I am happy, but I think it lasts two days so I've already missed out on half the event. It's so rare I'm able to participate in the events they run, and when I'm finally able to I miss out on half of it through no fault of my own.

You just completed your first Mod Set!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_02

Mod Sets provide a huge boost to a Character's stats.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_03

There are numerous types of Mod Sets, each providing a unique boost.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_04

Tap here to learn more about Mod Set Bonuses.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_05

Some sets require two of the same Mod Type whereas others require four.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_06

That means you're able to combine the effects of a single four piece set with that of a two piece.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_07

Or you're able to fashion together three complete, two piece sets!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_08

You're also able to complete multiples of the same set and their bonuses will all apply.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_09

This allows you to have three completions of the Health Mod Set resulting in a massive amount of Health!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_10

Mod Set Bonuses gain additional power once all its included Mods reach level 15 but I'll explain more about that later.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODSETCOMPLETED_11

Every character is unique, so experiment with various sets to discover the best strategy.\n\nGood luck!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_01

When I successfully Upgrade a Mod, it will always result in an increase of its Primary Stat.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_02

At levels three, six, nine, and twelve the Mod will gain or, in some cases, increase a preexisting Secondary Stat.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_03

Upgrading a Mod to its next level takes longer as it reaches higher levels but, with each Upgrade, I get closer to upgrading the Mod to its next level.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_04

Each Upgrade attempt I perform has a chance to instantly succeed!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_05

When this happens, the Mod will immediately gain its level.\n\nOtherwise its Upgrade progress will be presented so you know how close I am to upgrading the Mod to its next level.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODUPGRADED_06

Upgrading Mods is very important to competition so visit often!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_02

Tap here to view your collection of Characters eligible for Mods.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_03

Cantina rules require Characters be at least level 50 to have Mods assigned.\n\nOnly qualified Characters will be displayed here.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_04

Let's assign the Mod you just earned to this Character.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_05

Every character has six Mod slots. Each of which requires Mods that fit that slot.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_06

Transmitters fit only in this slot.\n\nLet's assign it there now.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_07

Now tap here to select the Transmitter.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_08

Unassigned Mod information is displayed in this area.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_09

If you had a Mod already assigned to this slot, its information would be displayed in this upper area for quick comparison.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_10

Now tap ASSIGN.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_11

You can see how your stats will change based upon your decision.\n\nNumbers in red means a decrease whereas green is an increase.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_12

If you haven't noticed, this slotted Mod is blinking slightly.\n\nThis means that this change is pending and has not yet been confirmed.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_13

This allows you to try out numerous configurations to plan the best assignments for a character!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_14

Press CONFIRM to complete assignment.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_15

Congratulations on assigning your first Mod!

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_16

Assigning a Mod to an empty slot is a trivial task for me.\n\nRemoving them is a bit more difficult.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_17

I can yank them out, destroying them in the process, or charge a small fee to carefully remove them without being damaged in any way.

CONTEXTUALMSG_FEATUREINTRO_MODACQUIRED_18

Mods are very powerful augments to your Characters and there are many more you can win throughout the Cantina.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

They broke so much stuff!! Its HILARIOUS how bad these devs are, holy poo poo, but I'm not surprised. I was talking on this topic in guild chat but my friend used to be a consumer insights analyst at KABAM! who make that lovely star wars diablo game (the only company other than EA that can make a star wars game and they got to do it because they found a loophole in the contract lol). He always had good stories about the mobile game dev industry. The dev teams for mobile games are usually understaffed, and they are mostly pushed towards working on things that will monetize, and they usually don't have good platforms for testing & QA. The EA credits for this game actually has a lot of people on it, but I'd be shocked if they were all actually working on this game post launch.

Its pretty funny that they launched an update which is essentially just some assets for future use and some new monetization features and they managed to break the 2 most important sources of gear/income.

I mean, the gear system is already half-broken, with characters getting basically random stats and instead of reworking it they are just going to pile up on it...

Yeah this seems like a great idea that will bite them in the rear end. I mean on paper it looks like a great way for people to get to use alternates. Instead it will just be the same dumb toons with the annoyance meter turned up to 11. Like you said suddenly we have super Rey, the immortal royal guard, Lando the human extinction event(he will probably be the only new part to the meta besides a speed hopped up ventress). But yeah I predict 90% of it will just be dudes stacking dodge on dorku and poo poo like that.

You'll buff a character to be tankier, but damage dealers will be buffed to do more damage. Maybe it'll just cancel itself out in the end, and what it will really do is just further amplify the advantage higher level characters have over lowbies.

Has anyone else noticed weird fluctuations in how much of your battery this game drains? For the longest time I could complete everything in the daily activities queue--including GW--and still have about 40-60% of my battery leftover. After one of the recent patches, the game seemed to start drawing way more power, to the point where going through the daily activities leaves my phone almost drained. It also caused my phone to heat up substantially, almost to the point where it's too hot to hold comfortably. The patch that toned down GW seemed to coincide with a drop in power draw, and the most recent one that hosed up GW again brought back the power draw/heat issue. This game is the only power-intensive thing I do with my phone, so I'm struggling to find other possible culprits.

Ewok Event is screwy today. Yesterday I was consistently beating T1, and coming very close on T2. Now I can barely clear T1, and you can forget T2.

We are about halfway through P4. If you already have damage on the board, please hold off until we have more than 40 people in the raid (Preferably more than 45). Right now we are at 37.


e: I think the new rule for finishing raids is going to be 12 hours AND 45+ attackers.

Also, if you regularly aren't making raids, I would recommend moving to QGJ. They have space, and their raids last more than one day.

Well, there's one worth watching, because you get to watch one of the most Grievous injuries of the entire show, but that's probably the only one.

Actually the JJB eps aren't *awful* once you realize he's playing the archetype of the Holy Fool, and can almost literally do no wrong despite his foolishness.

I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again. Clone Wars and Rebels are both good shows if you're into Star Wars. The story is solid, the voice acting is great, the action sequences are amazing and the themes are surprisingly mature for a couple of shows for children.

I wish they weren't so slow to roll out new characters in this game because there are tons of characters from those shows that I would like to see in this.

That would be awesome. I like when franchises don't take themselves too seriously. That never would have happened with Lucas at the helm ("there was no father :350:), but maybe someone at Disney has a sense of humor.

I'm watching Clone Wars while playing Elite on my other monitor, so I usually just watch JJB episodes. The one where he annoys the Trade Federation types at the state dinner wasn't bad. JJB is still pretty painful though.


Jibo posted:

Yeah, I noticed that too. The scene where Ventress force chokes some clone trooper, whom you see struggling to breathe, toys with the guy and then force pulls him on to her lightsaber while giving him a kiss as he's dying made me think, "we're well out of PG territory here."
