lovely Wizard posted:So if they make it nearly impossible to get mods now that they realized how big of a gently caress up they made, aren't there going to be a bunch of people who already farmed/upgraded/whaled mods that are loving unstoppable for the foreseeable future? Yes, and they did the same thing when they added raids to the game. Before raids, every piece of gear could be farmed from the main campaign nodes. When they announced they were adding raids, they also announced that they were changing certain gear to require pieces exclusive to the raid rewards. A lot of people 'precrafted' a bunch of these components before they made the change so they had a huge step up on everyone else. Due to the speed at which you gain gear from raids (nonexistantly), people who crafted multiple of these hard to get pieces were able to sit at the top of arena getting even more rewards (higher payouts) due to this. Surprise surprise, they make the same mistake with mods. I could never break top 50 on my shard, and the only thing keeping me in the top 100 was being able to snipe certain players. I always dropped ~50+ spots every night. I 'precrafted' a ton of tier 5 mods and now I just placed #18 and was goomba stomping teams 6k ahead of me in power because my team is actually much stronger due to mods. Its gonna gently caress everything up, especially when they start throwing mod teams at people in GW. Its already hitting some players and it makes it impossible to finish.

Yea I hope that instead of some of the good players leaving QGJ, that some other good players will join us. We have a really solid core of players, but I don't think we've ever had full registration since guilds came out or full participation. I dunno what GGA's situation is, but depending on how many ppl are active in it a merge might be a good idea.

Instead of something appealing to the customer its probably based on a specfic credit amount that the pain point devs found led to increased sales of crystals.

Just a heads up, try to avoid tier 2 and tier 4 mods if you can, they have bad stats compared to 1-3-5. You may end up wasting a lot of money upgrading a higher 'tier' mod but end up with really not a lot gained. The SWGOH reddit has a thread about it. Basically it looks like this Tier 1: 1.88% of *STAT* Tier 2: 2.00% Tier 3: 3.88% Tier 4: 4.00% Tier 5: 5.88% So they apparently forgot the .88% for tier 2 and tier 4 lol Makes them credit traps. You want to start at 1 and hopefully upgrade straight to 5, but if not then go for 3.

From the latest updatequote:When is the Tank Takedown Raid being released? Really sucks that they now are going to be balancing things around mods. I feel like they need to balance around the base characters, so that you are actually rewarded for increasing your powers with mods. Instead of what is likely to happen: mods become mandatory

Just add me and let me know who I should hop in. I sent you an ally invite & guild invite for QGJ. Your roster would be a huge help in getting us into T7s. I'd recommend joining us even if it means no immediate T7s because you're basically guaranteed to be in the top 5 of damage in our squad.

I beat the Tier 2 with a 6*, G8 LVL 72 Lando and no other scoundrel above level 60. I think Chewie was 60/G7, Cad Bane 58 G7, Greedo 55 G6, Dengar 55 G6. It took some retries to clear tier 2, but as long as you are able to have his AOE up for wave 2 and land a crit you will clear the entire wave instantly. You may have 3 or 4 guys for wave 3 and if Lando crits 2 or 3 of the trash guys you will be fine. This is a pretty small investment in terms of credits and should have a really big return. You can level up anyone to ~50 for like 450k credits. So make the bulk of your investment in Lando and just surround him with some meat shields so he doesnt get stunned.

iGestalt posted:I wonder what job the guy at Disney who deals with this aspect is called? 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.

Here is another anecdote from my friend quote:Also they were clearly the videogame nerd council. Cause we had a cinematic of a low flying tie fighter, and they were like "tie fighters can't do that" and it was pointed out they do it in Rebels and they were like "Yeah Rebels is making a lot of new rules" sarcastically agitated 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.

Gonna echo Davethulu. You need to beef up Lando & STHAN because that is a multipurpose upgrade. In any dumb game like this where it takes a long time to gear and level your guys you want to try to be efficient. Lando is a fun character, he is also a rebel with a very useful AOE ability. Building him up gives you easy way to win scoundrel & rebel focused events. STHAN is a rebel, a scoundrel, and a viable to broken arena tank. He is also almost required to do the Empire event where you use a rebel squad to face waves of guys. IG-88 & Dengar are just fine to level after that. Dengar is supposedly pretty good, and IG-88 is another one of those dual purpose heroes since they made him a scoundrel. Will help you out in droid or scoundrel events.

WerrWaaa posted:Alright. I'm frustrated. What's the absolute best Arena team? I've gotta break into a higher bracket for crystals and shipments. Thats my team and I am a late starter on a launch shard (took a big break and wasnt really very serious before the break either). I place in the top 20 or the 20 - 50 bracket every day @ 37k power. You should be able to take teams 2-3k stronger than you unless the RNG fucks you, but I'd say you ought to be winning 80/20. If its even or better match up you definitely can't lose. Whats your power? Whats the power of your opponents? What is your gear level? Whats your shard like? What kind of teams are you facing? Phasma lead is a fun attacking team but its really weak on defense, even with RG. You'll win some defenses off of lucky Rey RNG and poo poo but if you want to improve your placing i mean yea going to a dodge lead and replacing geo soldat with ST Han would be good.

cowofwar posted:Is there a list of ideal squad arrangements for rancor? I open with phasma 86 gs rey qgj. I think your first team should be heavy TM manipulation + damage, because you want to speed down the rancor, then TM smash it until you think you can no longer land enough TM down, then drop the door on it before the speed debuff wears off. Then pound it once the door comes back up while retreating everyone you can. So for example I run: Phasma, GS, Rey, QGJ, Teebo if the door is available. Thats good for 600-800k damage depending on how many teebo procs I get. Once i retreated everyone I run my worst guys into the rancor to build up the door meter and get a chomp out of the way before sending in my second team + whoever escaped. Second team usually has 86, RG, St Han, Lando, etc. 86 and RG are the last ones removed for retreated people.

the AI will do stuff like always attack the same 'slot' regardless of hero, so you can swap your heroes around within the same team and not affect the RNG roll but will affect who gets targeted. They will also prioritize healers and poo poo which is always annoying. Support champs tend to get targeted a lot I think.

What’s happening next week? There will be an update next week that introduces a number of new things, including: Rebalancing of the Credit Heist event, adding additional tiers of difficulty and increased rewards. The return of the Assault Battles: Military Might event, including a new difficulty tier that is quite challenging. A new event that replaces the current Training Droids Hunt. This new event will make appearances in the same way that the current Credit Heist event does. Kit Fisto shards will be available from Cantina Battle 4F. Lastly, the daily login character for September is our first character from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the Scarif Rebel Pathfinder! In addition to being the daily login character, we have a special event running all throughout September that will allow you to earn one additional shard for Scarif Rebel Pathfinder each day. Nice

The new events are great, especially the droid one gives out enough droids to go from like 75 to 80. These events should be available once per week minimum, would really help with the crunch. I also need furnaces to be back in the shop. I've been saving my arena winnings and I didn't get any in the shop when they were there last time (im asure they showed up when I was unable to access to the app) and I need 2 to level Lando & STH so I can tackle the hardest credit heist :\

Of the 3 times I have faced Palp in arena since his release, I was only able to kill him the first time because it was a 5* with no mods. The next 2 times he stunned my entire team????? Thats pretty strong. He is definitely a strong character on defense because the first action the Ai will take is to deploy a huge stun. Combined with other strong AOE characters palp teams can be obnoxious. I wouldnt mind annoying team comps in arena if you could just climb during the day and get paid out based on how high you climbed. Rather than this 'snipe back and forth' bullshit. Eating a loss hurts more when youve lost progress + attempts.

I created a google doc to track my purple & mod farm rates since I was getting tilted seeing no rewards pop up ever. My mod drop rate is at 15% right now, less if you remove non 5* mods that dropped in the 5* challenge. Also its been 75% grey top left rectangles. So I rarely get rewarded for spending energy, and when I do get a drop its the most abundant mod at the lowest rarity.

It was stupidly easy which is weird after the rebel event took more tries and I had an definitively stronger team. No mods on Vader or Hk-47. I used Palp AOE on the first wave of hard hitting shitters, then HK-47 on the next wave, then Hk-47 again, then both on the final wave. The waves that didn't have damage boosted idiots I just played straight up. Most of them got 1 shot  Weird event edit: even cleared the bonus tier 2 with this team just as easily.

WerrWaaa posted:I also want more character advice! Time for my next cantina shipment toon: What's more important, Scout for Rebel events or Poe for Speed Mods? Biggs for Rebel events or Pilot for Speed Mods? You can clearly see the two things that I want the most here. What other mods should I be farming toward, and who are my best bet to farm? Should I be angling for stage three clear or is the fist stage with three characters enough? IMO speed mods arent that good (its better to have other mods that simply have speed as a secondary or primary stat) and Rebels team is very good to level. Ideally you will have ST HAN & Lando. Both are scoundrels & rebels! Then you just need 3 more of each branch to fill out your teams. Get Rebel Scout & Biggs over the resistance people. A Rebels team lets you complete Palpatine Event & Empire Assault! Thats potentially like 4 million credits + shards + 1 OP character. Once you unlock 7* Palpatine you can basically walk through the Ewok event with Palp lead + Royal Guard + literally anything else. Lando is the key. If you have him at a high level he carries the scoundrel event. Him + ST Han + 1 other scoundrel at a dece level = golden. Focus on rebels after that. I was able to beat the scoundrel tier 4 heist with a lvl 70 dengar 5* G7/G8, Lvl 60 5* Chewie, and Lvl 60 5* IG-88 because I had Lando & St Han at G10 & G9. I filled out my rebel team with Leia, Ackbar, and Hoth Rebel Scout.

two_step posted:Maybe Catte Butte should switch to QGJ, where he could run as many attempts as he wants? Really recommend this. We actually don't need much help on T7 since we blew through our second one. We just got unlucky with some of our bigger guys not taking this attempt as seriously and ending up in a damage hole. Even 1 person who can be a top damage dealer for T7 would be enough. We have a lot of noobs and like ~10 people who can do good damage so if you have a good T7 raid squad you're pretty much guaranteed top 10.
