This game is a pile of poop sometimes
Yesterday i lost every single squad arena and fleet arena fight, and i couldn't finish GW.
It was mostly due to freak luck as well. In one of the squad arena fights the enemy Darth Sidious literally oneshot my team with his aoe. A level 67 Sid with GL8 oneshot all my 65 dudes with GL6/7. In another one every single attack i did was dodged and every enemy attack crit, Ezra oneshot 2 dudes in a row and so did Vader. This game is ludicrously streaky at times, to the point where it feels like their RNG is bugged.
(I once got 25 Lando shards in a row in 25 cantina battles. At another time i had to spend over 200 energy to get a single piece of blue salvage for Ackbars GL4, as the item didn't drop once in ~40 attempts)


The trend in general is that my arena rankings just keep going down. I don't have the bestestest squad or anything but i should be able to get better than rank 1100 in arena, considering how much i play. I cannot believe every other person on my shard is a whale. I have done 3 energy and 3 cantina refreshes every day since i started, and even bought a few crystals to keep this habit up. I also feel i have done "everything right" by farming the recommended heroes and not waste any resources on suboptimal heroes i have a personal attachment to. Even so, my rankings have been steadily going down for a couple of weeks. Now i am at 1100 in Squad Arena and ~180 in Fleet Arena. I used to be ~400 in SqA and ~50 in ShA.

I just had a bit of a purge, getting rid of all over-a-week-since-last-activity persons from my guild. Sent you an ally invite so if you want to leave Space Slugs Grunt Squad there's a few places available now at the Rocinante.

There's one spot I've been asked to save but there are about five or six available so post your codes if you want one I'll do first come first serve.

I wish they would stop restricting some gear to Raids and put them in regular battles (Hard mode ones make sense), and also guarantee at least 1 piece of gear in every battle. Then guarantee 1 shard/top tier gear piece from the 3 daily hard mode battles.

But that's just me, a guy who has terrible gear.

Yeah, we all knew this was coming. We also know a level increase is coming, eventually.

I will straight quit this game if they introduce additional star levels.

Oh you're just a little guy. Drop Akbar for Chirrut, drop Biggs for STH/RG. At this stage of the game you need reliable heals and tanking in Arena.

Or just run your Phoenix with Hera lead and see how well that performs.

I was stuck at 1000+ in arena for awhile until I got wiggs, lando, sth, and boba to g7 then I start reliably climbing. G8 just increased the speed of the climb.
