I find it absurd that they rolled this out without any testing. I suppose they can't roll it back without having to refund people, either! Nice job. Wonder how they'll try to balance it?

Has anyone else found the game to be way more crashy since the mod-update? Had four crashes today, for no obvious reason.

Just saw I got tier 6 mods rewards from the raid. A level 1 T6 Mod had 117 offence on it for me. A level 15 Tier 1 mod had 97.

Balance, what's that.

I mean, on one level I'm sad they just ruined a game I actually kinda like. However, I might have a lot more time to do....something?

I've been trying that Final Fantasy Xivious game and I've gotta say it's pretty good! Far, far better made than GoH. Even if you don't know if you want to play it, I'd recommend trying it and redeeming the launch items - poo poo ton of bonus items and some bonus characters and tickets to pull rare characters atm.

It's by the same guys as summoner wars and it's scratching the itch for me so far!

I am curious in general, actually. What genre of game is this? I really like the concept of this, and I know of three so far: This, FF BX and the Marvel one. What others are there and which one seems to be the 'best'?

So mods are all % based now? That seems vaguely more balanced, but why not just remove them altogether?

This doesn't hurt the Whales that probably have Tier 7 mods, though. Just F2P people who got the Tier 6 via raiding. A stern "no those aren't for you" from the dev.

Looks good. Once the new Raid is out, I think we'll have a better idea of where the Mod system will be heading. It's going to bring Tier 6 with it, I assume?

So I just unlocked Poggle and it popped up an offer to level him to 43 and gear 6 for $16. I've never seen that before. I don't really mind this, especially for harder to farm characters like Ewok Elder, but $16 and only to that level is a ripoff.

For £1 I might consider that but man, $16 is hilarious. I wonder if they get many people using it?

Also, level 43 is such a random amount. Why not 40? 50? 80?

I mean, if we're being honest, you DO need 5 scoundrels to finish T3 Challenges (crit chance mods), and I think they have to be at least 5*.

If you've been following the recent drama around No Man's Sky (someone bought a stolen or otherwise street date broken copy of the game and has been posting about it), the guy who bought the game is a member of one of the top whale guilds in this game. So he's already predisposed to have more money than sense.

My bud who worked on the Kabam star wars game told me about the meetings they had with lucasarts/disney. There was a guy whose sole job it was to approve/veto everything character related that they wanted to do in the game. They were told to change characters outfits because they were 'too nabooish' and asinine poo poo like that.

Now what I understand is that they probably could have made ST HAN & IG-88 scoundrels+whatever when the game was first being created, but they hosed up and so those characters were approved as whatever. Now to change it they have to get permission.

Wow.

tbh it's probably more of a marketing/branding gig than it is someing lore centric.

They sure as gently caress aren't just going to give that info to clown shoes dev Capital Games and hope they work out so Disney has an actual grown up to take care of that.

They are literally just nerds! Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerds!! Pablo Hidalgo now has an impressive title, but he was really just a guy that happened to know a lot about star wars and now he is a "Creative / Story Development Executive."

A very similar thing happened with 'Game of Thrones' where they had Bryan Cogman as a kind of lore master and he eventually became a writer/producer.

Would like some advice on who'd be worth working on for 7 Star in PvP shipments. I've got: Sid, STH, Leia, Greedo, Eeth at 7 Star. Underworld Cop is at 6 Star and I've almost got 7 Star on IG88 and HK47. Is it worth baking them, or working on Ackbar now?

Likewise for GW, I guess. Phasma, Luminara, Bane, Teebo are all 7-star. Been working on Magmatrooper and IG86, but unsure if it's worth it.

They need to add some Cantina characters to PvP / GW already :(

Raid stuff

Another (not perfect route) would simply be that the high DPS people rotate. One raid they do token damage and sit out, only jumping in after 12 hours if we need them to push the Rancor to death.

The raid is just badly designed for total raid engagement. poo poo should've been "Kill Boss, grace timer starts that is X hours long, where everybody can go ham until timer is over"

Malgrin posted:

I actually really like this. 12 hours of don't actually hurt the Rancor. Maybe I start it at 9PM Pacific and we go that way until 9AM? Also, with everyone doing 0 damage, this means that if you don't get back in, you'll probably still tie for like 30th? How does this game resolve ties in loot rewards?

Again, everyone has to agree to not break this -- I can't really kick people out who are active because we are already short on active members....but if anyone is being a shitlord about it I guess that could happen.

I would be up for trying this, although I'd need to work out the GMT. Either way, I think it's a good solution.

worldtimebuddy.com. Also, technically we're in PDT, which is why I always say Pacific time.

GMT is +8 right now (there's like 2 weeks or something on each end where it's 7 or 9, don't remember), so 5AM is raid start but don't do damage, and 5PM is go ham.


That said, I'm actually thinking that go ham should still mean one attack only.

Ah, thank you!

I agree, go ham should mean one attack only unless we end up needing more (and I'd say we cross that bridge when we come to it)

LOL. Instead of a weekly update, they posted the trailer for Rogue One. Yeah, like we haven't already seen that...
If you ae going to have something called weekly update, at least make it weekly, otherwise it becomes the occassional update or we don't give a poo poo about our players update.
We want to know when the next raid might hit, where we stand with level caps, if they are adding any new heroes soon or when they will break gspy so that he's the new must have p2w champ. Are any assaults coming soon? When is the next bugs patch coming? Stupid poo poo like that. Soesnt have to tell us that the raid is coming on 8/22 at 5:23 PM, but a general loving ballpark estimate would be nice.

I wish they'd hire a proper Community Manager who understands how to connect to the community. I don't understand how they can be so misinformed and unaware of their own product right now. The whole "You can beat modded teams without a modded team ~if you know how~" was the crux of it; no clue about the product they are selling.

So, how are we going to handle the new raid? If it indeed only drops 6* mods and R2D2(?) shards, could we perhaps alternate between them? I imagine most people still need raid rather gear than slightly better mods and many, myself included, would like to finish Han eventually.

Han has such good use as a Rebel and a Smuggler, that I'd say we should get him finished - I wonder if R2 is Droid and Rebel? And probably overpowered?
