Yeah - a rotation could be good although more work for Dave, etc. I think it'd be worth trying to find out where everybody is, and seeing how many people are effected by each? Like, if we have 2 GMT people, 3 GMT+1, and the rest are PST and eastern.. Then tough luck for us Euros. The system we have now does work and work well, though. Just a bit lovely for a potential minority.

I'd argue he is more useful than QGJ now.

iGestalt posted:Would be nice if we could find a better middleground. As mentioned in guild chat, we currently have a 4AM start and then a 4Am damage time which can make it quite hard to get decent damage on something. Here's the problem: We have both Euro and Asian time zone goons. It's impossible to accommodate everyone with a single raid time. Alternating morning and evening start times was the solution for the Rancor fight. The tank fight added a complication that p1 is terrible and nobody wants to do it, so p2 generally had a pretty random start time, and lots of people would miss out on putting damage on the board. My solution was to allow p1 to be cleared immediately, and then alternating the "real" damage rounds between morning and evening. I don't want to start alternating the p1 start as well, things are confusing enough. I'm open to suggestions, but please keep the above in mind.

Regardless, I think the approach you've taken is the best possible solution here. Sorry if I came over as nitpicking, I honestly can't think of a better approach to this right now.

Definitely a must-get for raids, but Boba is probably better for Arena.

Well, I'm less than a month out (50 shards so ~25 days) from GK, so I'm starting my gear grind (and it's pretty ridiculous). Here are the important (mostly) purple bits to getting G11. Farmable: 80 Mk3 Holo 20 MK8 Blastech 20 Mk2 Zaltin 200 Mk3 Stun cuff 150 Mk5 Stun Gun 50 Mk5 Detonator 50 Mk4 Chedak 50 Mk4 Carbanti 450 Mk3 Carbanti 60 Mk4 Keypad 40 Mk3 Caller 50 Mk10 Binocs 50 Mk6 Detonators Raid: 50 Mk6 discs 50 Mk5 callers 50 Mk11 Blastech 50 Mk4 Holo 50 Mk6 Detonator Fortunately, most of his non-purple grind is really easy. A few mk1 holos and mk3 blastechs, but he doesn't need crazy amounts of fabritech pads or mk4 keypads or anything like that. I'm concerned that a month is not enough time for the non-raid stuff though....fortunately my guild is good at donating (on basically anything but mk3 callers, stun cuffs, and mk 5 stun guns). If I can request every day, that's another ~125 Mk3 Carbantis, in addition to the approximately 200 I'll get from challenges (I estimate 3*5 per day, so 45 per week). I'm only doing 120 energy's worth of hard missions, and one of those gets mk5 detonators (have enough anyways though), while the other gets stun cuffs and chedaks. That's 3x25 sims so at 1/5 I'm looking at 15 pieces. Woo. That leaves me 495 energy/day to spend on the tough stuff. 495/5/10 ~ 10 purple items per day, so 250 purple items. I'll just have to hope for some lucky raid drops I guess. At the very least, I can spread out my farming a little bit and go straight for G10. Unfortunately, all 450 MK3 Carbantis are needed for G10, but fortunately, none of the stun cuffs are needed until G11. e: I went through my gear, here's what I need. I should be able to have everything farmed for G10, just means I'll actually have to farm some Mk3 Carbantis, which is stupid. With Rancors every other day (I generally place 11-20 most days, and top 10 once a week or so), I should have those MK5 callers in time (or a whole piece, wouldn't that be nice?). So, yup, guess I'll just farm Carbantis for the next week and see where I am after that. G10: 40 Mk3 Holo 80 Mk5 Stun Gun 427 Mk3 Carbanti 32 Mk5 callers Max: 26 mk7 shield 173 mk3 cuff 16 mk4 chedak 20 mk3 Holo Malgrin fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Trip report: Slave One sucks rear end. Extremely slow, never seen his 1 multi attack in like 5 battles (seriously, must be bugged or something), squishy as hell, low damage, his ultimate starts on CD (most battles he won't live to use it). My Boba is g10 all 5* mods so it can't be that, either. Still, I'll keep using him cause, well, it's an iconic ship !

I know Fett's better now, and have him at lvl1 6* Can't get Dengar shards in my tiny inactive guild, Never finished maxing Chewy, And Cad Bane's leader ability looks useful, Zone of Danger posted:Pretty good damage if you can get 2+ target locks up at the same time for the crew skill. I also run Fives which compounds things a bit since he has sorta the same mechanic on his crew skill. Got my rear end kicked by 5's fighter someone already had at 4 or 5* yesterday, that ship looks pretty strong, feel like it'll go nicely with ahsoka and consular and im keeping an eye out for it now.

That seems weird, since Slave I's stats have him as being slightly bulkier and faster then the Geonosian Soldier's ship, which is pretty decent already. Maybe Slave I is more of a late-bloomer or something?

Clones are only recently available to F2P (you joined at the right time if that's what you wanna do). Fives can be had from Cantina shop, Clone Sergeant can be had from hard modes (start grinding those out daily now). Cody, Rex, and Echo are all in the Guild shop/Fleet shop. It'll be a long grind, but a full cody-lead squad is definitely doable. Everyone here will tell you to focus on a rebel squad, and in the long run, I think it's the right move. It's not REALLY broken until you can throw wedge in there at 60+, but there's no reason not to have your rebels ready to gently caress.

ZenVulgarity posted:Is Tarkin any good? He'd basically be my second four star I have. Tarkin is crummy as a character and widely considered the worst of the three fleet commanders currently in the game (I think), though this may have more to do with the fact that there's only one widely available Empire ship at the moment. Ships are dumb. You didn't ask about ships, but I'm using the opportunity to spout off about them. They're a lovely reskin of the base game with capital ships sitting on the sidelines and the ability to prolong your misery by calling in reinforcements. It's a shame they're required to get essential ability materials. I'm guessing they rushed this feature out the door, though heck if I know why. It took them so long to rejigger the tank raid that I don't much faith in them making ships more fun anytime soon. Helpful hint: you can back out of ship arena matches and still get credit towards the daily activity, same as with squad arena matches.

It is more important than arena (because it enables you to do well in Arena), more important than mods. The sooner you can get the millions of credits every week, the sooner you can level and star up your dudes. Also, I think we have one inactive in IGD, so I will kick them now and someone can join. Just post here if you request in, so we know it is a goon.

I came to the same conclusion regarding scoundrels a few weeks ago. I made them my 2nd priority after finishing rebels (for now). So I already had STH & Lando at 7*. Boba is cool and was pretty easy to star up given he's this month's feature. I added IG-88 from squad arena since droids are cool and Cad Bane from GW because even though he's not great, he's at least farmable. I have those last 2 to 5* now & purple and I'm clearing tier 3 even though I lose at least one of ig-88/cad bane doing so.

Tarkin is sadly not at all good no matter what mods you give him. Which is a pity since offense down + slow on rebels would shut down Wiggs nicely...but there is no way to make him faster than them.two_step posted:This is not true at higher levels/stars.
