Jibo posted:It's also worth noting that while Yoda is fairly good, he may not be worth the time, resources, and frustration it takes to unlock him. I've stuck with just slowly getting my Jedi group together. I focused on Dooku over Barriss because I was doing fine in GW, and needed a better arena team. However, if you need to do better in GW, farm JC/Barriss over anyone else. Once you get Sid from Arena, there isn't anyone that great. There are several mediocre heroes, so using arena tokens to get Eeth isn't really wasting tokens. I do like Asajj though (even though she's not that great), but other than her...meh. Obviously you're going to 7* Lumi from GW, because you're dumb if you don't. You absolutely should put all of your Cantina Tokens into QGJ, so that gets you 3 Jedi to 5* in a pretty reasonable amount of time. Also, you can get GS to 7* pretty quickly from Cantina, and then put that energy into JC while you wait to unlock Barriss/Dooku. e: Also, there's a huge reason to get Yoda/QGJ in the CURRENT meta. With QGJ lead, Yoda is the fastest hero in the game, going before Dooku. While attacking, this lets you give your team tenacity, which prevents a Dooku stun. If you also run Dooku, this gives you a pretty big advantage. I think that if you don't have Yoda, Dooku is the best leader, but with Yoda, QGJ is a little bit better.

I'm sick of this game and its stupid meta. As soon as I have JC/Barriss, I'm going Ewoks...Teebo/Chirpa, here I come. I already have a 4* Ewok Elder, almost halfway to 5. E: Just hit 71. And then I spent 2 million leveling my favorite heroes to 71....I should maybe do fewer next time, cost me 2 million. I've got one day left on QGJ hitting 7*, and then I'm moving back to getting Daka to 7*. I haven't decided if I'm going to try to 7* Poe or not...I'm thinking I might just do his hard modes for awhile since one of them drops stun cuffs anyways. I'm expecting level 80 taking about 45 days. At my current pace, I could probably do it at 40, but I'm spending more crystals than it's possible to earn daily, so I'll have to cut back and slow things down, I just really want to hit 72 asap. I'll probably drop to just doing 1 Cantina and 3 regular refreshes per day. If I make top 5, I'll put that into extra regular refreshes, but otherwise I should be able to maintain my crystals at 300 per day. Malgrin fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Apr 2, 2016 |

So the devs only know how to do two things; introduce new (or reintroduce old) bugs, and make the game more grindy. Actually fixing bugs, or lowering old pay walls, is clearly off the table, to say nothing of actually even attempting to change the meta away from its current bullshit. I can't wait to see how hard their upcoming balance changes gently caress the game over. Really looking forward to a new list of required characters in the new meta that is even smaller than the current one.

Not that I don't think these devs are total garbage but putting characters like Poe, Phasma, Dooku, and QGJ into shipments were at the time a good example of a mobile game indirectly lowering pay walls (in a game that honestly doesn't really have any at the moment). Eventually we're going to get Leia and Rey in some shipment or Cantina level as someone else a little more exclusive shifts into the spotlight. E: Like we've seen with RG They're making an honest attempt in that regard but unfortunately they are dumping everything into Cantina and are very poo poo at fixing other things.

All the f2p games just have some IAP target and they make adjustments to difficulty or whatever until they meet the target. Transparency in mechanics is hardly a concern.

So after I have 7*'d Lumi, Poggle, and Phasma who in the hell should I be spending these GW tokens on? I'm guessing either Resistance Pilot or Teebo? No one else looks interesting. I'd save them up but even spending 800+ a day I'm still flush with GW points.

I'm a bad person. I've seen some spite comps lately in GW, so I've started doing the same on the final level. The current thinking is that it saves the last comp you used in GW to match with other players, so I've lately been finishing out GW with Dooku (L) Sid, Lumi, Rey, QGJ. Sorry guys. Once Daka is 7*, I might slot her in there somewhere. I'm also one day away from level 72, so that'll be nice. Can finally start collecting those stupid items a little easier. EA_Jesse posted:We can’t talk about them just yet, but keep an eye out on Monday for something…big. Still wondering what this means. Probably won't have an answer for 4-5 hours. MarcusSA posted:So after I have 7*'d Lumi, Poggle, and Phasma who in the hell should I be spending these GW tokens on? I really like Resistance Pilot, especially if you have a bunch of assists in arena (or even just QGJ/GS). Dooku led RP, QGJ, GS, +1 is really good. Throw in Biggs, Fives or scout for extra assists or turn fuckery. RP is also a pretty good DPS for GW. Poggle is also a badass. I haven't been using him in arena lately, but once I have 88 starred and geared, I might. I've already got 86 starred and leveled, just need a couple more gear levels on him. I think that Dooku's leadership fix and QGJ's availability have decreased Poggle's overall use because you now have really good ways to get offence up. However, he's not bad, and he's really good for the support challenge (basic has high chance to apply ability block). Also, I would recommend using two purchases on one hero, and throw the third into the shard shop. I regularly buy shards for Rey, Daka, FOTP, and Vader. E: Ularg posted:Yea, to the earlier conversation about Sidious, he is totally broken in Challenges and GW. Oddly, I only get this in the droids/credits/mats challenges, not the gear challenges.

Like I said it's been broken in GW as well. I don't think every GW comp is 100% immune to debuffs. And until this patch Boba Fett has never been immune to Sids debuffs. It's what made him so easy. Healing immunity and he can't get healed by his droids. Makes the challenge go by fast.

Ularg posted:Yea, to the earlier conversation about Sidious, he is totally broken in Challenges and GW. Also Cantina and LS/DS missions. PVP is the only thing where he seems to be able to proc his AOE and only sometimes. I checked his stats and he has 0 Potency at gear level 8 as far as I can tell so he has basically like no resistance resistance and presumably bosses have tons of resistance. Not sure what it was like before the update. But I know the previous update mentioned something about bosses being able to resist the crit application of the DoT so maybe they hosed something up that compounded that. xyigx posted:Since I have been playing marvel avengers alliance 2 for the last week or so, how have the balance changes panned out? Eh, not really. There's no way to grind out specific characters (other than reward characters), you only get to use teams of three (which includes your "partner" which you have to select from a group of other players like in this), and there's a funky rock paper scissors mechanic on the units. I also feel like they do a lovely job of explaining things so I don't know what I'm doing half the time. Basically the only thing these games have in common is that they are a turn based RPG based on Disney owned characters. But that's probably a good thing for MAA2.

MAA2 has their Spec Ops, which are occasional challenge events that people were unable to complete at level 30 with 3 star characters. The push to whaling is subtle, but it's there.

cowofwar posted:Has anyone done the math on how many years of playing it would take to get GG? I dunno, I had a bunch of GW tokens and arena tokens saved up after maxing all the characters I needed out of those stores. I've probably burned a few thousand tokens on shards for the shop, and I'm pretty close to having enough for the 30-shard GG pile. I can see somebody getting him without too much more trouble (I'm not going to bother since I'd rather use the shard shop for the occasional Vader offer).

MarcusSA posted:Yeah I think someone on Reddit did and it was a comically long rear end time. Long enough that I am not even going to bother because even after being a whale in this game I don't see my self playing it for much longer. Assuming you earn 2.25 Arena purchases and 3 GW purchases per day, that works out to 26.25 shards per day (we're going to assume you're still putting cantina/regular energy and cantina shipments to other heroes for now). This is 2.625 Grievous shards per day. This is 126 days of putting every arena and GW token into GG. When you think about it, that's not SO bad, because at the rate they are adding heroes to Arena/GW shipments (one for each since I started in December), you will eventually run out of heroes to spend these tokens on. I mean, I'm really close to just throwing GW at GG anyways (after Teebo, of course). However, if you wanted to throw every resources you had at Grevious, you could speed that up by a bit. Spending 200 crystals per day, you would have 240 cantina energy and 480 (+135) regular energy per day. At the estimated 1/3 Cantina and HM farm rate, this works out to 17 HM shards, 10 Cantina shards, and 5 Cantina Battle shards per day, bringing our total up to 58 shards per day, or 5.8 GG shards per day. This brings our time down to 57 days farming. So, once you max everything (including gear) at level 80, you can have GG maxed in just 2 months.

Pretty much any of my level 70 characters are at the point where if I want them to go up in gear level I have to find 50 of an item. And for whatever reason there's only like a 0.05% drop rate. Because out of 230 energy I only got a single piece of gear from an 8-energy mission. Not really sure what to do otherwise. I'm currently still getting shards for QGJ, Ahsoka, Dooku, Fives and FOST. But after that I have a full energy refresh to use on whatever. So all I can do is try and waste my energy on farming gear I'll never get to drop. Or trying to gear up all of my characters to legendary gear level status. Or start getting shards for some new characters all together. (I'm working on Barris in Cantina but she's slow to farm) Ularg fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Apr 4, 2016 |

Yeah, it's going to be a lot easier to farm some of those items with the level 72 challenges. You'll still have to work for Czerka stun cuffs in the 50 items category, and there's some 20s that are always a pain (MK8 Blastechs) and the tenacity one I always need more of. I'm actually to the point where I have 200 MK4 laptops thanks to the str challenge. I still need about 100-120 of them, but all of those items need the blastechs, and those are for heroes I'm not trying to max right now - Phasma, Ewok Elder, Poe, Ackbar. I would highly recommend working on Rey. She takes forever, so you should start now. Barriss also has two hard nodes on dark side 5. Old Daka has one node on dark side 4. Ewok Elder has one node in light side 2. Poe has a node that also drops Czerka stun cuffs...I generally get one per 3, so, it isn't the worst thing. Regular energy refreshes are also really good right now because you get the xp, so I'm just farming a ton of heroes, and a ton of purples because I have the energy for it.

I don't know about other players but if I'm not getting progression of some sort every day then I'm not going to stick around. Some pieces now require farming for a week, never mind the 50 item things.
