Just started playing. My ally code is 264-111-725. Not quite sure what that means yet, but look me up?

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

I accepted you though. Glad to help.

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.

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.

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.

Spending real money on this cheat of a game makes us all manatees.

Magmaguard will be March character of the month.

Cad Bane likely moving to farmable Catina nodes.

Groucho 02-20-16 11:09 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Slight clarification: the March character of the month will be a new character, likely Magma Trooper.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Finally unlocked Dooku this morning. That was a very slow farm. Should have just spent the $5 back in December. It'll be a while before I get through Mace in Cantina to switch to either Kylo, GS, or Dooku.

I just now realized the allies logo is the bromance scene in Predator.

Recently, they made DoT be capable of knocking a character out. That seems to have reverted. Any idea why?

Fingers crossed that April will be Jar Jar.

I haven't seen anything on the forums. Whenever stealth changes occur in this game, the answer always seems to be "whales".

DoT would take a character out. If it was able to revive itself, all character actions would be frozen out. If you were in the arena, it would simply count the time down to a draw. They reverted it until they could fix it. From what I read, it seemed as if the fix will probably need to come in an app store update.

I have enough droids to level a character from 1 to 70 for 2.4M credits. I just don't have anyone I want to invest in right now. Poggle will be 6* soon but no other investment. I guess I'll do the same for IG-86 as well given all these free shards this month. Just kind of ... blah ... about where to go from here. Wish we knew for sure what another event will be so I can prepare for it too.

Keep going with IG-86. His crit can hit for 10k+ and at high levels he's assisting like crazy.

I would strongly consider Akbar if you need a new project. His dispell is incredible. It change the balance of the engagement in one move.

Groucho 02-22-16 12:19 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
My only problem with Akbar right now is that he doesn't dispel healing immunity, which appears to be a bug. Given how common Sid is in PVP it's pretty annoying not to have a counter for that.

I don't have Barrios Offee, but her health redistribution does "heal" through healing immunity.
