Should I aim to get shards of heroes I already have (things like ewok scout, the trooper, the consular) to start, to progress further in on stronger versions of them, or should I start farming for the named character shards ASAP to replace these guys?

I would recommend getting JC to 4* early on because he makes GW much easier. You can do a combination of hard missions and cantina for this, although GS is a better use for cantina energy. Dooku is still one of the best heroes, and if you do his hard shards from the start, you'll unlock him before you know it.
I would lean towards maxing QGJ before working on Daka, but you will hit a wall in DS missions. Ifthey remove the paywall from Tusken Shaman, that will get easier, but I don't think that will happen for awhile. However, QGJ, Lumi, Sid, and GS will keep you in top arena spots for quite awhile.
Farm Rey early on (HM only), and never stop. Eventually you can farm up to 3 missions for her, but getting a start now is good.

I'd say get Daka to like 5 stars maybe so that you have a solid darkside healer and mid level PVP character but then switch to Qui Gon ASAP because he is very good in basically anything you can use him in.

I would say pick one or the other, both have their merits, but whichever one you pick, stick with until you hit 7 stars. Cantina tokens especially are too valuable to split between characters, and having one 7* is much better than two 5*s. Also, Talia makes for a perfectly good dark side healer since they revamped her, most people forget this because they already had Daka unlocked by then and never went back to look at her.

So have they detailed the "speed/damage" balance thing yet? Because I can only see three possible ways they can do it. Either change everyone's speed and be done with it. Or apply a scale based on base speed(making night sisters and Jedi possibly to good). Or possibly a scaler based on current speed, meaning poggle buff would debuff his own droids Lol.

Also of note for anyone starting/building their Jedi team for Yoda, gently caress mace windu. He will single handedly lose you that fight. 7 star with mace in your team is waaaayyyyy harder than anyone else in that spot.

I used him and won easily, although I did have all 3 healers. Hell, I use him on my all-Jedi arena team too because gently caress the meta :colbert: (though he would be the first to go if a viable replacement (Kit Fisto) was not whale only).

On don't get me wrong, my 7* mace is on the team. Just not the one vrs Yoda Lol. Full team of 7*(Barris almost there) Jedi including mace pretty much breeze through gw for me. Although I really want to try a counter attack team after I am done with the Jedi thing.

I just need to figure out the right mix, obv duku but not sure who else is a good counter attacker for FTP.

Bit unsure what to farm for next.

Arena, started doing savage as did is 7. Good?
GW no idea. Lumi is 7
Cantina store is the slow QGJ grind
Cantina fights I'm doing Kylo but seems a bit meh. Will do Doku once I'm 69 and can unlock that tier.
Hard modes is Doku

Yep I'm in the same boat. Haven't seen what the next light/dark/cantina will unlock but I feel I'm close to falling out of the funnel.
RP is only thing I'm working on in GW, Lumi, IG, Phasma, Poggle done
HK/IG only thing in Arena, both will be done this week. Sid, Asajj, done. (Maybe work on ST Han?)
Finishing up Talia in Cantina, QGJ, Mace, Barriss, Kylo, JC done. (Maybe GS? But doubt would really use him now. Maybe Londo?)
Finishing up 5s in Cantina energy Old Dakka, Dooku, Poe, done. Fett? Tano? Neither seem like they'd get play. Could try FOO for a First order troop.
RG is only hard i'm doing and it's halfhearted after grinding FOTP and Rey.

shrug unless ship combat comes soon or the L80 has interesting characters I'm on my way out.

It's even more fun when your main team is mostly Jedi. I get that Sidious is supposed to be anti-Jedi but his dodge rate is just stupid.

Yeah this is dumb. Mace moves at normal speed, resists everything, and one shots everyone.

Good thing I need to run the tier below 72 about a million times to gear Yoda I guess.

I just got RG to 4*, and have leveled/geared him. Let's see if that works...

Yup, first try. I've got level 71 6* G8 Poe and level 70 or 71 4* G7 RG. RG's stun/slow here is pretty amazing, and Poe seems to be applying a damage down thing. The other heroes I have in there are Teebo, Chewie, and FOST, and they all are somewhere in the level 50 to 60 range, so they just add a little bit of damage, and occasionally Chewie steals some turn meter.

Don't forget that level is a huge part of the potency/tenacity calculation, so if you're trying to get a level 60 RG to stun a level 72 Mace, it just won't happen.

I just don't understand the rewards for the challenge. The new item is for a level 82 piece of equipment, so nobody will be able to use it until the level 90 upgrade. And you stop getting an item (the power cell) that is used by a lot of characters.

Yeah. Also, why is the Mk4 A/T Stun gun an int item, and the Mk5 a str item? That just doesn't make sense to me. I had assumed this challenge would be dropping Mk5s, but I didn't even look at that item, or realize until now that it wasn't an int item. I only need those for Barriss right now though, so that's good. Still, it sucks to need 50 of an item and not have a challenge for it (unless it drops from the new Str challenge, I haven't seen that yet).

As for it dropping a level 82 piece of equipment, I don't have any heroes that can use that yet, what does it do and how many do you need? I'm assuming a lot, so, having a couple months to save them up sounds kinda nice? Also, I have 250 power cells, so, not a problem for me. I do have like 300 of the other two things the int challenge drops, so, really don't care, just glad to start collecting a new item I might need eventually.

Is this game still complete dog poo poo? I stopped playing over a month ago, because it looks like the plan was to raise the level cap every 2 months. Looks like they did it again, are are adding guilds. Is it worth playing again?

Ask us again in a month.

e: I guess I should add more. The game still has promise, in the sense that they could build something pretty awesome. That they've promised guilds and raid events at the end of this month is a sign of good progress. They're also talking about reworking one hit kills in this patch, and further down the road, finding a better arena system (they've hinted that they aren't entirely happy with the arena system).

I'm mostly still playing it cause I have more heroes to collect. Gotta catch 'em all.

There have been no positive changes in the past month, whatever you did not like about the game when you quit still holds true today.
