The drop rate for shards is supposed to be 35%. I agree sometimes it doesn't feel like that...RNGesus.

Yeah, I just went 3/30 on Mace shards this morning. But then I went 4/9 on JC.

Finally, how GW opponents are calculated, and hopefully a fix coming:

This must be why I don't have any problem. My squad power is 23,642 in a sea of 25-26k opponents in PVP.

Why are you even farming Fett anyway? He hits like a wet noodle. His special which blocks abilities is nice but he has no defense and goes down like Linda Lovelace.

A guy posted an album to Reddit a bit ago showing a battle in his GW where he faced off against a ridiculously easy squad. A light sneeze would have taken the lot out.

Someone threw out a burner squad on that node. He got lucky enough to draw it. Pretty simple.

So I almost did the unthinkable last night. I finally got to the end of GW, only to be hit with full 7s, 70s all-star team. I burned through 14 players to get to only barely alive one guy and full another. But out of roster.

I nearly threw $100 at chromium packs just to get a new player to help me finish. But then I realized the end rewards for GW are not all that great, certainly not worth $100. So I didn't. Plus, I watched some opening videos, and it looks like I would end up with a 7* Royal Guard and Snowtrooper more than anything else anyway.

:lol: I dunno, a few weeks back everyone was raving about him. I'm at like 68/80 so I might as well finish him off to unlock him at least.

I had back-to-back Bronzium packs this morning that produced a full Snowtrooper. Since I already had him, that turned in to 14 shards. What a waste.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
And I literally just got a 3rd! Good god...

Gooter 02-18-16 10:21 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Yeah, my snow trooper is at 3 stars already solely from bronze pulls.

GW is still a damn yo-yo for me. One day it is super easy, the next it is a struggle. Guess that is the point? lol

I finally unlocked Vader too. He's going to be 4 stars for a super long time. Don't know if I will invest in him.

Savage Opress is unlocked too. Again, haven't dumped anything in to him yet. Unlocked him to help get Vader shards.

Put Daka on hold to invest in QGJ as he is such a beast even at 2 stars but super squishy.

Phasma is 5 stars and working on getting IG86 and GS up to 5 as well.

Yoda comes back in 21 days. No other events currently on the schedule. I like him quite a bit in GW even though he rarely gets to use the buff steal, but his speed is just crazy, especially when QGJ comes right behind him with an extra assist. Those 3 hits is sometimes enough to make it 5v4 right out of the gate. If not, Sidious is fast enough to finish the job.

Foresight keeps him healthy and, if I'm lucky, I can replicate it to everyone else. Just wish the Battle Meditation cooldown wasn't so bad.

I'm going to keep on him and get those 7*. I just hope I don't have to put too much into Eeth to make the final two tiers passable.

DVD Josh 02-18-16 01:34 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I just went up against a 3* Vader. How is that possible? He unlocks at 4*, and there is no way someone unlocked him with pure shards from the shop.

GW cheating again today. Full 70s 7*s on node 8. Glad I didn't give this shit company $100. Whatever, crystals only from now on. Fuck these assholes.

flashburn 02-18-16 05:10 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
That blows, but at least they've addressed the issue with GW and it sounds like they are planning on fixing it. It's just a question of when.

DVD Josh 02-19-16 08:43 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Growing closer to being done with this time/cash sink. Drop rates have fallen to near zero. I have simmed over 30 times for the purple gel and ZERO have dropped. Shards have become needles in haystacks. GW is an impossible joke. These are very common complaints across the boards. I am strongly considering going completed F2P until things improve.

pinata242 02-19-16 10:26 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Cannot blame you. I've thought about that many times. They really need to add more modes and community features. I'm burnt out on the little I'm allowed to do every day.

Agreed. I'm ready to yell at you chucklefucks that you're not pulling your weight.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Unlocked Mace today which then unlocked Vader, that was nice. So now I'm ready to at least do the first couple Yoda missions when they come back around. Hopefully by then I'll have everyone to 4* (or is it 5*?) to unlock Yoda.

Groucho 02-19-16 11:21 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
It's 5* -- I didn't make it this last go around but I should be able to at least unlock him by the next one.

Okay, it's going to be tough getting QGJ to 5* in time, but doing two energy refills on cantina should get me there I think.

You just started playing at 22 and already have a 5* Phasma? How did you manage that?

I accepted you though. Glad to help.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Took every player I had but I finally finished GW for the first time in a week today. Ridiculous. Got a useless QBJ shard too. This game sucks.

pinata242 02-19-16 03:20 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Sucks, man. I got a Vader shard today. Not sure if that's any more or less useless.

I don't know who to level every day now. I could just spend a single 1* each day to move up Poggle and the like, or I could spend more to move someone like Daka or Vader or Kylo up marginally even though I have no immediate use for them. I'm kind of stockpiling because I don't know if I'll need to bring Eeth and Mace up to complete Yoda farming next time. Kind of sucks having no direction.

The single shard at the end of GW is a kick in the nuts regardless of who you get.

I once got Vader when I was sitting at 79/80. So that was pretty cool.

It should be several shards. And more money. And more mats. And more everything.

pinata242 02-19-16 04:09 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
If the shard shop was less of a pointless rip-off, I'd be happy with the GW rewards. Imagine if the ratio wasn't 20:2 and you had more, constant options in the SS? It would be amazing. Instead, I've just been putting 15 into Poggle each day and IG-86 will be next unless a new character shows up. I see no sense in stockpiling since I can barely spend the 1500 each day and refuse to spend crystals to refresh.

Well, I started a week ago but haven't been playing all that much until the last few days.

Wait I have a 5* Phasma? When did THAT happen?

Very strong rumor that Greivious will be the new shard shop exclusive next week.
