Chewbacca and Cad Bane are decent for the raid, right? And put together a rebels pvp team and now you have Lando, now you have three scoundrels and can get the credits without looking at it like you wasted them for the scoundrel event.

so i just got my raid rewards for the second time. the second set of rewards were not as good as the first. if they really are just accidentally a second set of rewards, cool. if my earlier rewards were rolled back, not cool.

There's apparently a bug that makes this exploitable. Don't keep doing it, there were posts of people on the official forums doing it 200x and getting their account suspended.

I don't even know what I did. When the new raid started I went and looked at it to get the inbox message to go away and it sent me a second reward. It has never done that before and afaik i didn't do anything different to cause it this time.

Even with getting my QGJ to 7* and my Leia bumping my top five power up I can fully auto battle GW without losing anybody with a squad that's just 5* Barris (L), 7* Lumi, 5* Leia, 6* Rey and 7* QGJ.

Barris isn't even well skilled and I don't think anyone is better than G8.

Have you tried today's GW? They seem to have rolled back the let's make GW easier patch.


e: 8th node: 7432 Phasma, 7892 RG, 7759 QGJ, 6968 GS, 7190 Rey. That's 37,231 power total. My arena squad has 36,708 power.

Finally beat it with QGJ (L), Bariss, EE, RG, Daka with everyone at full health. Goddamn that took a lot of tries, and at one point I was just down to QGJ and Daka...and they were both hurting.

9 was easy, 10 was hard, 11 was hard. 12 had 3-4* heroes, like has been reported elsewhere.

CG has acknowledged that Scanners were supposed to cost 1400, and they will in the future.

I just did GW and auto'd through it like usual. I did see a few more droid teams than usual and Rey died in the second to last fight, but I was autoing GW before they patched it to be easier recently too so v:shobon:v

The thing about GW that sorta drives me nuts, and this doesn't personally affect me at all, is like the people that have to spend 40+ minutes to finish this poo poo and have to have multiple teams, all to get the exact same rewards they got at level 20. Making it scale in difficulty but not prizes, I don't know, it seems like people wouldn't be as unhappy if they weren't struggling to get the same poo poo they got before.

Please go droids because this game needs some variety, rather than another team of Ray, RG, Phasma, STHan, Sid, QGJ or Geo Soldier. I know it's the devs fault but I wish people would try something different rather than min maxing. Seriously the top 25 of my arena are all pretty much the same team.

And also gently caress the devs for adding Dengar to the guild store, now Jawa Engi shows up even less than he did before. I have enough credits to upgrade him to 7* but he's never available!

I currently have a generic dodge lead/Rey/ST Han/QGJ team but I am working on a rebel team and that seems like a lot of fun. It's probably not ~optimal~ but its nice that you can farm a lot of it at the same time. Sucks that three pieces come from arena but my ST Han was 6* already and I have AA unlocked and am not sure he absolutely NEEDS to be maxed out before the team works.

Unfortunately unlocking QGJ took so long that I don't even have HRS unlocked yet, but it's nice that I can work on it while I work on Lando.

I have Leia and ST Han at 6* and 70~ both at gear level 8 i think, Lando is only 5* and close to 6* only gear level 7, and AA at 4* gear level 7 and my rebel team can clean up GW for me. Until I hit the two really hard nodes, that is.

Lando should hit 6* some time this week. Unfortunately HRS only hit 4* today but he's about to hit a relatively easy g8. I still need to skill up HRS and AA so I'm not in a huge rush, and I only get t500 arena prizes so Leia and ST Han to 7 is definitely gonna take a minute.

Not sure AA needs to really be above 4* for this team? Anyone running it have any feedback or anyone smart have any thoughts?

So mods are clearly retarded, and hopefully they tone them down big time, but it is worth pointing out that right now, they can greatly level the playing field between those who have their guys fully geared and those that don't. In the current state, you can spend about 5 million credits and 500 or so cantina energy and be just as good as someone that had thrown down thousands of dollars for this game. Even if you bought all that for crystals, you are talking something like 7,000 crystals or $50 to be just as good as their 10 grand.

In the end, this, more than anything else is why they will *have* to change the mod system, the whales won't stand for it.

I don't have enough mods to fully kit out Leia yet and she's only 6*, but she tends to get a turn for every three characters and is doing somewhere between 2k (lmao) to 30k damage per attack. She's not on the same level as my Rey, but my Rey is at 7* and all level 15 mods.

I guess for now my rebel team is indefinitely on hold since my Old Ben/ST Han team is so idiotic now in front of those two.

between mods not dropping from every fight now and them dropping 3* in the 16 energy battle, man i don't know. i need more 5* mods but spending 190 energy or so and getting three total mods, and two of them are 3*, that was brutal.

especially since doing my three daily cantina battles got me 3 aayla shards. is she worth farming? she looks fun.

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?

Thanks to how busted rank 15 tier 5 mods are, I went from having trouble cracking top 200 on my old as gently caress shard to easily sitting at 107 all day today. I am the only sub 80 that I have seen since rank 250 or so but apparently nobody can beat my lower level squad because my Rey/Leia are busted and my ST Han is only partially beefed up.

I haven't finished GW in 2 months, on some boards I can't even get past the first 6 battles or so - I run into really high geared teams that easily beat me.

the method i am using to depress my GP by not activating poo poo i dont need until i need it SHOULD avoid this. mine would have been insane as a final node but unless i am not remembering correctly there are still two nodes on my board not even unlocked. even if they were geared lovely a 33 level advantage is a bit much.

its pretty dumb that i am specifically gaming the system and stuff like this can still happen

I have only ever failed a single GW. The one i failed was before i knew that you could quit a battle you would lose and have all your dudes back to what they were before.
Sure, i started playing them before they changed how they work and added sims but surely they didn't change that much?

i dont think anyone could avoid failing the GW i got, i mean if the RNG decides to toss a team 30+ levels higher than me with full 7* when i am level 42 i just cant do anything

24 sims later: Double of nothing is still nothing, so technically i too experienced double drops.

ive been crazy lucky on the double drops so far and might be able to get my phoenix to 5* before the event ends. initially i assumed my obstacle would be getting hera to 5* because of cantina drops but now i have to cross my fingers that GW doesnt gently caress me enough to finish zeb in time.

i know 5* palpatine probably isnt super duper great but it'll still be nice for trying to clear out those empire nodes for now.

i have to say since i have a new account none of this has any impact on me whatsoever but i also have to say with some of the poo poo i've read has gone on lately i am a bit wishy washy on spending literally infinity energy farming bastilla and jolee on these hard nodes.

because of the timing of where thrawn and palpatine showed up i will have both of them at 5. i will be able to get hera to six in the next day but from what i understand 6* thrawn is way beyond what i'll be able to do at level 61 or 62. i absolutely cant crack top 50 in my arena shard because as it turns out my account joined the tail end of a new arena shard and i dont have the patience or interest in rerolling after that happened. i do consistently sit top 100 but i'm not sure how long that will be true if i put off getting phoenix to 7. i think i want to try and do ezra to 7 and then join QGJ so i can at least get some raid materials and the shards, i've been waiting on a 7* for that reason, is that dumb or no.

anyway i got cad bane, i'm trying to get boba, i want to have a few BH semi ready and i kinda wanna farm KRU after i finish Ezra since i figure i'll have a long time to worry about finishing phoenix before palpatine and thrawn come back, but i really would prefer to keep top 100 in arena for the 100 crystals. i don't know. phoenix mirror matches are irritating as hell in arena.

right now my roadmap is ezra/kanaan both to 7 as they'll also be part of a GMY team later, and farming bastilla and jollee for revan asap. that'll give me 4/5th of a GMY team as well as a decent headstart on a bastilla team for arena. in the meantime i think i can work on KRU in cantina until i can unlock the other two in there. whats the timetable on events like EP and thrawn, how much time am i looking at before they're back and i have to worry about getting them at 7?

I would argue your next priority should be a first order squad to get bb8 and then JTR, which has a lovely grind. Or bypass and do the Revan grind.

even though i only have palpatine and thrawn at 5 i am starting on the revan grind. three hard nodes is gonna be a long rear end time, and since i am gonna have kanan and ezra from phoenix anyway that's basically a ready made revan arena team, altho obviously not the ideal one. but it seems like since there are three hard nodes anyway i might as well start on it now.

edit: i actually got lucky and it showed up in a shipment before my fleet arena timer, as it turns out gaining 14k power was a good way to jump into the top 50. i may be able to do top 25 with this group or if the shipments are nice to me before fleet arena reset tomorrow and give me the other phoenix ship i will gain another 12k and should be able to cruise

as a new account where some farms are changes stuff with regard to the old road map a great deal, and i am not looking forward to the mission and t3 farm but at least i will have something like six? levels of farming t3 where i cant even open missions node yet so i hope that'll help with that some.

the one thats killing me is that bastila, jolee and zalbaar are all on hard nodes. i am only doing bastila and jolee and thats still putting a hurting on my energy every day. i am doing three refreshes on normal energy which hasnt come back to haunt me yet since i am getting top 100 arena/top 50 ships but all of these hard nodes i have to farm suuuuuck.

i am getting a young lando i didnt expect to be getting because ships is beyond idiotic rng, ive been at 20/25 for ghost for several days now :I
