Cool, right when I'll be making my daily PVP push. Good timing, asshats!

What the shit is the deal with guys coming back to life after you've killed them? I'm not talking about when someone is healing, but just randomly right after they died? I just had a PVP fight where fucking Sidious came back like 8 times.

I think I'm ready to bail on this game, I barely even "play" it anyway, I just sim/auto pretty much every fight anyway... whats the point?

I assume your opponent had Daka? She has resurrection power, at high levels, it can happen alot. I fought a teak with Boba, HK-47, and Daka and it felt like I had to kill everyone 50 times each.

Nice that Lando is a shard reward and not a shipment purchase. No sign of Grievous yet, I assume after it refreshes at midnight.

Also curious about these "boost" packs. Honestly, if it works like speculated - provides shards, mats, training droids and credits - it could be a massive way for P2P to compete a little better with P2W or to get more of the characters they like/building without having to spend a fortune. I would spend $20 or so on a Daka boost pack to get her to level up. Saves a ton of time and resources.

The update also altered the challenges a bit too. Added gear and levels (up to 86!!) Gold gear added (orange).

Reportedly 400,000 tokens to get Grevious. Holy poop. F2P will never get him.

Yeah, they had Daka. So what makes it trigger?

Okay looking at Daka's skills it's actually the passive one that I was talking about. Absolute horseshit that it says it has a 10% chance of doing it though. It literally triggered at least 8 times, not one of them was from the healing skill.

400,000 of which tokens?

7*=330 shards

At 10:1 shard shop rip-off that's 3,300 regular shards. At 5 shards per 400 arena/cantina/GW tokens, that's 3,300/5*400=264,000.

If it somehow costs more than that ungodly amount, I'll be shocked.

pinata242 02-23-16 05:44 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Maybe they meant 40,000 for the 80 shards required for 4* unlock?

I need to stop listening to Qeltar on the forums. He doesn't seem to know shit apparently.

pinata242 02-24-16 09:47 AM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Actually, maybe he does. Remember when I assumed Grievous would be available at the same 10:1 ratio as other shard shop purchases? Boy, was I wrong!

You get 5 for 1,125.

So, let's math...

400 tokens = 5 regular shards (80:1)

1 regular shard = 15 shard currency

1,125 shard currency = 5 Grievous shards

4* Grievous = 80 Grievous shards = 1,125 * 16 = 18,000 currency / 15 = 1,200 regular shards * 80 = 96,000 tokens

So, 96,000 tokens in some combination of Cantina/Arena/GW less whatever extra shards you "lucked" into. That's 80 days of GW alone. Insanity.

Then to get him to 7* requires another 250 shards. That's close to 300,000.

So it is 400,000ish to max him. Or basically the time it takes to gestate a human baby for F2P players.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
And I'm telling you, he's not even that good. Low health and low speed. Seems to synergize well with droids, but most F2P don't have 88 and 47 starred up where they need to.

I'm not giving up two months of building time for GG. He's cool but not worth it.

My player level is 52 and my current roster is:

Darth Sidious - (5* / lvl 52 / gear 6 )
Geonoshian Soldier (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Talia (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Clone Wars Chewie (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Luminara Unduli (4* / lvl 52 / gear 5)
Qui-Gon Jinn - (3* / lvl 50 / gear 5)
Jedi Consular (3* / lvl 42 / gear 5)
Plo Koon (3* / lvl 46 / gear 4)
Jawa (3* / lvl 46 / gear 4)
Royal Guard (1* / lvl 44 / gear 4)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 45 / gear 4)
Ahsoka Tano (2* / lvl 45 / gear 3)
Ewok Scout (1* / lvl 40 / gear 4)
Snow Trooper (1* / lvl 40 / gear 4)
IG86 -Sentinel Droid (1* / lvl 44 / gear 4)

Leveling Up (in this order):
Darth Sidious 0/85
Geonoshian Soldier 35/65
Luminara Unduli 63/65
Talia 21/65
Qui-Gon Jinn 10/30
Jedi Consular 21/30
Clone Wars Chewie 51/65

Also working on:
Darth Vader - 51/80
Yoda - 50/145 ( I was able to get 5 jedi but it will be a while to get them to level 5)
Count Dooku - 17/50
Mace Windu - 8/80 - Long term - I would like to have a farmable Jedi Tank

Any other advice you guys can give ?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Seems like you're doing just fine. Are you working on Talia and Chewie just through hard missions? I wouldn't do them through Cantina as there's always someone better (Rey, Kylo, Luke, Jedis for Yoda, etc)

I use Sid Lvl 63 7* G7, Lumi Lvl 63 7* G7, JC Lvl 63 4* G8, Eeth Koth Lvl 61 5* G7, and Chewie Lvl 60, 5*, G6. Total Power 21,120.

You are lucky as hell. That's all I can say. I see Lvl 60 teams on the very first node. By the time I reach the 3rd or 4th node, the teams are 5 levels above me and 7 star characters. It's literally impossible for me to finish a GW anymore. Hell, I consider myself lucky if I can get far enough to earn 400 shards in a day. And I can rarely even accomplish that.

I keep my arena rank between 200-300, so that obviously doesn't make a difference.

My squad is Lvl 63 Bariss 4* G7, Lvl 63 HK-47 5* G7, Lvl 62 Sid 6* G7, Lvl 61 Lumi 4* G7, Lvl 61 JC 4* G8. Total power is 18,720. So my squad power doesn't make a difference either. I get completely outmatched. Constantly. All my other characters are only in the rank 50's and under. If I try to bring them in just to weaken the opponent, it doesn't work cuz they end up getting killed in 1 hit because they're 10+ levels below the enemy. GW can suck my ass. :lol:

Yes. Talia and Chewie are being farmed through Hard missions. Geonoshian Soldier is the only thing I am after right now in Cantina battles and Qui Gon Jinn is my redeemable character in there. Lately I've been getting stuck against unbeatable teams in Galactic War Node 7/8 so it has been slow going in upgrading Luminara.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Gonna finish JC & Mace in a few days, hopefully over the weekend. Not sure who I should focus on in Cantina. Options:

Kylo - 4* - 0/65
Dooku - 3* - 0/30
IG-86 - 4* - 0/65 (Just got 7 more from a Bronzium character prize) <s>3* - 23/30</s> - About to get 8 more from Daily and I'll switch to him in GW after Poggle is 6*
GS - 1* - 1/15
Barriss - 0* - 9/80
IG-100 - 0* - 6/25 - Only because I seem to be building a droid/geo team anyway, but I think I'd much rather get HK and/or 88 from Arena.

No one else really does anything for me.

GS without question. Self-turn meter manipulation, hits like a truck, very easy farm.

Hard not to make an argument for Dooku though. I open up node 6 on Catina tomorrow. Barriss is the focus for the return of Yoda, need 85 shards before then.

Not for nothing, another thing to consider is the token/energy ratio and if that makes any discernible difference in redeeming them.

21/12 = 1.75
17/10 = 1.70
13/8 = 1.625

When you are spending 360 energy/day, that yields 630, 612, 585 tokens respectively. So, if you are going for someone there, maybe it makes more sense to go for Barriss/Dooku (1.75) over GS (1.625).

Just a thought for everyone :)

I really didn't have much of a choice in the matter as I am not L69 yet and won't be until at best Friday, but more likely Saturday. I'm at 50/85 on GS to 6* but I just did some quick math and I need around 6 Barriss shards per day to get Yoda. That is impossible with just hard missions, so once the node opens for me I will be farming the hell out of it. I would like to get Talia up to 5* since she is one of the stars of my GW B team, but it's a long term project with her.

I need to get Dooku. If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I think my next GW project is going to be resistance pilot. I got him from a bronze and haven't really done much with him, but I've faced him a few times in GW and he hits almost as hard as GS. might be a nice plug in character for RNG manipulation on an assist from time to time. Working on Poggle now, and may sprinkle in a shipment of RP when I can manage to clear GW from time to time to see how he works out.
