Community Update Part 2: I Am Altering The Math, Pray I Alter It Further
Meathead released a post last night with some updates we'll be receiving to the Eras system - Including a redistribution of points to the lower end, more Episode Points overall, and a make good for that first weird day where none of us could finish our Dailies!

In english regarding the coaxium please?
Coaxium is a loyalty program for the game if you use the web store. You get loyalty points that follow on its own battle pass for rewards - each day there are also a few easy free tasks you can complete to also get coaxium.
Under the old system we could take off multiple 4 day's and get the same rewards. I knew what I was getting the day I completed my gc Their is a lvl of dredd now that wasnt pressent before as I can't be sure if I hit what I want to hit. the store gives the illusions we can get more of the things we want but as the omicrons poiint out we can't as we only get 4 refreshes a month. Another note a bigger issue for me is I don't trust CG to not change things up at random so it's even more benifitial for them and once it's situation it will be essentially difficult to convince anyone we got screwed because we will be used to this Garbage.
I appreciate all the time you've put into doing your analysis, creating spreadsheets & developing content. The positive perspective is helpful to the community. I do believe it will get better. Thank you for all you do.
For the blight feat it says zeta needed but which zeta is it?
Forgive my bluntness, but I think your view of the new system is obfuscated by having the pass+. As a FTP who managed to do EVERY feat (besides 4+ stars Huyang), I've managed to buy 1 Omicron and 2 mods, despite one GC has already passed. I do have 2.6k Episode Currency stored, but I can't use it since 2 Omicrons cost 3.2k. I don't doubt the math that at the end the rewards will be the same or comparable, but at the moment depite putting in more effort, both for the crazy GCs and the conquest like quests like "Kill 10 units using Droids", I'm still way under what I would have gotten. And as you mentioned it's not like I can call it done after having done the GC, I'll need to make sure I clear everyday's quests.
I said 'FTP' but I am 11M GP. So not exactly the average player and yet struggling.
I actually DO NOT intend to buy the pass long term - I very rarely spend money [the last time was $2 the first time they gave us the ascension packs]. I bought it as a math experiment to help the community, so the outlook I'm giving is purely based on the math itself, and not on the rewards I'm receiving from the $20 pass.
@@Egnar Mate I'm not judging you for it, you do you ahah, all I'm saying is that since you can already claim all that stuff you are obviously less frustrated and more optimistic
There is also an unintended effect of the changes which hasnt been picked up. If the marquee is a toon, then no ship GCs. If the marquee is a ship, no toon GCs. For those who dont like ship GCs, this is a potential plus since most marquees are toons. Well, until the next GL fleet drops 😂
Don’t put it past CG to expect you to win a ship GC with a 7 star Huayang
True. CG will CG lol
So I’m a casual player and I had to look up what the hell was happening when the update happened. I feel like I’m being punished for not being on this game 24/7. I used to be able to quickly log in and quickly do my daily tasks to get my rewards, but now it’s a complete chore to do them. And now I’m spending more energies and gem than I ever have to since I started playing the game.
Looks like a cat scratching post in the back
Good catch! This is my wife's office, and we DO have 2 cats - They sometimes meander onto screen!
Do we know what data disk set we are going to have? That’s always my issue. I get junk disks and stall out.
We do not yet.
Ugh I haven't even started the video yet but seeing "My Chemical Reymance" in the thumbnail... Here have my like 😂
Spread the word, MCRey is the new acronym!
So hey, I know this sounds like an egregious exaggeration, but something you said kind of struck a chord, I guess. I'm paraphrasing, but the whole "they'll release something that sucks with a mea culpa prepared and a feel-good patch ready to deploy" ... isn't that just the same as an abuse pattern?
Not necessarily a disagreement, but I do think that it's less a "CG is abusing us" as it's a "the whole business sector is abusing us."
@@Egnar I wish I disagreed with you, but at the end of the day I think you're right. Not to say the whole industry is like that, but... damn.
Awesome breakdown egg... appreciate it... this is Enigma btw...
Eighth brother also has an armor shred
I can never seem to get the battle to go long enough for eighth brother to even get a turn!
Great video! I ran the numbers too, and for both of my F2P accounts, they are going to be seeing drastically increased rewards.
Thank you!!
I completely agree with your analysis. People are going crazy over nothing. I would red crate 1/4 times and then gold crate or less for the other 3. I'm going to get to box 43 to get the last omicron. So I might just make out even better than in the old system.
Utterly disagree! Getting extra garbage does not improve the analysis. I could get at least 1 omicron per challenge. This analysis also makes bad assumptions because they took a complete feat away. That was insane because you don't get rewards for beating all levels anymore. That's about 2 to 4 missing crates that is ignored here.
Glad you posted this so I can know my opinion. 👍
And still no sign of the Jar Jar event doesn't make me and quite a few other players positive towards CG either. Gungans are important for time-sensitive content.
I think you are forgetting to considder the new shop currency, which is key to earning the rewards we had before. In a f2p scenario, you earn very little due to the restructure of the gc mainly. You just wont be able to get everything. And to add an aspect of the "bad feeling", is the fact that we have to play EVER day, without exception, else we fall behind on the track right away. Its kinda stressful to never be able to take a day off.
I’m not forgetting the shop, I did a full analysis on the shop a few days previously [it’s on Reddit], though I will agree there is more pressure to be forced to log in everydayz
Thanks for being a solution oriented person and not fueling the negativity. I like your ideas.
STOP DEFENIDNG CG STOP DEFENDING CAPITALISM JUST STOP I AM SO SICK OF WHITE MEN TELLING ME CAPITALISM IS OK YOU EVIL SLAVE HOLDING NATIVE SLAUGHTERING DEVILS ARE LYING
So my issue is two fold. 1, I’m not saying that it’s impossible to keep loot parity from the old to new system, however subjectively, it FEELS as if it’s going to take a lot more conscious effort to make it. You appear to be penalized a LOT more penalized for not logging in everyday. My other issue is that this was pitched to us as a QoL change when there’s been no QoL changes. None of the sim changes are here, they took a previously simple part of the game and made it complicated, and added a bunch of visual indicators of how P2W the game is becoming. They’re not even trying to creatively hid it anymore This whole update just FEELS bad and when you’re dealing with a player base that feels like all that’s been happening is being squeezed tighter, it’s not surprising for this level of backlash. Morale in my guild is at an all time low, people are feeling the squeeze, I myself are questioning why I’m playing this. I want to spend less time in this game and more time to do other things. We will see what happens but I’ve decided I’m not spending a dime on this game going forward. I loved light speed bundles and have bought a lot of them, but I don’t feel like my time is being respected by the game and I can’t support it anymore.
I do most definitely agree with the critique that this new system more greatly punishes people who may not be able to get to their phone for a period of 24 hours [or more], which is something I hadn't considered until earlier today when someone brought that up with me on Discord.
This is how I feel. The update is making me feel like I’m being penalized for being a casual player. I was able to slowly build up my roster with the old game and now I feel like I’m going to be left in the dust with this update.
It's me, I'm the community lmao. Have a good day at work!
No you are not! He is!
Perfectly explained Egnards! Its the psychological perception that as a player your not making a lot of progress daily, and so you feel pushed into buying the pass or buying Huyang shards to get more quests done, I think that's where the outrage and frustration is coming from. The rewards will be there at the end of the month but early on in the reward track it feels like we're already behind, it creates the FOMO mentality straight away which feels like a cheap tactic to encourage spending. They need to change the updating feats ticker things after battles as you said but also remove the little red dot which says you have a completed quest that needs claiming only to find that feat can't be claimed because you haven't bought the pass or got enough Huyang shards.
I have a few additions... #1, squad arena currency was removed from daily rewards. That's a feel-bad, especially for players who *aren't* in the top 50 of their squad arena. It's a mostly inconsequential reward for developed accounts, but for the early-game when you need to unlock all of these characters from that store as well, that's a huge increase in the time it'll take to get that done. #2, the shift from 2/week GC's to tying 70% of the rewards to dailies and quests means that anyone who's not playing daily, or misses a day or two from something irl, gets penalized way more than they would in the old system. Since GC's run for 3 days, you could do it on day 1 and forget about it, or you could do it on day 3. - I think the best way to fix this, is to build some leeway into the point totals, maybe by 10%, so the average player has a much easier time completing the track (I think it'll be a huge feel-bad at the end of this month, when 80% of the f2p playerbase doesn't even complete the reward track) It would also go a long way for public sentiment, if CG were to actually increase the rewards for players. The last few months have been, honestly, an onslaught of poorly-received changes, that overshadow the positive changes CG is making. It's a very easy system to tune, but I really think that just tweaking the daily quest reward chest by adding: 200 squad arena currency 500 episode points would be enough of a change.
Sub 85s still get arena tokens from dailies
I do not think they will change anything significantly. In a few weeks the "storm" is over and back to business...as usual.
You said during the 3Scoundrels podcast that the first month would be a dumpster fire and then there would be corrections. Honestly that perspective has kind of kept me calm through this entire change.
We will definitely see it addressed by the end of the episode.
@@Egnaryou’re putting a lot of faith into a company owned by EA
@@BigRiceEnergy I've been playing a long time, and many things come in cycles.
I completely agree with the take. Rewards wise, it isn't bad, probably even an improvement to before. But the constant reminder of feat progress plopping up on feats that you cannot claim, the battle pass that visualizes exactly where you are in terms of spending and even the price of the pass (2 passes of $20 if we include conquest is something that other mobile games won't do)...all this makes the game feel so bad psychologically. Much worse than it actually is.
Thanks for bringing the logic. After all, emotions are the path to the dark side. I do have a simple philosophy: never ascribe to malice what can easily be explained by incompetence 😂
I actually think it’s far more calculated than that - Players hate change, CG knows that - by releasing this, and then fixing it. . .we are more likely to happily accept it. We shall see!
@Egnar totally agree that time will tell. Once people have spent time with it and if changes are made, then hopefully, things will feel better.
I love the points you make since you were able to put into words what I've been feeling about the update, definitely doesn't feel as good to play and it wouldn't make me feel good to give them money for it, the main thing I found was the GCs since now it's like I'm scavenging the few f2p feats there are and hoping I can scrap together enough to do it whereas before it felt like I was able to properly experiment and use my whole roster to get as far as possible. Great video and great solutions you proposed.
Love the great information thank you. Have you thought about adding your teams in the squad tabs? This way we can visually see it as well. Just a thought
I’m working with Moonborn to do an infographic that will be posted on our Discord!
@ awesome thank you for all you do for SWGOH.
Thanks for this Egnards. Sorry missed but will be keep me company at work tomorrow.
I have also told many newer teachers to stop volunteering and go home.
I find I say this a lot - young teachers think it’s normal to just work a million free hours. . .its not
They do this all the time they communicate bad let the community spread there confusion like wild fire "free add" then drop the "full information" it works all the time the only problem i have is that they force u with this system and u have to go true that store and have to deal with things are behind a pay wall
Saving rey ultimate for update hell yea
Coaxium = Copium???
Releasing GLAT while they are all out of the office… that’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see how it pays off for them! Thanks for the great video, nice seeing a video that is actually based off the facts we have and not straight to the doom and gloom of what it could be
I am concerned that they are trading giving us less, while trying to convince us we will have access to whatever we want in the store, but meanwhile, we will discover the hard way, we don't ever have enough of the currency we need, to get what we used to get.
www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/1gslvwe/community_update_for_dummies_the_math_how_do_f2p/? Hopefully my breakdown of what we've seen of rewards should help you.
indeed
Thanks for this! I hadn’t seen or heard anyone mentioning crystals in the update
I like to get as technical as possible
This is a great video. Fact based and rationale. People are going to hate it 😂
As with everything I do! 😉
Spot on with the prediction! CG will undoubtedly screw up the intial implementation, there will be outrage from the community, and (hopefully) CG will readjust the rewards system. Just like the new raid system all over again.
thanks for not just blasting cg and saying this is the worst thing ever like most content creators and taking a wait and see approach. looking forward to seeing your coming vids on the math and the real good and bad
Only time will tell! I try to be the rational one!
You're a saint for doing this!
Next year will be very different!
Thank you for reviving the awards (even if you decided to call them the gungies lol)! Great concept, originally by Dickie Darkside. Let’s get behind them!
I actually wasn’t aware that any award shows existed beforehand until we started doing this, but I’m glad people are happy that something in that space is returning! We are very excited for it!
I wanted to attacked your teams, but I didn’t see any on defense. You missed my Jabba on the front line though.
This just happened with me and Old man Logan. I was targeting him and he targeted me.
