I agree on the gear reqs, but again, the new chars > old chars is something that is in 100% of these games. If they ONLY fix old characters and don't give you heavy reason to invest (buy) the new characters, the game dies since whales already had everyone maxed anyway. And to be fair, they DO rework old guys: JKA's overhaul made him not only top-tier, but helped against the dodge-heavy meta that was out there at the time.

Yeah, they do rework old characters, but it always seems to be in service of making them the new OP guy. JKA is actually an example of what I was getting at. Instead of gradually toning down dodge rates, they threw in someone who crapped all over the previous regime and introduced a new one. Now, instead of gradually toning down AoE characters so they're in line with the rest of the roster, they're lurching to some new (Empire centric?) meta. I get the impression they think the meta shift that brings balance to the game is always right around the corner, if only they could introduce a character who is just overpowered enough.

I don't agree that new characters have to be head and shoulders above the old ones to keep whales whaling. Introducing new game modes that require particular rosters to get people to branch out can have a similar effect without frustrating the player base (to their credit, they're doing this already). Also it's Star Wars, people are going to want to collect all the characters as long as they're not absolute dogshit.

My gripes about shoretrooper's gear requirements may ultimately be irrelevant. He's supposed to be the new PvP tourney reward character, all but ensuring I will never get him.

Well buffing is always preferable to nerfing, as much as the AoE poo poo sucks it's too late to do a whole lot about it without severely pissing off the player base yet again as loads of people have invested time and money into Lando Palp Wiggs etc. CG has been burned several times with this game already over nerfs and general dumbassery like the initial mod release and is in a danger area (IMO) where another big change can tank the game.

Holy poo poo tie pilot has 164 speed....he's going to be loving unstoppable. I'm going to start saving all of my currencies (except GW) so I can pour whatever he costs into him. Knowing CG they'll just put him in Cantina Battles anyways, but, can't hurt to try.

As for Shoretrooper, I would highly recommend farming a droid/jawa squad asap, pretty much Nebit, JE, B2, 88, 86. They should counter him pretty handily.

Alternatively I do think that Emperor lead squads should do well against him...but you definitely need a debuffer so that you can apply shock to everyone else.

That droid squad was my first thought for a PvZ defense squad.

I've submitted my name to the guild sheet, and sent a request to the leaders, but I haven't been excepted to either open guild. That may be due to me only starting to play about a week ago and only being level 43, which if that's the case I understand. I just want my leveling-up guild contributions to go to someone.

We still have plenty of spots, look me or any other member up in the spreadsheet. I don't think you need to be accepted as a friend to request a guild invite, just make a friend request and then a guild request right after. Be sure to post you in game name here so we know it's not some rando.

It doesn't appear that one can request a guild invite with just sending an ally request. I wasn't able to request a spot in QGJ after sending an ally request to Doji Sekushi. Also I tried to send a PM to him but he is not open to receive PMs.

Hey, so, not really any one thing, but, I'm getting ready to move over to another guild. I'll still be around here and post things and whatever, but, I recently found out I have a friend in a legit guild...so who wants to be the new leader? Also, I've sometimes regretted joining pubbie guilds, so, I may want to come back (to this or QGJ - although still not as guild leader). So...who wants to run the ship?

Okay, the change they made to power levels is amazing. My arena team is now 44,777 power, and as a result my last 2 GWs had not just node 12 bugged, but 11 as well. They take about 5 seconds each.

:unsmith:

e: I didn't snap a screenshot because Lando ended it so fast, but I'm pretty darn sure node 12 somehow had a TIE Fighter Pilot on the enemy team. The only way to get him is as a login bonus, so it shouldn't be possible. I'm crazy, right?

Not at all, node 12 is CPU generated characters and he is legit in the game so he can be there. He also can generate in the borrow ally list (with 3* and level 1 abilities - but still, try him out because he's nuts even so)

Can I get an opinion on the viability of this team for the crit chance rank 3 mod challenge?

Lando G10
IG-88 G10
ST Han G10
Boba G8
Cad Bane G8

I know the last two aren't great, but for opportunity cost/ease of farming they made sense. I usually end the first round with Cad almost dead from AOEs and it goes downhill from there. G8 isn't great but I don't want to spend anything of value on Cad or Boba if I can help it, and my line for furnaces and cuffs is pretty long. I'd like to be able to 3* this but I'm not sure it's likely with this group? Some changes I could make:

-farm up Chewie instead of Cad? He'd be tougher at least, but I don't know how well I could handle the last round without even the chance of stunning Han.
-Mods. I don't have this team fully modded out, I've been spending cantina energy on shards. Even with a full set of semi-appropriate 5* health mods, would this team be viable?

That was my exact team. Secret to those I think is just move rank 15 mods onto the chars, beat it and remove them. If you do, do the rebel one with londo and sth still modded up

Not sure how close you are, but I had 6* Raid Han Solo on my team, which helps a whole lot, because his stun every round means one less AOE hitting your team usually.
