If there's enough demand, sure. However, I really want us to start limiting ourselves to 10% (I'm very guilty of not doing this before this next raid), so that the raid actually lasts for a long time. Get some hits in, then back out.

Also, if you get top 5, it would be kind of you to do very little damage in the next raid so that others can get those best rewards (unless we get to the next day and the raid isn't done).

Yeah, whatever, I'll start a raid. Just please don't overdo the damage.


Ground rules.

Try to limit yourself to 10%

Free for all after 12 hours. Since I'm starting this raid at weird hours (for those that missed the first one), I'm going to say 9am pacific is free for all. That's our normal raid start time.


P.S. Until 9am, my damage won't be above 1588.

I don't have enough mods to fully kit out Leia yet and she's only 6*, but she tends to get a turn for every three characters and is doing somewhere between 2k (lmao) to 30k damage per attack. She's not on the same level as my Rey, but my Rey is at 7* and all level 15 mods.

I guess for now my rebel team is indefinitely on hold since my Old Ben/ST Han team is so idiotic now in front of those two.

Nah, Old Ben leading STH is still ridiculously scary, especially now that there are scary mods. I'd highly recommend a speed mod on Ben (not speed set, and only the top right corner one can have speed as primary) and STH, and then they taunt and debuff so fast that your Rey/Leia/QGJ/whoever get a ton of turns while your opponents hits STH. If they try to stop this by attacking STH, there's a decent dodge chance, which just makes this happen even faster. It's a combo that I'm actually still a bit scared to attack, especially if STH has mods.

They nerfed Teebo pretty hard. They claimed to just be normalizing everyone potency, but I wen 2/14 on TM down on the captain in the t7 raid. This is all sorts of bullshit, and has me very, very tempted to get a refund from Apple for this game. I'm giving them a day or two to fix things, but if they are going to undo all the work and money I put into being able to do things like p1 of raids, I am out.

Yeah, looks like they only normalized potency and tenacity for players, and rancor old rating of 100 or so tenacity became 100%, while all character potency ratings dropped by 75% or so. Teebo went from 80 rating to 20%. There was something about this in the patch notes, but they, and this is a huge shocker, obviously hosed up with regards to raids.

If the majority of players are in one time zone, and the problem is that it's dying before the rest of the players even get a chance at it, wouldn't it be better to start all raids outside of convenient times for the major time zone group? Then the minority get to take their swings, but won't kill it because there aren't enough to dogpile it, and when the convenient o'clock comes around for the majority they can still do their thing.

(This all presumes that P1 isn't an issue any more thanks to mods, like someone said below)

The cost to fully level a tier 5 mod is now between 400k and 600k depending on... i dunno what really I didnt realize that mods had variable XP gain. I am very glad I spent their 'forgive us' crystals on another cantina refresh and dropped all my credits into Tier5 mods before this patch. I feel like one of those precrafters must have felt, except probably even more powerful.

I got a speed arrow mod like Malgrin so my Rey is a 38k protection 4000 offense 220 speed obliterator. She takes 2 turns before the rancor gets to go. In Arena she 1 shots unmodded characters. With mods my arena team is at 33k power (from 30.9k premod) and I bodied a 38.5k droid team because they didnt have any mods. 38k power arena team without mods is like all Gear10+ and I don't think Rey even took any damage during the fight????

I'm like :confused:

This is just such a huge rear end disaster. The amount of credits you need to do anything have increased roughly 3x. Your sources for credits have decreased by up to half (depending on if you get mod teams in Gw or not and can't finish it). They hosed up the raid strategically since the tenacity of the raid bosses is much higher than potency prepatch, so now all you can do really is brute force it with your mod teams. I mean, I guess you could get potency mods but good luck with the random tier3-tier5 RNG stat 40% drop rate on scarce energy

In the past month they have just nuked this game from orbit!!!

It's actually a problem with IGD that we need to fix.

So, IGD people, we need a solution to this whole killing T7 raids too fast thing. I don't know what it is. Maybe each person needs to limit themselves to 10%, then try to escape/die? I really want these raids to last longer than 3 hours, because otherwise it isn't fair. We have people from a bunch of different time zones and work schedules, so while 9AM Pacific seems to be a good time for most people, obviously not everyone is going to get on within an hour or two.

I'm very open to suggestions.


e: Also, if you haven't participated in this raid, please get in. Also, don't do damage (at least not much). Bring a lovely comp and go in there and die. You'll get on the leaderboard with 0 damage.

Wait a week for a raid rebalancing patch that expects Mods or a new raid to spend points on?

between mods not dropping from every fight now and them dropping 3* in the 16 energy battle, man i don't know. i need more 5* mods but spending 190 energy or so and getting three total mods, and two of them are 3*, that was brutal.

especially since doing my three daily cantina battles got me 3 aayla shards. is she worth farming? she looks fun.

Even though Rey doesn't have a leader ability, I do like the amount of damage she can hand out. Although Leia also has her nice advantages with adding crit for everyone.
Kidding, I am not picky. I have gone from level 2 after the tutorial to 25 already. On the other hand I am still upset that EA can't seem to link up the guest accounts to a google play account, have to see what they'll do from here.

Also, thank you for adding as an ally. At some point I am going to be useful again in this game... I hope.

WA EAjessie had them undelete that post and left it open for debate. They are in full damage control mode now so if your thinking of quiting I would say wait a few days or just check back in the thread in about a week.

They are so massively in damage control mode right now I wonder if they all watched as they made a intern actually play the game. Mods are pretty much going to get a jumbo sized nerf or have it so certain types of toons can only use certain types of mods.
