Agreed. Even now I'm just in cruise control until I can max Yoda later this week. I'm not even spending my Arena tokens in hopes of a new character there, which is weird. GW is going to Resistance Pilot by default, which is also weird.

You aren't getting your 135 bonus energy each day and farming those along with all the rest of the daily energy?

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

I was looking through the achievements to get Vader shards. I just realized that it would likely take six months to get enough to promote Vader to 5*. I hope they add more ways to promote him to the game soon. It's kind of disheartening.

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

Agreed. Its weird how quickly my enthusiasm for this "game" has fizzled out. It feels like this commercial:



I'll keep on plugging along without spending any more money because I'm just coasting already. If some big update comes out that livens things back up like new events (seriously, only one and it's a month wait?) or guilds, I don't want to have fallen too far behind. But right now, I'm just happy staying in the top 100 in arena, finishing GW every day, simming for shards and gear, and applying 1 gear and 1 level each day to hit the daily rewards.

I have so many characters I can level up and promote, but they're not going to be used frequently (yet) so why bother? Kylo and Dooku are the only ones I care about to make my dark side stronger, but I'm in no hurry until tier 8 opens. So, right now, I'm just simming for their shards and promoting Kylo one level each day.

Meanwhile, I have enough training droids to level 4 characters from 1 to 70. I'm hoping I won't have to bring up Mace and Eeth for Yoda later this week, but at least I'll be ready if so.

If this guy's story doesn't swear you off chromium packs for good, I don't know what will.

It also swears me off from having a meddling wife.

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

Whatever they do next I hope they hold off a little longer on raising the level cap.

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

From all indication it appears coming sooner rather than later. Whales are getting restless.

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

I don't mind the increase coming sooner rather than later, but I stand by my threat(?) to quit the game if the 50-required AGI/INT/STR gear does not become guaranteed at the next tier.

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

Hairdryers will. I don't think the stun cuffs will though. It would be a welcome change if they did. I'm too buy checking every best buy from Bespin to Corouscant for MKIV purple laptops.

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

This game really needs some new content...at this point I'm saving activating players just to have something "new" do to week to week other than just farming farming farming.

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

Well, Yoda gets to go like 4 times every turn and QGJ is my leader so I can't be any faster. Guess I need to upgrade Mace and Eeth :( Luckily I have enough droids and credits to take them straight to 70. I wonder how many of my 90 mk3 mats I should put into them... Sigh...

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

Well, that seemed to have worked. I also made Lumi my leader instead of QGJ. Definitely noticed an increase in evasion, plus the extra healing didn't hurt.

QGJ is 96/100 so I should be able to upgrade him when the midnight refresh resets in the Cantina.

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

Oh is Yoda back up? I should get 5* Yoda today and 6* by the end of the event week.

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

Is there not a "Promote Character" achievement beyond 50? I just did that but I don't see a replacement for it. I expected a "150 promotions" just like the GW one. Weird.

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

Nope. They may add it later though.

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

Hmm. I guess there's no reason to upgrade characters I'm farming but not actively using (Dooku, RP, etc) until they do. Because we all know you're not going to get credit for what they're not currently tracking.

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

Tier 7 Yoda is currently impossible. And I spent way too much to upgrade Eeth and Mace. I truly believe the only way people got him is because Anakin as a sidekick was previously broken. The closest I got was killing both his teammates and getting him into the yellow, but then he just devastates.

I'm fine with the rule saying if he "bests" someone, he gets an extra turn. The issue I have is when that didn't occur and then he gets 4 turns in a row which knocks someone out and then he gets a 5th. This usually happens near the end of the match, so it's like he speeds up or something.

On top of that, their tenacity is so high that nothing sticks. Fine. No Ability Block, very rare Eeth stuns. But does that mean that none of my buff-clearing works either? QGJ's 3rd attack NEVER removes a buff which means I NEVER get the Offense Up bonus (which would shred). Mace never gets to "Smite" and remove their buffs. That's insane. Why be Jedi, then?

Lumi as a leader is really the only viable option. You need that minuscule healing every round and a favorable RNG to evade. Otherwise, you're hosed. Yoda's first move almost always hits for 10k+. His Foresight not only evades QGJ's attack (fine), but it almost always dodges the assist attack (horseshit). This happens for him or if he's shared it.

Bah. I'll keep trying because there's nothing else to do in this "game".

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

Do you have Barriss? I've read that her as a leader is the easiest way to defeat Yoda at 7*

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

15/80 on Barriss. So, she's quite a way from 7* ;)

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

It's hard, but you are making it harder on yourself. Keep exiting until one of Yoda's minions is Barriss. Then kill the other Jedi (not Yoda or Barriss). Then get Barriss down as low as you can without killing her. Keep attacking Yoda to burn turns.

Barriss will then use her redistribution heal and knock Yoda's health down 50%. Then kill Yoda and finish off Barriss.

Try this and I bet you get him in under 10 turns.

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

Nah, I tried that several times last night. Barriss usually comes with JKG, so that's almost a walk. My next attempt will be to not kill JKG, but to wound them both so that the redistribution hurts Yoda even more. The other two hit soft enough that you'd think it would help.

I'm telling you, the killer is the number of turns Yoda gets, especially around the 5th or 6th round.

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

So, I tried exactly that and if it wasn't for a lucky critical flippy-shit Yoda did at the end, I would have had it. I left JKG and Barriss alone after the heal and he ended up knocking out Lumi. The rest were able to take him down, but the other two had an easy enough time with both healers gone.

I swear, if QGJ's assist would be auto-dodged after the foresight is used by his primary, it would be doable. That's just bull-roar.

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

Thanks. Doesn't really tell me anything I don't know.

Use Barriss. Still don't have her.
Use AOE/Chromium Jedi. N/A
Fight "wet noodles". No shit.
Exploit Barriss's redistribution. As much as possible.

I'll keep at it. I'm convinced that since I know that you can't dispel any buffs over there, that I might as well not try to. I think that may be part of the reason he gets bonus turns, but there's nothing written about it and it may just be confirmation bias.
