Thinking of giving this game another whirl as other mobile games lose their shine. Does anyone know if there's a way to reset my account and start from level 1? I'd prefer to be just starting from scratch on a new shard, rather than be lapped for like half a year's worth of content by everyone on my old shard

Definitely don't try to continue your old account. I took almost 6 months off and it makes the game really frustrating even though I'm still dragging along the corpse of my original account.

I started a new alt account and it's kind of nice to get a fresh start to build your teams along the lines of the way the game works now even though some of the event characters were nice to have (Nihilus, especially). On the flip side, you get free unlocks of a lot of the pilot characters and tons of ally points to help you build of shards of the less-coveted but still useful characters. If you're not paying anything to play, though, don't expect to rocket into the top 5 teams on your shard or anything, which is the real benefit of having a new account.

Beefed up RGs mods and after 3 restarts I got Chirpatine to work today. Only got in 260k but it was pretty awesome.

I've successfully started my new account and gotten into the rhythm of things, so I was hoping someone could please give a quick overview of the first characters I ought to be trying to farm from each source

Additionally, if anyone has a friend list slot to spare, please add me at 334-575-634. Thank you so much, Star Wars goons

Ticket generation in Something Maulful seems to have lost steam. We're almost to 60k. My hope was that we could get to max (150k), but at this point I say we just try to get to 90k (one free AAT), wait until we've just finished an AAT, and then immediately move over. This is still probably a week out.

I'd make a second alt account to do more than 600/day for it but :effort:

If that Mol Eliza was constantly at the bottom of the raid payouts with his flimsy Jawa team and sporadic with the guild exchange, then yeah. That was probably me. I still need to format the tablet and do that one weird trick Apple hates so I can get around the hidden chat lock for minors thingy SWGOH has.

Fake edit: I wish there was an 8x speed. Even 4x is feeling slow, but that may be hitting the hardware limits of my phone/tablet.

Haha no that was definitely not you then.

I can't imagine any reality in which I could find myself paying $19.99 to gear/shard up snowtrooper. Like, if I won that billion dollar powerball payout from a year or so ago, I still couldn't bring myself to do it.

Under Veers leadership in a trooper squad he now crits for 40k. :v:

Which is still no reason to buy any of those overpriced packs, of course.

10 Royal Guard shards. :jerkbag:

Do not buy this pack. Be stronger than me :negative:

If you don't have a Shore, def buy the 20 dollar pack.

If you do have a Shore... consider it? But probably don't.

20 bucks is for guaranteed 80 shards and a 4* shore trooper is worth it.

Medium finish in the first one, I did better in the second one, but I've been banging on 9B for a long time now.

Edit: I think I bought a couple 4-shards in Shipments when I had the crystals for it, actually. But mostly natural.

Add your poo poo to the spreadsheet in the OP.

We have two Goon Guilds, Qui Goon Jinn and Ima Goon Di, I think they're both full.

I think there's another mixed guild, but I'm not sure what their room situation looks like. Join some pubbie guild for now and when there's room in a goon squad, we'll get you in.

QGJ officers and/or SenorTano: is SenorTano a goon? His guild invite request got approved but I don't remember seeing him either in this thread or discord.

I ask because RCCola (above) is looking for a guild.

e: Tano is legit. RCCola, I'll get you in ASAP. We have some idle folks but I wanna give em a few more days.

How do you get past all those AOE attacks? I have a G9 to G11 rebel team and just get demolished by the constant AOE attacks on that shard.

Also, I'd pay :20bux: for a 7* Gear 8 character, but even though I'm tempted by Shore, it's a bit insulting for them to charge so much for a 4* character.

I honestly think the Federal Gaming Commission or whatever they're called should be involved in games with this much of a gambling aspect. Especially considering the amount of money involved.
