So, I have $200 laying around not doing anything except sitting in a PayPal account. If I were to spend it on this game, theoretically of course, what would give me the most bang for my buck, as it were?

Either that or I'll buy a new pullup bar and another piece of weight equipment, which actually has an ROI not measured in electrons.

Unless you are brand new to the game, the Chromium packs are not worth it (and even if you are new, their usefulness is debatable). The only character bundle that wasn't a ripoff was the old Dooku one they had. I guess if you were gonna spend money, spend it on crystals for energy recharges.

Hopefully slightly toasted or electric sheep still read this thread. I put myself in the spreadsheet for the going an army a few weeks ago and forgot all about it. Just remembered, and added both of them for a guild invite. I had been in a guild with a friend but they've done tier 5 4times in a row and it takes like a week to get through even that. Need more gear level 9 bits :negative:.

I can add you to GGA if you send me an ally request: 131-545-184 or if you just request an invite if you have electric sheep as an ally already.

We have a decent amount of low level people though, so we've really only been running tier 4 raids so that most everyone can at least participate.

Ehh, I should be patient and hold on. In GGA we were alternating between T4 and T5 but now we seem to be only doing T5. I guess in a few weeks we might be having a stab at T6.

The reason I sometimes get antsy about moving up tiers is I used to get rank 1 or 2 in arena on my shard but now 6 or 7 is the best I can do due to all the raid gear others have. And don't even ask how long I have to spend on GW each day...

I'm down with trying a T6 to at least see if we can complete it in a reasonable amount of time. I'll ask in guild chat if anyone who is active in raiding (seems like we alway sit at 30-35) does not have at least one 6*.

For those guys in IGD who have alt accounts with high level chars (I'm gonna guess that's Malgrin and yig), would you guys be willing to maybe dump your alts in GGA? If we can get a few more heavy hitters, we should be able to get through T6 raids.

Ah okay, fair enough. Unless there's some higher level goons sitting around who haven't joined a guild already for some reason, then maybe we can look to picking up a couple high level pubbies if anyone has any homeless ones on their ally list. We've got a couple goons in GGA who haven't been online in 14+ days, so we can certainly make room. I'd really like to get us doing T6 within a couple weeks, so our high level guys don't get burnt out getting crap rewards that aren't useful to them.

ModeSix posted:

I'd be willing to drop down and do some lower level raids, because honestly I need the gear bits to get some of my guys up to GL7+. I'm in QGJ right now and in the T6 raids I only have 2 characters that can participate. I can field a full team in T5 and probably multiple teams in T4 easily.

This is my roster at the moment: https://swgoh.gg/u/modesix/collection/

Yeah right now we've been running T5's consistently. I kinda feel bad just switching over to T6 out of the blue, so I'd like to give our guys a heads up that they should at least work on getting one character to T6 over the next week or two so they can get the pitty rewards. (On a side note: it's incredibly stupid that you have to lock out lower level guys in your guild from participating at all in higher level raids - like, at least give them the lowest tier reward on raid completion.). Of course, another Officer or our illustrious leader wookieleaks, could just jump us to T6 right away so who knows. You're more than welcome to jump over though, if you'd like a chance to run a few more T5's.

How many openings do each guild have? If it's a fairly large number with 2+ weeks without play I can imagine some consolidation might actually be in order.

GGA currently has two people who haven't logged in for 14+ days. Two people who are 5 and 7 days days out respectively. The rest have been active, although like I said before, our raid participation is usually 30-35 out of 50. We got one of our high level guys who says he's kind of taking a break and we can kick him if needed, but he's still logging in everyday and did participate in our most recent raid, so I dunno if we should boot him.

Edit: I booted the 17-day guy and the 7-day guy. But the 14-day is an Officer, so only wookieleaks can boot him.

The mods themselves don't seem too powerful (although I've only seen the Tier 1 mods so far), but the set bonuses seem like they're gonna allow you to make just ridiculously powerful characters.

I'm all for bridging the gap somewhat but holy poo poo, the amount of frustration I have experienced in this game lately and they go ahead and let people basically double any stat(s) in the game?

Mods are a good idea if implemented well but for me this was the straw that broke the camels back and demonstrated to me beyond any shadow of a doubt that this company deserves no more of my money or free time. They fundamental are unable to deliver a stable and fun product and it seems they are not learning from their mistakes.

Anyway, peace out, I'm quitting to devote my time and energy to more worthy developers. This has been building up for the last couple of weeks so it's not just about mods, this game just isn't fun for me anymore. I'm fine with people thinking this is just sour grapes from a whale who spent around a grand on this game and now the unwashed masses get to have a team that is as good if not better than mine. It doesn't matter if the brick wall I faced in GW this morning named chendley is a ftp person or the biggest whale on the planet. I'm at the end of my personal Galaxy of Heroes journey, I'm cutting my losses and moving on.

GGA you all rock. Put in as many requests for gear as you can over the next few hours and I will give away as much of my gear as I can.

Ah poo poo, I'm sad to see you go. You've been a huge help carrying most of GGA through a lot of our raids, and it's been good having you in guild chat.

That being said, I completely understand how you feel - the GW changes and mods have seriously soured my view on the game. If it wasn't a Star Wars game, I'd have uninstalled long ago.

Take it easy and stay away from mobile F2P games :homebrew: If you ever decide to come back, you'll always have a spot in whatever guild I'm in. (assuming they end up fixing their poo poo and I stick around, of course lol)

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.
