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

I'm not good at this game... but I'm addicted. That said, I'm finding that almost every matchup in the Squad Arena is totally lopsided. I can't refresh to a single opponent I can beat. I'm level 43 and routinely get level 47-50... never equal to or below. What gives?

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

Probably they are seeing level 55-60 opponents and can't progress either. Sounds like you're doing about as well as you can expect in your position.

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

GW didn't seem any easier or more difficult today. I did notice a bunch of new team configurations, so that was nice.

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

It was more difficult for me. I actually had to back out and retry and use an alternate squad member, instead of just auto'ing every node like usual. It was the second to last one that was difficult level 65-ish guys, and the final node was level 50-ish guys.

Squad is now impossible for me to get ranked below 200-ish instead of 100-ish. I also get pushed to above 300 very easily. I'm not sure why it's getting so much more difficult, but it is. I don't really care enough about the rewards to care if I get ranked lower though.

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

Lost my first GW in 3 weeks, at level 67, I started facing level 70 teams at #6, survived through 9, but attrition has made #10 impossible

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

There are ton of complaints on the forums that GW has been made harder for them. So you aren't alone. But remember you aren't supposed to win every day.

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

Mine was the opposite. I won GW for the first time in weeks. Cruised through till the third to last node where from there I hit stronger teams but was able to beat them (losing heroes along the way, had to resort to some B and C teasers). We'll see how I fare tomorrow.

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

There is no system for matching you to equal teams. You are on a specific leaderboard. Refresh doesn't move you into a new pool. Instead of seeing 550, 513 and 495 you may see 549, 510 and 496. But until he rises or drops, the guy at 550 is going to be the same guy no matter how often you refresh.

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

Fucking hell this game has become impossible for me now. Couldn't get past the 6th node in GW, and I'm having issues even breaking into the top 300 of Squad now. This game has become a chore.

If you get an ally request from Sarlacc Pittur, that's my second F2P account. Please accept me :)

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

No way. Too much dead weight on my ally list as is. You younglings need to be slaughtered.

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

This is an interesting game. I play it quite a bit, but would never recommend it to anyone. Too much time for too little content.

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

Same for me. I went weeks not completing it, and have finished it 2 days in a row.

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

And GW now just became impossible. Obviously they haven't fixed it. The devs have no idea what "scaling" means. At all.

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

I bet they do it based on "power". If someone did the math, I bet the power would scale up as you progress. Problem is, "power" is not a measure of relative team strength/synergy/speed.

One of the chests could be a "team refresh" or a "heal bonus" or a "cooldown refresh". Something to keep people going.

That said, this just happened! :banana:

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

So based on the enthusiasm in this thread I downloaded this game 2 days ago. And I'm totally addicted.

Here's my Ally Code if anyone wants to link up with me:
JuryDuty/JuryDuty/718-137-768

I don't look like much now, but I'm very committed with games like this. I'll be leveling up asap. :D

So as a beginner (level 19 right now) any recommendations for the card I pick in my Squad Arena win?

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

So this has been bothering the crap out of me the last few days... If Phasma is the 'leader' of the squad and you kill him before the end of the fight, the remaining enemy characters still get his random ally bonus attack perk for the remainder of the battle.

I just did a GW where I killed him first. The remaining enemies were Dooku, Sid, JC and Lumi. None of which have that perk, yet they all continued to bonus attack the crap out of me well after Phasma was dead (18% chance my ass, btw).

Is this a known bug, or working as intended? I'm sorry if it's already been discussed. If the leader is Lumi or Bariss, my characters aren't getting the heal bonus at the start of their turns after one of them dies. It doesn't seem fair if the leader perk remains in effect for some characters and not others. Has to be a bug.

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

You can't go wrong with Darth Sidious...he has a brutal basic attack, plus an AOE special and decent leader skill that applies to all heroes.This is working as intended. The leader bonus applies even if the leader is killed. Not sure why it goes away for other heroes though...

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

Phasma is a she.

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

Working as intended, but only for certain heroes? That sounds broken to me. I wish it was more obvious which ones worked and which ones didn't (for instance, ones that have crit bonuses you would never know for sure if you were still getting it after death. The healer leader perks you most definitely lose.)

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

When the level cap increases and we unlock the next tier of the INT/AGI/STR gear challenges, if they don't offer guaranteed drops for the 50-requirements, I think I will quit the game because that will be ridiculous.

It's one thing to need 250 of the Mk6 Syringe Salvage to get Lumi, Sid, and JC to gear level IX, but it's an entirely different thing to have a near-zero drop rate and only a handful of chances every day.

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

Cool, thx. I'll start there. From what I can tell, it's going to take me a couple weeks to get even near the serious part of this game. I'm amazed at how many different items you can earn/sell/grind/combine/achieve all in this one game. Jeepers.

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

This.

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

If a new squad arena character is possible soon, I am going to hold off going for Stormtrooper Han in the meantime, just in case it is a good character. I'm hoping for Leia.

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

I just realized I *still* need another 300 or so purple IV laptops. You can get about 35 a week just from challenges, but even then, you are still talking almost two months. So I'm farming them too. Wow this part of the game is a real grind. 3* every mission except for DS7 which I haven't even tried yet since it's not a priority. So at this point, 5 arena matches and 12 (maybe) GW battles is all I do anymore. This game needs more content, badly.
