

JuryDuty

Holy cow! That was a surprise. Tons of free materials. SO glad to see they're making adjustments fast.

pinata242

It's nice but, let's be real, most of it was just junk. I have literally hundreds of most of those and at least one is approaching 1k.

I agree with pinata - apart from the purple hair dryers, nothing else was worth collecting....

On a separate note,
Does anyone know how to make my android phone to connect with Google so that I am able to change my name from "Mol Eliza" to something more interesting?

story

I don't want to be looking for things to complain about after the update, so let me ask my question this way? Before the update, was it common in Arena before the update to have a stunned character with slow-down on them DODGE an entire round's worth of attacks? Because that keeps happening to me.

pinata242

They've been able to dodge before, regardless of state. I remember reading the devs say they were discussing it.

If Dooku was the leader, the extra evasion is probably killing you.

I believe I have noticed an animation error where an AoE attack that is dodged by the targeted character applies damage to others but they don't "wince" because the targeted one doesn't. I'm not 100% sure about that, though, it was just once.

JuryDuty

meer--on Reddit people say you just have to click on Support on the ingame menu and send them a message asking to change your name to what you want. They'll do it within a couple days.

JuryDuty

Well, I think I have to eat my words. Today has been completely different for me. Aside from a few nuances, the game is now playing like it used to after their last patch. I'm able to finish the Galactic War again (though I did have to exchange out Sid for Phasma--now Sid's on my B team), and the challenges are about like they were. They seem to have fixed things for us newer players just fine...not sure about end game yet though.

I bought the $20 Ewok pack, so I could play the event and because it goes to charity. It came with some crystals, I had about 5k so I bought an 8 pack against my better judgment. I must've gotten really luck with my pack as I got a Leia and 2 Mauls (so 32/65 shards to 5*). Unfortunately I'll never buy another 8 pack so I will never upgrade them. Maul could be a little useful since he's 4*.

Question for anyone else who has a chromium exclusive character, my next GW last node gave me a Maul shard in the chest. Has this happened to anyone else, getting a chromium character in GW? maybe I will get Maul to 5*

pinata242

Yeah, I get Chromium shards all the time from GW. It's rather annoying.

Tons of new info on guilds up on Reddit page. Bottom line, looks like we need to collectively accomplish a certain number of tasks per day. I think we need at least ten more people.

Imprint

I'd like to be in the guild. I entered my info in the spreadsheet. Dumb question: I don't remember my in-game name and cannot seem to find it.

JNielsen

Ewoks are pretty fun. I might have to invest some training into them.

DVD Josh

Welcome, we are glad to have you. If you need allies we can try to help if you post your code.

Imprint

My code is 977-177-649

I cleared my random allies, and I'll send requests. Thanks!

DVD Josh

Your in game name is Imprint, lol.

Imprint

Mystery solved! I thought I used a default name.
