The current Groot Squad has become the casual guild now. They should have something like 9 spots open.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

When I was young and didn't have cable, my brother and I would rent out VHS's all the time.
And one we loved as kids was Go-Bots Battle of the Rock Lords. I went back an re-watched it and it's hilarious in the way 80s cartoons can be.

But the bad guys had a group of villains known as the Goon Squad. Not only that, but there is a bit where one of them says in a robots voice
"The Goon Squad is standing by, Cy-Kill!"

Every time I see "Groot Squad" in my head I play that clip.

And if you want to, you can too.

Just search GoBots of the Rocklords on Youtube. And go to the 14minute 30 second mark.

Apparently there's a new $10 bundle out for new players and it's just like the Captain America bundle but it's Black Widow. If you are starting now, you loving buy this bundle or you don't play the game. Black Widow is an even better character than Captain America.

All I see is the shittiest bundles ever that. I never saw Captain America and I don't have the Black Widow one. gently caress this stupid idea of not everyone getting the same bundles. Do they not like money?

I think the strategy is to make the offer bundles random for people and limited time so that when you DO see them, you're more inclined to buy them since you have no idea how long they will be available for or if you'll ever see them again.

I got the cap bundle offer when I first started but I had no idea if it was good or if I would even like the game. By the time I wanted to drop money on this game it disappeared :shrug:

Zotix

I was never offered the Captain Bundle myself, and I'm too high level to be offered the Widow bundle, although I lucked into getting her through orbs. I did see the $10 black panther bundle the other day at work, but I closed the game after seeing it was available for 2 days, and I told myself I'd buy it after work. Big mistake as it was gone almost immediately.

And they sent me this reply after asking why I can't purchase it:

Hi Zotics,

Thank you for reaching out. We're really thrilled that you're interested in the offers. Earlier today we sent out an offer that was not meant to go live. We resolved the issue as soon as we were able to but not before some players were able to see it. We apologize for the confusion, but this offer was not meant to be purchasable by anyone. Thank you, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the future!

Warm Regards,
John G.


The problem is, people who saw that offer and bought it immediately got it.

Similar. Do we have a more casual guild? Sorry to Groot Squad-- I still don't know if I want to put effort into another SWGoH. I should have tried harder and that's my bad.

So i pushed hard as gently caress for Thor, just to get 699 rank, with 360k score. Just to find out that I'm on the Beta Blitz server for some reason. I'm not sure if that's actually a bad thing though. If I'm on the beta server, and I pulled 360k after 3 weeks of playing and basically did that with 1 team, then I should theoretically be getting better and better each blitz that I try. Most of those players have a power level much farther ahead than I am, and they won't continue to grow like I will.

What reward tier did you reach? I threw everything I had at the Thor blitz and got to the top 10%. 45 shards, not bad.

Zotix
Aug 14, 2011



10%. I finished with like 360k points. When I get a B squad that can get wins on the level of my main team I think I'll get top 500 on most blitz that I try. Beta players will slowly leave the game and there aren't any new whales that would pop up.

I landed in the top 10% as well, but I did about 100k points of damage or whatever they measure things by. I guess I’m not in a very competitive shard!

Should I prioritize leveling up quake, or gamora? I got them both around the same time.

My current best lineup is Drax, Yondu, Luke Cage, Wolverine and the last slot is either Daredevil for Arena/Blitz or Night Nurse in Raids.

I figure Gamora will eventually replace Wolverine/DD eventually as my damage dealer but where would Quake slot in for? Luke Cage?

That sounds more like the launch shard than beta based on score/position. Who was the winner on your shard?

E- never mind, guess the two shards had closer cutoffs than I expected. I could have made top 500 if I had spent like 200 blitz cores apparently. That’s probably a good sign for the Strange blitz where I’m going to actually push for it.

So people are cheesing the game by alliance hopping to collect rewards and then move on. They join an alliance with a raid near complete. Finish the raid leave and do it again. There's no lockout timer on the guild itself or the rewards. So people have 5* thanos right now, with loads of equip from all the boxes. Kind of a huge advantage if you want to invest the time to do it all day long.

I wouldn't mind having a 5* thanos tho.

Aug 14, 2011



It's not as good as Captain America or the Black Widow bundles, but yeah I'd buy it for sure. You won't see another offer that gives you 100 character shards for $10. Thor's big weakness is his ultimates energy cost, and his slow speed. If you can shore up one or both of those weaknesses some how, you'll have a great start.
