I don’t know if I ever would have noticed the ‘retreat’ option hidden in the upper left, much less the way it impacted GW gameplay. It definitely encourages having a roster that is both broad AND powerful. Holy loving poo poo, why am I not doing this?

The RNG of this game is the absolute most annoying poo poo I've seen in a video game in years. Oh you killed a character? Daka revives it with a heal. Oh you killed him again? He's loving back, AGAIN. Oh your Sidious only does 1k while being level 60 6* with maxed everything? Well theirs is going to 2.5k crit everyone. Their Daka is going to double stun for days, while your's can't even land a single stun. Their Sidious just evades over and over and over? Well, yours is going to die in 2 hits. It's loving trash and needs to be fixed. And, AGAIN. gently caress this bullshit. There's a reason people are talking about this poo poo on Reddit. The defenders are getting stupid loving hidden variables to make up for the fact there isn't a player there. I'm so loving tired of seeing the enemy Sidious evading 4,5, 6 loving times in a row. I have a Sidious too. I also have a Luminara with maxed leader skill providing more evasion and I NEVER get evades on him. Zotix fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Well its not like the RNG gods have it against just you. Sure it sucks going against it as an attacker, but when you are defending you get the same benefits. Doesn't excuse it but at least it's fair.

Argh! I sniped to 6 on arena with enough time for 10 mins and a challenge before it reset and when it did I was already in combat till after awards went out. Then I went and challenged #5 with my defense team to leave it over night and curb stomped him. I totally should have had 5 today.

Maul is neat, but unless you whale out like $1500 you aren't going to be using him much. The only way is premium packs and 4*'s just don't hold up end game.

Speaking of 4 stars, I got one from a bronzium card! UrrRRUUROooROORR Oh well, it's a 4 star dark side character, and a small step towards the Sand People Inshallah team.

Is it 4 star bronzium day? I got a Mace Windu pull. Don't have the Jedi to really capitalize on his Leader skill, and his Unique requires that he die, but at least his "basic attack does more damage while Defense Up buff is active" should synergize reasonably well with Chewbacca until I really start to fill out my roster.

From facing Fives he's Kinda like a better FO stormtrooper? His basic got a speed debuff and he gets counter, so any attack against him that trigger counter also applies the speed debuff. Guessing he's real good with Phasma and/or more Clones. Got Luminara now from GW at rank 3, not quite there yet to replace Councilar, also Holy poo poo am I short on XP drones. 1,2 mill in the bank and I can't spend it, wish basic fights granted xp like in Future Fight.

Cool, thank you. I think I'll put some effort into him and see how he goes. His counter speed debuff could play really nicely. Also, Sidious is such an incredible character - really digging how versatile and robust he is.

Yeah, I have gold to spare but I completely tapped out my drone stash when i unlocked Sidious. The weekly drone thing just doesn't provide enough :/

Depending on your level there is keycard battles too. That coupled with some stamina recharges can net you a fair few levels.

Anyone else have Asajj Ventress and think her turn timer is really really slow compared to everyone else? I have her reasonably high level and with purple tier gear but everyone else takes 2 turns before she gets 1. Just want to confirm I'm not crazy.

Zotix posted:Spend crystals on cantina energy. I do, still not enough when unlocking 2 new characters at lvl 46 *and* trying to keep my A-team tapped up (let alone the B-team)  But maybe I'll unlock keycard battles soon and that will help, I was really short on cash before unlocking GW - it's not very beginner friendly the way the game is set up right now compared to M:FF (but maybe they have had more time to figure that out). As for Asajj: Yeah she's poo poo slow for some weird reason, it's not like she does super damage or is really tanky, so I'm not really sure what they were thinking there. Her archetype certainly doesn't scream "slower than Jabba". Her base speed is 75 and maxes out at 86. Compare to: Barris: 100 base Ahsoka: 85 base Admiral Ackbar: 80 base (She's slower than "It's a trap!") http://www.swgohcantina.com/character-stats/ She's the slowest in the game and the only one at 75 base speed for some reason*. The speed stat seems kinda arbritrary set, Vader, Dooku and Poggle is at 100 for example. Over half the characters are at 100 with 8 at 85 and the rest at 80 exception for Asajj. There's one plus side, and that is that she always goes last at start so she can hopefully manage to pop the enemy buffs with her special, and with say Phasma on she might get some bonus attacks in to make up for her slow speed otherwise. *Apparently she maxed out at 104 speed in the beta which was considered OP, so uh... "that school" of balancing I guess. Pimpmust fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Sometimes I feel like the meta in this game is like a giant 2000 foot long tanker. In the tanker you have to plan your turns so far ahead because it turns so slowly. Here it takes forever to get new characters, so you have to plan so far ahead. I'm working on an AOE team of Poe/Kylo/IG88/Sid/Darth (or maybe lumi for heal) but it's going to take months for them to reach 7 stars. And who knows, that team might suck, everyone might be running the perfect counter to that team, but I have to spend so much time regardless.

If you have the time and patience to sit at your device and do it, that's the way to go. If you're like me and just do the daily stuff, however, pulls are probably better. I don't have a ton of time so I tend to focus on the maps that complete my dailies and give me the character tokens/gear I'm looking for. Waiting and pulling fills in the gaps with mixed results but requires less of my time overall. In the long term I think it's the way to go if you're strictly casual like me. EDIT: If Sim tickets were more readily available I'd probably change my tune though.

The people you have to farm like that, yeah, it's going to take loving ages. People you get from Arena/GW/Cantina points are much better, and I hope they'll start to change them up on a weekly basis or something. Feasibly, if you're following the 6-hour refresh times and aceing GW every day, you can get like 15 pieces of someone per day. Edit: Did anyone else know Asajj has a 5th ability? You have to scroll down. I never noticed it because there are no visible scroll bars until you actually start scrolling. New Leaf fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Dec 30, 2015 |

A 4* Darth maul doesn't mean poo poo against a team of weaker 7* because at that point the stats of the 7* just trump the 4* maul or any other premium only character.

You get a bunch of sim tickets for buying the daily cantina energy refill for 100 crystals. I haven't come close to running out and I tend to do all of my turns and stuff once a day so it's not like I am hardcore grinding.

That's true, but if you're also only putting in like 30 minutes a day you're really unlikely to run into a 7* anything. I wasn't aware of the sim ticket with energy thing though.

You are placed into a bracket when you start the game. Some players will be more casual than you, some will whale out and have monster teams. I assure you as you get close to 60, you'll see teams of 6 and 7* characters.

Like that rear end in a top hat who came out of nowhere with a lvl 47 4 star Sid and a 13 628 power rating (when everyone else is around 10 000, lvl 44-46) who took my #334 spot from #392 right now  Had a draw fight with a dude who had a Phasma and a high lvl FO Pilot, drat does that dude hit like a bunch of bricks! Very squishy though. I really need some more 4-stars, this just aint' cutting it on the damage front. e: Is the Strength in Allies achievement broken? Says I got 14/25 when my whole drat ally list if full (35 people). Does it only count people you add yourself, not the ones who send an ally request?

The megawhales on my server look like this:  I'm pretty sure there was a third guy with Qui-Gon at 7 stars but maybe he stopped playing. For some reason, they're not dominating the top 5 anymore. I'm seeing a few Phasma teams (like mine) and a lot of Barriss and Sidious leaders.

Probably not a super whale, just some guy who've stayed away from PVP until he got his Sid up. I'm having hell of a time dealing with all these Phasma teams, can't kill her fast enough (got pretty good HP) before she does both her specials and buffs the poo poo out of the enemy team, and there's usually 2 healers + Chewie to either heal the damage done or take fire for another couple of turns, either I'm doing draws or defeats right now  My team: Chewie at 5 stars Consular 3 stars Talia 3 stars And then some combination of: Poe 3 stars FO Stormtrooper, 3 stars URoRRuRRR, 4 stars (but only lvl 43 to my other 45-46) Ahsoka, 2 stars, FO Officer, 3 stars Does iOS users go up against androids or is there some other reason for *everyone* having Phasma?  (Well pretty easy grinding I guess. Should get on that. Just got Luminara first, which might have been a mistake?)

That's nice to hear, but who should I swap out for Lumia 950 once I get her up to speed? I suppose I should get her to at least 4 stars before going for Phasma. Can't quite grab all of GW yet, but enough to occasionally cash in on shipments twice so I've been gathering some Phasma on the side, might focus entirely on Lumia first though just to have her at a useful state.

Honestly, I haven't been too impressed by Luminara. Yeah the Ability Block is nice, but its too random. Maybe I'm just too familiar with Barriss.

I finally finished that when I was level 43 and my JC was promoted. The big key for me was to use the Ima-Gun-Di from my allies. His defense up helped keep the damage low.
