Is It Finally Time For a New Progression System?

[@dansioui9819]

Can’t wait for their next progression level! I will gladly quit at that point

[@conwarlock3537]

The way you described G14 basically sounded like a second mod system, except you probably wouldn't be able to unequip the new gear. I could imagine a whole new system similar to MSF's ISO classes or Raid's relics, with items that give your characters a new minor mechanic.

[@phatphil117]

Eh - more like G13 just changing some of the stats affected. But yes, can't unequip

[@batmanwins5701]

That doesn't sound very exciting. One thing I really like about the mod system as opposed to msf's iso, is this is a way to give each roster some uniqueness. The static buffs iso gives are very mundane in comparison..so glad I quit that game and started playing SWGOH..

[@JDMatesic]

Also remember that character level is tied to player level so an increase to level 90 would have that added progression as well

[@johne5563]

I don’t get why we are talking about this. Why are we encouraging something that no one wants? Is it not enough just to get caught up with the rate of new toons and all of the LSBs over the past six months. I think the more we talk about it, the more we are going to make it a reality.

[@alexwilson2503]

My reading of "bandwidth issues" was that it was more to do with the re-work needed for punishing one and episode system. That will have been a lot of dev time that wasn't budgeted for.

[@meglobob9217]

I am pretty sure doing 1-2 extra marquees from Jan to March is using up some extra bandwidth as well. In previous years Jan / Feb we have got 2 new characters / ships tops, its normally CG's sleepy time.

[@alexwilson2503]

@meglobob9217 I'm sure that isn't helping them, although I would presume they had factored that in.

[@meglobob9217]

They need a new progression system, that does not involve adding words, paragraphs to characters kits. War & peace kits = lots of bugs, which using up dev time fixing them and they tend to keep breaking. AFAIK GLAT has at least 3-4 bugs since release and CG 2 months later showing no interest in fixing, which is letting there highest spending players down.

[@marcelopendola9701]

nice man

[@rokarynmazel7353]

Level increase is incredibly unlikely, but if they do it will be a new currency ala Credit MK II. Also, top competitive players are floating much lower in credits from chasing mods and remods

[@dustinzhane7329]

Old Republic credit?

[@platinumrayo6322]

Havent had a level cap in about a half a decade! My theory is theyll go after that credits in the form of 5-6 million per toon just to piss off the community

[@d3athscyth]

I think we are more likley to see 7 dot mods

[@Klokkey]

can we get a video on fleets? unsure what to do with my Galactic Republic and Empire ships lately

[@joebizzle1189]

Love you phill, but you might want to consider working on the lighting in your set up a little

[@phatphil117]

LOL - yeah I am actually planning to replace my basement lights and just have been waiting for these ones to kick

[@philippesoucy9825]

Level increase with credits doesnt make sense on the buisness side. End game spenders would barely be affected and anyone early - mid game (non spenders) would get crushed by it. A new progression will always target the whales so R10 makes more sense but i would really hope they facilitate our R8/R9 income if its the case

[@bodigames]

definitely not relic 10. we can barely get relic 8's not even to mention relic 9.....

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

Relic 10 would be the easiest and laziest. The reason it still unlikely is due to insane it would have to be. 1-7 small boost to all stats, 8 small boost to most stats + extra large towards offense/damage, 9 small boost to most stats + very large to health/protection + medium "defense" type stats. Unless whales already have voted that they would be okay with just a small boost and happy with just the exclusiveness of that small edge, Relic 10 would need to be like Relic 8 and 9 combined. That could potentially be on the level of winning GACs and TW's on the back off one GL. Having a Relic 10 GL could be a oppressive as having a GL Rey when GLs was put into the game in the first place.

[@hippieartist1]

I will take progression to 100 before r10. That is a killer

[@dustinzhane7329]

I'll just leave. There's no way I wanna deal with more grind. There's already too much.

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

I think nothing new on this front this year. Thinking maybe something closer to permanent datacrons, maybe they could max at tier 6 but they yours to keep forever.

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

"Holicrons" you use them just as datacrons but they would be more whale-exclusive and wouldn't replace or change the datacrons we have. They wouldn't boost overall power, more like ensure you always have datacron for every faction.

[@batmanwins5701]

Well o strongly doubt they will add gear or character levels, it would be a massive deviation from the way that progression has been handled so far. R10 makes theost sense

[@kaanliva]

smartest would be level 7 mods

[@batmanwins5701]

@kaanliva that is some big brain thinking! That honestly sounds like the most sensible path to take... As long as they can find a way to make it heavily monetized..

[@flaminsuirtle]

No new progression without easing the other bottlenecks. At this point, QOL updates and new characters need to be the focus of the Dev team. New progression would just discourage new players and annoy F2P to no end. I think progression is in a pretty damn good spot and if you feel like there needs to be changes for end game players, that just means we need game modes that reward end game players. New PVP mode where you fight for cosmetics ( thinking RTA in summoners war) or something similar.
