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

I seem to remember that you said once that you play this game at your own pace and just do your dailies and don't want to stress about it. Correct me if I'm wrong? If that's the case, gearing any character to G11 is a pain as you already know. In the case of GK, it will put you to the ultimate test for your patience as he needs cuffs, stun guns and MK3 Carbantis to the max. However, if you are close to putting him to the next Gear level, our guild has been great in donating gear pieces to put you over the top as long as you mention it in the chat. There's no doubt about that! My suggestion will be to ask and don't be shy about it. With a decent GK, you should be able to reach Top 100 at least. You also might need to buy stun guns or cuffs through Fleet Arena whenever you can to speed up the process. Once you gear BF and GK to at least G10, you should see immediate improvement in your ranking. My next toon that I will focus in your inventory will be EP to eventually replace Rey. EP at G11 and proper mods is useful as he's able to stun the other team.
My suggestion will be to remove Lumi for QGJ and eventually GS for GK. Start using this team in GW to familiarize with their abilities. Also as you are aware I'm not as knowledgeable as some of our guild members so try asking for suggestions and they will help you especially the other David (from the guild)since he's all about Arena.

The other David (from our guild) has always stated that Arena is the most important aspect of this game and that's where your focus should be. At first I thought he was over exaggerating the importance but I realized that he was right because it's all about the crystals especially if you are FTP. You need crystals to gear and mod your characters, there's no other way around it. So if you don't want to buy your crystals, the only way that you can earn a decent amount is through Arena payout.

I know you don't care about ships but you need to build up the mods and gear of your pilots to unlock the Tier 3 of the Ship Ability Challenge. That's where you can farm Zetas. Yes, you need the Executrix at 5* and I believe 6 ships at 5* or more. This is a must! Try to build a ship (My pick will be either Biggs or Wedge since they appear most often) to 7*.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes...

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

I don't really understand your arena team. It has no synergy. I would put Fett as your leader to increase your burst damage from JKA and Fett, especially while Han is taunting.

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

Thanks for the recommendation Josh. I'm trying different things and see what works.

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

Thanks, Lopo! I was able to move GK from level VIII to X by farming stun guns and cuffs and buying some from the fleet store. (Plus I burned a big chunk of crystals on buying a stun gun outright.) Getting to XI will take a little more time because I need 150 cuffs. :lol: I have everything else, though. That did give me a good bump in arena to where I can knock off Wiggs teams, but not Sith or Wiggs with Lando.

I do get through dailies but also spend a fair amount of time maxing out my other free activities. Really the only stress is hitting the 600.

Unfortunately, I did have to start caring about ships. I had been using the fleet store to buy character shards but then realized I could get gear as well, so I have been building up the ships and also bumped my capital ships up to five stars to increase those rewards. I'm going to need to build them even more to actually win that zeta challenge, though. I currently have four at six stars but none at seven.

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

Congrats David! It's an uphill battle.

Listen, once you start approaching 50 cuffs, start farming them over at Light Side Normal battles in 8G. The drops are a little bit more generous in that battle if you have 3* them.

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

Good to know! I'd mostly been farming at 7-D Normal, but the price is the same so no reason not to use that one instead.

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

Yeah, I saw it in the SWGoH forum and I believe that its true. You need to have more than 50 cuffs but, I feel like the drops are a little bit more generous. Let me know if it works in your case.

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

Today is the last day for double drops. Did you guys get anything worthwhile?

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

How's the recruiting coming along Obey?

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

Right now we are only down Mino. He said he was going to look into recruiting a replacement. I have a feeling he will be back sooner than later. I believe he is just taking a break and plans to come back. I'll keep and eye on Tickets. This weekend was a little light, but I expected that since it was a holiday weekend for many. We have a few away on vacation at the same time as well, but most said they will try and bang out their 600 each day.

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

My main concern is that the next update doesn't cause a shitstorm with people wanting to branch off or merge with another guild. The last time that happened it didn't go so smoothly. :lol:

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

I saw that Ahovv also left. I had him in my allies list and now he no longer has a guild.

I was talking to one of the Alliance member in my shard and their guild is not even doing HAAT. Similar situation to our SH fiasco. He's in a lower Alliance guild and they can't beat it.

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

Ahovv is on Vacation and will be back on the 9th. He dropped in case we wanted to add an alt for guild coins.

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

Double drops was a joke. I wasted a ton of energy on mods especially.

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

It's magic!

No, you're right. My team is GK (lead), zBarriss, zNihilus, zR2, zYoda. Once I put a zeta on R2 I'm getting better at hanging in the top 20.

I used the double drops to finally get Tarkin to G11 and get Kylo but otherwise nothing special for me.

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

After the SH fiasco, I'm not going anywhere and I'll just quit the game if the guild decides to merge again.
Okay. I didn't know that.
I spent a lot of crystals with the refreshes with the mod farming and didn't get anything special but at least I was able to get Rex to a decent speed (230). The 4 gold mods that dropped did not have any speed secondary and the maximum speed secondary was 10. However, I got a few 5* Speed Arrows (Tenacity and Speed) and 5* CD triangles which are always needed.

From the article:

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

Double drops gave me a bunch of GW currency and nondescript mods.

The flash event was a big bust for me. I hadn't pre-farmed Luke so I was relegated to the second-tier battles, which gave me a lot of weak gear, and I flat-out missed a couple slots.

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

Only 162 minutes? The average has really dropped since I left.

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

Did your children remember you or had your wife already introduced them to "new" daddy?

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

:lol: :up:

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

We really need some new content. Since by Baze is still a work in progress, I'm pretty much just doing enough arena to stay in Top 50, and after GW, there's really nothing to do but sim.

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

When are they going to release the fan favourite?
Also I hope that they start making improvements to Ships as they haven't touch them since they were released last year.

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

Well, I finally did it. Quit cold turkey after 18 months of playing daily. The game is truly amazing to entice me to do that.

Seemed like a good time. I left having achieved #1 in Arena, having built a seven star, gear 11, fully zeta'd squad that could beat any team I played against. That'll change in probably a week, so I'd prefer to go out on top.

It was a good addiction while it lasted, but it's time to get my life back.

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

They need to come out with some new content soon or I will be joining you. I'm beyond tired of playing the same damn Chase/GK/Zarriss teams in GW that take me 20 mins. to figure out how to beat. It's just a time sink. I spent $30M and untold resources to try to get 7* thrawn only to be a far, far, cry from doing it. Way too hard final level.

CG doesn't care. They provide no updates and just sit around collecting cash. Fuck them.

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

Sad to see you go JuryDuty but I understand. I'm just going through the motions now.

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

What's wrong with playing my team?

I agree with Jury and Lopo as well. All I'm doing is the 600 guild energy per day, and pretty much I'm checked out of everything else.

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

Anyone still plodding along with this?

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

Good Lord, not me. I've been tempted to reinstall just to see where the game is at, but I can't. It was just to much like crack. :shrug:

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

I'm still playing, but it's tough keeping up with the Joneses. Between getting kind of a late start and rarely paying real money, I feel like I'm a couple generations of characters behind everyone else.

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

I still am. I don't spend a dime on it though.

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

Same. And miss you Pin! I think there still is a good number of Talkers left.

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

Wow, pretty cool that it sounds like quite a few people are still playing. The community was the hardest part about leaving for me. Great team for sure.

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

I love Star Wars, but man do I really hate this game now.

Having said that, I am still "playing". -screwy-

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

I was kicked from the guild last night. Really bummed, very surprised. Kicked, then informed of it. Not how I would've handled it. It's unfortunate.

I was told I'm not active enough. Was surprised because there were new rules about expectations and how to get kicked and I wasn't breaking those rules and wasn't warned personally, as far as I know. They didn't say it's any other reason, but behind it, too, could be that I'm not one of the top players (that new Sith raid is nuts and if you don't have the right squad rosters it's easy to end up Rank #45 if you're lucky), could also be I don't always have the best roster for each situation, though I'm really trying hard to remain F2P and just when you start chasing one set of characters it turns out you should've been chasing another set of characters.

I don't know. I understand that officers want to change the direction of the guild. I wish they'd handled it differently. I honestly can't remember the last time I was cut from a team and it has a similar feeling to being dumped. I've joined another guild in the meantime and they seem nice and have an expectation level I think I can commit to and while I have an open mind, the pain is real and it truly won't be the same since its not with you all. I may check out the other Star Wars game that Supermallet mentioned, see how that goes.

It's just a game, but it sucks.

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

I'm not a part of the guild anymore but with the new Sith Heroic Raid if you aren't powerful and contributing, you are a liability. I have no idea why you were cut though.

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

Gave this up almost a year ago, I think. The grind was just utterly tedious.

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

It hasn't gotten any better, in fact, it's probably gotten worse.

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

With the exception of Killer, all the guild officers are external to DVDTalk. They have a real "elite" mentality to running the guild, and there is no room for the "casual" anymore, which in my opinion, was the best part of the guild.

Personally, I'm pretty sick of it, and really am only sticking around for the DVDTalkers still in the guild.
