New achievement when you unlock 7* Yoda nets 50 crystals, 500k credits, and 5 Vader shards.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Well, it will only take you 2000 crystals to get what you need to do it, lol.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I was more happy about bonus Vader shards ;)

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I love Vader. I will use him pretty much nonstop when he hits 5*.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

It's always been that way? I guess I've just never ran out until now.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Some richer on FB has already posted a photo of a 5*, 71/85 "Rex".

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

One guy on the forums bragged about spending $10k on the game and said that he would probably spend $50k before all was said and done. Sounds like a trust fund baby.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

For $50K, they could probably buy life size replicas of the characters they are looking for. -screwy-

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I see rumblings of a $60 Jedi pack. 4* Anakin & 2* QGJ plus 55 QGJ shards (what?) and 25 Ashoka shards plus about $10 worth of crystals and other free shit.

Edit: Yep. Restart the app and it's there. Awful.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

It's really just $30 for the characters and $30 worth of credits and crystals, but it's not a good deal. For $25, yes. Not for $60. The biggest problem is that while Anakin is a good toon, he's barely farmable. You are talking three upper level nodes to get 270 more shards to 7* him. WTF? If they added him to even Catina I would think more about it, but not this way.

Also, there is a known bug with it not even giving you the credits, so there's that too.

This game is becoming a real cash grab. I'll wait for another offer down the road on something else.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I give up trying to figure out GW. So I got past that PIA node, which was 3rd to last, and the last two were super easy.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

See my earlier post. Intentional.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Data mining has revealed that the next event may be a "Scoundrel" event for Han Solo.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Don't worry, they will release a character pack for $75 with 15 Greedo shards, a 2* Lando, and a baby Chewie.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

$60? They must be out of their god damn minds!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I've just seen a bunch of rage over the changes to how move order is calculated and the negative effect it's had on Poe without any mention of it beforehand. People demanding their cantina tokens back.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

That's one reason why I'll never understand why people will dump so much money in games like this. Developers can easily (and often feel they need to) change things to make whatever you spent potentially a lot of money on worthless (or just worth less, whatever).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

The interesting thing is that Google Play has been VERY good about giving refunds over nerfs in this game. There are multiple reports of people getting back basically everything they've paid into it, and EA not really taking any action in response.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Someone posted that instead of buying the pack, you could use $60 on crystals and use it exclusively on Catina, which will net you way more in the long run in terms of QGJ shards plus whoever else you are farming, in addition to droids, credits, and mats. Nice to see that in perspective.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I don't know about that. Maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky, but I repeatedly burn through 100+ energy on Cantina battles and net maybe 1 or 2 character shards. I'm still trying to figure out how some of you have multiple 6 and 7 star characters, because I'm lucky if I get 5 shards a day for any 1 specific character. And yes I do use crystals to refresh the energy, and I do the hard battles when they're available for whatever character I'm trying to farm for. It's really becoming frustrating as hell. My squad arena rank has dropped from top 50 to barely under 300 because my A squad has become stagnant, and I'm having major problems unlocking/leveling up anyone that can keep me competetive. Im level 58 and chewbacca is still one of my strongest characters. It's pathetic. :lol:

I have Luminara and Sidious just like everybody else, but characters like Phasma, Dooku, Old Daka, Poggle, etc would probably give my lineup that little boost that I need... but I'm not even close to unlocking any of them. I have QGJ unlocked , but he's only 2 stars and not even close to making a difference. I think I was all over the place when I was starting out, and now I don't have any type of synergy in my lineup.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

There is no doubt that RNG can be a real asshole. Try farming from different shards (don't just use your whole wad on one shard) and be willing to wait and come back later to see if the RNG resets or acts differently.

If you dedicate all of your resources to a single character, that would be better. Just put all GW tokens to Phasma and you'll probably open her by this weekend. All Catina tokens go to QGJ and you'll have him to 4* before you know it. Then things will get easier.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

From Reddit, here are some preliminary Yoda findings:

1) With QGJ lead, Yoda will join the ranks of Fast Old Men And Women (151+23=174), thus following the SWGOH tradition of old people being faster than young ones; Dooku, Sidious, Daka > Ahsoka, Asajj. As Yoda is the oldest of them all, Yoda is of course the fastest of them all. (Old Daka is just name-sake)

2) First turn Ataru -(Foresight Intact)-> Battle Meditation -> Party-wide Foresight! (Take that suckers!)

3) BTW, Foresight is the strongest buff in game, allowing you to dodge next incoming attack

4) Let's do tick-by-tick analysis vs. Asajj for fun (Let's assume, for fun, that Asajj doesn't have her own speed leader skill and that Yoda receives one from QGJ)

6th Tick: Yoda (1000) takes his first turn, with Ataru, receives 25% turn meter boost; Asajj (516)
7th Tick: Yoda (1250+174=1424); Asajj (516+86=602)
8th Tick: Yoda (1598); Asajj (688)
9th Tick: Yoda (1772); Asajj (774)
10th Tick: Yoda (1946); Asajj (860)
11th Tick: Yoda (2120) takes his second turn, and spreads Foresight to all allies; Asajj (946)

5) Turn fast, the meta will.

6) Yoda will be the second hero (next to QGJ) to have more SPECIAL attacks than PHYSICAL one.

7) Yoda will be fourth hero to have 4x none-leader skill abilities (the others being: Asajj, Rey, Kylo)

8) Yoda will be the second hero to reach 6-tick-speed tier (the other being Leia with 152+23=175 speed)

9) Yoda is the third hero to have Foresight ability (the others being Resistance Pilot and Rey)

10) Yoda will be the first hero to have Tenacity Up ability

11) Yoda will be the first buff stealer hero

12) Yoda will be the first hero to have "Turn Meter upon Resist" leader skill

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Update. Shard farming has dropped considerably from the campaign nodes.

Lumi 7* - Still complete. Now level 70. Abilities 7/7/7/6. Only a +25AGI gear away from being fully maxed for the current game.

JC 6* - 26/100 to 7*. Haven't got a single shard in 18 mission sims over the last two days! This will not do! WTF, CG?! ETA: infinity.

Mace 4* - 36/65 to 5*. Still doing 39 sims/day and getting 25-30% success rate. ETA: 4 days.

QGJ 4* - 31/65 to 5*. Getting 15 shards every other day through Cantina tokens due to frequent Mace sims. ETA: 3 days.

Eeth 4* - 5/65 to 5*. Getting 10 shards/day in Arena. ETA: 6 days.


I don't know what they did, if anything, to change the drop rate for shards, but I'm getting next to nothing now. In addition to nothing for JC in 2+ days, but I didn't get any Dooku shards over 6 attempts this morning either. I do think I got at least 1 yesterday, so that's something.

Other progress. Phasma is now 7* but I don't know who to farm in GW. Poggle, I guess, but I wish there were Scoundrels or Sith in there.

A-Team is now level 70 so it'll be nice to upgrade some other players now, especially since I can do the Tier V challenges for droids, credits, and mats!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

I love it when the game gives me the option to borrow your heroes Pinata! ;)

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

You are not the only one complaining about shard drop rates. Devs have posted several times that rates have not fallen and that one can expect on shards about a 25% drop rate. But the reality is that it really smells when numerous people indicate a drop in JEDI shard rate when you as EA know that people are farming like crazy to try and get Jedis for the Yoda event, buying more crystals for refreshes. JC in particular really seems to be a hard pull, several others have had the same experiences you have had. I'm holding him at 5* for now while I work on others from Catina (Mace esp.) So you are not alone in your sentiment.

Do not sleep on Poggle. He is shit for offense but his specials grant a massive offense up for the team.

But if you are looking for a good use of GW tokens, I would suggest the massive damage dealer IG-86. he pretty much destroys folks at higher star levels. Plus the nice thing is with login credits, you will already have 15 shards coming you for him (he's the COTM).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Really trying like hell now to get to L62 before Sunday so I can open up the higher level challenges. I'm at 61.5 now so I probably should be OK. Need more purple gear for my boys!!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Poggle is great for granting buffs, but is that a good thing going forward with Yoda out there?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Basically if you face Yoda, you will lose, unless you have Yoda, and then you will lose if they have a higher QGJ than you. Welcome to the new meta.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

40/80 on Mace. Not bad, I started the week at 6/80. Outside chance of unlocking before the event ends. I won't refresh for 400 crystals though, no matter what.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

new problem - my team is getting too powerful on my shard and no one can take me below rank 40 in arena. That is sort of my soft cap for GW purposes but I have to fight three times to get dailies. I can';t even lose on auto!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Have you thought about putting scrubs in the Arena to tank your ranking?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

LOL, that solution is so damn simple it never even occurred to me. You are MY Yoda in this game, Pinata.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

:lol:

Speaking of Yoda, his event is super simple. It's nothing more than a gateway to getting his shards and a bunch of crystals. Just like that, I have 100 Yoda shards just sitting idle.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Need some help. I was ignorantly farming Luke, thinking he would be a Jedi, but he's not. So I don't have 5 Jedis for the event.

I'm currently Player Level 43. Here's where I'm at:

Light Side:

Lumi 3* (15/30 to 4*), Lvl 42, Gear Lvl IV
Jedi Consular 2* (21/25 to 3*), Lvl 42, Gear IV
Clone Wars Chewie 3* (12/30 to 4*), Lvl 35, Gear III
Eeth Koth 3* (0/30), Lvl 42, Gear II
Luke Skywalker 3* (0/30), Lvl 42, Gear II
Jawa 3* (0/30), Lvl 34, Gear III
Qui-Gon Jin 2* (0/25), Lvl 42, Gear II
Clone Sergeant - Phase 1, 1* (8/15 to 2*), Lvl 34, Gear III
Ewok Scout 1* (9/15 to 2*), Lvl 32, Gear II

Dark Side:

Talia 3* (4/30 to 4*), Lvl 42, Gear III
Royal Guard 1* (6/15 to 2*), Lvl 43, Gear IV
IG-86 1* (0/15), Lvl 34, Gear III
Snowtrooper 1* (0/15), Lvl 32, Gear III
Geonosian Soldier 1* (3/15 to 2*), Lvl 41, Gear III

Based on my player level, I'm currently locked to the first two levels of the Cantina. I just opened up Dark Side Level 4 Hard, and do have up through Light Side 4 Hard opened up.

In Cantina, should I keep building QGJ? Or focus on Ashako to get my 5th Jedi? Or turn to Sidious (10/80) or Old Daka (0/80)?

In GW, should I use the shipments to quickly build up Lumi? Or go after Phasma? Or something else?

Would love some suggestions on where to focus and how best to proceed.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

It really comes down to a binary choice: is Yoda your most immediate goal? If so, go for Lumi (GW), Koth (Arena), QGJ (Cantina). You can farm JC and Ahsoka from hard missions. Bonus if you can get to Cantina 3-A, you can farm JC there on your way to QGJ.

If you don't care about Yoda, then you should follow the conventional wisdom and stick with Lumi (GW), Sid (Arena), QGJ (Cantina). You can then focus on farming gear and 3-starring nodes to keep those people growing.

If you aren't spending crystals each day you may consider doing one of the following, depending on your daily income from Arena, GW, and Daily Activities:

50 - One regular refresh for farming and 3-starring.
100 - Two regular refreshes...
100 - One Cantina refresh
150 - One regular and one Cantina refresh
200 - Two regular and one Cantina refresh
300 - Two Cantina refreshes

No matter what you choose, you will be increasing your player level more quickly which, in turn, brings new challenge tiers and bonus energy (at least until you hit 70).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

What about continuing Lumi, Sid, GS to 7*? Am I just better off focusing on Jedi's instead?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

There will never* be anything wrong with those power players. Jedis are only necessary if you want Yoda.



*Until a nerf hits

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Sure, but is it worth it if the gain is only ~10% over 6*? 100 shards is no joke!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Thanks. I'd like to at least start on Yoda if possible.

So I'll focus on Lumi, Koth and QGJ. I'm having my ass handed to me on the first hard battle of level 4 on the dark side, so not sure when I'm gonna get to the 3rd node to start farming Ahsoka.

Also, when people say "GS," are they referring to the Geneosian Soldier, or someone else?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 

Yes, GS=Geneosian Soldier who, at high levels, is an absolute monster. He has potential for 6k+ power.
