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

How do I join this guild? I can't seem to search for it.

I'm Tarte Rebro if anyone can add me.

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

I think we are full up right now.

You should message Obey the D, as he is the only guild officer left from DVDTalk.

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

And I only reply via Memes.

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

Nodeerforamonth, are you still interested in joining our guild? A spot open up. DM Obey and he can explain to you how you may be able to join us.

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

Hey JuryDuty, I have been looking for you and happened to stumble upon this forum. I am in your arena shard. There are many of us in the top 20 that have a discord group that we all communicate with each other to share payout times and such. Would you be interested in joining the group? Let me know and I'll let you know where you can PM me. Thanks.

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

Hey Fuzz,

Glad you found me. Sure, hit me up.

So my arena team now is:

Gen Kenobi (lead), gear XI
Barriss unique zeta'd, gear XI
Yoda unique zeta'd, gear XI
QGJ, gear XI
Darth Nihilus zeta'd, gear XI

Worked for about 4-6 weeks gearing up Aayla to XI only to discover Nihilus is a better fit. Oh well, have a slammin' Aayla now if I ever need her. :P

Hit #5 in Arena for the first time after more than a year playing yesterday. Not bad for someone who's never spent a penny in game.

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

Was wondering how many of you are still playing? Are there any major updates in the last 3 months? Any new game modes? Does "ships" still suck? lol

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

I find ships much better than they used to be only because I've begun to learn what each one does. But they're still my least favorite part of the game.

Sith are the meta now, and zetas are very common, which has changed the gameplay.

I still enjoy it quite a bit, but largely because I've forced myself to basically only play for about 20 minutes each morning, get all my dailies and then forget about it the rest of the day. I rarely engage in chats or anything about it. Only way I can enjoy it is to not allow it to take over my life. :D

It makes a HUGE difference in enjoyment to have a good team. When my team sucks, I wonder what the point is, but when it's doing well, I look forward to playing.

I think if I weren't in a good guild that helped me get end-game materials easier it would be extremely frustrating. I still think about quitting once in a while, and probably will eventually. But at this point it's the only handheld game I play, so I enjoy it for what it is.

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

The main difference between now and a few months ago is the ability to do activities at 4X speed. I still don't like ships, but I don't mind a battle that takes 2 minutes as opposed to 7. I also like the basic only option for auto battles. That along with the 4X speed makes GW much faster.

It was announced this weekend that there is a new mode coming, but they didn't go into any further details. They also said 2 new fan favorite toons are coming in the next few months. The way they featured Jedi Luke in the new game trailer, many assume he's one of them.

The tank raid is a piece of cake now and most in the guild will have GK to 7* in the next few weeks.

So far I have zeta'ed:
Fives
Kylo
QGJ
Cody

I have over 20 again, but I'm saving them from here on out until the next round of zeta abilities are announced.

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

I just played against my first FIVE zeta team. Zaul, Zid, Zilhus, Zavage and Zylo. His Zylo had an absolute ton of protection. It was a bloodbath.

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

I'm at 39 with three zetas (Vader, Maul and Kylo) and have thought about using one on a luxury Zeta like Nilhus or Boba but I am pretty sure something is going to come out this month by way of a major character update with new Zetas so I am saving.

Their drop rate is ridiculous though.

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

Would I even recognize the guild at this point?

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

There's always David, lol. There are some familiar faces. They are putting up some ridiculous numbers in AAT.

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

I continue to play but am still way behind everyone else.

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

Most from here are still in the Guild.

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

Unfortunately, they promoted Obey The D to guild officer. Talk about power going to someones head. -screwy-

I'm barely playing at this point, just doing the minimums.

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

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

These quality of life updates are REALLY good. After playing the game at 4X speed, you'll wonder how you ever played at anything slower. And they did other things like add a button that lets you accomplish all your challenges at once, so on Sundays one button push gets loot from six challenges at a time. SOO much better. They also let you preset teams now, so I have a team set up for each phase of a raid, which makes jumping in so much easier.

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

Wow, I'm kind of glad I bailed when I did. If those QoL improvements came before, I probably would still be playing every day.

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

It is?! I'm still terrible at it.

We will? Not me! I'm still at 5* with 41/85 for 6*. I've never gotten more than 6 shards at a time and I've missed a few raids, here and there.

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

You've missed quite a few then but I also think you were on the leftover team from The great split of '16.

I'm not digging the 2 a day raids. I sometimes don't pay attention and miss stuff because of that. I'm sure we do 2 a days for the members who merc on a regular basis. Like chase I am not trying hard. I do the minimum and zero most of the raids.

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

Has nothing to do with mercing. We have run 2 raids on the same day during the weekend for months. Only time it happens during the week is when we have enough tickets for a bonus Raid.

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

I wouldn't say months - February was when it first started popping up and I have not cared for the 2 a day raids regardless of when they are posted. Unfortunately I got stuff to do on the weekends and 2 a days on weekends makes it so I post zero or I miss out because I am out and about. It was always easier to go hit the bathroom at work to hit a raid.

Dude, don't get me wrong I am OK with our big dogs or anyone interested going mercing, Just don't tell me that we haven't made changes in the Raid schedule to accommidate them when it has been posted that raids are being held back to let newbies from other guilds get rewards. And yes I know technically mercing has been squashed by the developers but that did not happen until after our schedules were adjusted and I am sure David and the other big brains have figured out a way to game the system.

Otherwise I am happy with the direction the guild is going.

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

Yeah, I was in P4 and we weren't getting anywhere on that tank raid!

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

Which is why I pushed and pushed and pushed to adhere to the original vision of the split! SH wasn't wanting to listen or worry about it. Then some bullshit happened and I flipped the table.

Glad to hear it's progressing and David's happy changing guilds every 18 hours.

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

I'm currently 8/20 to zeta my first toon.

I'm sure that you will be welcomed with open arms if you decide to join us again pin! However, if you are happy enjoying your exile from this game, we are happy for you too.

Story, as Cruz said, you must have missed quite a few since I was in the Non GK SH guild (Loser's club) during the split and I will have him at 6*, 28/100 for 7* (after today's Raid) ever since we reformed CE again.

I sympathize with Cruz's sentiments about letting our Big Dogs mercing since I think it affect our Daily tickets but as long our guild is not too hamstrung with it, I can live with it.

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

That's one of the reasons I created an alt That way we aren't loosing out on too many tickets. It's really a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with mercing. I personally don't have a problem with it, but it's something I don't have an interest in doing. In the long run I think it helps, because by them gearing their toons we will be better prepared for the next Raid when it drops. We haven't missed out on running any Raids because of it and if it ever did become an issue I would bring it to their attention. Mino really does try to make things as fair for everyone as possible.

Same thing with running weekend Raids. For every person that says they don't have time to run them on the weekend, you will have someone else pop up and say running them during the week is not good because work gets in the way.

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

I think its a nice compromise between keeping the Big Dogs happy so they don't get too restless and for the smaller players like me, to enjoy the rewards of the Raids. I don't envy the officers in trying to keep this fine line fair for both groups. After having experienced being in the SH guild where I felt treated like crap, you appreciate a guild like ours where we try to make it fair for everyone. Mind you, I'm not in the Officers Chat so I don't know how much behind the scene drama goes on as experienced by Mmr604 leaving in a tiff...
I think sometimes, it's better for me to not know that too.

It's true that real life gets in the way but I just post a zero now the night before and don't have to feel pressured in hitting the raid or not. EA/CG making the GK shards rewards consistent for 4-50 was great. I don't have the teams to ever get top 3 so no real stress in missing out hitting a Raid.

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

Speaking of Zetas, I'm about to get my 20th. Is there a pecking order for the best toons to Zeta first? I'd look it up now but office filter blocks gaming sites.

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

My GK is at 16/100 so I have a long way to go as well. My raids are getting better but still pretty mediocre. My top characters don't have enough power, and my secondaries aren't built up enough to do significant damage.

Don't have any zetas yet. :sad:

I don't have any issues with the raids, as I can usually post a zero. I often miss the Saturday FFA at 7 a.m. Pacific time, though. Glad we don't have the "loser's club" guild anymore. :)

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

Who do you run in arena? Also, what factions are your strongest?

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

I'm not a big power player. My major factions are Jedi and Rebel with some Clones and Droid.

My arena team is Phasma, QGJ, Lumi, Rey, and RG. All at X. Thanks!

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

Do you have or have the ability to get General Kenobi? He might work well with that team. I'm doing zeta'd GK (lead), zeta'd Barriss, zeta'd Yoda, zeta'd Nihilus and have gotten down to #2 in Arena against the Sith. Personally, I focus more on getting zetas from ship currency than anything.

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

After my rebels started struggling to keep top-50, I switched to Jedi. I zeta'd QGJ (lead), Yoda, and Barriss. Team is rounded out with GK (6*) and JKA. I'm back to top 8-20. Each day I fall to 20-30, but I easily get back in 20 or 10. Hopefully they do release a Jedi Luke soon, so I can slot him in and keep rolling.

And everyone is right about the quality of life improvements being fantastic.

Now they seriously need to release a new raid.

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

GK does not have a zeta so I would love to hear how you are doing that.

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

rotfl


I think he meant to say QGJ.

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

I'm not a power player either, and my team is similar to yours. Mostly I'd been running Phasma, Lumi, Royal Guard, Geonosian Soldier, and Rey, but I swapped out Phasma for Boba Fett, and I've been trying QGJ in place of Lumi or GS. All are at X except GS and QGJ at XI. I've been building up Wedge and Biggs but have both at only VIII, as is General Kenobi.

I have some other cool-seeming characters at seven stars but haven't been sure who to build up. GK, Fett, and Wiggs sort of emerged from the pack, but I'm also working up Darth Maul. Yoda, Han Solo, Emperor Palpatine, Jedi Knight Anakin, and Vader all seem to be used in some capacity but they're just kind of in limbo for me.

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

David, my current Arena team is EP (L), BF, GK, JKA and STH. They are all G11. I cannot stress enough that you need to bring your GK to G11 as soon as you can, with at least a Speed of high 190's or higher and high Tenacity (at least 80%). My GK has a Speed of 193 and Tenacity of 79.6%. That's low in Arena. I'm currently finishing in the top 20 plus none of my toons have Zetas. However, Gear and Mods with speed secondaries are the difference maker. I wish I had Baze or ShT as my Tank but STH has done the job so far.

You can either go with the meta of Zaul or Rex leads with DN or do something else. Have you unlocked the Zeta challenge yet?

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

The problem with farming gear for GK is that the stun guns are kinda slow, but I've gotten some from the fleet store, and now I'm only two away from level IX. His speed (132) and tenacity (36%) are weak, though, so I'll have to farm more mods.

I have Shoretrooper but he's just one of a bunch of random guys that I have at low levels. I know Baze is tough because he's wiped me out in the arena.

I don't have the Zeta challenge. Just googled it, and it appears to be tied to the Executrix at five stars? I just got it there, so I'll see if Zeta pops up with the next mat challenge (which was today, of course).
