Android users got their Poe shards in their inbox. On Reddit, they're saying the Phasma shards for iOS are a strong rumor because someone saw it in the meta or something, but there's been nothing confirmed by the devs, so it may just be nothing more than wishful thinking.

People seem pretty upset about this update because ultimately it amounts to a whole lot more grinding (though isn't that pretty much what this game is anyway? LOL It's still fun!). But I guess the drop rates of the elite purple gear are about 20%, so it could take months to get a team from level 70 to 80...

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

Since the purple hairdryers are going to drop for free 15x each week, likely in multiple quantities each, I have switched to farming for QGJ's purple handcuffs. I didn't track how many times I simmed the node tonight, but I am +14 over yesterday. Feels like I did less than 70 sims (700 energy) on it which would be 20%.

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

So I had a stark self-realization just now.

I checked and found that no one in the top 100 in my server has yet reached level 71. As I, myself, am about 75% of the way there, I figured that meant there aren't a lot of "whales" on my server. Then the reality sank in because I've been spending 600 or 700 crystals each day that *I* am a whale right now. I'm just swimming with the rest of the school.

Pinata, if you look around the table and can't find the sucker...it's you



In other news, I now have 3* every LS/DS mission as well as all Catina. So I have that going for me.

As for whales though, they are leaving in droves over this. They pay for CONTENT not grinding. EA/CG has a real problem on their hands.

Some of these items are currently unavailable, but will become available in the next major update.
I finally looked into this. I had plans, along with everyone else, to have Lumi and Sid hit G9 just as soon as they were L74 now that purple hairdryers are more easily farmable through challenges. But they've basically said "no, you can't upgrade these superstars because we arbitrarily decided to require a new component you can't get anywhere."

Fuckin' assholes. Meanwhile, Mace, QGJ, and Yoda are about to hit G9.

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

Looks like the FA promotion may have been aborted for iOS. EA_Jessie hasn't stated it isn't coming but he did make some comments on the thread asking what happened to the Phasma shards.

If it isn't officially announced then it may or may not happen. I've warned everyone before, be very careful when reading about information that is data mined, because it may be left over information that is no longer up to date.
and

Promotions will always happen. Sometimes Google Play will get stuff that iOS doesn't and vice versa.
No word as to why there would be nothing for iOS.

Yeah, but even as an Android user I think it's bullshit iOS people have gotten nothing. No Days of Spring cards (NO REASON for that one); no Droid Event; no Poe/Phasma shards. Just seems pretty unfair.

What DS squad are you running? I'm getting ready to start promoting some characters (Daka, Dooku, Kylo?) and get back to trying.

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

Apparently, it's back on. EA_Jessie says

The team has ordered food and are working late to get iOS users in the US and CAN their Captain Phasma shards for the promotion. So standby! We're aiming to get them pushed out within the hour.

Happy Star Wars The Force Awakens release!
Why they didn't just say that in the first place. Unless, they reinstated it due to the backlash.

I borrow Ventress, use Phasma lead with Daka, Vader, Poggle and GS. Was using 86 but he was always getting killed. To me, it's just health that wins out.

Hey better than nothing. If she's already 7* you just got yourself another 2 Vader shards. And you will continue to for the next four days. I would love to have 10 more Vader shards.

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

So assuming there ever are Guild Wars, maybe we should focus on having a pretty balanced team and we can start to divide up some of the work of getting certain characters. Keep in mind we have no idea how guild wars work, but it can't hurt to do some leg work.

Below is a list of the best characters in the game and who of us has those characters. I will update this list as more of you post. Let's limit this to *4 or higher for now, then we can see who wants to take individual characters up to 7* and max gear.

Luminara

*7 - DVD Josh, (everyone)

Darth Sidious

*7 - DVD Josh, (everyone)

Geonosian Solider

*6 - DVD Josh

Qui Gon Jin

*6 - DVD Josh

Jedi Consular

*6 -DVD Josh

Poggle the Lesser

*6 - DVD Josh

Yoda

*7 - P242

Phasma

*7 - DVD Josh

Count Dooku

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

Just hit level 71. It costs 170k to level each character up (and 24k in XP droids) which wasn't bad at all.

70->71 took 5,500 XP and just over two days to accomplish, with ~600 crystal/day in refreshes

71->72 will take 6,600 XP. Not only is there no way I'll get this done by Sunday, I may not even be done by Monday. No biggie as the AGI challenge for purple hairdryers is on Tuesdays anyway.

I finally bit the bullet and promoted everyone that had the shards to do so. As much as I hope/pray that they'll add another achievement for that, I realize that millions of whales would cry out in terror if that happened and the game didn't retroactively credit them. So I should be safe either way. Besides, I got so sick of counting that way. "Wait, if Teebo needs 25, that means he's 2* so at 205/25, that's enough for 6*, right?" It was a nightmare doing that with everyone.

As for Guild character tracking, I threw this together: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

The characters are in the order they're listed on my screen so it may not be as easy for you to update it, but it's certainly a little prettier this way

MUCH better idea, thanks! Populating now.

You missed Kit Fisto

Once we get everyone's stats on here we can start figuring out who should be concentrating on who. Doesn't mean you should ignore your main crew but if we all took responsibility for one toon that would probably be a big help in the end without really hurting any of us long term.

Nice! Added myself to the list. I'm on daily, multiple times a day, too. Think I did it right...

I need to push these guys up! :P

Should we add a line for in-game name as well as Ally code so it's all in one place?

EDIT: Also noticed everyone seemed to be including all stars, not just 4* and over, so I included all mine, even one stars...feel free to remove...

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

Good suggestion, especially since people can edit their own stuff. I went ahead and put in what I know from the first post for Game Name and Ally Code. I wasn't sure which account JNielsen was referring to, so I chose the non-generic name.

The numbers under the Ally Code are just a count of how many entries you filled in. Couldn't think of anything else to put there and it looked weird blank.

I actually stopped my 2nd account, too much work. Original was the generic name when i knew nothing

I'll update the sheet.

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

I can enter the rest of my characters since everyone else did, but I have no idea how to do it. I'm trying to edit the spreadsheet on my iPad (if that's even possible). When I click the link in the post(s) above it shows me the spreadsheet in Safari. I click the little pencil icon in the corner and a message pops up saying download Google Sheets app to edit... so I did. But then what?

If I quit out of safari and open the Google Sheets app I have no idea how to access that spreadsheet. I copy and pasted the URL but it says no files match that criteria. I've never used the app before so I could use a quick lesson on how to find that spreadsheet. All I seem to be able to do with the app is create new ones.
