Oh that is about the same as she got. Except hers lasted a month. They explained a bunch of the limits on what they can do. Like they can't give you x number of character shards, they can only give you a character at star numbers. We had screen shots of all her accounts and stuff. They built these tools and tabs account was the test environment, we started with a that is impossible right through to ok we can do this with these new tools we just built. At one point she had two accounts and they had her locked out of both lol. I can see why he is angry but there is only so much they can do. I do think they should have doubled everything they gave for credits, droids and gear but at this point I am.just happy she can play again...maybe...soonish.

At this point I can't rage or even be bothered to be annoyed about it. I am just burnt out on it since I was the designated bad guy and had to yell at them a lot.

Someone should point out to them that you earn x credits avweek, something like 4.5m if you complete all your gws and dailies, and shold get credits based on how many weeks your account has been active, not some arbitrary number. I have a feeling they have no idea how little 50 million does in this game.

What I don't get is that all of this stuff has to be stored on a server. I mean, think about it, if the data was stored client-side, hackers would be having a field day with this game, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Therefore, everything HAS TO BE STORED ON A SERVER. If it has to be stored on a server, then how can you possibly not have all of a player's info there? It is just baffling how these guys run their game/backend stuff.

Emperor event stuff is up:

Character - https://swgoh.gg/characters/emperor-palpatine/
Event - https://swgoh.gg/db/events/emperors-demise/

Event is basically rebel version of yoda, you need 5 7* rebels, etc. Looks like 3 million credits from the event, plus 500K from the achievement.

I am now out of training droids and credits, hopefully the event lasts long enough that I can finish leveling up Leia and Akbar

Edit: Oh, also, bunch of stuff, including 45 cantina energy and cheaper cantina refreshes. Details at https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/62693/community-update-8-17-2016#latest

Yea I wasn't planning on needing 7*s so gonna try to power Luke up to 7*, between cheap cantina nodes, the new changes to cantina energy and Guild shipments I think I can do it. Just gotta remember to keep some credits in reserve to move around Mods from my Arena team

Mal mentioned starting the raid, but it's after 10 and still nothing. I'm going to start it, but, as usual, wait until 9 am pst before you do any actual damage. Mal may want to override this, but at a minimum wait for damage until tomorrow.

Edit: the only way I'm getting five 7* characters is if I finish up Luke :/

I had some thoughts on extending raid availability for folks. Basically making the first 3 phases last longer by requiring people to wait once they reach a certain point:

1. Phase 1: Wait until 10 to end your attack, pause once you hit the enrage timer, clear the level, or are down to 2 people.
2. Phase 2: Wait until 11 to end your attack, pause once the door goes back up
3. Phase 3: Same as Phase 2, except wait until 12.

This gives people 3 hours to get in on one of the "money" phases.

Might be too late to implement for this raid but maybe the next one?

Note: all times are pacific, raid starts at 9 for reference.

The last 2 guys she talked to worked for cg games and yes all you information "was" stored locally. They got super nervous when I mentioned that 1 the game uses unity. 2 anyone with a copy of the Android SDK can unpack the apk And change values. 3 there is a massive file difference in size between a guest account and a Google play account.

I read them off the values for the "inaccessible" account from her credits to exactly how many of each gear type she had from a local data file. Then I asked them if they wanted me to fix it since they seemed unable to do so.

Doing all that got me from talking with ea support to dealing directly with cg games. So it's entirely possible that I caused that dude problem and the extra two weeks on tabs account.

Well that was rather easy :v:

I'm afraid I can't give you many tips though as I more or less powered through it, tier 7 took 2 tries.

Team: g8 Ackbar lead, g9 Luke and Hoth Scout, g10 Leia, g11 Lando, all with mostly 1* mods.

Don't think any character is absolutely required, they all bring something unique: Lando massive AoE, Ackbar leader ability and dispel, Leia stealth and high dps, HRS feeds turn meter like mad and Luke, well, just a decent dps and a stun.

If you use 5* mods I'm sure it's doable with far worse geared team.

Bloated kit but I suppose that's okay for the major characters. First impressions - he seems very strong, even without other Empire/Sith around. His basic inflicts a new kind of debuff - Shocked, which prevents healing, buffs and TM gains. He has an aoe stun (70% chance but still crazy) and offense up for the entire team. I think Empire/Sith teams with him leading will definitely become viable.

He needs a speed mod though because he is kinda slow (130ish).

Thanks I am making a list so when tab finally gets the ok to play she can focus on them to save mats and gear by having as many double types as she can get. So far most if the double synergies are on decent characters well except maybe nute lol.

Since his basic shocks it sounds like an interesting counter for attacking taunters. Particularly if you can make an ae team work like jka londo him 88 and vadar

I think that if we are looking at this as a serious Arena team, it has potential. I would start with Emperor, Vader, and RG. Of course, Vader probably needs to be 7* to be competitive. Additionally, you are going to want Vader to be comparatively slow to the rest of your team: whenever an Empire ally inflicts a debuff during their turn they gain 20% turn meter. So, basically, once Vader goes, he gets to AOE and then immediately lightsaber someone, probably killing them. I mean, Emperor adds a debuff, then RG stuns/slows, then Tarkin does his debuffs, and then Vader does his AOE, so, you're going to have a lot of stacked debuffs. I see a lot of extra turns for Vader and Tarkin. Also, they consider TM reduction a debuff, even though it isn't a status effect, but I'm assuming here they mean a negative status effect and that TM won't work. So, this is really good for Emperor, Tarkin, Vader, and RG.

Veers seems pretty bad, as his best debuff is an aoe that has paltry damage and 55% chance to inflict ability block, so you're not running him.

Snowtrooper is a possibility because at max Assault Training: Snowtrooper gains 30% TM whenever any unit is defeated, and other Empire allies gain half that amount. His basic also has a 50% chance to inflict ability block.

Stormtrooper is possibly quite good -- kinda the opposite STH. He has a 50% to remove 10% TM from each enemy when he is damaged while taunting. He also gets 13% defense for each living Empire ally. If his allies are Emperor, Tarkin, Vader, and RG, that's 65% defense, plus like another 30% in set bonuses, and 12% from the one mod. Then, you get +94ish% Protection and he's going to be very beefy. His taunt also gives Empire allies defense up to empire allies (including himself). Now that defense matters, he could be very good.

Unfortunately, and thanks in no small part to Protection, the Sith side of Emperor's abilities just aren't as good, but, if Maul becomes F2P soon (just Kit and Maul left from the original P2W cast - but the recent changes to Kit makes me think he's next), he's worth considering.

Dooku is probably not worth it. The increased potency and ability to stun are maybe worth it, but he's just got kinda weak stats and does so little damage. If you run into a Jedi squad and you already have Emperor and Vader, I don't see there being a problem anyways.

Also, and I hate to say it, but Rey is probably better than any of those 5th options.

tldr: The best Empire/Sith squad right now is probably Emperor (L), Vader, Tarkin, RG, Stormtrooper, with a small possibility that Snowtrooper is better because TM.

Yeah, he just seems really bad. He can remove TM, and with Emperor's potency buff he'll have a decent chance at it, but there are just way better options, so I didn't mention him. His special is that things happen when he takes damage...and he's completely ignorable.

Was just able to beat T7 Emperor Palpatine. My team:

Ackbar - Level 65, G7, abilities all level 5/6
Lando - Level 80, G9, Omega Double down (AOE)
Leia - Level 74, G7, Abilities 6/7/4/6
ST Han - Level 80, G9, Abilities 7/7/5/Max
Hoth Rebel Scout - Level 67, G8, Abilities 5/6/3

The key was to put my Arena team's mods on. One tip if you do this, save some cantina energy and clear the Tenacity mod challenge afterwards, it was much easier (I also swapped in raid Han (L80/5*) for HRS, which made it even easier). 3 Starring it was no problem with all the mods and whatnot, and then you can put them all back. Kinda makes me want to make a full extra set of mods, but that is so much money wasted.

The MVP of the fight was probably lando + AA. Getting two AOE attacks real early made a huge difference, basically killing Vader plus the RGs. I also got a lucky stun of the emperor from HRS early on, which was super helpful.

I looked at him since he is easily farmed but his kit seemed lackluster and he requires insane gear (over 400 stun cuffs at g9 :suicide:). Same with Stormtrooper, only with him it's 400 syringes :v: So that was a no go. Who would you recommend as 5th for Emperor, Vader, Tarkin, Opress squad? Currently leaning towards Snowtrooper.
