heh, you think you can withstand the power of my solarbeam?
On that same note, has anyone started planning Raid teams yet? Taunters look like they'll be useful, along with some kind of healing (maybe Bariss to get through Healing Immunity) and someone to team-buff and avoid the massive TM reduction. I'm thinking something along the lines of RG/STHan/Lumi(or Bariss)/2 DPSes to start, probably Rey/GS, and see how that pans out.

I don't have many people outside of my Arena team that are ready for the bigs so I'll probably end up running Dooku lead with Yoda, Lumi, QGJ, and either Sid or Daka and hoping for the best.

The cost of starting a raid is absurd and I feel like the game would be better served by making them more accessible, even if they needed to tone down the rewards.

It's supposed to be a special event, I'm okay with them being spaced out though I'd like it if the rewards were more guild-friendly as opposed to every man for himself. I think in IGD we are starting at tier V so most members should have at least 1 team to use if not multiple since the majority of goons are lvl 70+

I might be okay with them being so sparse if I didn't have 7 characters waiting on gear that only comes from raids (or I guess for guild bucks/crystals if you're lucky)

E: Also gating that kind of progression behind content you might "miss" because you weren't playing at the time of the raid seems like a bad idea too.

Do you get a lot more energy or faster refill at higher levels? I can't tell if other guild members just had a lot of bonus energy saved up or what but the rate at which other members are going through light side energy compared to me is kind of surprising.

Everyone get 240 regular energy/day plus 135 bonus. I've been buying 4 refills since the level cap was increased. If you can place in the top 200 of arena, it's to your benefit to buy at least 2 refills.

Edit: don't feel pressured to keep up, it seems to me that the rewards for just normal play are still pretty reasonable.

It's fun watching someone edit the Guild Rancor Report. Whoever is doing that, thanks!


e: I ran out of light side hard shards to farm really fast, so then I moved over to working on the stupid stun cuffs -- because they are light side farmable, but really what I want are stun guns for Barriss and RG -- only dark side farmable. Then I decided instead to stockpile some Holo Projectors (250 hp) and weapon mods (4 speed) -- because I always need a ton of those. I would highly recommend it.

I really hope it does 9999 damage.


Also, anyone that wants in IGD, read this:

Malgrin posted:

So, everyone requesting invites: that's not how it works. Unfortunately, we can't add people to the guild by their ID, something they will hopefully fix. Instead, you need to friend either myself (for IGD - basically full) or Jibo (for QGJ). Then you can apply to the guild, at which point we can check if you are on the spreadsheet and add you to the guild. It's complicated as gently caress, but that's how it works.


Unless you do this, we have to remove friends from our list, then invite people as allies, wait for you to accept, then invite you to guild, and wait for you to accept. If you instead add us, then request invite to the guild, we just have to accept you. I dunno about Jibo, but I've already spent way too much time setting up this guild business. Joining the guild is on you.

He's immune to massive damage effects and takes reduced %hp damage. (So knowing CG it probably crashed your game and resets raid progress for your whole guild.)

I saved up energy for the roll over last night and bought 4 refills after that then 4 refills today. I wish being higher level got you a faster refill. The most you can do is hold more energy but even at level 76 it's 134 energy or so.

There are currently two guilds: Ima GoonDi and Qui GoonJinn. IGD is full, QGJ is still accepting applicants.
To get in a guild, follow this link to add yourself to the spreadsheet, then add an officer from a guild with open spots to your ally list, and then you will be able to see and apply to that guild.
Being in a Guild allows you to earn more shards and gear through daily activities and raids (discussed more below).


Raids
Guild raids will involve the ugly brute things from Jabba's palace, plus a Rancor end-boss. These have multiple tiers with increasing payouts per tier. Tier 7 (level 80 max gear/star) gives you NewHan shards. We won't know anything about NewHan until someone either unlocks him, or datamines him.
We are updating information on raids in the spreadsheet here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3771211
There's a tab dedicated to what heroes/abilities are good for raiding.

I've made a couple other minor tweaks and changes to this, but mostly I just added these two sections. The guilds section is near the top of the thread, while raids are at the very bottom.

I didn't want to post a new thread until new guild formation dies down a bit, so I'm hoping to get this out later this week. I still need to add graphics to the OP. Let me know if you have any suggestions.


e: I should probably add context. If you follow this quote, it will take you to the full OP I am working on. Please read it over and let me know if there's anything big that I've missed/should add.

Hk-47 or ST Han?

Fenris13
Jun 6, 2003
With the changes to counter attacks, ST Han looks like he will be a hard foil for dooku teams. Han taunts, you have one of your lower dps characters attack dooku, and dooku's counter is redirected to ST han, where it does very little damage and feeds the rest of your team 30-60% turn meter.
