That's what I thought; I already had the general Samsung one, but I just tried both the S7 and Note 7 and didn't get anything extra for either so that one may have expired.

Had my first node 12 from hell today with Zeta QGJ lead, GK, Yoda, Chirrut, Baze.

Fortunately still pretty easy to take down thanks to being GW, where I can use my Zader/Boba arena setup to kill Kenobi and then send in Wiggs and Co. to mop up, but I guess this is The Future, given that I'm 2,000 xp away from level 85.

Actually I'd never seen zeta QGJ in GW before the update yesterday and now I've seen several.

I think it's weird that a guild like ours can't do kenobi raids. I feel like if 50 people of whatever level get together we should at least get 5 shards a week or something. It's nuts.

I don't think we have a full 50 active, and easily 20 of these accounts aren't deep enough to really be able to tackle all four phases of the raid.

It takes like 2 months or so to get a team for a phase 7*'ed and longer to properly level and gear them.

Most of your droids require fusion furnaces, too, so you're pretty much baked on progress until you either buy them or get them to drop.

Some sort of weird meta shakeup is happening on my shard, as if a million Wiggs/Lando/STH/Boba teams cried out and were shoved down like 10 slots by Sith teams.

I'm still rocking a counter-meta STH/RG/Lumi/Boba/Lando (L) team and where I previously lived comfortably in the top 20, I found myself at #37 all of a sudden today - clawed my way back up but god drat.

My concern is that it's taken a ton of time and mod challenges to get my team to 5* mods, and I don't quite know what to invest in or if any changes are needed. Halp: https://swgoh.gg/u/numismancer/

I've been madly gearing for the Palp event, should have Wedge 7* in time but AA will be a dodgy 5* at the start.

A lot of people are starting to get their first Zeta, which basically levels the playing field. Also people are starting to get level 85 geared DN/SAss.


Chilichimp posted:

I'd still run Wedge (L).



e: Something else, I landed over 6 million in Rancor today running Teebo, Rex (G8), QGJ, Phasma, TFP, and I ran it really, really fast. Mostly did Basic Auto, but took it out anytime the boss started getting high TM to make sure Teebo could use stealth. I think I could've cleared P3, except that with about 10% left in P2, Rancor got its first turn, and used that to kill Rex (again, G8). This only happened because Teebo's stealth was resisted two turns in a row. Rex + QGJ are amazing at keeping Rancor's TM down. With a G10 Rex, I might even be able to Solo rancor.


For dealing with Sith squads (Maul lead, in particular), I'd highly recommend Rex (L) with B2. I'm not quite there with either of them yet, but it seems like the best counter.

I was hoping to get some decent speed mods, but I've been on an incredibly dry run, and I might go back to farming B2, he just needs 80 shards. I started recording mod drops a few days ago, I'm up to 131 attempts, and for 5* mods, I've gotten 27 Grey, 4 Green, 3 Blue, 1 Purple, and 1 Gold, and only one of those had a speed secondary (I think it was a green), and it didn't even roll speed for me. I'm also recording how many speed and CD primaries I get, as well as the shape of each mod. I'm at 25 left side mods to 11 right side mods, so far confirming my general sense that you get 2:1 left to right side mods. Will keep tracking though.

IGD goons, specifically MUMUR and DARTHTATER, you guys need to slow things down on the Rancor. 8 minutes from damage start to p1 down is way too fast. When you're close to ending, just stop for 20 minutes or so and let everyone get a chance to get in.

This relies on what is probably a glitch. Kylo has a 50% chance to get cooldown reduction when he takes damage. This reduces the number of turns before he can try to escape.

I don't have him and haven't checked. That was a different bug though, and he can do 20k+ with outrage, which means he regains 20k+ protection when that isn't broken.

There's a thread on Reddit for people to find others in their arena shard. I scrolled through and found there's a Discord server associated with mine. A couple months ago we were still small and it was pretty easy to take #1, but people have turned into hardcore whales and they've joined TeamSkunk and the like. Today I noticed all the TeamSkunk whales had migrated to a new guild and some of the leftover baby whales asked in Discord what happened to everyone. This was the response: "Most of TS Alpha and 25-30 TS guilds plus a couple dozens other guilds moved to a community of guilds that work together to help with recruiting, content, information, etc. and fellowship. It does not have a leader but is run by a senate and guilds determine their own rules as we all have our own personality. We have called it The Alliance."

So that's what happened if you're wondering where they all went.

How exactly did you find your specific shard? I'm having extreme difficulty staying in the top 50 now, despite making steady gains on the right characters. I'm convinced my shard is organized since I've had days of people becoming "busy with another battle" as soon as I lose to them while I get dragged back by people in their guild.

I wanna see what these jerks are saying because I'm not staying in punk 45-65 territory.

Yeah, this is insane. And she can give someone else an un-dispellable revive on death ability. Hera (L), Chopper, Kanan is already sounding OP. Chopper: Recover 15% HP on turn, gain 15% protection when damaged if he doesn't already have protection up. This is an absurd counter to Sun Fac, and more importantly, Darth Nihilus (although I guess Nihilus will eventually just Annihilate someone, but still). Kanan: 70% Counter, recover 25% HP whenever debuffed.

Gotta love this power creep.

That's the thread, I did a control+F search for people at the top of my shard. I commented and received a PM with a Discord invite. Some shards use LINE instead. Confirmed from reading their chat that they help one another during their payout by weakening their own teams and locking down others outside the clique.

I started pretty recently so I am transitioning from the point where I just have a few strong people to form a single team to where I can start choosing comps.

My team is Lando/STH/Biggs/Lumi and I switch out the fifth slot to take down other teams, I've only got Vader, Jedi Consular, Royal Guard, Tie Fighter Pilot up to the rough strength level of my other characters to switch in. When I see a Nihilus team I use the Royal Guard to stun that cocksucker dooku and things like that.

I know my team is scrub tier until I finish getting some units I need but I was holding #14-#20 for awhile but now I can barely stay in the 40s. I'm hoping to hold my place better once i figure out how to buy chaze or finally get Wedge.
