Kegslayer posted:Poe isn't the real issue though. I agree 100%, but it takes a long time to properly adjust and test a full overhaul of the game mechanics, which is kinda what needs to be done. In the meantime, tone down the biggest offender of the bad mechanics. Zotix posted:Realistically what tier of the Jedi challenge will you guys be ready for next week when this drops?

Malgrin posted:Lumi is way, way better than any other healer, except maybe Barris. I should add an asterisk here that I don't have any other healers at 7*, but there was a point where I had Lumi and JC in a similar star/level/gear range, and I think JC healed for just a little bit more. However, Lumi's heal adds a heal over time. Additionally, she's a great GW leader because she heals at the start of your turn, and adds evasion. Additionally, she does significantly more damage than any other healer. Basically Luminara is the best character with a heal, but not the best healer.

Thanks. I honestly rather focus on GW. I'm able to keep between #500-#600 in Arena which gives me at least one shipment purchase a day. I'm about halfway through the last star on both Sidious and Phasma. I'm going to get one more star for Daka (the one before last or whatever) and stop there with her. She is supposed to be great with the stuns and the revives but nothing ever procs for me. I'm stupid unlucky. I rarely get stuns. I never get passive revives, I rarely ever get heal revives. And the cooldown is just absolutely godawful on that heal. I was doing better with an underleveled/undergeared JC. I'm just incredibly unlucky. Every GW match the AI just focus burst down whatever target is weakest after rounds and rounds of just attacking whatever. I think my strategy has been pretty fine though. I focus on sid first, lumi second unless there's another big DPSer out there. I usually never use my sids aoe until the target of focus has the healing debuff on him. I usually leave the counter-attack heroes last unless it's the turn of a hero that has a bunch of health still and can take the damage. I just wish GW didn't pull from actual player teams. Because it just means I'm playing the same team over and over again.

In GW, I roll with JC and Lumi. JC's heal is clutch because you can use it every 2 turns. Lumi's heal is on a 4-turn cycle, but it's clutch because you can cast it towards the end of a fight and the HOT will keep you capped off while you finish off that Dooku.

I use Barris leader, Luminara, QGJ, Phasma, and Aayla Secura for GW. Dooku could easily sub in for Aayla. I only use Barris for when someone has healing debuff and starts to get focused. Cruise to victory daily.

I'm pretty excited for this Jedi only event. So many people are going to dump all their resources into getting 5 7* Jedi heroes, and they'll never use most of them ever again after that event. So not only are a bunch of players going to totally hamstring themselves for long-term arena and GW, but there will be so many more Jedi teams in arena, that Dooku and Sid will absolutely dominate. Hope getting Yoda is going to be worth it.

Zotix posted:Realistically what tier of the Jedi challenge will you guys be ready for next week when this drops? If it started on Monday, I think I would have a 5* team ready to go. By the end, I hope to have 6*. It's gonna depend on how fast I can farm the Eeth shards. Can only get 5 every 6 hours. Present posted:I'm pretty excited for this Jedi only event.

But I'm pretty sure I could get a top ranking in Arena with a Jedi team, even against Dooku/Sid teams. It's not like everyone's other characters go away. Also, any and all characters are a bonus in GW, so I don't know how this would hurt your GW team. If anything, Jedi are great for GW. Lumi, Barris and JC are all top tier GW characters. commish fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Feb 5, 2016 |

People that don't get sidetracked from building a well synergized team will rise through the arena ranks to the top. Then you'll meet those tight arena teams in GW in the last 3 battles. So not only will you be facing fully kitted out whale teams in GW as you are now but you'll also be facing crazy strong F2P arena teams too. But maybe there will be so many people on the Jedi bandwagon that GW will actually be easier, who knows.

I know there have been people like that posting in this thread, it's not just imgur whales. If you could only hold say 1000 cantina coins or something it would help. There's already a cap on how much currency you can spend and you have to pay crystals to bypass it. Having a cap on how much you can hold doesn't make EA any money.

Sadly, this thread seems full of just grizzled old semi-whales talking about the meta and which 80 shard mon they should 7*. I seem to be the only new player which is alarming for a game that's not even 2 months old and completely full of polish and (usually) quite fun. How is EA going about attracting and retaining new players I wonder?

Zotix posted:Realistically what tier of the Jedi challenge will you guys be ready for next week when this drops? I'm definitely going to be able to get the 4* one done. 7* Lumi and JC, while Barriss, Eeth, and QGJ are 4. QGJ is less than 15 shards away from 5*. I've been going for Dooku shards in cantina, and I've almost got him to 6*. Once I do, I'll switch to farming Barriss. I'll be able to do the 5* challenge and unlock the new character (Yoda) the second week the event is going on, and MAYBE even the first.

I'm an outlier but I don't think it's Yoda. We know multiple characters are coming in this patch. I just think they are going to monetize Yoda. They'll make far more money off of him than anyone else.

Having a pocket anti-droid character will be much more useful after the patch because you can preview arena enemies.

So not only will you be facing fully kitted out whale teams in GW as you are now but you'll also be facing crazy strong F2P arena teams too. Anyone who's been playing for about two months probably has a decent Arena team already (7* Lumi and 7* Sid for sure). There aren't that many good choices from Arena shipments besides what, Han or the IG? GW shipments most people go for Phasma or Poggle after completing Luminara. From Cantina they have at least a Daka, maybe a Poe. Probably nothing from Cantina 7* but still usable. From there you can divert your resources towards getting that 5-man Jedi team quite easily with Eeth from Arena (might fare well vs droid teams later on), and definitely QGJ from Cantina. Cantina battles people will have to give up on GS/Luke/JC/Dooku in order to get Mace or Bariss. There's no other Jedi you can get from GW so you can keep farming Phasma/Poggle or save the tokens for the update. I feel like gear is definitely more valuable in terms of Arena performance. Yes you need stars for big HP jumps but most of your speed, damage, and crit will be from gear (and levels, since that gates gear).

Gotta powerlevel my Jawa now. I wish I could spend my several million credits to buy training droids. I used to have abundance of both. Then I have an abundance of training droids with no credits to use them. Now I have an abundance of credits with no training droids.

I've leveled roughly every other day, on average, and level 69 just cost 750k for my A-team. I'm also waiting on enough credits to: Get Asajj's 5th star Get Poggle's 6th star (I also need about 10 more shards - so one day) Get Dooku's 4th star Get Daka's 5th star. I'm glad there will be extra credits on Sunday.

Need some help deciding what to focus on next. I'm currently level 60, and I'm using 7* Sid, 6*Lumi(soon 7*), 5*JC, 6* Luke and 4* Poe in Arena, and pretty much the same in GW. I just got Luke to 6* and JC to 5* today, but I don't think I'll take them further just yet. I'm saving my Arena shipment points for the patch, and using my cantina shipment points on Old Daka (will get her tomorrow probably). Still using GW points on Lumi, she'll be 7* in a few days. I basically need something to spend hard modes and/or cantina energy on. When I get Daka I'll start doing more DS missions, so I'm thinking I want someone I can use there. I also want someone I can use in GW, since Poe is pretty useless there. Keep in mind that I'm already level 60, so ideally I'd want someone that can be useful sooner rather than later. Does anyone fit that criteria at all?

You should be... about ready to go get Kylo Ren in Cantina battles? He's beefy and handy in GW and Arena alike. Mace Windu is first node on tier 4 in Cantina too, and his buff might be... good? IG-86 is also tier 4 after Kylo. Barriss hard nodes are a few levels off probably. Geo Soldier is drat good and I imagine he could be amazing with QGJ, easy to grind in Cantina. Todays favorite GW match up: All lvl 70 team led by 6 star Barris, with 7 star QGJ, 7 star Leia, 7 star Lumi and 7 star Ahsoka. Third from the last match. My team is 2x68 6 stars, 3x67 with 5-6 stars.

Yeah, get a Geo Soldier to replace that JC. ... or IG86, since we're getting a shitload of free shards for him this month anyway, and he's easy to grind to boot from Cantina battles, hard battles, and GW shards.

Seeing the first lvl 70 popping up in 20+ bracket, lots of familiar names (and whales) but it's impressive to see guys with 26-27k power rating when I'm only 23k. Just the last few days these guys been jumping several thousand in power rating - guessing it's gear related moreso than stars at this time. I don't think I'll gain much more than 500 power from going 6>7, but maybe it differs between characters (then there's also ability material upgrades that don't affect the power rating score at all yet adds tons of attack damage). Gonna hit player lvl 69 tomorrow, I'm at 35.1M credits accumulated - might be the easiest metric to determine at what level one really is (both whalin' and f2p affects credits), what are you guys at?

Like, I had to sacrifice yesterday's and today's refills to do key battles so I had the 2 million I needed to promote just the main team to 69, still about 10 characters left stuck at 60ish...

Yes, I only got 600 k in the bank and need like 2,5 million within 4 days In good news, I've spanked 3 Poe teams in Arena today, just wailing on their Sid as prio #1 and then unleashing my own sid and kylo AOEs does wonders. Also learned that Kylo will counter attack 3 times vs Reys 3xattack

Everyone at this bracket is running Poe, but many are just sticking him in the ordinary Sid/Phasma/Lumi/JC or Barris team (maybe Rey or GS switching out JC). The guys that can loving destroy me are running Poe + guys like QGJ, FOTP, Phasma and Maul (GS/Leia can fit right in though). It's funny when FoTP attacks 3+ times, calls in an assist and before the assisting guy is finished with his attack animation my guy has taken 8k+ damage and died. Even jankier when it's QGJ or GS auto-calling in an assist involving FOTP *and* triggering Phasma assist. It's like a clown car of attacks I dread when more people figure out they don't really need healers / actually kit out full on Poe+attacker teams.
