I'm glad I contributed to the new thread title.

Also Barriss at 7* doesn't seem that much better but she has the second highest attack on my squad.

I just unlocked Vader, but I'm extremely tight on training droids. Is he worth using? My current A-squad is Sid, GS, Lumi, RG, QGJ.

IMHO not really. There are a lot better dudes to spend your credits and droids on. He should be a long term goal.

Cheers, I'll just let him sit there till he's big and strong, or it starts raining training droids . Thanks to all the double GW I have like 7 million credits and I can't spend them.

lol I don't ever think thats gonna happen. I'm almost always out of the drat things.

So for the past two days my cantina refresh has cost 100 crystals and i swear they used to be 50. Is this a nerf or a bug?

No its 100 for the first then 200 then 400.

Bug or a "feature"? Who knows!

quote:

So I entered a new GW battle (node 4), after beating a node and noticed that along with my current health and protection the game saved my heroes' turn meters from the end of the last battle. (Much like how it does so in Challenges, Cantinas, and missions). My entire team got to go before the other teams heroes,.. except for Dooku. [Insert expletive here] Dooku!
...
Plus side: This gave me a chance to get more hits in before the other team started attacking (including a chance to stun Dooku before he used his special, or to kill QGJ before he called a super assist, etc).
Down side: It totally messes with planned out initial attack orders based on speed of my characters. Doesn't outweigh the plus side on the team I run, but I wonder if it's more noticeable and frustrating for other teams.
...
Overall, I think it's a great change!

You have to update the game to see this.

So I had something unusual happen tonight. In the second to last GW fight I got a character shard. Is this new? Did I just get tremendously lucky (it was a snowtrooper shard so lmao on that if so)? Have I just been really unlucky to have never gotten one before the final battle in GW before?

It happens every so often. Maybe once or twice a week for me.

The Galactic war Maximum Auto-play gently caress Squad:

Barris (L) QGJ, Lumi, Dooku, Daka.

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.

I am gonna try that one next. I have really good luck with Barris, QGJ, Lumi, Eath, 6* Kit though. Some nodes are a bitch but I can pretty much auto the whole thing.

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.

Yeah this is true. I can almost always kill her before she gets a chance to go if RG isn't there.

Also poo poo I gotta work on yoga I guess. I've been putting it off but if I can gear that fucker up with out using raid gear then I'm all over that.

I actually managed to break the top 20 on the Arena with my Dookie(lead), RG, QGJ, Lumi, Daka.

I'm slowly working on getting Rey up to spec she's gear level 8 6* and level 66. She's my next target for level 78 but drat being credit broke sucks.

It's the return of the omega material event. I'm not sure at this point which units will be needed.

If I had to put money on it I'd say the units we will need for this event are ones that no one uses or puts credits into. Maybe 2 battles using regular dudes but at least 1 will have people scrambling to get units up to spec.

Yes was. Start working on QGJ he's great.

If it's like the last event which I hope it is then 1 well geared high star character should carry the other 2 through the event.

As I get closer to 80 (79 now) the galactic chore gets worse and worse. They really need to re-tune this poo poo.


In Arena news I'm not really sure about replacing QGJ with Rey even though Rey kills him in DPS. I feel like his buff removal comes in really handy. I've been able to hold in the 20-30 rank for the past week with my Dookie, Daka, Lumi, QGJ, RG team. I know that when I go up against teams with Rey I'm almost always able to take her out of the game before she gets a turn.

They said they tuned the event to be much harder, probably to the tune of 3 level 78s. However, the requirements are 3*, so it might be 3 level 78 5*s, so 1 7* 80 could maybe carry it? I don't know.


Yeah, they either need to make it less of a chore (e.g. remove protection), or up the rewards based on level. It's dumb that we get the exact same rewards as someone at level 40.

I would run both QGJ and Rey. My arena team is Dooku (L), QGJ, Rey, RG, Daka.

Yeah that might work. I don't think that Lumi even gets her heal off before the end of the battle. Her Skill block comes in handy on occasion. Well time to level Rey up some more I guess.

Ugh, I've finally hit GW where the last 2 nodes are insta-kills for my team. All it takes is Rey to have a turn, and she one-shots even my full-health folks. I had to burn through 14 characters to kill her.

And I'm only level 62. Well, getting that last node was nice while it lasted.

To top it off the lovely thing about GW is that you HAVE to do it every day or you won't be able to do poo poo because you aren't getting credits from anything else except maybe what 600k a week from the bounty missions? GW is the lone source of credits for the game and it's a lovely daily slog it's even worse when you do them back to back for the guild rewards.

gently caress the Galactic Chore they need to revamp that poo poo. I like the game and I've dumped a decent amount of cash into it but I really do not enjoy doing the GW.

Oh yeah I wasn't saying it's not "easy" it's just tedious. It's not even remotely fun or interesting. I hand out around rank 20 in the arena and it doesn't matter if I'm rank 20 or 200 the difficulty is the exact same.

gently caress GW.... But I need the sweet sweet credits Rey is gonna be 7* tomorrow and RG right after that.

I've seen people have success with Apple in the past. The guy was super friendly and had some understanding of how being locked out of your account in a game like this isn't quite the same as say losing your Angry Birds advancement. They stated it was a one time thing they were doing for me, and I believe the key was my statement that if the game relies completely on Game Center to preserve your account, it needs to be extremely apparent the second you start the game. He seemed actually quite surprised they were unable to recover it for me, especially since I was regularly spending $$ on it.

That is actually pretty awesome of them. I honestly figured they would have told you to go pound sand then again Apple does have pretty awesome CS.

So who are people farming from the Cantina? I've finished up anyone that I was really interested in and so that leaves me to farm one of these dudes,

Lando
Old Ben
Anikin
Ploo
Finn
Kylo
Chirpa

I honestly wouldn't be using any of them anytime soon as I have a boat load of other characters to farm up but I want to start getting the shards for another dude. Started working on Old Ben but drat I already have like 7 level 80 Jedis and I'm not sure he'd be put to good use. Maybe Kylo? I dunno who are you all working on now?

I'm glad that we have a break from level cap increases so thatI can stockpile some credits up. Hopefully this lasts for a bit so I can start building up more squads.

Dunno how you can stockpile credits when 7* promotions cost a million. I'm almost through my backlog and haven't been able to level anyone for a while.

Initiate is a serious tank, and has some decent qualities. Additionally, I think we can expect Mother Talzin at some point (pretty major role in the clone wars animated series), so Nightsisters might be pretty good at some point (Talzin, Talia, Asajj, Initiate, Daka).

Raider has an assist, and some TM stuff. Shaman will eventually go F2P, and they could release Tusken Brute at some point, which would make for a decent Ewok-like Dark side team. I'm not going to put hard energy into what's-his-name just yet, but maybe when Shaman goes F2P I will.

At the point there are just two left, shouldn't I finish them to be a completionist?

Well yeah when you put it like that I'm sure it would be good to get them. The only thing I see is all the lovely gear drops its going to take to gear some of those dudes up.

I managed to save up 6 million credits. I ended up blowing 4 of them on Leveling Mace up to 80 and getting my Scoundrel squad to 60.

Did anyone end up doing the level 70 Scoundrel event and if so how hard was it and how many credits did you get? I could see it being worth it to level up my dudes if the credit payout is good enough.
