I'm actually more relieved that it's still on Jesse's radar and not being swept under the rug, which would be the super easy thing to do.

He seems like a pretty good dude with a really thankless terrible job.

Yeah, I've been really polite and thanked him a bunch, because being angry at him for doing his job is neither justifiable, nor will it gain us anything. I'm waiting to see what the rewards are before I send him even the slightest hint of anger.

I stopped leveling (and starring) heroes that I wanted but didn't *need* about 3 weeks before we went to 80. I guessed that it would be coming soon about a week or so before they actually announced it, so I had a nice stockpile when it actually hit. That said, I'm back to living level to level, so, that clearly wasn't enough time. On the plus side, I get way more credits than I need for the heroes I need for GW/Arena, so this credit crunch has felt way better than the 60-70.

Glad to hear. I suspect he's dealing with some other angry people, so no need to add to it.

Credit crunch has felt way less severe at this point, yeah.

Are they going to nerf Barriss's heal at some point? It just feels like having a heal that ignores the healing immunity debuff is more bug than feature.

Ugh, leveling to 90 will probably take like 4 or 5 months if they keep increasing the xp needed.

Nope, it's intended. They already nerfed the healing portion a while back.

The megawhales on my server quit, I can't remember the last time I saw either one in the top 10. There are still a few people with killer gently caress-you teams with maxed out Leia, Rey and GS plus QGJ and RG.

There's a noticeable discrepancy between the health bar in the battlefield and the one that appears if you click a target - and the targeted health bar seems to be accurate. If it's at 5% the one over the character will show 10% or so, but the character will die to <10% attacks.

My server group isn't too bad...There are like 2-3 people that have had 7* Rey and RG for awhile now, so they must've spent some money on packs, but I've only seen 1-2 7* Leia's (could have been the same people, but it was a long time ago, so, I dunno).

I pretty consistently make top 5, and I saved up almost 3k crystals before the level increase happened, and I'm almost level 77. There's one level 79, one level 78, and then probably a dozen 77s, so those that did spend money at the start of the game aren't spending much at this point, or have been able to consistently make top 1 in their time zone. Unfortunately, I'm in PST, and there are now about 6-7 people who are competitive for the top 5, so that really sucks. Gotta be on and ready to snipe if you want to make top 5 (and these days I'm not willing to do that every day -- and I still make top 10).

The last tick mark of the health you see above them doesn't exist.



I don't understand how they haven't fixed the stunned/dodge bug. That's just....incompetence.

True, I guess I meant that there were two megawhales for the first 4-5 months of my server that were always number 1 or 2. They're gone now, to be replaced by other whales although they're not as dominant since f2p and p2p has had time to catch up along with access to QGJ.

What's a little funny is the server whale from day one had a guild tag in his name: FTB, which appears to be the guys running https://swgohcantina.com. However, as soon as guilds drop and namechanges are allowed, he removes the tag from his name and joins Team Instinct. He's still listed in the FTB guild rolls though.

I'm second behind that, but it was max energy at noon, bonus energy, 7p bonus energy, all 50xtals, all 100xtals, and in 35 mins more bonus energy

Yay now that I learned the button exists in the Rancor fight I got to third highest dps in QGJ. But the Rancor ate my Geo Soldier first right after the gate came back up so there went a poo poo ton of dps right there. And I don't think Phasmas leader skill works in this fight, I haven't seen a bonus attack at all.

You get a leader bonus when you enter the fight for the first time in the first phse, and not after. It is a known bug

I hit the Rancor a bit and he ate a Stormtrooper. We do seem to get him down pretty quickly, which is neat. Should finally have my 7* Stormtrooper Han today, too. Any suggestions on which Arena dude to go for next? Sid is already 7*. Thinking Eeth Koth as I've got him at 5*.

Eeth Koth is amazing, 7* him. His fully upgraded stun is such a savior, especially against counter-attack enemies.

I'd say Eeth Koth if only to have a nice 7 star Jedi ready for when/if Yoda event returns.

Turn-meter manipulation and speed down are essential and offense down is pretty handy to have as well. I've had a decent amount of success with QGJ/Savage/Royal Guard/Geo Soldier/Luminara but there are much better options.

You're trying to delay the Rancor taking turns as much as possible which is why you want a consistent source of speed down and TM reduction, when it does take a turn, if you have offense down up you're much less likely to have your entire team get flattened by one AoE.

Don't try and stay past the enrage unless you've already lost most of your team, you will get smashed very quickly, I wasn't paying attention this morning and went from smooth-sailing to 'everyone's dead' in about 2 turns.

So I've been playing this since early December and didn't think to check if there was a goon thread, game is fun. Is there a single goon guild or multiple? I got 5 invites sent to me when guilds became a thing, but unfortunately I looked to have picked wrong as they have yet to earn enough to do the initial raid.

As for heroes I'm currently working on getting Mace from 6* to 7, and Ahsoka, Talia, Phasma & Chewie 5-> 6. I've yet to make much progress on getting Dooku (gently caress that guy :argh: ) or geonosian soldier who both seem to be bullshit. The first order tie fighter pilot used to be absurdly good, but I think they nerfed him recently? In any case I've got at lv75 7* Nightsister Initiate, Luminara, Bariss, Savage, Sidious, Asajj, Old Daka, & Consular. I usually run with Bariss(l), Sidious, Luminara, consular, Asajj; I'm torn as to whether to switch Sidious or Luminara as leader over Bariss, Sidious mean more and harder crits, with the recent changes to dodge Luminara might be better but 20% health for 3/5 of my team, and 10% for the other 2 seems the better choice?


TL;DR: there still room in a goon guild? (android)

We had a serious guild outage in IGD (30 hours downtime -- game glitch), but we've still cleared Rancor twice. If you don't mind waiting a little bit longer, we've got a couple people who might've left the game over the downtime thing, but I want to give them a day to make sure. Otherwise, you can join Goongan -- spreadsheet I linked below has all the guild info.
