Yeah, t6 is going really slow, slower than premod because of lack of participation. How many 60+ active people are in gga? Maybe we should merge the two guilds and send all the non active or once a week goons into gga.

I thought we just loving went over us spacing out our raid clears to give more people a chance to get on the scoreboard?

I just downloaded whatever patch allows me to use mods this morning, and I'm auto running the mod levels. I've run out of guild allies and been relegated to using random pubbies. I love how some of these clowns have Lvl 70, Gear 1, IG-100 as their top character.

I suspected these were fake characters generated by the game but then I used one and actually got the option to friend the guy!

And here's EA_Jesse, doing his best to calm everyone down.

EA_Jesse posted:

Hey Everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a message to you all that is directly from me, one that isn’t patch notes :)
I know that a number of you are upset with the latest series of updates, but know that we have heard you. As many of you saw, CG_NotReallyAJedi made a couple of posts recently addressing some of the concerns with Mods. We should have more to discuss tomorrow, but know that the team is doing quite a bit of work on Mods to change them. I want to avoid giving any specifics since all of the changes we’re looking at are being tested still, but know that adjustments will be made to Mods. There are also some other concerns you all have that I won’t list out here, but know that I’m talking to the development team about them as well.
Now, in regards to all of the posts on the forums, we need to adjust the approach being taken by a number of posters. I’m going to ask that you please stop posting threads that do nothing to help the state of the game, I don’t want to remove anyone because they keep breaking the TOS and Forum Guidelines.
Here are a couple of things that I’d like to see stop:
Posting threads telling people to quit, to stop spending on the game or to lower their review scores. This does nothing to help the state of the game. What helps us is seeing feedback on why you don’t like a certain feature and how it affects your enjoyment of the game.
Do not create posts bashing EA, CG, the dev team or the moderators. Again, this does nothing to help the game.
Do not create posts on how the game is dead, or how it’s going to die, or anything along those lines.
If any of the above is done after this posting action will be taken against your forum account, and we really don’t want to have to do that, so please, keep it civil and constructive so we can clearly see your feedback.
Thanks,
Jesse

Did I say calm everyone down? I meant he just lit a match.


Hahahahah, found this in response to the TI post:

How the last day has gone so far:
Players: OMG WHAT THE **** ARE THESE MODS, JESUS THEY'RE SO POWERFUL! WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA. OH ****, THE WHALES ARE GOING TO BE MAXED AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTEND WITH, ALL MY GEAR IS USELESS **** HELL THIS IS HORRIBLE!
CG: We've heard you have some problems with this update. We are aware of your concerns of being left behind. Don't worry, we're working on something that will help...[10 seconds later]...Alright, we've heard your problems, and we're listening. So here's what we're going to implement. Once the whales have 2 days to farm these mods like crazy, and you've had the chance to maybe get one or two, we're going to reduce the drop rate.
Players: WHAT THE ACTUAL ****, THAT'S COMPLETELY BACKWARDS, THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER JESUS ****.
CG: Oh we're sorry you're having troubles. To make it up to you, now the T5 mod battle will drop T3 and T4 mods too, so you probably won't even get T5 when you get a mod.
Players: WHAT THE LIVING ****, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ****, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
CG: By the way, the way credits were being used was inconsistent for leveling mods, so we're going to fix that too.
Players: That sounds like a good change actually, than.....OH **** OFF. YOU JUST DOUBLED THE CREDIT COST TO LEVEL A MOD UP. WHAT THE ACTUAL LIVING **** ARE YOU DOING?
CG: Hey, don't worry about it, we're totally going to increase the amount of credits you get from GW. It will totally help...[increases credits by 20%]
Players: 20 **** PERCENT INCREASE? ARE YOU **** **** ME? I JUST RAN INTO A FULLY MODDED LEVEL 80 GL 11 DROID TEAM AT NODE 6 AND BLEW THROUGH 36 7* CHARACTERS. I'M WORSE OFF THAN I WAS BEFORE. HOW CAN YOU BE THIS DENSE?
CG: We have a new system in place where you can mod your character to improve their strength by orders of magnitude, you should try that.
Players: ARE YOU **** KIDDING ME! THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
CG: Oh, I should mention that it uses Cantina energy, so at most you can get 7 battles a day in. Good luck! You can get more by spending crystals to refresh.
Players: I GUESS I HAVE TO SPEND CRYSTALS ON REFRESHES NOW. OH WAIT, I FINISHED ALL MY ENERGY, AND I HAVEN'T COMPLETED MY DAILIES, WHY NOT? MOD BATTLES USE CANTINA ENERGY, GRANT CANTINA REWARDS, BUT I DIDN'T GET CANTINA BATTLE CREDIT FOR DAILIES!
CG: Well naturally, the battles are hard, so they count as hard mode battles, not cantina battles. This is working as intended.
Players: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK
CG: Please enjoy these 20 Chewie shards!

I've been trying that Final Fantasy Xivious game and I've gotta say it's pretty good! Far, far better made than GoH. Even if you don't know if you want to play it, I'd recommend trying it and redeeming the launch items - poo poo ton of bonus items and some bonus characters and tickets to pull rare characters atm.

Glad I could help. I didn't think for a second that the good times would last.

This is like precrafting, but about 10x worse. In the past, if you precrafted 2-3 items, you got a pretty big advantage, but other people could still take you out in arena (most of the time). Sometimes the protection was too much, but not usually.

Now, wow. I mean, it's like double or more stats for what you choose.

There's a whole thread. I spent about 5 minutes to it. As someone who really like Final Fantasy games (although I haven't enjoyed the last few), I just can't get behind this one. I dunno, I think I like the combination of gameplay/story in FF games, but I just can't immerse myself in a story in a mobile game. I'm not that tied to any of the characters, so I just don't see the point of collecting them? Or maybe it's the artistic style of this game. I really don't know.

Haha, I didn't dislike 13, and I played most of it, but I just got a bit bored after awhile. I thought the gameplay was good, but the story was blander than usual.



So...today was the first time since I can remember, that, while running my arena team in GW, I actually lost anyone. Granted, running up against a 150k HP/Prot RG certainly does not make that easy. I'm confused though, the person put 110k into protection. I get that it's easier to get high prot numbers in RG, but I'd much rather go for high HP numbers on him because he gets insane amounts of healing when people attack anyone else.

Oh, nvm, For the same level gear, you get 1/2 health as prot. 47% vs 94% and about 7k vs 14k. Prot is probably the better call in this meta.
