Training droid event always me laugh. Does anyone at level 80+ actually need more training droids? Last time I checked, I think I had around 50million credits worth of training droids.

Yeah, even if you've got all the toons maxed that you want, you're still going to have enough droids.

I'm working on my last Droid for my Droid team. IG-88 and HK are both Gear Level 10. IG-86 will be there soon. I just need level and gear Engineering and I think I'm done? Datcha is already set.

Yeah, I am just leveling people for the fun of it now, but I do run out of training droids if I am not leveling up mods which eats up all my credits.

I suppose I should probably start saving credits, we are getting close to due for another level cap raise I imagine (ugh).

Some hilarity on Reddit today, when someone complained about the gear grind and one of the devs replied with:

OK, GK led arena teams are starting to show up on my shard, and they are horrific. If IGD can't manage to start doing heroic tank, I might have to pull a Mal and go join some pubbies, I really don't want to fall so far behind I can't keep up. We kinda need to decide if we are going to be tryhards (at least in one guild) or not.

I just need to mod my P1 Rancor team for real and my droids, and I think I'm sudo ready to gently caress on that front.

We only have like 20 dudes who contribute serious damage, though.

I'm in the same boat two_step, if Mal won't hook us up with some sweet Team Instinct vouches (Hi Mal!). I'd suggesting trying with team skunk (google lord skunk, they've got open applications at least), I've seen their squads hit the leader boards multiple times in the last few months, plus they do some baller guides and a podcast thing that I don't listen too, because I struggle to listen to over enthusiastic nerds, never mind listening to my own voice :v:.

Kind of annoying that raid Han could never ever be described as OP but GK sure as hell can.

I am 1 more zeta away from getting my first :getin: still not sure if I go for Vader or Boba (both in arena team), Cody's sounds nice but he is so pathetically weak, and Echo's heal off basic doesn't really keep clones going all that much longer with how high damage is these days, I don't think +5% protection on basic is really going to improve clone survivability all that much. Bariss' would be great but my Jedi while quite high level with JKA/QGJ/Yoda at G11, Ahsoka, Lumi, Aayla, Bariss at G10 I don't think Jedi are really up there without GK to tie them all together, same line of thinking for QGJ zeta.

I'm also mulling it over as well (Siege in game), I really like IGD and the people but trying to gear up using normal tank raids is a joke and I really want Kenobi.

I think the biggest problem we have is that whenever we lose an established player it's a huge hit to the guild because it takes months for new players to get up to standard, attrition will always be a killer with closed recruitment.

I mean, if anyone wants to join TI, I can put a good word in for you, but I don't think we're actively recruiting right now. We're at 250 members, and openings fill before they're open -- basically someone says they're moving on, and a dozen people are ready to fill it before they leave. Maybe at some point we'll try to expand to 300, but that's a lot of work, and TI are actually pretty selective -- I'm not sure how I got in/I got really lucky in knowing people. Also, I'd feel pretty bad if I caused the collapse of goon guilds, although I realize this game is unlikely to sustain two goon guilds forever regardless.

Also, be really careful about joining Team Skunk. He has a really bad rep.

I think before we get drastic, let's wait and see what comes with the new updates/characters. GK is obviously OP and we all want him, but I'd be surprised if they don't keep the power creep going with the new Empire guys, who won't be raid-locked. As for the raid gear, yea that bites. However, if you're strategic with your crystals and/or drop a little $$$ (and I know you do!) you can buy raid gear here and there from the shop for your guys who really need it. Buying the dark half of those gold eyeballs for 750 to pair with the challenge pieces isn't too bad of a deal compared to other /50 gear for 1400 like Stun Cuffs. But yea the attrition the guild has taken from people leaving is stalling us out and there's no real solution. But a pub guild ain't gonna get you anywhere, you'd have to get into a more elite guild.

like 600k every day for GW.

3-20m every time a credit heist comes around. It's random, but you mostly wind up getting ~5m each time it comes around.

360k (at max level) every 3 days from challenges.

Credits are also rewarded from prize purses in guild raids. The range varies based on where you place.

You can occifer me, Dave, I'm always playing this stupid game. I was a QGJ officer before I moved over.

I also second a realignment of the guilds. It blows for those dudes who keep not getting to be carried through Heroic Rancor, but at the same time... our better guild is only like 5 good stables away from doing heroic tank.

How does one build the "raid" maul that does entire phases by himself? Also droids are getting a bit weak so I need to set up a new team. Since they said they are focused on dark side I figure I may as well try a dark side team. What's the good options for FTP?

If I recall correctly, the rewards from credit heist don't get above 3m until you hit tier 3, so working on your scoundrels is probably good advice in terms of cash flow. Lando/STH/Boba/IG-88 + whoever else (per the OP).

Emperor Palp if you got him from the event, Boba Fett, Vader, Royal Guard, Tie Fighter Pilot, and apparently Asaj Ventress can be made useful now as a counter to Baze and Shore Trooper

Lets be loving real honest, folks.

The toons are somewhat fungible, what you need is speed mods. Speed Speed Speed.

You'll place top 50 with the right toons, but you'll never break top 20 without full speed mods, and this game is just the loving worst because of that.

That being said, Dark side team is:

Emporer Palpatine
Darth Vader
Royal Guard
Boba Fett
TIE Fighter Pilot

OR

Darth Zeta'er
Boba Fett
TIE fighter pilot
Royal Guard
Shore Trooper/Palpatine

As far as Maul, my understanding is he just does it without any special build, one of his abilities when omega'd makes him gain max health for every attack so if he gets enough hits in before the enrage phase he becomes pretty much immortal
