OK I take back what I ranted about on Nexus 6-3. I guess I should read the text a little better. My point still stands with the other poo poo though!

Raids work so much better when routes are assigned to people.

Yeah I hope they revamp raids in the future. It also feels weird to be essentially competing with your Alliance members for a higher spot on the damage list.

Goon Registration Act has a few spots open. It looks like we are hitting a second burn out wave. We are looking for players at 50 plus at this point.

They need to get rid of the competing (or heavily modify it) and eliminate raid energy, unless I'm mistaken and a 50 raid can be completed with everyone just doing 5 fights.

No, you need to do more than 5 fights. Stop thinking of competing and think about it as churning out raids faster. Sometimes I come out as number 1, sometimes I come in top 5. It depends on if I was burning my energy to finish up the last raid or if someone else is. Typically if you finish at the top of the raid, you won't have the energy to come in first for the next raid if you are blowing cores on refreshes.

Also, the gap in rewards isn’t that much, so really just work on getting everyone in one and plowing through.

Raid energy is fine as long as your guild members contribute. 8 people to clear like 52 nodes is an average of 65 energy each, which takes 16 hours to build up. If you’ve got lots of people only clearing the first two or three nodes in their lane it’s a little more annoying but you can still 100% them in 24 hours.

But why have raid energy at all except as a nuisance? The raids already require everyone to participate, so there seems to be no benefit to inhibiting players that may suddenly have enough time to run 7 nodes at once but not enough to run 5 nodes and then 2 nodes 4 hours later. If the raids lasted for 36 hours or more then it shouldn't matter, but currently it's set up so that if you don't get 5 nodes in near the start of the raid then the window to get back in shrinks heavily.

I personally do raids until we hit our expected completion mark (60% for Thanos, 30% for Deadpool). I don't care about my ranking rewards, I just want to keep enough energy saved for when the next raid opens.

  Iron Man time. If anyone's unfamiliar with Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, this is pretty much a 1:1 of their Legendary Character events. They're cycling events that are less common than, say, the Mercenary PayDay event, but they do come back. The trick is that you need specific teams/characters all at star levels up to 7*, and this is how you fully complete the Legendary Character. Iron Man unlocks at 310 shards, so you can only get him playable if you can pass Tier 5 of the event (and you can't use him to get more of his own shards, since he won't qualify for Tier 6 or Tier 7). S.H.I.E.L.D. characters available right now: Black Widow: Premium Orbs only for a reliable source, but also frequently Blitz Event Orbs, as well as Mega Orbs and Ultimus Orbs Captain America: Heroes 6-9, Nexus 5-9* Hawkeye: Heroes 6-6, Villains 1-9 S.H.I.E.L.D. Assault: Nexus 2-3, Raid Store (rotates) S.H.I.E.L.D. Medic: Heroes 2-3, Villains 1-6 S.H.I.E.L.D. Operative: Heroes 4-3 S.H.I.E.L.D. Security: Heroes 3-6, Arena Store S.H.I.E.L.D. Trooper: Raid Store (rotates) Quake: Arena Store *There's a bug that helps immensely with fighting Ultimus- if your own team you bring in is dead at the end of a fight, but guest characters are still alive to finish it, it will be considered a 3 medal clear. If you can keep the Operative alive long enough to hit the button 4 times but your own team dies defending her, you'll be able to auto-win. Might be easier than trying to survive legit. Black Widow's probably out of reach for most people, everyone should be farming Quake already, and Captain America and Hawkeye are very good. That probably leaves two slots: S.H.I.E.L.D. Operative is probably the best generic, but Medic's the quickest farm. The others compete for tickets outside of single campaign nodes. This event WILL repeat (perhaps seasonally?), but it's probably fairly likely we'll see the Red Skull event before you can get a full S.H.I.E.L.D. team at high stars if you haven't already been working on one.

It’s at the point my A team isn’t eating all my low level resources and I’m thinking about where to put them. I want to start progressing through the hero/villains campaigns. Where should I focus my resources? My A team is: gamora, xbones, yondu, bw.

Thanks for the write up. I'm torn on whether to continue upgrading my Medic since it's already lvl 40, or to basically start over and bring my Operative up from lvl 1. Arrgytehpirate posted:It’s at the point my A team isn’t eating all my low level resources and I’m thinking about where to put them. If you don't want to jump into building a B team just yet, Drax can be bought in the Arena store and is very good and will help in the hero and eventually cosmic campaign.

This doesn't work any more I just tried it. Finished the fight with just the Shield character alive and it was only 1 star. e: Actually it does work! The fight showed as 1 star in the victory screen, but now back on the campaign screen it shows as 3 star! Nice!

If you have Cap Quake Hawkguy leveled you’ll probably be fine for the actual event fights, I wouldn’t waste resources on leveling/gearing the shield minions now. You just need to farm their shards to star them up.

Just calculated that I would need to average 13 shards per day until the last day of the event on SHIELD Security, Medic, and HE in order to get them to five stars. I don't think that's possible without buying cores. I think farming two nodes a day will average like 4-6 shards per character per day.

I unlocked drax but he’s staying at 2 stars for awhile. Quake is the focus still. I did dump a ton of resources into him. He’s almost caught up. I need to sink stuff into night nurse too so I can be sustainable in raids. My a team can clear 2-3 nodes so healing should increase that, I hope.

How are the other goon groups doing in terms of burnout/participation? I think Goon Registration Act is down to about a 12 active members this week with the rest quitting or just no-showing to raids.

CSS is pretty consistently 20+/24 on raids. Clans in this game really need to be much larger and raids seriously need to be redesigned so that A) you're not competing with your fellow dudes and B) you don't get hosed for not having 100% participation.

CSS is only comprised of the most hardcore of the casual crowd, though. We play not because of a burning desire to win but instead a crushing sense of absolute boredom.
