I can make all your dreams come true.
Things I noticed: now five characters in the Guild Store. Rex and Shaman were among them.

QGJ: Do we restart Tank raid or kill this one?

The initial word I'm hearing is that the tank raid is substantially easier now, so despite being half way through p3, I suggest we restart.

Should I save all my friend points for those tourneys then? That's the only use for them besides the common packs, right?

Also thanks for the help on units, I'm on my way to at least unlocking a few of the good ones at least.

The only valid use of Ally points is squad tournaments.

I restarted it, it is sooo much easier now. 700k is 4.5% of p1, and was easy to get with my wiggs team.

Blowing ally points on bronziums is allegedly the best way to get shards for the shard shop. You end up pulling so many characters that you likely already have at 7*, and you get some useful low level gear to boot. It's also much more fun and satisfying than participating in the tournaments, especially if you don't have the hundreds of thousands of points saved up that you need to place at the top.

I keep a reserve of 50k for tournament participation and dump everything above that into bronziums.

Right, I'm not saying don't participate in the tourneys, I'm saying that if you don't have the hundreds of thousands of ally points (or the time, now that I think about it) to dump in there to hit the top ranks, you still get mileage out of spending APs on bronziums. I use the 50k reserve to place somewhere in the middle ranks and call it a day, because there's no way I'm going to claw my way to the top.

So, I didn't notice that, but you all remember the pack that gives you some Bistan or SRP shards and some U-Wing blueprints? It costs 50 AP and you can do it I think once a day.

The tank shot didn't do 99999 for once, only 9987. That's an amazing change. Do you think it's time for Heroic?

Nah, just gonna have to put it on a 12-hour warm-up time like Rancor.

edit:

Anyone else notice that the guild shop gear now only comes in 2's and costs 600 guild currency?

I feel like this is a step backwards, am I wrong? If I mathed this correct, that's about twice the amount they used to cost per item.

I propose that we do the same 12 hour no damage thing that we're doing with the Rancor. The difference will be that once damage is up, you're not limited to one team. Perhaps we might need to limit it to one team per phase, since it's a lot easier to rack up high scores in p2 and p4.

Edit: 660 currency for 2 is the same as 1650 for 5, which is where we were before. It's more inconvenient though.

Yup on the aat raid.

New guild shop stuff is actually a lot better. There were times where I just needed 5 of some item and waited days for it to switch away from 10 or 20 of that item. I would have preferred they make it always 5, but this is about as good

Is the 12 hour moratorium on damage for raids so that little guys like me can get hits in? Or is there another reason and I need to avoid using my 50k dmg attempt also?

So I super hosed up last night and bought the $10 pack with the Shoretrooper before realizing that you just got shards for him and not a full unlock. Now I have 20/50 shards for him and really nothing to show for it! Am I boned until the next time this dude goes on sale or will there be a chance to get shards for him somehow? :smith:

I think the reason we killed it so fast was because we started a night raid and then got a character refresh. It should stay up longer if we start it earlier. I wonder if we'd even be able to finish it without the character refresh? I think we had 40 people participate last night.

The reason is so that everyone in every time zone gets a chance to at least get some reward. The original problem with the rancor was that it died so quickly people were missing out. If you're going to do actual damage, feel free to wait until the damage phase starts and then do your best, you're not required to do a zero damage attack first.

Note that quite a few people (me for example) now post zero damage because they have a 7* raid han, and want to give other folks a shot at getting the top rewards.

In regards to the AAT, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of limiting everyone to one attack per phase. This could encourage people to work on getting the various teams needed so we can move to doing heroic.

He'll be back somehow. He's so meta-centric that it's likely they'll add him to one of the in-game shops before too long.

Agreed, if someone just waits til say p2 to unload they can rack up 7-8 mil pretty easily. Might be tough to enforce at first but everyone should be on the honor system and just remember that even if you get top 10 now instead of top 3, you're gonna get gear at 3 times the rate so it more than makes up for it.

While I like this idea, there's a problem, no one is going to want to do P1 (I think). In P1, an amazing attack is 300-500k (heroic). In P2, 3, and 4, an equivalent attack is 1-2 million. I would suggest that you get one attack for P2, 3, and 4, and everyone should try to field at least a mediocre P1 team.

You're right that the damage difference is huge, but the raid goes so fast now that only the most selfish won't throw a team or two at p1. And the overall easiness of the raid now lets Rebels be ballers in any phase, so no excuses that you don't have a p1-capable team.

Oh whoops, I should work on my reading comprehension. I read that as one attack per raid.

So I started Saturday, almost a full week somehow.

Getting quite far in my light/dark stuff, picked up biggs from bronziums luckily and almost will have Lando, hopefully by tomorrow.

The arena on my shard is pretty good, max level guys are around 45-46 and I'm 40 right now, pretty good in the ranking too. Can you guys help try to min/max my current arena squad with the available crew I have? want to try to get into sub 100's if I can.

this is my current arena team: Luke, RG, Biggs, Jedi Consular, Qui Gon

I saw the recommended pick ups a few pages back so im working on that with getting STH / Lumi / Lando out when I can farm it.

I'm going to kick off another tank raid in a few minutes. Based on feedback I think we will be going with the following:

1. 12 Hour no damage setup - Same as the rancor. Get a no damage poke in so you're on the board when the raid ends. This is not required if you plan on doing damage.
2. One squad per phase - Please limit your attacks to one squad per phase, where hopefully you'll be working on the various "best" squads for each phase.
3. We'll make adjustments as we see how things play out. I want this to be as fair as possible and to avoid drama.
4. If you have concerns or suggestions, post them in the thread, it's possible people will miss stuff in chat.

Working on a Rebel squad for the Palp event too, Lando's going to be 7* I hope, and then I'll be tackling Wedge.
