Hooray! My completely irrational decision to 7* Savage Opress and Darth Maul will be useful for something! My Vader is in decent shape, too, so that just leaves two weeks to get Phasma and Palpatine caught up.

Maul is a really scary leader on a team of sith.

IGD we're going to attempt a heroic tank again, I'll kick it off right after I make this post. Remember that in heroic you can use as many teams as you like, however, there's no refresh. Consult the spreadsheet linked above.

I'm jealous, my irrational choices include Luke, Poe, E Scout, Dathcha, Jawa Scav, Dengar, Eeth, RP, Cad Bane, Poggle, and Asajj. At some point or another, most of these have been sorta useful, but overall, really wish I could redistribute those resources (mostly the mk3 callers and detonators tbh...although the creds would be pretty handy too).

I dunno if anyone else has noticed, but you probably have about 350k+ AP at this point. With the latest round of announcements from CG (e.g. release timetable), I think it's fair to say they don't want to/can't fix the cheating problem, which means we won't see tournaments again. At some point, they will probably give you something you can do with AP, but when that happens, you should have enough GW bux saved up to buy quite a lot of it (although you should totally be buying ships with GW right now). If you're on an iPhone, this probably isn't for you, but if you're on Android, I'd recommend you download an emulator and log into the game that way. Go to the bronzium datapacks, hold your mouse steady with one hand, and slam the poo poo out of the buy button with the other. Rewards will fly past your face so fast that you won't even register them. Why? Well, you can actually get a lot of good poo poo out of there. I just spent about 75k, and that made me around 1500 shard shop salvage (I desperately need mk5 droid callers, so this is cool), completed a raid disc (just needed mk3 callers, which I got) and a scanner (random salvage), got a Plo Koon (so like 25 shards) and a couple other heroes, and a ton of lowbie salvage, some of which I won't ever need, but some of which I am constantly farming. This lets me focus on farming important things, like stun cuffs and guns.
You can even get some pretty decent items (unlikely), like mk3 holo projectors or mk3 carbantis (full items). You can't get anything that costs 10 to farm (and can't be farmed for less), but basically everything else is on the table.

OK, I think it is time to get more serious about the heroic tank. I think we can do it, but we can't have guys in guild who aren't helping. The folks that aren't contributing damage should move to QGJ, I suspect with like 4 or 5 guys from there we should be able to do the heroic tank no problem (we may even be able to do it now). I went through the list of members and made a spreadsheet with the damage numbers as of 11:30 AM EST:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MSNvSvidgmMubRuiFjnIFddnez9A8KG83iSjlMvAlBQ/edit?usp=sharing

If you are at the bottom of that list, you need to log in and do some damage or you should move to QGJ. Can we get a couple of QGJ guys who have *good* heroic tank teams to move over ASAP? We have 2 slots plus Hughlander who we can kick because he hasn't logged in for a week. If we have more demand, I will start kicking people who haven't done *any* AAT damage later today. Sorry to be a dick about this, but I want to stay with IGD, and if we can't get our act together and start doing the tank, I'm going to move elsewhere.

Edit: QGJ guys who want to move, my ally code is 242-933-929. Shoot me an ally invite and I will invite you to guild.

IGD isn't a hardcore raid guild... but uh... we do raid, and there is a reasonable expectation that you also raid so that we can overcome hard poo poo.

If you don't want to participate in raids, QGJ is also not the place to be, as they also raid.

P4 is pretty brutal compared to normal, if you have to commit rebel squads you're not going to have anything left to finish with, try and do everything you can to avoid the top 5 guys using up their teams.

Normally, I would try to jump in and bring over some Foxtrot people, but 1) we're in the middle of an AAT right now, and 2) we're hitting max AATs this week, so we can't really help all that much. I'm trying to see if there's anyone from other TI guilds that wants to merc, but some guilds don't let you do that (each TI guild has it's own rules), so I'm trying to find out without getting in hot water (I can't just post in our general chat -- the way I'd normally communicate with other TI guilds -- about this, is what I'm saying).

I'm on that list and logged in to do some damage but it isn't and won't be enough to make a difference. I'm a casual player and don't have the will to invest the time to build the teams needed for heroic tank. If you want me to move over to QGJ I'm cool with that.

Time investment to build a roster in this game is essentially months to years. I've been playing since Ep VII dropped, with a 3 month hiatus in between and I still need 2 characters (Ayala & Chirpa) to have the 4 ideal squads for each phase, not to mention gearing them all past VIII, which will take another 6 months, probably. A lot of more recent players, barring spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on this game, will struggle to contribute to Heroic AAT, and that's nothing against them, their F2P status, or the ultimately casual nature of this game... Access to higher levels in this game just comes through dedication and longevity of play.

That being said, we -do- need to reshuffle our goon guild distribution. Older players with deeper rosters need to move over to IGD, younger/newer players should move to QGJ.

A player only needs 1 team to do Heroic Rancor, so I don't feel like we're shooting anyone in the foot by reshuffling. It might take QGJ some time to get AAT back to farm, but the rewards for normal AAT are basically a joke.

I feel like a lot of people missed this, so I'm posting it again. After ~350k AP, I've now gained ~5k shard shop tokens. I also got a whole bunch of magnaguard, jkg, Plo, and Stormtrooper shards, so mostly worthless there. I got about 30 each mk1 furnaces, mk1 baws, mk2 binoc salvage, and mk2 binocs (which are basically just one each of the first three things)...those are the items you endlessly farm for Scanners. I could craft a few more scanners just by farming some mk5 blastech weapon mods. No mk3 holos, but I did get a full mk8 blastech (all put together includes a laptop and an mk3 caller). Also got some mk4 laptops and syringes. Got about a dozen mk1 holos and mk1 chedaks (these go into a lot of things), and some mk 3 detonators and mk1 zaltins (these go into lots of stuff).

All in all, if you've got some time, I'd recommend it, especially if you can just spam click on a computer. You can do it on a phone, but my phone loads things just a little bit slower, so it takes longer.

No, they aren't. I'm one of the people who left IGD to do HAAT and since I've just finished my first one I can say it's a lot harder than I realised, G10 teams are barely good enough, I carried my weight in P3 with my G11 Empire team but my G10 modded rebels that score 4.5m in T6 tank couldn't even get past 300k in P4.

'Close to' is having 5-6 people who can do 2.5m+ across the entire raid, 10-20 who can do at least 1m and the remainder 300k-500k. You need all 50 people participating unless you have some truly ludicrous teams like G11 clones.

It's a nice thought having two goon guilds who can both compete but it's not realistic.
