Yes and no. The plan was to use the coins, finish the raid quickly, then reform, so we might only lose a few thousand. However, people are not liking this plan so far.

Maybe we can set a more or less standard raid start time? Or at least a cutoff where we don't start after a certain time? I'm west coast so I'm not personally impacted, but I can see east coast folks not wanting a raid to start after, say, midnight their time.

I bitched about it in the other thread.

Ya'll started an finished a raid after I fell asleep and before I woke up.

I was super shocked we were getting that good, but also... WTF, BRO!?!!?

Also, raid strategy, I just ran QGJ, Phasma, Poggle, Resistance Pilot, and Barriss, and they landed 250k. This isn't my highest damage squad (that award goes to TM manipulation ewoks -- despite dealing no damage per hit), but it did an impressive amount of damage. If you have GS, he's way better than RP, and while any healer can go in the Barriss spot, she's best, especially because she can "heal" over the immune debuff, which makes it a lot easier to stay above 50%. Anyways, once he gets down to the turn where he's going to eat someone, I use Poggle's Off up, blow up the door, get attacks in, use Phasma's advantage (I know they already have guaranteed crit -- this is more for 50% TM), get more attacks in, and then get whatever attacks in before he eats someone. Then I go until right before he eats the next person -- if the switch is up at this point, I repeat (to my best ability -- down one at this point). If the switch is not quite up, I try to evac my best guys.

I run a similar squad and get a similar result.

swgohgg just added a feature where they can pull your characters from the servers. Instructions at https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4ia0oi/swgohgg_introducing_collection_sync/

For example, here is my page: http://swgoh.gg/u/twostep/collection/

Probably worth adding a column on the spreadsheet for people's link. Also, when you are asking for team building, linking your collection will make it a lot easier for people to give you advice

Edit: Also, it collects up everyone in the guild who created an account there, so you can see the whole guild at http://swgoh.gg/g/145/ima-goondi/

http://swgoh.gg/u/chilichimp/

it just occurred to me that making your profile public is probably bad, since your arena opponents can search for you...

My primary arena team are all gear 9 at this point. This required 3 pre-crafted parts and 2 shipment furnace purchases. In all likelihood my first gear 10 will probably be fives, since his gear nine didn't require a blocking part, and i have one pre-crafted part left.

Yup, I couldn't precraft anything, as I was counting on the patch dropping to make these parts more available... which lead me to farm hard mode shards instead of gear.

Little did I know, that at the same time, they would be making certain gear IMPOSSIBLE to get without raiding. So I'm in GVIII hell.

I'm loving serious, use this squad if they're maxxed, because they will TRASH the opposition. There's so many Jedi in GW (Lumi and QGJ specifically) Dooku is a MUST TAKE. Omega skilled Daka Basic is also just hilariously effective.

That works until you run into the ultimate gently caress you squads with gear X RG, Rey, Dooku, Geo Soldier, QGJ, omega mat Fives, omega mat Leia, Rex et cetera et cetera

For those comps. you have to steer targeting a bit and stop auto-play on occasion to heal a toon.

Unless Rey is maxed out and goes before Dooku. Also she's not a Jedi so the stun isn't reliable.

Rey sucks on defense without RG, because she always uses the ability to get evasion before using her 3-strike poo poo.

You can reliably kill her before she nukes anyone, as long as there's no RG. Add a Daka in there for a good-measure stun, and you get ANOTHER round of chances to debuff RG and bring her down.

Play with other goons!
There are currently three guilds: Ima GoonDi, Qui GoonJinn, and Goongan Grand Army. IGD and QGJ are full.
To get in a guild, follow this link to add yourself to the spreadsheet, then add an officer from a guild with open spots to your ally list, and then you will be able to see and apply to that guild.
Being in a Guild allows you to earn more shards and gear through daily activities and raids (discussed more below).

Farming RG loving sucks. You have one easy to farm hard mode node for him for the first 60+ and counting levels, for me. I can't quite 3* the mission at the end of hard 5 dark side for him and I am nowhere near able to farm him in the Cantina

Like the rest of us, you'll have to focus on building up something else while you slowly bring along your RG and Rey.

Is Leia only good in Rebel teams? Or when does she start getting good? I've spent the last week or so leveling and hearing her and am just underwhelmed so far, currently sitting lvl 77 (I'm still only 79) with Gear VII and 7*, I'm hoping Gear VIII is the turning point and should hit that tomorrow. For now I'm experimenting with Lumi(L), Rey, QGJ, Leia and 5's for arena, thought about Phasma lead but those heals have been clutch for me at least offensively.

Thar she blows!

Yes, she's incredible on rebel teams, but also just good in general. In fact, rebel teams don't really work without* her.

Yeah, we bring it under 75% hp in p4 within 3 hours and then it takes 4-6 hours for people to finish it.

Maybe we need to tell our FOUR loving MILLION DAMAGE whales to calm the gently caress down and save some attempts for later that night... or we need to start earlier... or maybe we need to do another T6, because we've got 10+ guys who are all hitting in the millions range.

wtf are you whales doing to pull that poo poo off? Best I've been able to manage is just short of 300k on a phase 2 with Bariss, QGJ, Phasma, Lumi, and (SOME DPS). It's Luke right now, usually, but I'll switch it to Rey once I get another star on her.

I have received an email from EA support stating that if I screenshot every single purchase I've made from iTunes they would put them all on a brand new account....so a poo poo ton of crystals, but I would have to start afresh.

Is this game that fun? I gotta think about it. It would be funny to be brand new with seven months of whale purchases all at once. I basically spent my first three months leveling lovely characters anyway.

gently caress that, send them screenshots of your purchases and ask for refunds, if they can't restore your account. Were you in a guild, so someone can look-up your player ID?

did you ever sync your profile to this?

Thanks for this summary, I think paired with STH in arena that option 2 might be a great choice to keep my offense boosted low health characters dishing it out. Because i'm only level 54 and gear VII I may focus on some hodge podge of #1 + what I can get at this point in time with a long term goal to transfer in to #2.

STH + RG is loving great and I cannot recommend it enough.

I round that out with QGJ, Rey, and GS. It's a wallupin. But... I can't break into the top 50 for my shard, so it's not "broken" just "good"

e: Current recommended team comps for Tank raid:
P1: Aayla, Anakin, Mace, QGJ, IGD
P2: HK, 88, 86, JE, Nebit
P3: Chirpa, EP, RG, STH, SF/Poe
P4: Wedge, Biggs, Lando, Leia, AA

I can field 0 of those teams. Like, legit, I don't have 11 of those, and missing at least 2 from every comp... and I've got 36 7 star toons, so it's not like I'm a total slouch here.

7 of them are farmed from Cantina battles, too, so it's not like I'm going to be able to quickly catch up either. Talking 3-4 months of farming just to get the current optimal characters. gently caress this new raid.

Yeah, it's pretty awful. Wedge + Biggs is basically the best thing in the game at this point, so I'd definitely work on that. I would also recommend working on the HK, 88, 86, Nebit, JE team, you'll get a lot more mileage out of them.

Also, having the ideal team comp isn't that important when you're running normal. I mostly posted that there so that people could try to start farming towards those toons for a couple months from now when you're all trying heroic again.

Yeah, well, whatever goon guild I'm in is basically a month away from finishing normal, at the pace we're going.
