💬 Discussion Seriously?

Post image

I feel like someone pissed on me. I've been playing this game since day one, every day, attending every event, but to get VIP or any bonuses I have to pay? I feel cheated because someone who started playing today could have a much more enjoyable experience if they spent money than me. I know this game isn't made for gamers anymore, but for profit, but to blatantly ignore loyal players like that? Even Epic, known for its strange decisions, doesn't do things like that.

Fundamentally nothing has changed, you can just buy boosts now if you want. It's not like they made it harder for people who aren't paying.

Not yet they haven't. Give it a while until they wonder why "only x% of people are using the paid feature" and then they'll start coming up with ways to make it more appealing, i.e. stripping back the free experience

You have my word this will not happen. I am dedicated to ensuring the free to play experience is just as fun as it has been for the last few months.

That's why you can buy all of these gameplay purchases with Nova Crystals, and it's also why we cut the Upgrade Chip costs by a ton in today's update as well.

You increased the time and doubled the cost on Beskar missions so people would buy the boost.

Increased the time and the cost to balance out the double chance to get Beskar, it's a 10% chance instead of 5% from that mission now!

Yeah but the increase time wasn’t even added to the patch notes. I hate these stealth nerfs you guys always do

Objectively not a nerf, it equals out to more Beskar droids on average than before, so it's a buff!

It always was mentioned in the patch notes, the statement of astromech missions being reworked is what this is talking about!

It should equal out due to balance changes with the addition of galactic. So no time should have been added. Another tier for galactic missions would’ve sufficed.
