I suspect their new work is probably the new raid + stuff for the new movie. I wonder if they really have abandoned ships though, would be neat if they expanded the game to have a squad of ships to fight with too.

I would actually prefer more things to do with the characters we already have instead of a whole new grind. Mods were bad enough :(

Are there any characters with droid synergy besides other droids, Poggle, and the Jawa Engineer? I'm really liking those three bundle robots and I think I'll work on them for a while. (I know Jawas are Light side though so obviously that won't do for the no-mixed-teams battles.)

Saw the little $5 Greedo pack was about to expire so I went ahead and did it just to save some grinding on the Scoundrels you need for that heist stuff. So Chewie, Greedo, IG-88, slowly plinking away at trooper Han, and it looks like I'm two Cantina wins away from being able to grind Lando coins.

Do any group tags besides Scoundrels, Jedi and Rebels have special challenge type things where you gotta have 'em to do it, or are the rest just for fun and group synergies?

Current one attempt rule benefits the following people:
-Turn meter manipulation squad that plays during P1, allows putting up 2-2.5 million damage on the raid board.

Current one attempt rule punishes the following people:
-Anyone who collects toons rather than maxing out a specific squad
-Anyone who is newer and only has an arena squad powered up (not turn meter focused)
-Anyone who doesn't have mod challenges unlocked (no speed)
-Anyone who misses P1
-Anyone who begins attempt in P4


The raid has multiple phases with different mechanisms which means one attempt in one phase is not equal to one attempt in another phase. If someone plays one attempt in P4 they are lucky to get 50k. If they play one attempt in P2-P3 they are lucky to get 500k. If they play one attempt in P1 they can get over 1M.

I don't care about the raid aside from just wanting to smack the rancor and get shards. I don't care about mods, or spreadsheets or builds. I just like throwing my toons at the rancor. Each of my attempts earns me like 50k damage.

I previously suggested a 12hr no damage window followed by a FFA thereafter where there is no restriction as to how you play the raid. Anyone with a P1 turn meter squad will still come out on top but other people with more toons will get in more attempts. In my opinion this allows people who have many toons but miss P1 or don't have a TM squad to actually put up similar numbers to those who have a P1 specific team.

I think this is more fair but other players disagree.

If it becomes a free for all it will end within 30 minutes and incentivizes dumping as much damage as possible and ending the raid to secure your position. This will basically leave many people's position up to whatever inane sorting method the game uses for ranking 0 damage people.

I'm far from a 2 million damage guy but I can throw up 400k on p2 or 200k autoing p4 and that looks to be about where most people fall generally.

You put down 1 million in today's raid. I'm going to guess that wasn't 20 attacks?

No, other people won't get in more attempts. If all of the P1s went full out, P2 would be finished at the same time as P1, because we can all do 15-20% P2 damage in our first attack. Since P2 doesn't actually start until someone completes P1 and then dies or backs out, P2 would basically explode before anyone had a chance to jump into it. Then, everyone without a P1 squad would be jumping into their first attack while the P1s would be starting their second attack on P3, which would also be done in about 10 minutes. We would then throw our next 3 squads at P4, and the whole raid would be over within 15 minutes of P1 being beat. I fail to see how this is more fair.




Also, I'm seeing more people want to join a good guild. This is from the guild spreadsheet post:

imantor posted:

lots of unguilded goons on the spreadsheet. How do we go about getting hooked up?

Basically, keep spamming in here. If QGJ is also full, it may be time to get GGA up and running and active again. I heard there were still some very not-tryhards keeping that guild going, so as long as there's a guild leader or officer that wants to start accepting people over there, that'd be cool. Also, they probably don't check the forums every day, so post here a lot, or start sending them SA PMs (look up their usernames in the spreadsheet).

GGA goon here, activity during the raids has died off and only like 3 people are doing enough damage for us to complete it. I'm still barely doing 100k damage each attack. I'd love to see more activity but I'm not entirely sure who is in charge of accepting members.

So...you want 40 people to try to have this open either on their phone or computer for 2 hours? What about the people that can't participate in P1? They now have to wait until 11 to get in on the raid?

I get that you're frustrated and want things changed, but I haven't seen any suggestions that actually make sense. If you want to come up with some options and put a poll in here, then organize everyone in game to actually log in and take the poll, be my guest. If you somehow come up with a solution that's better than what we are doing, and a majority of our guild likes it, cool. Until then, I'm honestly not going to bother with this. I'm done spending my time trying to figure out a raid deal that works for everyone, because every time it comes down to me, and I spend a bunch of time listening to everyone and trying to get people to actually come to a consensus on what works best, and then everyone disagrees anyways. So yeah, either do all that for me, or I don't care.

Current: fair because only a couple people can post 2M damage. Same people win every time. We can't change because the top is very concerned about fairness for those at the bottom.

FFA: unfair because more people would post 2M damage. Different people fill up board based on chance.

I guess I'll just get on the P1 train since the status quo is too strong.

Edit - i honestly don't care. The bad game design makes this stupid raid impossible to be made fair.

Unfair because the people posting 2 mil will now be posting 5 mil, the people posting 1 mil will post 2 mil, and so on. The people at the bottom who have exactly one squad (like one arena team) get the biggest poo poo end of the stick because they can only attack once. The only way to make this fair is for people to voluntarily lower their damage. Since I actually just got the second furnace that I need to finish out Wiggs, I will be doing this anyways, and I would recommend that anyone who has been leading raid dps for awhile do this too. Basically unenforceable.

Greetings Hologamers,
Today we are announcing our next major update, PVP Tournaments! This update will be launching in stages over the next two weeks.
PVP Tournaments will have players battling each other to climb the ranks for prizes that are only available during a tournament. Each tournament will only run for a limited number of days, so be sure to get your best PVP squad ready to battle it out!
What can you do to prepare? Broaden your collection, buff up your characters, and hone your strategies!
The tournaments feature will only be available for players level 30 and higher. Stay tuned for additional information on this update next week.
And one more thing: in addition to this update, the development team has already been hard at work on our biggest update yet which will feature (wait for it)…
Ships! *drops mic*

Way to be super generic on this...

I know it would make it so there are four rebel/scoundrel characters, but they should remove the "Clone Wars" from Chewie's name and make him a rebel. That would probably make it easier on newer players by giving them a rebel at the start, too.
