How so? Before it was a buggy mess where you didn't actually do anything. Did they just make it a completely different game?

What just happened in game? It asked for a client reset which I did, and when I logged back in there was about ten messages dated from two days ago... And they were full of gems and various equipment. Probably 200 pieces of purple items, not complaining at all but just curious what that was all about, and if anyone else got it. I should have screen shotted but I wanted to collect everything just in case it was a glitch haha.

It's an apology for the difficulty of the challenges so they gave everyone the rewards from the max rank of the challenges plus some gems.

We pushed out an update tonight that adjusted the difficulty of challenges, making them more in line with the difficulty they were prior to the update.
Because there were so many players who were unable to complete the Strength and Agility Challenges yesterday and today, we sent out max rewards for all tiers to each player.

We increase the speed of combat animations for both manual and auto throughout the game to be the same as Galactic War. The combat animation speeds in Galactic War are currently the fastest we have in the game. This should assist with Arena battles that were going past the 5 minute timer, and also make the game feel faster overall.

While we will not be making any changes tonight to Galactic War, we have heard your feedback and will be discussing possible adjustments that we can make in order to make the experience more enjoyable for players. More information on this next week

This is actually a pretty quick response, all things considered.

Often harder on Player 2
I'm struggling to beat the normal Light Side battles now - the enemies are only in their 30s and my team is all 49-51 but I'm still getting pounded.
Also Poe's taunt ability is nice for debuffing the enemy but my god do I wish it wasn't a taunt. That guy takes a hit like wet toilet paper.

Poe is an Arena tank, not a PvE tank.

I concur, he is annoying.

I still wouldn't buy -him- over anything else. I feel like a Rebel team would really shine in this meta, so maybe Hoth Rebel Scout would be worthwhile.

I'm actually kinda scared of Dooku, RG, Daka, Fives, and Ben. There's just so much health and survivability it'll drive you crazy. Savage and Barriss can fill in for Fives, Ben, or Daka (RG is definitely a necessity though). Daka and Barriss is also a pretty brutal combination. For now, I'm still running Dooku, QGJ, Rey, RG, Daka on offence though. You need a lot of burst and a lot of survivability at this point to get through the Dooku + Fives teams. I particularly like my comp because it has 3 stuns, two ways to get offence up, and an assist. Rey can be replaced by GS if you don't have her to 6 yet.

I almost have Ewok Elder to 5, and I just got Barriss to 7, so I'm getting started on Chief Chirpa. Can't way to have an all 5+ star Ewok squad. It'll at least be fun in GW until I get them pvp ready. Their turn meter manipulation is actually really scary.

The problem with a rebel team is the lack of a farmable Leia. Also, All the rebels took pretty big hits to their damage, which was mostly already middling or bad. Luke is really, really bad now.

Finish GW every day, do credit challenge 9x/week, stop leveling all of your toons and focus on ~10 that you're going to keep up for Arena and GW.

20 minutes? I had to step in once due to a cheese team but it was much faster than playing manually. Having 4/5 squad members able to throw heals makes things easy. On the later rounds when the teams get harder I am more willing to let my dudes die as I have many on the bench. If any of the jedi die I can sub in Obi-wan, yoda, mace or eeth.

Seems building a light side healer team and a dark side stun team are the best bets to just auto through GW.

Higher level missions give more credits/XP (and Normal is better than Hard for credits). All missions of the same level give the same credits but you get more droids from missions further along the progression. Grind items from high-level normal missions to eke out a few extra credits.

I don't know if I have an easy server but all my dudes are 6* or 7* level 73 with G8 or G9. I sit ~150 in the arena rank. I blew through them yesterday as well so I don't think it's a one-time deal.

Wasn't there some guy who 7* Jedi Knight Guardian? Seems like jkg got some solid buffs.

Also is there some sort of bug with magnaguard? Mine did absolutely absurd amounts of work in the tank challenge today.

Also wonder how a ashoka led team with qgj, lumi, dakka and assaij. +14% evade with +20% turn meter on evade might be pretty nice

Nope, still trash. Maybe for that arena stall team, but now that they increased animation speed, it's probably killable in 5 minutes.

(I also have IG86 and Yoda at 7* but they are level 1)

I've been playing since day 1 but basically just chose characters to level that I liked instead of who was good. I use Phasma(L)/Lumi/Sid/QGJ/Ahsoka as my main team, but plan on replacing Ahsoka with Kylo after I get his skills higher and using my cantina energy to get dooku to 7* after Kylo. I am using the tokens to get IG88 shards (6* right now), daka (4*), and poggle (5*). I'm having problems with GW usually on the last two battles, and usually stay sub-200 on arena.

Is Kylo the only dude that can get gear 9 right now without unobtainable pieces? I'm about half way to have the Mk5 stun gun to get him to gear 9.
