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

The rewards seem kind of lame but if you get shards that may make it better.

I predict that they will offer Magnaguard shards. If so, I may not even bother.

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

Let me be more clear.

Google Play Exclusive? :down:

;)

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

Fuck all this exclusive bullshit. Fuck this game in general, these dev's are a bunch of greedy fucks. They aren't getting another dime from me. Not that they care anyway, since apparently the whales are enough to keep them running.

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

It already sucks that your account is locked to one platform. Exclusives like this make it just a bit worse.

I just finished the 4* Yoda tier. Not very difficult. But that nearly constant foresight was annoying. He moved so often that he made the dark side 5A hard battle Chewie seem like an inert lump. If only I could get those boss versions on my squad. Run them as a duo in arena. Surprise some folks.

I still need to get 2 of my Jedi to 5*. Maybe next time.

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

This really has nothing to do with EA/CG. Google approached them about taking part in the promotion and they agreed to do so. Apple never does stuff like this, so blame Apple, not EA.

Now, if you want to call them greedy for that ridiculously overpriced Jedi package, you'll hear nothing from me.

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

In other news, I decided to go for broke and see if I can get Mace up to 6* before the end of Yoda event. I'm at 40/85 with just over four days left. I don't think I can get there but its worth it as even blue geared 5* Yoda at L60 is pretty damn awesome.

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

I like him. In arena, if I face Dooku and/or Daka, the first thing I do is spend his turn for tenacity+. This saves everyone from the dreaded stuns. Bonus is that Sid also can't heal-block anyone. Not attacking first is a small price to pay, especially when QGJ is next and he's going to call in an assist anyway.

My rank has held pretty well the last two days. Got up to 34 and only dropped to like 66 instead of 166. Climbed back up easily enough today.

Though, now that I'm sitting on 6,400 tokens, I don't know how much longer I'm not going to spend them on Ventress. Maybe I'll do one purchase every day and stockpile the rest until we hear about this rumored addition to the shop.

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

Looks like they didn't adjust for DST. All the bonus energy is pushed back an hour as well as the arena deadline.

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

Made it to top 20 today. That's pretty cool. Thanks scary Yoda!

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

And here I'm struggling to make top 600. This game hates me as much as I hate it.

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

Reached a point today where I have the shards to promote Lumi but not the currency. That's a first! Wow, takes a lot of currency to level up a character.

Any advantage to not activating a character immediately? I've got Sidious ready to go (and some extra shards, too) but haven't done it, yet, while I work on some other characters. Advantages or disadvantages to continuing to collect Arena Battle shards for him and keep him on ice?

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

Only if you do what I did with Barriss. I had her at 145 shards (5*) but collected about 20k in ally points to see if I could get her that way. She's a 4* drop, meaning 80 shards for free. While I was saving, I opened her in a free one, lol. Lumi would give you 32 free shards but I don't think that Sid is a bronze drop. So really, I wouldn't bother. Lumi is a GW/Arena mainstay so I say get her up as soon as you can.

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

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.star...update-3-15-16

Greetings Heroes,

Here are the update notes for 3/15/16.

General

Droids Fight Back Event (Google Play Exclusive) – in this limited time event players will be required to form a squad of at least 3 droids to face off against the Jawas. The first tier of the event requires the player droids to be 2 star, the second tier 4 star and the final tier 6 star. Players who can complete the event will be rewarded with various prizes, including the chance to receive droid character Shards!

Darth Vader has had his stats increased if players raise his star tier to 6 or 7. Before, 6 and 7 star Darth Vader characters had reduced stats due to an exploit that allowed players to receive extra Shards for him. Now that those players are no longer a concern, we have increased the power of 6 and 7 star Darth Vader to its rightful place.

The Sullust environment can now be seen in game! It’s smoke filled skies and flowing rivers of lava make for a new exciting place to battle.

New Character(s)

Chief Chirpa

The Chief of the Ewoks on the Forest Moon of Endor

Main Stat: Intelligence
Role: Support
Species: Ewok
Found In: Chromium Packs and Cantina Battle 5-D

Basic
Bounding Strike
Deal Physical damage to target enemy. In addition, Chirpa gains 20% Turn Meter if that enemy had more than 50% Turn Meter.

Special #1:
Ancestral Secrets
All allies recover 10% of their Max Health at the start of their next 2 turns. Ewok allies also gain Retribution for 2 turns, and recover Health for 1 additional turn.

Special #2:
Tribal Unity
Grant all allies Speed Up for 2 turns, then call a random Ewok ally and one other random ally to Assist. These Assists deal 70% less damage.

Leader
Simple Tactics
Ewok allies gain 10% Turn Meter whenever they perform a Basic attack, and other allies gain half that amount.

Characters

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Old Ben) – character shards can now be found for Old Ben in Cantina Battles 2-F and 6-B in addition to Chromium Packs.
Unit Descriptions – the descriptions for a number of characters have been updated to better describe them.

Magmatrooper – Shards for Magmatroper can now be obtained from Chromium Packs.

Ahsoka Tano –
Despite her solid offensive stats, Ahsoka has been underperforming due to her unreliable survivability, compounded by low Speed. Her kit has been revised to give her a chance to shine.

Basic – Energetic Slash
Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Ahsoka recovers Health equal to 6% of her Max Health, increased to 9% on a Critical Hit.

Special – Protective Maneuver
Deal Physical damage to target enemy. If the target has 50% Health or more, all allies recover Health equal to 10% of Ahsoka's Max Health. If the target has less than 50% Health, this attack deals 25% more damage instead.

Leader – Quick Steps
Jedi and Nightsister allies have +10% Evasion.
NOTE: This ability’s Evasion bonus is unchanged, but its major upgrades now cause each affected ally to gain Turn Meter when they Evade, not just Ahsoka. The Turn Meter gain has been reduced to account for this.

Unique – Daring Padawan
Ahsoka has +25% Health and +25 Speed. Whenever she suffers a Critical Hit, she loses one of these effects (in reverse order.) Whenever she scores a finishing blow, she regains all of them.

Bug Fixes

Rex’s Squad Discipline now gives the correct amount of Turn Meter to non-Clone allies.

Rex’s Squad Discipline now grants Tenacity up to all allies instead of just himself.

The bonus DoT effect applied by Darth Sidious’s Demoralizing Blows on a critical hit can be Resisted.

HK-47 no longer gains Offense Up from Superior Firepower before the damage is calculated.

Geonosian Soldier no longer gains Offense Up from Aggressive Advance before the damage is calculated.

Multiple characters previously had abilities where their damage would decrease in some cases when upgraded instead of increasing. This has been fixed for the following characters

Asajj Ventress
Old Daka
Geonosian Soldier
HK-47
Kit Fisto
URoRRuR’R’R
Ugnaught
Jawa

Several characters have unit descriptions that are outdated or inaccurate. The following characters have been updated to better reflect their capabilities.

Admiral Ackbar
Ahsoka Tano
Barriss Offee
Clone Sergeant – Phase I
Clone Wars Chewbacca
Coruscant Underworld Police
Darth Maul
Darth Sidious
Darth Vader
Dathcha
Eeth Koth
Ewok Elder
Ewok Scout
General Veers
Geonosian Soldier
Grand Moff Tarkin
Greedo
HK-47
IG-86 Sentinel Droid
IG-88
Ima-Gun Di
Jawa
Jedi Consular
Kit Fisto
Lobot
Nightsister Initiate
Nute Gunray
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Old Ben)
Old Daka
Plo Koon
Princess Leia
Royal Guard
Snowtrooper
Stormtrooper
Talia
Tusken Raider
Ugnaught
URoRRUR’R’R

The Dispel effect on Teebo’s Bring Low ability can no longer be Evaded, just like the damage.

Old Daka can no longer Revive herself with Serve Again.

Several characters had stat-boosting effects in their Leader or Unique abilities that could be copied by Grand Master Yoda’s Masterstroke or Battle Meditation; they have been corrected.

Tier two of the Profit Mining event is no longer accessible by players under level 70.

Princess Leia’s Critical Chance Up effect now expires at end of encounter.
Additional things being worked on:

DoT effects being able to defeat an enemy is still being worked on and will be implemented in a future major update.

More characters will have their outdated unit descriptions improved in a future update.

More character bug fixes.

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

Cool about Old Ben, too bad I have no need for another Jedi at this time, especially starting from scratch!

Do wish they'd mention something about another character promotion achievement for Vader shards. I have several ready to go!

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

I was coming to post that because SOMEONE told me they didn't read the official forums (read - you poophead).

:)

Anyway, the most interesting news is that Old Ben is now farmable. I would have thought Leia would be first (or you know, any darkside character) but the race is now on for F2P to get him. This is another reason why I'm going to continue to farm Ventress, she is the perfect foil for Old Ben. I also don't really need another Jedi at this point and will continue working on Dooku as well. If I see a team of Old Ben/Yoda, they are getting Sid, Ventress, and Dooku thrown at them, plus PTL and 88. Destruction, terror, and mayhem.

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

:lol: I don't. I saw it on the ever-so-annoying FB group in my feed.

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

I always knew they would buff Ashoka and now I kind of wish I had farmed her instead of Mace. But I already had like 20 Mace shards for some reason so it made sense to do him. She's still very slow, even with QGJ boost, and I think they will continue to work on Mace since the forums want them to badly.

I'm a little burned out on Jedi right now so this news doesn't really excite me all that much TBH.

I'm with you Pinata. Where are the chances to get more Vadar shards? At least add him to a hard node so we can move up a little quicker.

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

I get him being exclusive, but now that they restored his 6* and 7* forms and got rid of whatever exploit people were using, they need to step up and let the diehards put in the time to progress him.

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

The highest I've known anyone to get to is 27/85 and they report there are no more achievements to achieve.

I think ultimately he gets added to a cantina node but I would like to see an event similar to Yoda to get him up to 7*.

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

If that's the case, then I suppose it's safe for me to start promoting. I didn't realize they'd all run out.

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

Lumi Lvl 66 6*
Poe Lvl 64 5*
JC Lvl 65 6*
Sidious Lvl 67 6*
GS Lvl 65 6*

Everyone has purple gear. Best I can do is pretty much around 500, but I get bumped out quick. Something changed in the last couple of weeks. Previously I was flirting with top 100, and I wouldn't need to do more than my 3 daily (and not even win much) to stay in that area, now I shift up 100+ spots a day, way more if I manage to get into the 200's (but I think that's impossible now).

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

So pretty

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

The developers didn't take Daylight Savings Time into account so there's no midnight reset?! Bizarre.

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.star...s-also-changed

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

So there is no new character in the squad awards correct? I guess I ll be going for either Han or Ventress. Now my concern is wheteher to keep boosting JC from cantina or go for Ben. He's currently 5* 28/85 or just go to Ben. Ahsoka will be the next person I use cantina awards for. Next Yoda cycle I maybe able to go for him.

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

Ben can't heal anyone and will always go after Yoda. Use Battle Meditation from Yoda and Ben's Mind Trick is useless. JC has the most reliable heal in the game. You definitely want him up to at least 6* or GW will get to be impossible.

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

No, that's incorrect. The game is based on UTC which does not recognize DST. The game is global.

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

So cool. Is this essentially the Yoda Effect?

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

Are you on a mature server?

I will say though that team doesn't scare me at all. You only have one assist caller, no speed boosts, a very weak character defensively in JC and Poe is gone in 1 round. You need to make yourself less attractive to hit. QGJ is the easiest way to do that.

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

Yeah, this is after he gains foresight, steals opponents buffs, and passes everything he has to the team. You can't guarantee you can even keep foresight to his next turn, let alone a huge cascade like this. It helped that Phasma's Victory March sped everyone up so Yoda could go again quickly.

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

That's awesome. But the real question is, did you win? :p

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

It was a nail-biter!

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

No idea about the server. You got a point, my team is pretty standard. I do have quite a few other characters at 5-6*, and I'm working on Han now. I just won't have the training droids or the money to level them up.

Any suggestions for who to replace? Here are some of my other characters that aren't quite as built up:
Old Daka Lvl 64 4*
Mace Lvl 58 6*
QGJ Lvl 61 5*
Phasma Lvl 52 6*
Yoda Lvl 33 5*
I'm at 20/50 for Han.

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

You don't need two healers in GW, typically. Definitely drop JC. Daka is okay because her primary role isn't healer, but stunner and reviver.

QGJ is a game-changer. Especially as leader with top-level skill. He makes everyone faster, not just Jedi (unless they fixed that and i missed it?).

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

I have no idea why you are farming Phasma from GW and Han from Arena with Lumi/Sid at only 6* each. You need to raise both to 7* pronto. All cantina resources should be going to QGJ to get him to 6* and if you want to get Daka to 5* before returning to Jin for 7* I could get with that.

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

Edit - Up above I said "You don't need two healers in GW". That's false. What I meant was "You don't need two healers in Arena", which is what we were talking about. Sorry for the confusion.

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

Truth be told I'm not sure you really need any healers for Arena. If you are a DPS team you may not have any. I routinely see Phasma, Kylo, QGJ, GS and Dooku teams and there isn't a healer in the bunch.

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

Bah, I just figured that going to 7* wasn't really worth it. I did actually just get JC to 7* though. I guess I should go back to Lumi/Sid? Sid won't be better off replaced with someone else I already have?

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

Huh, that's interesting. I've never not run with two healers. I'll have to give it a try.

So, 7* JC or 6* Lumi for Arena?
