Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
You do need Old Daka, no doubt.
I'm always fine with doing a one-off to unlock someone new, like Fives. But you might be better off just farming him from LS4-F and DS2-D rather than pricey Cantina tokens. Plus each of those drop gear you will need anyway.

The $4.99$10.99 crystal pack is 2200 crystals over 21 days. Note that you have to log in every day and collect the 100 crystal payout or you lose it.

Don't buy chrome. The snow got the best of me yesterday and I bought an 8 way. The BEST I got was Grand Moff Tarkin, who is not that great. It's a sucker's pursuit.

You do have to have spent at least $4.99 in the store previously to see this offer.

Thanks Groucho!
Wait, I haven't bought anything hence the reason why I don't see this offer but does that mean I have to buy crystals twice? Once to see the offer and another to get it, or just buy once?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
piñata is correct, you have to spend $4.99 on something else in the store, and after that the $10.99 daily subscription back will show up.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I don't know what you see because some offers are for new players only.
For the current $10.99 subscription pack, you need to have already paid $4.99+ on something in the store. You can't buy what you can't see and that's how you make it visible.
If there's another pack I'm not seeing, then jump on it.

Even if you do get something great, if it's Chromium-only you'll have to spend a ton of money to get the additional shards for that character. Right now Darth Maul is my all-star but he'll get left behind as I shard-up the rest of my team.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'm having fun, though there's a lot of grinding. It almost feels like the game is the grind and that doesn't hold my interest as much as, say, The Simpsons: Tapped Out that's full of grinding but also good story. I don't see myself spending money until I can get out of what feels like grind mode (and if it takes spending money to have to stop grinding, that feels off to me).
Coming up at 2,200 crystals. Thoughts on going for the big 8-card pack?

All I know for sure is that Daka is a necessity. I have 22/50 on Fives myself and I don't have a need for him. I get his shards from farming his nodes for gear someone needs at that moment.
If they add more clones in the future to make him a sensible leader, maybe I could see having Fives on a C team.

Speaking of JC shards, I'm about to take him to 6*. I don't see taking him out of my lineup any time soon, but I'm also not sure if I want to invest in the time to farm another 100 shards for him. The only plus side is the sheer number of options I have each day to do that. Then again, he's so highly geared that he's at 4,200 power at only 5*!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
For any lower level (sub 50s) players still having problems with GW, it is invaluable to have a suicide squad to cause teams to waste their specials. It doesn't even have to be five players. If Dooku or Sid's first move is killing me, I throw out some nimrods to burn them. Then the A team comes back in and mops up.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
That's definitely good advice. Also, retreating is an invaluable tactic. I almost couldn't complete my run today so I had to do a lot of trial & error to get through the last 3-4 missions.
Back to JC. Am I the only one that never seems to get the benefit of his "25% chance of cooldown reduction" on his basic attack? I haven't done a full scientific study on this, but I cannot think of a single instance where I was shocked that my healing or attack-as-defense skill were already ready again.
