TB is a chore and you don't really get anything extra the more you put into it as an individual. I still do my part because it helps everyone else, but it's half baked.

I think an easy fix would be if people who completed the special stuff (ROLO shards, ect) got bonus currency. Seven people finish so everyone gets seven shards. If you are one of the seven you get 25% more so rounds up to 10.

Yeah. Removing incentives to get carried would be huge. Doesn’t even need to be huge. Reduce the currency rewards by 20% across the board, and then give a +1% bonus to rewards for each combat/special mission attempted and a bonus 1% each day for deploying all of your GP.. You don’t even need to reward winning at the missions, to keep the win as a team, fail as a team thing - just provide individual incentives that don’t force guild leaders to yell at people to show up.

If your guildmates aren't all in the position to farm CHan that'd just be a straight nerf of rewards for a lot of people, even in QGJ. We barely can get 18-19 stars (and we just lost Yoleau who was a big contributor), reducing rewards would just incentivize people in "leveling" guilds to bail

None of those reward ideas help to make fighting through hundreds of snowtroopers actually fun, though, which is the problem.

Yeah, it’s fighting against, like, 6 different kinds of toons, and 3 of them look the same. It’s boring as hell. And taunts and stealths barely help, because near everyone has an attack that hits everyone at once. So you also lose some of the strategy you’re used to. It’s just slugging away against the same enemies over and over again for nearly a week. It’s just so dull.

This game isn't fun. I just like to look at all my Star Wars dudes and spin them around. I have a collecting addiction and this game scratches that itch. Welp thats my story.

Also TB sucks. Reduce the fights to 3 rounds and add a mini raid on the end.

No it wouldn’t be a nerf to cold-han less people. Even ignoring any combat mission with a requirement more stringent than ‘rebels’, you’d get to 101% under that rubric.

The idea of my dumb spitballed Numbers to leave what should be the minimum “making an effort, but not requiring specific farms or moneyspending” max level player at roughly the same rewards as now, with a little more than now for doing everything, and a modest penalty for freeriding.

It's this.

Ideally you'd want this to line up so you can have Thrawn, EP, TFP, Tarkin, and prolly stormtrooper, but for alot of folks, you probably won't have thrawn/EP when R2's event comes around.

I like my MT for rancor raids. His TM reduction grenade can be clutch in a Zader squad along with Tarkin and Jyn. I don't have CLS so I can't solo it. Outside of this one niche, MT is outclassed by pretty much everyone.

I did it with Emp, Vader, RG, TFP, and GMT. All were level 8, with the exception of vader who was 9 and no zetas. It took a few gos until RNG lined up.

Going to look to jump ship from my pubbie guild after this round of TB finished (assume if miss out on rewards otherwise). Any room in QGJ currently? Only level 71 currently but active and hopelessly addicted to this dumb game. Currently finishing my last few PS to seven stars in prep for Thrawn.

Well, gently caress. Since last night, I've been having connection issues - game hangs at update check, and then the one time I got past that, I hung at loading cantina.

I've restarted the device (Kindle Fire w/Play store installed running Android 5.1.1, no issues till yesterday), I've restarted my router. I've deleted cache/data and reinstalled without restarting the device in between, I've done that WITH restarting the device in between. I'm running into no other issues with any other games and none of the advice on the EA forums is any help.

I just want to play with my toons. :sigh:

We appear to have one opening right now. So talk to, uh...I think Booker is running things now? Hop in the discord that's linked in the OP and ask in there.

Zeta chat:

So I have number crunch on R2, and I just put it binds all things on Luke. For my next couple I'm thinking of staying with these two characters because they are getting the most usage at the moment. Which should I do next, Luke's other unique, the one that gives him stat increases when he's not got his buff on, or R2's one that clears debuffs on crit? I rarely have Luke in a leader slot outside of TB (I mostly use him with my resistance squad in arena or in a zader led team in raids) so I'll probably get that one later on down the line, if at all.

Hey guys, it's the ghost of Bola Het.

I've been playing SWBF2 and after spending so much time looking at crystals and such in SWGOH, it makes me wonder if there'll be a change in the industry that'll lead to this game being more affordable.

I know Disney doesn't care too much and they also have a history of "random chance items" like their pin collections at the parks where $15 gets you a random pin that might want, but this looks like it's too much bad press. It seems the best way to take down a giant is to find a catchy label like, "No Child Left Behind" or in this case, "Addicting Children to Gambling".

Right now on my phone I'm playing "Infinity Dungeon" which is infinitely less fun to play, but at least I can put it down after a few minutes unlike SWGOH. Until there's a new Mandalorian wave and then I'll be back to see what they do.

The downside is that battlefront 2 is not F2P and somehow having a lame throwaway plot is more offensive than having no plot at all.

Might check out infinity dungeon, though I’ve been kinda enjoying Pocket 3 Kingdoms, an identical game to GoH only with chibi Three Kingdoms toons.

I've been enjoying every aspect of BF2 except for the part where I literally get one-shotted about fifteen seconds into every spawn.

Back to campaign mode for me.
