Got Daka to 7* a few days ago. Just hit her from a bronzium so 32 unusable shards get converted to 480 Shard Shop tokens. Now I have 960 and I've already bought Vader twice thanks to the free Phasma shards iOS got recently.

I am on iOS. I told them that they nerfed the characters that I paid for. That I felt it was bait-and-switch. That major sections of the game were unplayable. I pointed them to the app store ratings. 2* at the time I looked. I got the notice today that the refund was approved.

The original statements that I saw from the devs was that everything was fine. They said they'd played through on their personal accounts. Now they're blaming "bugs". "Bugs" that they didn't notice in testing. "Bugs" that they didn't notice after release. I think they became "bugs" when the ratings cratered and a lot of people applied for refunds.

I hope they fix things, but I'm glad to be out.

If this info holds, we should be happy to complete tier 5. Tier 6 looks like it'll pose a real challenge at this point.

I think we are good to tier 6. Tier 7 looks to be the terror.

I hope we can get a good 35 people out of this thing or we will be screwed with some of the accumulation requirements.

I'll have an Old Ben level 70, 7* for the guild by the end of the week. I'm like 4 days away from having a 7* QGJ. I don't care if he's less useful now, I have come this far, I'm getting 7*.

That's how I feel about mace. He should be much better. I feel dumb for choosing him over ashoka but she hadn't been buffed at the time. Oh well. When I get Yoda at 7* I may never farm Jedi again unless it's Luke.

Nice! I've been farming Lando from Cantina after my analysis last week but I'm getting a shitty shard drop rate. I've got him to L74 and G7.5 but still at 2* and only 11/25. I'm also spending 100/day in there on a refresh.

I may try to see if the 8-energy node offers the same drop rate as the 12-energy one. At least I'd be getting 50% more attempts even if I willingly reduce my token rate from 1.75 to 1.625 per energy ;)

I've just been doing the 8 energy nodes for Ben. I think it's just random, some days Ill get like 14 shards, today 8. I use a refresh daily there as well. After Ben, I'm going to go for Dooku (glad I 3* that cantina node before the update).

With GW, I was doing IG86 to start working on a droid team, but that may be on hold after the update and go Phasma.

I was planning to go for a droid team too with Poggle, IG86, IG88, HK-47 and GS but have to put that onhold for a while by the looks of it.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Once I'm done with Mace (this week, thank the lord) I am moving back to 7* Dooku.

In fact, I'd like to recommend that everyone 7* all characters that they have a good chance of doing. Pinata was right - from what I've been reading, the bread and butter of guilds will be 7* characters and we need as many as we can get.

DVD Josh 04-18-16 12:03 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Let's just take Monday for example. Tier 7 is 9900 LS battles. Even if you have 50 members, that is 198 battles PER MEMBER. Assuming an avg. of 8 energy per battle, that would require 1584 energy. You get 240 free energy a day. So you have to refresh 8 times to get what else you need! EVERYONE has to do this!

Tuesday is also tough. 590 GW node clears means everyone has to finish GW basically. 10 of your members can get to node 11. And if ONE member for whatever reason can't do GW that day...you can't get the rewards.

These look like goals for a 100 person guild, not a 50 person one.

Also, is Thursday even possible? 530 daily challenges? That's 10.6 challenges per member, but there are only 8 per day!!

I very much worry that the P2P and F2P gap is about to get very, very wide.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Man, I wish they would just lump the LS/DS battles together. I am not going to limit my shard collecting for certain characters.

No one should.

pinata242 04-18-16 12:42 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Are we sure we're not missing something? Even if you factor in the 1:00, 7:00, and 10:00 bonus energy for 375/day, a 50-person guild can only hit 3,125 LS/DS battles per day which isn't even tier 4. And that's for ONLY the 6-energy battles which no one will do.

We would have to come up with a schedule of who is required to refresh every day to reach that or 5. Insane.

pinata242 04-18-16 12:44 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
It should be based on total stars in LS, DS, and Cantina. So we don't have to keep proving ourselves, but strive to get that last elusive star across all the guild.

I'm not good at GW any more. Best I can do is 10 nodes. I used to only use my "A team" because I didn't need anyone else. Now I'm trying to play it "correctly" but I just don't have the synergy to make it. Maybe if rested characters healed up I could rotate. As it is, you just have to go as far as you can with the first team and then switch. And again. At the end the opponents are powerful enough to give you a run with a fully healed squad but with this Protection nonsense, you'll never have a perfect squad at that point.

Not having Barriss is really hurting you in the new meta. Even having her at 4* is a game changer.

I'm still FC with GW since the change but I have a ton of healers and tanks. You are really skilled at this game so I'm pretty sure that in a few weeks or so you'll be back to FC.
