Davethulhu posted:I entered last night around 9 pacific, but didn't fight my first battle until this morning. I started at rank ~4500, and got above 100 before I had to start using my arena team. I'm around 30 now with 180k currency. With my finish last time, I'm assured of unlocking vader tie, but the higher I finish the easier it'll be to get it to 5* next time around. I'd have to finish top 10 to get it 5* this time, which is probably not going to happen. I absolutely need 5* this time around so I can start earning Zetas (I'm so close), and for that I need top 10, but I'm aiming for 4th so that I can get 6*. I've seen much worse shards than the one I'm on, so it's possible, right now top 5 is ~5k points, and with 2.5 hours left, I can probably climb that high. I'm at 3450 points and I've used my worst two teams (W2 is almost to 1k/hero/refresh) and right now I'm running S3 (droids) at 500 per. PS: I have 470k of my initial ~530k remaining. I'm feeling pretty good, given that I haven't touched Empire or Wiggs, and have two untouched teams that are fairly decent if I put my best mods on them (JKA and Phasma leads).

Does either IGD/QGJ have space so I can suck up raid coins? Currently lounging around in GGA and have hit a gear wall. I was able to put together a pretty good rebel team (wiggs/STH/Leia/AA) which let me get EP. That team and piles of ally points also let me grab enough shards to get Vader's TIE. Now I just need to up all their gear levels.

Anyways, 45 minutes left, holding 24th with 4600, and just started running my empire team, which I will run until I have no more time...360k to go. e: Forgot to actually respond to the above quote...I ran into one QGJ zeta team, and that was awful so I skipped it for the rest of the tournament. Otherwise my empire team held up against basically everything (usually with 3+ surviving). Towards the end I was trying to find any teams that didn't have Shoretrooper or Baze because I could kill those teams faster and that's always nice. Also, I think I made 12th. I should've started about an hour earlier, but...at least I get an almost 5* Vader....I think there were two cheaters in my shard though, and I've reported them, so there's a small chance I'll get lucky and get the rewards for top 10. That's only if CG gives a poo poo, which I don't think they do. e2: We get some of the biggest derps in TI somehow, I don't get it. sithmasterpizza [2:06 PM] @maraxus what's best TI timeout team with out GK malgrin [2:07 PM] There isn't one you could try something with Zarriss, but I'm pretty sure GK is essential to the whole thing sithmasterpizza [2:08 PM] I think I might run boba L, fives, aayla, b2, Zarriss sithmasterpizza [2:08 PM] is that good or bad malgrin [2:08 PM] How does boba lead help you get a timeout? sithmasterpizza [2:09 PM] Idk what do I do To make it good malgrin [2:09 PM] go experiment with something and tell us sithmasterpizza [2:09 PM] @maraxus: do u know malgrin [2:10 PM] He says that GK is essential maraxus [2:10 PM] No time out team without GK malgrin [2:10 PM] ^^ sithmasterpizza [2:10 PM] What could I run maraxus [2:10 PM] Boba aayla bariss chaze sithmasterpizza [2:10 PM] Until I get GK What's it a option Without Chaze I have baze not chirrup feared P.S. This guy got removed from my TI guild, Foxtrot, and moved into the "alts" guild we have -- they do 7* Rancor and Normal AAT. Also, weird backstory, sithmasterpizza is like 14, but someone from his old guild gave him this ridiculously whaley account for him to play on because he wasn't going to play it anymore, so now there's a 14 year old with a pretty crazy account (I think he got it in like August and hasn't spent any money, so it's not as whaley as it used to be), but he has no clue how to actually play this game, and doesn't understand anything. If I had a vote, it would be to remove him from TI. He was saying he might quit so he could get GK, and I wanted to encourage him to leave so we wouldn't have to listen to him anymore.

Well, nothing has been added to the cantina store in forever except credits for ships, so I don't think he's had to buy anything in there for a long time. The original owner had I think every single hero at 7* before handing this account over (again, awhile ago), so he doesn't have the newer heroes maxed or anything like that, but cantina credits won't help with that. Additionally, I have 5500 sim tickets. For those of us that started early, and got the crystal train rolling, it's impossible to run out of sim tickets because we've been buying 2-4 regular refreshes and 1-2 cantina refreshes for a year, on top of what you get for the daily quests. With any alts I've created and messed around with, I've had to buy sim tickets, so I understand how you have none, but for people who do a lot of energy refreshes, it isn't a problem. I'm down to just 2 regular and usually 1 cantina at this point -- slowly saving up crystals this way, but I'm still not really losing sim tickets at this point. No, he understands nothing. Did you not see the conversation I posted above? I told him that you can't have timeout without GK, Maraxus, who is one of the whaliest whales and designed the timeout comp (as well as many other best meta comps), says there isn't another option, and he's still like "yeah, but how do I do it without GK?"

Couple of babby questions about Arenas, as I'm kicking rear end and having fun, but could kick more rear end. I got my STH today, and my GS is up to 3 stars, so I'm shifting from using characters because I have to, towards trying to assemble a more optimal team. I still don't have many options for leader bonuses. What's better? Option 1: STH, RG, QGJ, JC, GS - this has two tanks, STH and RG. Option 2: STH ~or~ RG, QGJ, JC, GS, IG-86 - Pick a tank (RG or STH?) and add IG-86 for crazy burst assist-spam abuse from GS, QGJ and IG-86 working in concert. Another question: Do I spend all my Cantina energy on GS until he hits seven stars, before trying to move on to picking up a Lando?

I'd switch to Lando ASAP because he's badass and useful for a lot of things (he's a scoundrel AND a rebel). The arena question is probably gonna come down to trial and error/personal preference. I like running 2 tanks (I use STH/Sun Fac) because it can really screw a team that doesn't have great buff removal. It helps that both of those guys do other super useful things. I'd also give the edge to RG over ig-86 because he's slightly more useful long term. e: i'm only lvl 76 and thus not in the end game meta, so my arena advice is from that point of view.

Huh, I just read through the OP again, and didn't see me say to get GS really anywhere. He's kinda at the bottom of the heroes you should absolutely get from Cantina. I'd definitely put Lando and TFP ahead of everyone else. If you can point out where that is, I'll change it (it's ridiculously long at this point and I very well could have missed it -- GS used to be the best level 1 cantina hero). e: I'm editing the OP right now anyways, haven't seen it anywhere, but I'm moving things around. I'm trying to figure out what should be in the second post, aiming for stuff like raids, ships, and other late game content (e.g. have a level 1-70 section and an end-game section).

Once I have my Droid team finished (HK and IG88 are done. Working on IG86 next and then Jawa Engineer, Nebit is done). I think I want to make a proper Dark Side team as EP is fun. I've also been thinking about the future. What are the chances we need a strong First Order and Resistance squad by the time the new movie is out? Wonder if it's worth working on Poe and Finn at the moment.. Stormtrooper Han's AI doesn't understand Shock. He'll still taunt even with it debuffing him. iGestalt fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jan 3, 2017 |

I still don't have many options for leader bonuses. It's been said but lando lando lando. Another thing I stress to people that have just started and are working their way through the battles is not to make the mistake I made concerning ewok elder, who is very useful for raids: start farming his hard nodes every day as soon as you can. There are only two, and apart from occasional appearances in the guild store that's the only place you can get shards for him. It takes bloody ages to star it up.

Just got Vader's TIE and noticed that he has fairly easy G10 requirements although he does require 100 Carbanti's that I could use on Sun Fac (G8 atm), so, deep roster people - should I take a quick detour to get Vader to G10 or is Sun Fac crucial?

Game just straight up stole Crystals. I used 50 for a normal refresh. Used the refresh to grind enough Mk 3 Sienar Holo Projector Salvage. Went to build it and upgrade HK47 and the game froze and crashed. Reboot it and.. I have lost all the stuff from the refresh - items, money etc. But I'm now at 100 Crystal refresh, so it went through.
