two_step posted:Someone on Reddit is claiming that they changed raid damage, so that a bunch of people all clearing P1 will all count their damage. If so, we need to be a lot more strict about damage caps or something. I'm having trouble parsing this because I'm dumb, but do you mean that when you clear p1, it auto applies the damage straight away instead of waiting for your team to die? I know a lot of people in IGD solo p1, but idle in p2 to let more people get in on the ground floor. Wouldn't murdering the gently caress out of P1, but idling with the captain at say 1% health not still be viable?

No, the way it used to work was that everyone's damage on a given phase only counted for that phase. So if 2 people did p1 and then 10% of p2, we would be 20% done with p2, but one persons extra p1 damage wouldn't do anything other than score them points. The claim is that this is no longer true, and in the above situation we would end up way further into p2

Oh god that would gently caress up our raids if we didn't have the 12 hour zero damage. Hell that's a simple idea and it took 2+ weeks just for everyone to not gently caress it up. I don't even want to try to explain "just send one dude in, yes we know he does damage.". Blame mal that I'd our new motto. Fix your game mal!

Luckily we don't have to worry about this because it's not accurate and the raid is still calculating damage like normal. This was all just a cautionary tale about listening to some dumbdick on reddit.

Just ran into the team that I think I need to build next in GW: Rex / Fives / Aayla / Sun Fac / Anakin A total nightmare to beat with any AoE team. Had to throw a full empire team at it first, then was able to kill off the remaining guys with Wiggs / STH / Rey. Wouldn't want to run into it in Arena, would be a giant pain to beat it. Time for me to stop working on mods and get to work on Aayla, especially for the upcoming tournament.

So it turns out the new tournament doesn't use the same player pools as arena. I'm from an April shard and being placed with people who, judging by their number of pvp battles completed (3,000+) have been playing since launch. So much for that.

I'm not sure how pools are supposed to work for this, because it's rolling out to different regions at different times. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/70036/first-pvp-tournament-start-times#latest There will be 3 time zones for the tournament to ensure equal opportunities for participation: Asia/Australia/Pacific: Sunday Oct 2nd 6pm PDT Europe: Monday Oct 3rd midnight (0 am) PDT North/South America: Monday Oct 3rd 7am PDT

Yeah, after seeing that I assume players are pooled by region. Which still sucks for us late starters. It's a whale's game anyway - absolutely zero chance I will ever acquire the Shoretrooper. On the plus side, chances are no-one else on my shard will either, so I won't have to deal with it in Arena.

That's really negative for not even seeing the end of the first event. For all you know you get 5 shards just for doing a single fight.

Only the top 100 get a full shoretrooper, not sure where the cutoff for shards are, probably top 1000. Note that appears to be of the whole freaking region, so getting anywhere near unlocking him is going to be whaletastic (and I am a small whale in this game)

It says 5 gems per character so it should only cost 25 gems to use your squad twice. Either way, the idea is nice, whales will always get an advantage, just like in regular arena, don't stress it too much.

Since this doesn't seem to be live for a majority of people yet, here's some screenshots to show the rewards:   And yes, it basically boils down to an acution of "who will spend the most crystals". The game doesn't work on if you can beat them then you take their space like arena, its points based. I get 12 points for killing an enemy, and 24 points for my character surviving. You can pay some crystals to use a character more than ocne a day. Whoever has the most points at the end of 3 days wins the biggest reward.

Instead of Chirpa you can run Ewok Scout, Chewie, Tusken Raider, or Rex. He isn't critical, he just gives you one more shot at resetting the Rancor's TM with Teebo.

There's also diminishing returns on points accumulated. I've fought 4-5 fights and now I only get 9 points for a kill and 21 points for a survivor. Biggest wallet wins a Shoretrooper!

Ok, there is a trick for climbing the ladder more efficiently -- attack later in the day. By attacking later in the day, you'll have more bad teams ahead of you, so you can use your really bad teams (well, like 6* unmodded level 80s) to win your first couple battles. I've attacked a couple times with middling teams, and won, and now I'm getting fewer points. I'm not sure if this is based on your current total points, your current rank, or number of attacks. If it's the second option, then waiting to attack will also be the most beneficial, because you'll have further to climb. But really, this event comes down to who wants to drop $$. It's pretty stupid, but whales gonna whale.

Well, I spent 50 crystals today to get myself back into top 500 of the "tournament." Those rewards are a pretty decent step up from top 1k, so that's my goal, but I won't break the bank to do it. Also, I'm back to running AA, Wiggs, STH, Palp. I miss Lando's crits, but he isn't as good without AA (was running Lando instead of AA before this). My STH caps at 198 speed right now, which isn't fast enough to hit top 10 without AA. This change has pushed me back into the top 10 again. Wedge/Biggs go first in every non-AA matchup, followed by STH (except a couple dickwads who are running 230 speed STH).

I've dropped Palp from my lineup because I was sick of his inconsistency with the aoe stun. Now back to using QGJ - the dispel helps with STH and RG (several teams in my top 20 run both) and he brings the damage buff as well. Wedge/Biggs/STH/QGJ/Lando. Now that my Wedge is finally 7* G10 I am climbing back into the top 10 again. This is on a soft April shard though, none of this beta/launch bullshit. Having to use AA over Lando is a real testament to how hosed up the speed meta is right now.

Been playing a month or two, I'm slowly getting there. Here's my current status. Following OP advice, I can now beat the Galaxy War most days, but I'm just this last week starting to meet some real gently caress You teams that are a huge difficulty spike and wipe my A-squad out. I hover around the 290-400 region in squad arena, depending on when in the day I do it. (or if I remember before realising poo poo it's quarter-to-midnight and I still have 4 fights left argh). As soon as I break too much into the 200's though, out come the gently caress You teams, of course. I'm no whale. My A-squad is Phasma lead, RG, Daka (for those sweet, sweet stuns), Genosian Soldier and either Lumi/Talia/JediConsular, or my very recently acquired QGJ if I feel I can do without a decent healer. So yeah, if you were me, whadda ya plan be? An aside: Let's indulge our if we were the devs and we didn't give no fucks how would we troll the playerbase fantasies here's mine. Introduce JarJar as a character but make him one of the better ones in the game. Not essential, but very much worth having. Give him especially annoying animations and sounds. Make him only acquirable on accounts that have not had any money spent on them. When used in a fight he earns a special currency which can be redeemed in a shop that sells cosmetic only items, with some effort made to make them all look pretty cool. A month or two after this make those same items (not JarJar though) available for, literally, thousands of real-money currency so the big whales that want to can also have them, and make a load of money for the game in the process. Make SURE they are cool looking items with absolutely no gameplay effect, just cool-looking. Then after that, make one of JarJar's very top, most expensive pieces of gear have a property that enables these cosmetic items to be able to be disabled by the player using JarJar, so they can't see them if they don't want to. Watch the wales react with a pint and some popcorn and then make an official devpost on the forums to the effect of "it's only cosmetic, you can still see them, and it has no effect on the gameplay so stop being babies." Thank you for reading the toilet musings of an envious plankton.

Now back to using QGJ - the dispel helps with STH and RG (several teams in my top 20 run both) and he brings the damage buff as well. Wedge/Biggs/STH/QGJ/Lando. Yeah, the speed is pretty BS. My problem with QGJ is that against faster STH/Palp teams, my QGJ gets stunned 70% of the time. This means that in 70% of battles, I give their team an overwhelming advantage that I usually can't come back from, especially if Lando gets to attack twice. Running AA lead Wiggs, Palp, STH, I usually lead with a Wedge AOE, Biggs calls in on Lando (usually) for insta-death (usually), then STH taunts, and Palp shocks STH. I've got about 70% potency without Palp lead, so unless they've poured a lot of tenacity into STH (they usually pump speed and potency), I get a shock on STH and am then guaranteed a win. If their STH goes first, I'm unlikely to ever win. Doesn't matter if I run QGJ or not, I just can't win. Also, the extra tenacity from AA's leader isn't useless in this situation. Cactus posted:My A-squad is Phasma lead, RG, Daka (for those sweet, sweet stuns), Genosian Soldier and either Lumi/Talia/JediConsular, or my very recently acquired QGJ if I feel I can do without a decent healer. Once you start hitting Gear level 7 heroes, healing becomes significantly less important. I mean, gear 8 is the big milestone for protection, but gear 7 is when you start getting some. Additionally, there are a bunch of heroes with heal block. With the meta as it is right now, I would recommend farming STH (arena) and Lando (Cantina battles). Once you get those two, I'd work on 88 (arena) and a couple other scoundrels -- but just get them good enough to do credit heist. This is super important. I cannot stress enough how important credit heist is in this stupid game. I think the max level credit heist requires 4* heroes to participate, so you really just need to get whomever to 4*. STH and Lando will pretty much carry you through the event. I think I run Lando, STH, 88, Dengar, Chewie. Cad Bane is also easy to star up, but absolutely sucks. If you just need filler he is a lot easier than Dengar. From there, round out your arena squad with Ackbar (arena), Wedge (cantina battles), and Biggs (GW). Biggs isn't all that worth it until you also have Wedge, so in the mean time finish out Phasma, Lumi, Teebo, etc. I'm running 4 rebels right now in my top 10 arena squad -- the only people I lose to are whales that spent a lot of money obtaining mods. Speed is the only stat on mods that actually matters. I mean, crit damage helps with the murdering, but speed is more important. Lol at the trolling. You should post that to Reddit though...
