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

Got Old Daka from a Bronzium, pretty awesome. That's two characters from Bronzium in the last few days. Granted I think it's only my 3rd character from Bronzium overall.

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

You'll be happy to know they are re-jiggering GW to avoid seeding you against behemoths soon.

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

GW today was a fucking joke. I'm level 61 and on my 3rd node they have me go up against a 65 all purple gear team. I used suicide squads and still got my ass handed to me.

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

Yeah, they said they changed it but it has seemed significantly harder today. Very unlikely I finish, or even get much further. I'm only L59 and I have the same opponent. WTF?

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

Once again, down to my last guys to finish out GW. Last opponent was a ridiculous whale with Rey, Maul, FOTP, Dooku and another player. Ridiculous.

May start alternating b/w Akbar and DS with Arena tokens. Read somewhere that the difference b/w 6 and 7* with DS (maybe others) is only a 10% stat boost. That's not really all that economical for the shard and credit investment, IMHO.

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

Lucked out and had a pretty easy GW today. So random... They need to fine tune it, because I either get super easy ones or impossible ones.

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

Nice, keep up the good work! No immediate plans to get a Jedi team for the new character?

I pulled a Dathcha from a Bronzium, so that's at least something, even though I will put 0 effort into him going forward.

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

My player level is 36 and my current roster is:

Clone Wars Chewie (4* / lvl 36 / gear 4)
Jedi Consular (2* / lvl 36 / gear 3)
Talia (3* / lvl 36 / gear 4)
Jawa (3* / lvl 36 / gear 3)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 36 / gear 4)
Ewok Scout (1* / lvl 36 / gear 3)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 36 / gear 4)
Royal Guard (1* / lvl 36 / gear 3)
Snow Trooper (1* / lvl 36 / gear 3)


Been playing for a week. Haven't had much luck since the 1st day as far as unlocking characters - with the Bronzium Packs. I currently follow the previously stated advice of completing all the Daily tasks and and ranked 954 in arena battles. I am also saving up crystals for the chromium 8 pack. Any other advice from you high ranking animals?

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

Do not save crystals for chromium cards. Spend that on energy refreshes for more XP, more gear, more shards.

Regular energy is 120 per refresh which costs 50 crystals for the first refresh every day. The 2nd is also 50. After that it isn't worth it unless you're making a bunch in the arena.

You can get a single Cantina refresh for 100 each day. That's good because it helps speed up the Cantina shipments which are unbearably slow otherwise.

I'm currently ignoring regular refreshes and instead doing 2 Cantina refreshes (100+200) each day as I farm Mace and QGJ for the upcoming Jedi event.

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

Decided to spend $20 and get a crystal pack. Used 2500 on the 8-pack which still left me quite a bit for energy refreshers. Got Old Ben! Was pretty excited about it but he'll probably be at 4*'s forever.

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

That's the biggest problem with those packs. The best you can hope for is someone you (currently) cannot promote so all you're doing is filling out the roster which, at least, does let you get closer to a 5* Vader.

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

Well without you I'd be nowhere :)

I just didn't want to waste tokens on Koth. It's not just tokens. It's credits/energy to gear him up.

I may end up farming Mace a bit since I will be done with GS by no later than Wednesday. I had wanted to do Talia but can wait a bit on it.

I am 95% certain they will release a Jedi pack of some sort when the event starts. I'd rather just spend a little on that.

Still kicking myself for buying the Droid over the Heriones pack. Really stupid.

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

My best advice is not do what I did early, which is spread yourself too too thin with players. For example, of the players you listed above, I would only dedicate resources to Chewie, JC, Talia and Jawa.

I would use Catina resources for farming GS shards to open him up, then alternate using catina to upgrade GS, JC and Talia while using rewards on QGJ and Poe.

You should also be saving all arena resources for Sid.

In terms of gear, concentrate on those pieces that really impact your player, like health, speed, strength and dmg. Do those first then go back around and fill out gears.

The key is efficient use of resources. If you are building up, say, clone sgt., then you are wasting it. It's a grind at first but once you open more players it really opens up alot more.

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

Jedi team progress report:

Lumi 7* - Complete

JC 6* - 26/100 to 7*. Getting 3-5 shards/day over 9 regular mission sims. ETA: 2 weeks.

Mace 4* - 9/65 to 5*. Unlocked yesterday. Farming heavy in Cantina, 360 energy/day (300 crystals for refreshes) plus 3 regular mission sims. Getting 7-12 shards/day. ETA: 7 days.

QGJ 4* - 11/65 to 5*. Getting 15 shards every other day through Cantina tokens due to frequent Mace sims. ETA: 7 days.

Eeth 3* - 15/95 to 5*. Getting 10 shards/day in Arena. ETA: 8 days.

So, if I keep my current pace, I should have a team of five 5* Jedi by next Wednesday. As long as the event is still going on then, the new character will be mine! Unless he/she/it completely sucks, I see no reason why I won't try to get the rest of the team up to 7* before it rolls around again. Yes, I don't see myself using Eeth permanently, but collecting his shards is no different than collecting the new character's shards at this point so my Arena tokens feel well-spent :)

I wonder what the other themed teams will be? Sith is the most obvious choice, but with only 5 characters (Sidious, Vader, Maul, Opress, and Dooku), it's kind of a tall order. Especially since Maul is unfarmable. I wonder if they'll open it up to "red lightsaber wielders" or something stupid so at least Kylo and Asajj are candidates.

What else? Scoundrels? Droids? Attackers?

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

They should do a Java/Ewok team-up themed event.

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

Hey! I have enough to field a 5-member team for that now! Wicket would be the prize.

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

I haven't looked at this thread in a while and I haven't been reading blogs about the game so I've been missing out on this upcoming Jedi event. All I have is the Jedi Consular, Luminara, and the Jedi Guardian. Not sure who to farm. Probably Qui-Gon Jinn, though I'm at zero shards.

The new character has got to be Yoda, right?

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

Ashoka and Eeth Koth are probably the easiest to farm Jedi that aren't in your lineup.

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

I decided that I'm just not going to significantly alter my plans just to get this new Jedi. I want a player that will be an integral part of my team at the end. So I will continue to finish up GS to 5* then use Catina for Mace and continue to farm for Barriss shards and hope for miracle chromium pulls.

I still strongly believe that EA will release a Jedi pack of some kind to draw in people who are close to the event. It will likely have Lumi and JC shards plus two full lesser Jedi characters of some kind. To me, it's more worth it to spend on that, so long as it reasonably priced.

TLDR - I fucking hate Eeth Koth and do not want him anywhere near my team.

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

My Jedi team progress:

Luminara 6* 10/100
JC* 46/100
QGJ 5*
MW 4* 8/65
EK 3* 0/30 (sitting on 5,800 Arena Tokens) I'll level him to 5 depending on who the character is.

I have 4* Ashoka and Barris, but Ashoka is too slow and Barris isn't farmable for me yet.

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

For me, he won't be outside of this event. I'm not spending any money, gear, training droids, or mats on him. I'm just doing to the shards which, as I mentioned, are basically just shards for the new character at this point since Lumi, JC, QGJ, and Mace (after his buff) will be a good team, especially if the Yoda leak is true for his leader ability.

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

I'm hoarding Arena tokens right now just to see what happens. Holding off on raising star level of DS both due to credits (1M) and also b/c of rumored impact on GW opponents. When I'm more set on GW token characters I'll promote him and Lumi.

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

I don't read the forums. Can you elaborate on or link to the GW rumors?

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

There are two well settled factors determining GW opponents:

- Highest ever arena rank; and
- Power total of top 10 characters

However, another factor is said to be whether or not you have any 7* characters. May only be anecdotal (although many people have said it) but when people started promoting characters to 7*, they more regularly ran into all 7* purple geared super teams. Considering that promoting from 6 to 7 only improves your overall character value by approximately 10% and costs 1M credits, some folks think that it may be better to hold off promoting anyone to 7* until your team is stronger.

I believe that GW tokens are more valuable than Arena b/c you can get more of them daily and the character selection is much better (e.g., Lumi, 86, Poggle, Phasma, Biggs) compared to Arena. Others disagree b/c with Arena you can get massive crystal rewards but tokens really are limited to DS and maybe Koth unless you want someone like Greedo, Han, Ackbar, or Ventress). Personally I feel GW has the advantage b/c you can rake in almost 500k credits a day which goes a long way in advancing characters.

The 7* factor has never been confirmed by the devs (or denied for that matter) but there's enough evidence I see to convince me to hold off for now.
