Hughlander posted:Not even EA would release a major barely tested feature on Thanksgiving. Good point. I would expect today, tomorrow, or next Monday then as the most likely days. That said, they have released big things before the weekend with major bugs and just been like "Have fun! see you next week"

Malgrin posted:The only reason I think this week could happen is because people are saying vague things. Given GW credits and tournament this weekend, next Monday or Thursday makes a lot more sense for ships release, and next Thursday in particular because of the anniversary thing. I have no connection to the swgoh team, however, if I were a betting man  tuesday

The servers were down a for a while, and when they came up we got a mail that we would be getting another 150K raid tickets when the guild leader logs in, so I kicked off a t5 rancor to use up the tickets we do have right now so they don't go to waste. Do whatever you want with it, but please try to keep it up for a few hours I guess.

Just hit level 83 and got a big popup going "Level up your fleet commanders!" with Ackbar, Tarkin and Windu on it. Nothing further from it, but it's.. there? Did they intend for it to show up so soon? I assume it'll be that they are the "Leader" of the group in their Capital ship (Ackbar had a Moncal behind him, Tarkin an ISD and Windu one of the Clone Wars ships) and then a squadron? Like for Ackbar, Wedge, Biggs, Luke(?) for Red Squadron? Maybe Han? No clue what Tarkin'll get. Tie Fighter Pilot and Vader? Boba Fett? Emperor Palpatine on a space scooter? iGestalt fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Nov 17, 2016 |

They announced the fleet commanders a couple of weeks back. Supposition at the moment is that Ackbar will buff Rebels, Tarkin Imperials and Windu Jedi (and maybe clones?) Not much information about how any of it is going to work though.

Node 9 of GW today was... EP (lead), RG, QGJ, JKA, Lando. For the record, this is why I hate GW. To add insult to injury, my node 12 was also not a chump squad, so I couldn't finish it today. Node 9 took all of my reserves to get past so I could preserve my a-team for node 11.

So, purely through bronziums and free GW shards, I've got a Jedi Guardian at five stars, 18/85. Should I farm her the rest of the way? I know she's terrible, but I'd only be farming a little bit for her.

She, and she's now easily the worst hero in the game now that Ugnaught has a use in AAT. Also, unless you have something you need right now, you should save your resources.

She's a Cathar, iirc. It's a character from The Old Republic MMO if I had to guess. Although no such character exists, but nor does Jedi Guardian. Just generic class / race combo from it?

Reddit has a giant data dump from the latest update, tons of info about ships in there: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PJQ2FYduC3sS-J4bxt6VXZ3tpgRLEq-L1gqycjChcjg/edit?usp=drive_web Summary from a dude on reddit: quote:So, it's everything we currently have in the game, but with ships.

Nute Gunray as a pilot. Is his ship a gigantic spacestation or some poo poo? That'd rule. Massive time sink doesn't sound good. Doubling down on the game, eeeeeh.

iGestalt posted:Nute Gunray as a pilot. Is his ship a gigantic spacestation or some poo poo? That'd rule. His mention is tiny, and it looks like it might be a clue that he is an upcoming fleet commander: NUTEGUNRAY_CAPITALSHIP_BUFF_TOAST RUTHLESS EFFICIENCY The other 2 mentions of CAPITALSHIP are for ackbar and Tarkin's fleet commander ships. Oddly, there is no entry of that kind for Mace's ship, but there are other mentions of him, so I am sure he is coming, perhaps they were originally planning on Nute? Or maybe they are going to make a fleet commander for every faction and he is going to be the scoundrel one?

mushroom_spore posted:She's I think that's what you meant to say. Chilichimp posted:Double? Yeah, I think the currencies will compete. A better way to put it is that you have twice as much to farm, not that you need to spend twice as much time farming. Dr. Venture posted:Is he cool and awesome? I've never heard of him. Go read the Thrawn Trilogy (AKA Heir to the Empire) by Timothy Zahn. It's not just a good Star Wars series, it's a really, really good series. It follows the main characters from 4/5/6 a few years after the end of 6. Grand Admiral Thrawn is the last of the Grand Admirals, a special class of Admiral, and the only alien to ever receive the title "Grand Admiral." Also, (although I haven't watched this season of Rebels at all), he's in Season 3 of Rebels, so back in the Star Wars canon

The Thrawn books are really really good, no bullshit. And while we're on the subject of books read Shatterpoint. Mace owns and that book is the reason.
