I just received and email informing me that Kabam is shutting down the Star Wars: Uprising servers on November 17th. I know DIrishB and played, but I'm not sure if anyone else did.
Yup got the same one.
Surprised it took this long.
Kabam built a really impressive mobile game, then killed it due to long stretches without updates, poor communication, and insanely horribly and repetitive grind aspect to upgrade gear which robs the game of any fun.
Honestly, Kabam is at fault. Horrible oversight, almost complete lack of any communication, etc.
This was a game that could've gone on for years and benefitted from the yearly SW film releases through tie-in marketing/promotions/events. The development team just didn't know how to make premium purchases worthwhile, thus robbing the game of a lucrative premium currency spending base.
Just dumb moves, one after the other, on Kabam's part. Really dumb, amateurish moves. It seemed obvious to those playing after about 6 months that they were intentionally trying to kill the game due to lack of updates/new content.
My last goal is to try to get at least one of the 6-8* Heroic Raid gear pieces so have to 8*.
Getting my Lightsaber to 8* would take like a year, and to 9* would take like 2-3 years, so that's not happening (and a perfect sign of how unrealistically insane Kabam were with their upgrade requirements).
