If both goon guilds are full, is it time to start a 3rd? I joined one I thought was a Goon guild "Goonsquad 608" but it's just a dozen AFK guys and one semi-active guy who doesn't know about SA. I'd eagerly jump ship if there was a better option.

I'll get you in IGD, post your ally code.

we have 2 spots, so if someone else is still waiting for a goon invite, speak up with your ally code.

I noticed a bunch of new people in the thread asking to join a guild recently; The Rocinante is going to have a spot open due to me removing one of our member's alt accounts that they barely log in with. If anyone still hasn't found a guild and wants a home quote this post with your ally code for an invite.

We're still a levelling guild but most are now in the mid-higher brackets and we do Tier 5 Rancor raids that take about 8 hours with the occasional tier 6 thrown in. If you want efficient progression and sick loot one of the other goon guilds like QGJ or the other one is probably more what you're after, but if you want a casual hangout while you level up and learn the game - even if you plan to move on once you've reached higher levels - this is by all accounts a decent guild for that.

Plus an added bonus is you get to read my retarded drunken ramblings late at night on occasion too :)

Do you still have a spot? Friend of mine is looking for a guild.

398-765-559 is still my code. You guys know better than me so if it's best to stick in a low level faction for the time okay, I could still use your maxed out guys to help me beat a level fast though until I'm ready to join, whenever that is, so please add me as an ally.

Sent you an invite.

Running Vader/EP/TFP/Boba/Shore and trying to figure out who gets Boba Abilility Block targetted in mirror matches (or mirrors with EP lead). Do I try to pound through shore, do I use Boba to remove his taunt or just keep boba ignoring it and power through on the rest?

Well, since you aren't able to ability block past the Shore, you've basically answered your first question.

I tend to pound through shore, personally, as it's better to get that ability block off in the hopes it lands on vader/EP/their Boba than it is to tear down a tank who might well get his taunt right back the next round (because your TFP is def faster than boba, and boba would remove the ability block.

Boba ability block gets someone for 2 turns and ignores taunt.

Also i have my boba going first for now because there is so much shore on my shard.

I run this exact team (Zeta Vader though) I come across mirror teams and some chaze/wiggs/x teams, and the odd sprinkling of rex. My TFP goes first, and hopefully BI's shore and or baze, or enemy TFP. Boba goes next and my priority for his AB is usually EP or rex (he's priority #1 if he's quick, cleanse/tenacity up ruins an empire team's day) or chirrut (another cleanser), EP goes for AOE stun, TFP gets another shot at baze/shore, Zader AOEs, TFP gets another shot at shore/baze, Boba gets to execute next, I go for EP or Rex at this point. I forgot my turns after that but for the most part you want to deal with EP/Rex/chirrut as early as possible, the only exceptions to this are if you are lucky enough to have landed a BI on TFP; then I usually try to murder him quickly.

Update is live for Android with some pretty nice features, but not all features are live yet.
GW doesn't have increased payouts yet.
You can run the game at 4x speed (super nice), but you can't auto with basics only yet.
The stores are now all grouped together, which is pretty convenient.
You can make preset squads, and organize them by your own tabs (e.g. GW, Arena, Rancor, AAT)
Not sure what else is and isn't live yet, we don't really have patch notes yet...

Same, Mal I set up 6 squads using the new saved squads feature, set to 4x speed and auto'd my way through all 12 nodes of galactic war in 16 minutes.

I like this new update

I like the little lock icon on the abilities that can't be dispelled.

being able favourite characters in your roster is also a great feature, makes it far easier for me to track who exactly I'm currently trying to farm, trying to gear etc. When you have 96 characters unlocked it can get a bit hard to remember which characters you're currently working on some mornings :).

Agreed. It's really good and I hope to see them continue this route of making the game accessible and enjoyable. I wonder what finally sparked them to do this QoL overhaul? Ships being done, maybe?

I really like putting the raid start and continue times in the MOTD, but could we add the day also? Something like "Damage starts at 8am Sunday" instead of "Damage starts at 8am tomorrow" would be helpful to me, because I'm kinda dumb sometimes.

Depends on your definition. By including the speed-up option you can now spend up to 4x less time playing the game, which means 4x less time of boredom, i.e. more fun.

If you're running out of allies to help you in battles you can refresh the list. Simply enter a daily "gear" challenge and immediately retreat.
