If you've been following the recent drama around No Man's Sky (someone bought a stolen or otherwise street date broken copy of the game and has been posting about it), the guy who bought the game is a member of one of the top whale guilds in this game. So he's already predisposed to have more money than sense.

before level 72 or so I didn't have any problems maintaining rank 20-40 in Arena, but now every day I'm knocked down to 130-150 on defense and spend all 5 battles crawling back up to the 90s. Did the meta shift without me noticing? https://swgoh.gg/u/tek/

Max those dudes and their abilities and you'll be doing better.

Uh well switch out Lumi for Rey. Healers are very anti-meta in the arena! You will probably need gear 9+ to get to the sharp end as well.

Haha yes I just swapped out Poggle for Chief Nebit Jawa Legend and it's beautiful. Seriously my droid team looks much better without grandpa flying lizard rat and his stick of doom. Nebit's gangbang move is hilarious, especially when the IG brothers tagteam in.

iGestalt posted:"Used by 79 characters." Well, the 75/79 characters are ALL the characters that need those items...and basically everyone needs a carbanti or scanner at some point. Because it isn't in the game yet, we have no idea who will need this next level of scanner... Also, I would recommend saving up on those binocs...although if you need 50 droid callers for every 50 of those...I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm guessing the mk5 athakams will drop from new raid? 60 isn't too bad (given current raid gear is 50), but i wouldn't be surprised if they jack that up to 100 before release...because CG sucks.

If you get enough shards for someone and they're bronzium characters, but it's not someone you care about, don't activate them immediately. If you get them for free from bronzium, you keep all the shards that you would have used to activate them, and you can boost their star level a little quicker. If you activate them first, and then you get a free character, you get far fewer shards. I believe you get 13 for a two star character, instead of the 25 that it takes to activate one yourself. I just got a free Jedi Knight Guardian, and I had 38 shards sitting there, waiting to be activated. I immediately turned around and got her a third star, and I have 13 shards already set towards a fourth star. Hope this helps someone!

I'm not sure how or why, but about two weeks ago I pulled Daka from bronzium, and got 32 shards. Two days ago I pulled RG, but got a normal amount of bonus shards (7).

You get an amount based on what star they unlock at. 1* is 6 or 7, 2* is 10-15, don't know what 3* is, and 4* is 32.

I am going to repeat do not spend money on this game. So tab was playing on a guest account and did not know it. She spent some google bucks on the game right before her emu dies. She emails support asks for a refund on the 21 day crystal pack she bought the day before. They tell her the account can not be recovered. So she says fine starts playing on a Google play account. They said they would credit her the crystals and she say ok. Here is where poo poo starts to go wrong. They credit the crystals to the dead guest account. <- this bit somehow means she must be escalated. So they escalate her case dude says ok np done your credited the crystals sorry for the error. Whoops he credited it to the dead account. This loving comedy of errors goes on for 2 WEEKS at the end of which they say hey we got everything fixed. She logs in account looks weird as poo poo and it is in the tutorial. So she gets back with the support guy and he says oh just play through the tutorial and your good. This was Friday night, the loving tutorial breaks at the 2nd or 3rd step. She is also level 80(was 48) has no credits. Back to support... closed. Send a email back to the last guy who  fixed it. Still waiting for them to unfuck this somehow.So Uhh yeah something nicer to say. My aoe death squad is coming along nicely. I am going to try 88 (l), Lando, ani, Vader and RG. I figure with all that aoe plus crits adding dots I can get some beefy Saber throws. Just need to gear up Vader and get another star on ani and I am ready.

xyigx posted:I am going to repeat do not spend money on this game. If not for how utterly hosed this is, I would be laughing. This reminds me of the time when Comcast forgot to link my old house from my new house, and for whatever reason, this meant that I would lose online access to my account EVERY SINGLE loving MONTH. I would have to get on with customer support, sit through their offers and everything, tell them no every single time, and then wait for them to "refresh" my account, whatever the gently caress that meant. Finally, on one random such encounter -- I'd slowly been building my anger, and expressing how frustrating it was to do this every time, after about 7-8 months you get really pissed -- a service tech said, oh, your account is still linked to your old home, do you still live there? No...Oh, ok, I'll just unlink that and you shouldn't have problems anymore. Seriously, gently caress comcast, and gently caress CG. Also, we've had a little discussion about how with guild schedules now it's a little bit harder to finish 600 guild coins per day (we're clearing about 22k per day in IGD, which means we're doing a raid every 3rd day...), but if you plan it out, you can do it pretty well. Obviously if you're a login once or twice a day kind of person, this becomes a little bit harder, but you can plan to use your cantina energy and refresh around your light/hard/dark days to still get 600 per day. Example, Monday night/tuesday morning is Light day. So, Tuesday morning you login, use all your regular energy, use your refreshes, and try to get as close to 0 energy available as possible when you hit 7:30 PM Pacific time. After 7:30, you use your 120-130 cantina energy, plus a refresh. This is 240 total energy spent. Wednesday morning, you do that again, bringing you up to 480 cantina energy spent by 7:30 Wednesday evening. You get 45 energy after 7:30 Wednesday evening (unless you're in the UK), plus enough natural energy/energy recharges before Wednesday's rollover to Hard energy to reach the extra 120. If you aren't doing one cantina refresh per day, this gets a lot harder to break 600, but it's just a thought. However, everyone using their 600 energy per day will generate more guild currency for each player than each player trying to maximize their daily guild coins -- raids give several days worth of guild coins, so doing 3 raids instead of 2 raids in a week is a pretty big difference.

I don't play Pokemon Go but the similarities to CG are eerie:quote:An unannounced app update over the weekend removed the game's malfunctioning tracking feature and simultaneously blocked third-party tools that helped players hunt down Pokémon and calculate their potential strengths. quote:The changes were not welcomed by the community. quote:In response to the changes - and to the lack of communication from developer Niantic - players requested refunds for their in-app purchases and flooded the app with negative reviews.

There was a guy whose sole job it was to approve/veto everything character related that they wanted to do in the game. They were told to change characters outfits because they were 'too nabooish' and asinine poo poo like that. Now what I understand is that they probably could have made ST HAN & IG-88 scoundrels+whatever when the game was first being created, but they hosed up and so those characters were approved as whatever. Now to change it they have to get permission.

They sure as gently caress aren't just going to give that info to clown shoes dev Capital Games and hope they work out so Disney has an actual grown up to take care of that. E: That approval process makes me wonder about (potential cartoon spoilers) Ahsoka being a night sister at first. At one of the recent big events they outlined what her story was going to be before Clone Wars got cancelled and I wonder if at the point when CG first got the approval they were still going off of that and were going to make her affiliated with the Night Sisters in the last season (who by the end of Clone Wars were pretty much all dead).

Here is another anecdote from my friend quote:Also they were clearly the videogame nerd council. Cause we had a cinematic of a low flying tie fighter, and they were like "tie fighters can't do that" and it was pointed out they do it in Rebels and they were like "Yeah Rebels is making a lot of new rules" sarcastically agitated They are literally just nerds! Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerds!! Pablo Hidalgo now has an impressive title, but he was really just a guy that happened to know a lot about star wars and now he is a "Creative / Story Development Executive." A very similar thing happened with 'Game of Thrones' where they had Bryan Cogman as a kind of lore master and he eventually became a writer/producer.

We're losing people in IGD, and are down to a T7 about every three days. If you're interested in giving T7 raids a try, lemme know. We run it at 9 AM Pacific when we have the coins, and it usually runs until about 5 PM Additionally, I know you all want Han shards, but please only attack once per raid.
