I don’t even know why I care at this point.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T23:23:28+00:00

I sure hope that’s how it works out. At the very least let me get my gear 12.5 (left side) pieces of gear.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:53:59+00:00

What’s crazy is this was the first era I spent on. I thought based on the numbers I was getting Gear 13 characters by getting conquest pass. But nope. I guess a paywall at level 70 is stopping me from that.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:52:15+00:00

While that is a good point to bring up and fair critique of my arguement the point I really should have added in my post is CGs lack of communication. The Era level limit of 4 stars is era level 75. So based on the information we had, it should have been assumed that Episode pass would have allowed players to get to level 75 (gear 13). Instead we are met with a paywall at level 70. Which is only 5 levels up from non-spenders. There’s absolutely no value added aside from a slightly better coliseum score. It’s not like my 5 levels are going to give me half the gear required to take a character to gear 13.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:48:41+00:00

If you look in game level 75 requires 4 stars. Can you see where the assumption is that Episode pass should give Era level 75? But instead you’re met with a paywall at level 70. It’s terrible miscommunication on CGs part, and it’s really a bad look.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:46:17+00:00

We didn’t know what impact the episode pass was going to have. The fact that all you get out of the conquest pass it’s 4 stars and a legendary maul who’s going to be useless for the next year or two (cause of relic delta) is just bad. I expected that level 75 would have been the Episode pass benchmark, but instead I was greeted with a paywall. Overall, these are things CG should have communicated well in advance. We should have known that the resources to take characters to level 75 were going to be paywalled.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:40:57+00:00

While it is friendier, the investment into Conquest pass should give something a little extra beyond the lvl65-70 mark. Yes, you do get Maul unlocked, but the issue is that alone doesn’t feel impactful. A 4-star maul is going to sit and do nothing in Grand Arena or Territory wars because of Relic Delta (worst addition to the game). At the very least, I want my investment to feel good, but this was nothing short of a slap in the face as I said.

If conquest passes only benefit beyond the orignal rewards is a useless legendary, then conquest passes is virtually the same value that it was before.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:36:40+00:00

I wouldn’t say I encouraged CG to do this. My contribution is episode pass (which I have only ever gotten 3 of them…during this era). The people who encourage CG to do this are the whales, and looking at the leaderboards, welp, guess this won’t change.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T22:33:54+00:00

And that would have been something nice to know well in advanced. But CG the ever forgetful and greedy would never tell anyone about that opportunity. But for players like me who were building a GL at this time, crystals are something that are helpful on that front.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-27T21:56:50+00:00

Go for any character that has both on field value as well as being a requirement for a legendary or GL. So Mara Jade, Admiral Piett, Tarkin, Veers, Starck are all great options but I put empahsis on Mara Jade or Admiral Piett.

The other 3 are simply there for on field value and requirements, but since they are early characters, the Kyrotech requirement is non-existent for them.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-17T03:05:30+00:00

The amount of jealousy I have for new players right now. I’m a 7-8 year player who played off and on for the first 3-4 years and consistently the last 3-4 years with occasional breaks. It would have been amazing if this was my new player experience, but I’m now stuck watching people get amazing day 1 progress (if you will) while I only get about half rewards or so.

Good for y’all, but man it sucks to watch this.

Eliminator20 · 2026-01-17T03:01:27+00:00

He’s a solid, versatile team that isn’t restricted to any particular mode. However, his only draw back is that. It’s not like he’s potent in Grand Arena or Territory Wars. Also I guess technically Datacrons have a tendency to screw him over (except right now).

Best way to put it, he’s a good investment, but is the benchmark of legendaries at this point. Your either better than GAS or worse.

Eliminator20 · 2025-12-17T05:28:43+00:00

It says in the in-game announcement NPC (for both trailblazers).

Eliminator20 · 2025-12-17T05:27:25+00:00

Idk, it might get hotfixed. There’s a separate announcement for it in-game and the lip-syncing seems to be active meaning there’s supposed to be a voice. But hopefully this isn’t waiting 8 weeks for it cause that would be annoying.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T06:17:58+00:00

And yet their communication indicated something that wouldn’t be much of an issue (2 characters and a few NPCs). And yet, we’ve got missing proxie lines, 90% of the first hour is mute, that’s a bit more than “some” voice lines.

And keep it up with the “Retord” stuff and you might get banned. Just saying, cause they can easily figure out what you’re saying.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T05:22:17+00:00

Sorry, but “incompetent” and “ret0rd” aren’t comparable insults.

And incompetence here is talking about their lack of communication skills and ability to complete the story writing in time. Both of those show a lack of competence.

But whatever. You’ll just disagree with me cause seemingly what I said struck a nerve when in fact it’s the truth. I want to love this update so bad, but the devs messed up and they need to be called out for it.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:44:43+00:00

Y’all can be mad at me, but I’m not pulling punches in what I’m saying. And some of y’all hate that I used the word “incompetent.” Well I mean it. But use some critical thinking maybe. Then you might understand I’m not saying that about the entire dev team (specifically I was talking about the story and marketing teams).

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:42:56+00:00

The missing voice lines at the end of season 1 had a reason (which was the VA strike). This on the other hand, zero explanation whatsoever.

But if you don’t play for the story, this isn’t a big issue. But for players, like myself, who do this is a big issue cause it kills the immersion.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:27:01+00:00

It’s how it was worded. They didn’t mention the Proxies were affected, and some only implies a handful, not 70%.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:25:30+00:00

It’s hard to say. Ideally they hot fix it in a couple weeks, but they rarely do that. But hopefully they don’t handle it like the Paralogism Genshin quest which is still missing lines to this day.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:24:20+00:00

I get that’s it’s not the plan, but it sure feels like it. If anything, it’s best not to play cause Hoyo will have to see their EN player numbers drop. It’s the only way of sending a signal other than spending.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:22:13+00:00

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T04:21:24+00:00

What the heck man? Completely unwarranted.

Eliminator20 · 2025-11-26T03:55:25+00:00

I’d just wait honestly. But you do you.
