I switched to QGJ as leader in GW because I'm still using Lumi and JC in there so the speed boost seems to be helping decimate the opponent and bring the massive heals back more quickly. He's just a little squishy for me at 4* even though he's level 70 and nearly in gear 8.

Prevailing thought is the same about QGJ at 4* but lots of positive comments at 5*. Keep plugging away.

Just keep autoing the challenges. They will release new characters, including at least two more this month.

QGJ is going all the way to 7* for Yoda. No worry about me stopping on him.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I just wish they'd make the gear rewards more interesting. Even releasing new characters who would be worth investing in, I'll still have a surplus because I'm not going to worry about 80% of my roster.

Meanwhile, I have to farm 50 things for a single item for each of my high level guys and there's no other way to get them but from missions that require 10 energy per attempt (20 if I want a Ima Gun-Di shard). Put those in the rotation or add another tier for those of at level 70. Something...

Wow, JC and Mace have become very hard farms. I find it hard to believe that Jedi shard drop rates were not lowered by the devs in response to the Yoda event.

RNG is a bitch. ;)

Honestly I've had stretches both ways, even after complaining about Mace drops earlier. I had one run where I got I think 8 shards in a row. But Dooku, fuck Dooku, I swear I get one shard out of every 12 runs.

I would love to have Dooku but he's useless at 3* and really doesn't even do much until 6* and like hell will I start that 3 month long farming expedition until I'm closer along with my main crew.

I actually have a feeling he will be the next character added to shipments. I am fully convinced it will be a dark side player. The ONLY light side player I think it might be is Leia b/c she is by far the most common chrome drop.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I'm only farming Dooku because I tend to have extra energy with those bonuses we get now.

I'm playing this game here and there and I've never been into this type of game before... so would somebody mind explaining "farming" to me in layman's terms?

Thx.

Farming means repeatedly playing certain missions to collect specific pieces of gear or character shards. For example, I'm farming Catina 3-A to get JC shards to star him up from 5* to 6*. Does that help?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I have recently come up on hard times in GW. Like by Node 3/4 I am pretty much done for. It's helped me to realize I need much more focus on basic character development. So I'm going to concentrate mostly on main players in terms of gear and also getting up basic attacks to highest levels. That should pay dividends by next month but until then, it will be slow going I think.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I also believe a dark side character is about to get added to shipments. I predict Maul before Dooku. It seems more analogous to QGJ's previous availability.

Plus we must expect a Sith or similar event coming up. For Emperor Palpatine, perhaps?

Isn't Sidious technically Palpatine?

I think Dooku because he was previously available as a starter pack player. If it was Maul, I'm not sure I'd even bother. He sucks.

Yes, but he's also in the game already.

Looking? Found someone you have, I would say.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
By my estimation, QGJ will be the last Jedi I will 7* to continue this pursuit and that'll take another 24 days at roughly 7.5 shards/day in Cantina shipments :(

But that's okay because I do love him and I'll be taking him that far anyway.

The characters are so specific (Stormtrooper Han, Rebel Luke, etc) that I think it's pretty obvious they'll be doing different versions of existing characters at some point. I'd expect Luke to be the first one though.

Does anyone disagree with me that the special droid character will be R2-D2?

It does, thank you! I guess I've been farming to get JC shards as well... it seems that they only show up 1 out of every 5 times I play that map - which can be frustrating.

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.
