Just been getting back into the game. Sid is still the best all-around leader unless you're doing a pure Jedi or droid team, right?

I find him good as an all-around due to Crit boost. Luminara is also pretty solid due to her Heal-on-turn (I think that's how it works?)

The beginner pack with Barriss is the only way you should spend money on this lovely game ever

I finally got Barriss to a level I can use in GW and I've gone from never finishing it for several months to finishing it. She is incredible.

Unlocked Yoda, finally. 5* was a complete bitch. Won it by having Barriss as lead for the HP boost and carefully hit Yoda down. And getting 7* Phasma tonight. Unsure on how to focus next in the GW. Thinking Teebo for Ewok Raid squad.

Am I right in thinking that any time they add a new character they will be hard to unlock? Like, do they ever just add a new character to the GW store?

They have added some more easily unlocked characters with the Guilds and Raids. But I think that'll be the exception rather than the rule - New dude being added? Pay through the nose!

I guess they could use the combat format we have now, but instead of characters we have small fighter ships and instead of fighting on a plant it's in space. You'd assign a character to each fighter for a certain bonus, which is where the pilot characters would be useful. We could have a new raid event where you battle against one big capital ship.

That's what I expected. Or they'll have different sizes of ships, and you can use your characters to 'man' them. Yoda sitting on a turret in the Falcon while a Pig Guard flys it, and Sidious is repairing the engine.

So.. Emperor Palpatine is probably going to be gained via a Sith event. Chewbacca via Scoundrel. Luce via nightsister?

Looking at the ships, I think it'll be a "This character gets this ship. Some ships need multiple characters". Falcon needs Han and Chewie, but you just need, say, Anakin for Anakin's Delta-7B.

Working on Greedo in Arena at the moment - wondering if it'd be better to work on Ackbar? Almost got Teebo to 6*, too. All this grindin' coming together.

Still unable to do reasonable damage on Rancor and have yet to get anybody to Gear 10. Geno Buddy is at Gear 9, though. I hear going to 10 with him breaks his damage - can anybody confirm it?

Greedo is a very good DPS. His damage per turn is stellar but he's slower than the top tier damage dealers. If you can't take advantage of Thermal Detonator (and AoE works best if you stack it) there's no reason to take him over Rey, Geonosian Soldier, or someone at the same speed but harder-hitting like IG-86 or FOTP, except that Greedo is easier to farm. Because there's no one else in Arena shipments that's as good at DPS except IG-88 in a droid team.

Ackbar is not really comparable, he goes on your team if your success depends on giving one of your characters as many turns as possible or you want to combo Yoda's AoE into Battle Meditation. Or use Asajj's two buttons to do the same as Echo's one button. Or double up on Lando's Double Down. He's also reportedly good for clearing deathmark in raid phase 1.

Great - thank you.

I've gotten Rey unlocked, and slowly starring her up but I wanted to get Greedo too. Namely to replace Sid in my Rancor team, as he's falling so far behind.

I'm making some edits to the OP -- not too much has changed, but I figured I'd mention some things. One thing I've wondered -- with the energy bonuses, I get those at 1pm, 7pm, and 10pm (Pacific time). Are those set to local time, or are they at the same time for everyone?

I get those at 1PM, 7PM and 10PM too. But in GMT. So local time.

If only I could convert GW tokens into like 1/4 Arena tokens. Would do that in an instant.

That would be nice. I'm working on Cad at the moment, as I've gotten everybody else worthwhile at 7*. Got Greedo to 7* today too, so all Arena goes onto Leia. Unsure what else to focus on now that I've hit 80. Will have Yoda next time he rolls around, too. My core is level 80 (Rey, QGJ, Daka, Phasma, STH, Luminara, Geno Solider). Guess I should push Teebo to 80 and Greedo to 80 sooner than later, and then Leia after them?

Gear is a pain, gently caress gear.

They seem to be doing better with Events lately, which is nice. Force Champions are a good start since they give a lot of Credits daily, more or less.

Hope we'll see more. Would like an Endurance Event where you get rewards every 3 rounds, and can sub in characters until you've used your whole roster. Like, first 3 is 5k credits, second is 15k, third is 30k, etc.

First wave is Phasma and four Stormtroopers, second is Ewoks. Third is unchanged. Final wave is QGJ and Kit. Seems easier than the previous one. Kit also only needs 25-shards to unlock too which is nice.

Also, T7s take a lot less time from those of us at the top. I was spending generally 30+ minutes on P1 alone, so, this is a really nice change. If enough people want to go back to T6, we can consider it though.

I'm all for continuing T7. The payout for it is so, so much better than T6.

Who can be broken the most with the Mod system?

Rey - The obvious one, her already incredible damage can be increased even further or she can be given absurd amounts of protection and HP.
Geno Solider - His special is TM on Crit, so stacking a ton of Crit chance on him would probably be a good idea.
Royal Guard - Super Tank, but I wonder if giving him more damage would work too? Or Potency.
Phasma - Stacking speed on her so she'll go quicker and be able to spam her turn ability, maybe?

Well they announced the first round of mod changes, and somehow they managed to find away to make mods even worse than they are now. Instead of having a 100% drop rste, they will have a drop rate like cantina shards do, so about 33%. Thus increasing the amount if stamina needed, making mods even more of a whales only thing. They are still talking about actually rebalancing the stats on mods, but are asking players to give them a chance to get over the initial shock, the amount of customization available out ways the drastic changes.

wow.

wow.

What the gently caress. I think I might look into that FF game that Mal mentioned, as this does not seem to be going in a positive direction. They made everything meaningless, then made it purely P2W.

Just won an Arena with my whole team dying, and my Super Rey soloing the rest of the enemy team. This was for Rank 36. So dumb.
