IGD is doing another T7, fyi.

I'd be a little worried about stripping all the good people out of the other guilds, but we don't really want to have less than 50 dudes in a guild, and it makes no sense to put a new guy into IGD where they can't even run the raid at all.

Given how easily we're plowing through T7, the other option would be somehow making sure we have enough people to handle P1 across two of the guilds and then resorting the guilds so we have two reasonable (if a little slower) T7 groups.

We only have 3 p1 guys in IGD, and we need 2 of them to do p1 usually. We also aren't over killing it by that much, we could probably stand to lose 3 or 4 guys max and still be able to clear it. I suppose this might be an option in another month or so, though by then I'm sure CG/EA will have run the game into the ground

Ehh, I should be patient and hold on. In GGA we were alternating between T4 and T5 but now we seem to be only doing T5. I guess in a few weeks we might be having a stab at T6.

The reason I sometimes get antsy about moving up tiers is I used to get rank 1 or 2 in arena on my shard but now 6 or 7 is the best I can do due to all the raid gear others have. And don't even ask how long I have to spend on GW each day...

I'm down with trying a T6 to at least see if we can complete it in a reasonable amount of time. I'll ask in guild chat if anyone who is active in raiding (seems like we alway sit at 30-35) does not have at least one 6*.

For those guys in IGD who have alt accounts with high level chars (I'm gonna guess that's Malgrin and yig), would you guys be willing to maybe dump your alts in GGA? If we can get a few more heavy hitters, we should be able to get through T6 raids.

Speaking of raid things, since I am 90% done with building my scoundrel team what are the "primo" ftp door peeps? I know Teabo who is about half way to 7 stars, but who else are the superstars of p1. By the end of this week I should be 7 star on both Geo and 86 as well. Oh yeah and Lando the human extinction event got his 7th star today had him in a challenge with both 88 and Boba leads, it was magical.

Oh yes and to further the church of the Jawa engineer, his(probably all) thermal detonators do not provoke counter attacks. So those big gently caress you nodes with a level 80 g10+ fives, yeah he dies while I kill everything else. Works the same with dooku they just don't count as a attack I guess. So you never have to deal with those two nuisances head on as long as you have a 5+ star je with ok gear.

Ah okay, fair enough. Unless there's some higher level goons sitting around who haven't joined a guild already for some reason, then maybe we can look to picking up a couple high level pubbies if anyone has any homeless ones on their ally list. We've got a couple goons in GGA who haven't been online in 14+ days, so we can certainly make room. I'd really like to get us doing T6 within a couple weeks, so our high level guys don't get burnt out getting crap rewards that aren't useful to them.

I'd be willing to drop down and do some lower level raids, because honestly I need the gear bits to get some of my guys up to GL7+. I'm in QGJ right now and in the T6 raids I only have 2 characters that can participate. I can field a full team in T5 and probably multiple teams in T4 easily.

Yeah right now we've been running T5's consistently. I kinda feel bad just switching over to T6 out of the blue, so I'd like to give our guys a heads up that they should at least work on getting one character to T6 over the next week or two so they can get the pitty rewards. (On a side note: it's incredibly stupid that you have to lock out lower level guys in your guild from participating at all in higher level raids - like, at least give them the lowest tier reward on raid completion.). Of course, another Officer or our illustrious leader wookieleaks, could just jump us to T6 right away so who knows. You're more than welcome to jump over though, if you'd like a chance to run a few more T5's.

GGA currently has two people who haven't logged in for 14+ days. Two people who are 5 and 7 days days out respectively. The rest have been active, although like I said before, our raid participation is usually 30-35 out of 50. We got one of our high level guys who says he's kind of taking a break and we can kick him if needed, but he's still logging in everyday and did participate in our most recent raid, so I dunno if we should boot him.

Edit: I booted the 17-day guy and the 7-day guy. But the 14-day is an Officer, so only wookieleaks can boot him.

For T7 P1, I use: Teebo lead, QGJ, Ewok Elder, Phasma, Chirpa. That is enough to do 60% or so to p1. When we were doing t6s, I was using Rey instead of Chirpa, and RG instead of Phasma, but Phasma is much much better.

So basically, for T6 or below, you need Teebo, Ewok Elder, QGJ, Phasma and someone else (anyone with TM reduction is nice, but not required). Elder is a tough farm, though you can get shards for guild points, which I did to finish mine off. Everyone else is very easy.

Edit: Oh, also, gear is pretty important, especially for Teebo and QGJ. Getting them scanners is top priority, because if they miss with TM down you die. Also, QGJ needs his basic omega'd.

Well not to far from a door team then, I can Teabo in a few days, phasma is there, qgj omegaed, Rey stand in while I get chirpa 2 more stars and elder will be the rough one but still workable in a fairly short window. Plus I have some other tm down guys I might give a swing here and there.

How long does it take you guys to do T5? T6 is very big jump up, if you need more than 1 refresh on T5 you probably won't do well on T6. Make sure you have a few people who have specific p1 teams or you're gonna have a rough time.

There's a calculator out there somewhere but this is the takeaway (assumes you do dailies, gw gives no xp):

quote:

Some common refill amounts and days to go from LVL 70 to 80 (must do dailies & bonus each day):

0 daily refills (not recommended, all F2P should be able to get 2+ refills): 73.8 days
3 daily refills (two 50's and one 100): 58.7 days
4 daily refills (two 50's and any other 2): 54.9 days
6 daily refills (two 50's and four 100's): 48.7 days
10 daily refills (All 50/100/200 normal & 100/200 cantina): 39.7 days
14 daily refills (All 50/100/200/400 normal & 100/200/400 cantina): 33.5 days

The mods themselves don't seem too powerful (although I've only seen the Tier 1 mods so far), but the set bonuses seem like they're gonna allow you to make just ridiculously powerful characters.

Mods are retarded. I made a super rey:



This Rey can one shot a full health full protection RG. I was basically able to auto my way to arena #1 today. I did run into one other super Rey, but I one shot her as well.

They have to tone down the mods big time, like cut their effects by at least 75%. I can't believe they released this, do they not test at all?

Those are all quality 5, level 15 mods. Mal was asking in chat how to mod, here is what you need to do:

Auto your way through the first 3 tables of the mod battles. I did this with my ewok + Lumi team and got 3 stars on everything.

Once you beat Table 3, mod challenges open up. Right now, the first one is good enough. Go there, beat all 3 tiers (again, was pretty easy, though I think I had to assume manual control of Tier 3 with the ewoks).

Then you can sim the tier 3 challenge a few times. I used basically one full cantina refresh to get one of each shape mod. I didn't bother trying to get better ones or whatever, just grabbed the first set of all shapes I could get. I then spent a million or so credits leveling those mods up to 15. Add them to Rey and you are done.

People should consider that you only pvp with a total of 30 mods, and while getting more than 30 is good so you can get better stat choice is good, just getting any 30 mods will be noticeable. This means in a week or so f2p will catch up to whales, and people will be able to more evenly divide energy between mods and cantina.
