I got mine about an hour late...some people reported them as late as 12 hours last time.

So I have officers from both guilds on my ally list, signed up on the spreadsheet. Not sure how to apply for the guild proper. Guild invite sounds like it's me inviting them to my guild, which is probably why it's greyed out. What should I be looking for?

I haven't joined a guild (IGD leader), so I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can view an ally's guild and request an invite

I figured it out, it's not through the Ally menu, it's through the Guild thing when you scroll the main table over to the left. But both guilds are full anyway.

That's thoroughly disappointing. Writing a message to EA_Jesse.


E: We also did get guild compensation -- about 15-20k? Raid started.


Here's my message to Jesse:

Malgrin posted:

Hello,

The compensation arrived today, and we're all a bit disappointed. We feel that 1k crystals is nowhere near the value of our lost time (~30 hours of downtime). Please take into consideration all of what we lost during our downtime. However, we felt our guild currency was properly compensated, so thank you for that.

Login bonus: Some members were unable to login for an entire day, and missed a whole day's login -- This will mean missing out on 8 Trooper shards
Arena Shards/Crystals: I received rewards for top 50, while I normally reach top 5 (frequently 2-3 - this is a loss of over 200 crystals) -- will vary by member
Arena Ladder: Some members now have to do more climbing to catch up
Dailies: Daily activity loss will vary by member -- some missed an entire day's daily activities (I missed about 3-4 -- 24-26 crystals)
Hard Modes: (on average for me) 3 Rey, 1 Ewok Scout, 1 Ewok Elder, 2 Royal Guard, 3 Jedi Consular, 2 CT-5555, 2 FOTP, 2 Poe, various others (IGD, Anakin, etc.) because that night had the Guild challenge for hard modes
Energy refreshes: 180+ free energy (activity refresh).
Standard energy recharge: 150 - 250 Energy lost. Additionally, I always buy the two 50s, and usually two to three 100s -- this is another 480 energy
Cantina Energy: loss of between 30 and 150 cantina energy
Cantina tokens: 200+ tokens lost from lost cantina battles
Shipment refreshes: 4+ (Gear, shards, etc.)
Raid status: We have been unable to continue our first raid, which we left at 50%. We would probably have cleared that by now, which means we are behind other guilds in progression
Galactic War: Several members lost an entire GW run
Challenges: Anywhere from one to two days of challenges lost
Finally, and as guild leader this is probably hardest, I think I've lost 3 guild members. After over a day of downtime, they decided to quit the game. I'm giving them another day or two before I replace them, but I don't think they are coming back.

When you add all of these things up, it comes out to way more than 1k crystals if we were to have bought it from your store (not to mention crystals we didn't get for not completing activities).

Man I already spent two whole cantina bars earlier today. Would it kill them to give us a heads up on poo poo like this. :(

Also I'm really bummed that I've got like two or three days until I hit 77 because I would love some double rewards RG farming right about now.

While that would be nice, I'm 77, and I can tell you that isn't going to happen. I tried once, and failed once, at the first node in Cantina. I've heard 2 and 3 are even harder. You might not make it to RG's node until 79-80.

My recommendation would be to not even consider doing the new cantina missions until you're 78.

Tomorrow's (after 9:30-10:30 am pacific time) double payout event is GW. Note that these double events may not coincide with guild activities, so i recommend going for the double payouts, we can do guild stuff any time.

Waiting for more disappointment. If we get anything more though, I'll drop it. If not I'll bring it up on reddit.


On further thought, no, unless we are satisfied with our payout, I will try to push back more, but, I think that if they give us another payment, we won't get more. With that in mind, if we aren't satisfied (or they give us nothing), I'll be bringing it up on Reddit -- public shaming can sometimes be put to good use.

Disagree fully. I hit 78 and went 3/3 with a 3* on RG. You don't need to 3* them just win to move on. Doing a 3* is obviously nice but not needed.

I am encouraging this. Really the primary thing the guild will miss is the refresh you would've otherwise had -- you'll still get about 10 hours of cantina charging, and you can still refresh the next day. It is really dumb that they didn't either spread these two things out more, or line them up. This makes me concerned they will run a dark double rewards event while you're supposed to be running light for guild, or vice versa.

Looks like double GW is live. Or, at the very least the Cantina is no longer double rewards.

The game is running super slow for some reason.

So uh, I just did a bunch of rancor damage with my main raid team and as soon as it was done it told me I needed to restart. Now I can't log in and I have no idea if it just ate about 200k raid damage.

I managed to get in but the game is running at a hilariously slow pace. 2+ minutes to get into a battle and 2+ to get out.

Same, except for doing 200k damage to the Rancor. Got Client Restart after I finished a challenge, on reload stuck on Loading Cantina. Incoming 36 hour lockout.

Oh well that's better then. More of an incentive to fix it quickly, and less falling behind for those effected (the only "falling behind" in this case is dependent on what daily objectives you had and hadn't completed before it hit)

Managed to do a single GW, now it's sitting in the battle just.. doing nothing. With no enemies. But I can still attack thin air. Weeeird. But cool.

Wait, no. I got a formal Error code (3.0). Oh well.

Did QGJ complete the raid yet? I got one attack off with my only 5*, Chewie, before he got wrecked. I don't remember getting a reward box though.
