Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
SH4 was their non-heroic guild. I decided I couldn't stomach the inaction any longer. No one but old CE members seemed willing to swap into SH4 to help out.
So basically what I have done is forced that. Shattered SH2 and SH4 and rebuild CE 2.0 from it.
SH1 and SH3 should be able to recover and make SH2 heroic again as well.
In the end, everyone should be heroic much sooner than the path we were on.
TL;DR - We're back, baby!

Has anyone had issues getting on this game lately? I only casually play, but every since they dropped that new character last week(forgot it's name) I can not get past the "Checking for Updates or Loading Cantina" screen.

^^ Nope. Every time I struggle to login, it's a function of my internet being wonky at home.

I don't blame them. Pin hit the nail on the head - this game is nothing more than a time and cash grab. They do nothing to prevent cheating and cater to whales. Mostly, it's just not that fun anymore. Pin is a really great guy and I personally thank him for all of his hard work.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Wait--are you serious??
EDIT: I see now and totally get it. Pinata and Univek are the reasons I joined and the guild is really the only reason I'm still in it. Honestly, I've been long contemplating ending my run, too, just because it's a DAILY commitment and you can never get ahead of the game. The moment you fully farm/gear/whatever the character you've been shooting toward, everything changes. And now more than ever it's tough to be a player who doesn't pay cash.
This is certainly giving me pause for thought. Pinata, your organization is what largely helped us succeed. I can't thank you enough for making this hand-down the best guild I've ever been a part of in any game. Maybe I should take this as a sign...

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'm not out yet. I buy the 100 crystal/day pack. I now just farm the characters I want, making the teams I want and don't chase meta. That has made the game more enjoyable. I will also say, playing droids has also made the game fun, and that's why I'm farming grievous.
This is a sad day though.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'll say this, the 10 days I was on vacation and had no internet so was forced not to play were a bit refreshing, but I was sucked right back in mainly because of CE. I'm still in as long as the majority of the guild sticks around. If for some reason it disbands i'm probably done.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
That's why you go for the characters you like, don't chase an ever changing meta. We are also fortunate enough to be in a great guild, wherein there isn't an overwhelming amount of pressure to do daily tasks and we have the players able to beat the current raid bosses.

The amount of work Pinata did behind the scenes was crazy. Maintaining that spreadsheet in the early days was a full time job alone. Mino and the gang seem like they have a good handle on everything, so I am not too worried about the guild falling apart.

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the guild, Piñata. I hope you and Univek don't feel like we're a bunch of ingrates.
My interest in the game has been waning lately, too. Last week I opted to not re-up the 100 crystals/day sub. I'm not ready to quit the whole game cold turkey, though. I'm sure there is another fiasco looming around the corner that might push the rest of us over the edge.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Agreed. Pinata - thanks for everything!
I'm in for at least a bit longer. The game is losing my interest quickly. Ships did nothing to renew my love for the game - quite the opposite. I'll stick around while the guild is strong... because without CE, I'd not really give a care anymore.

Yeah, I also hate the ships. It added to the time needed to play, and the battles take too long. Plus those zeta abilities are nuts. Once they become standard on my shard I am thinking I am done.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Thanks, guys. This was a long time coming for me. Every update put me further and further behind. I found myself opening the app just to look at things I already knew the answer to (when/how/what?). When I messaged UNivek the other day that I was thinking of quitting because, you know, he'd be the one to take over his response was basically "Good idea, BYE!" so he beat me to the punch
Mino and zap and David know what to do. The guild was basically on auto-pilot already. I had a feeling that some departures might cause a ripple effect, but I didn't expect Matt and Guni to leave too.
Keep me updated on the goings-on and the general mood. I saw that as soon as Mino took over, he added "[CE]" to his LINE handle. Hopefully that's just for him!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'm pretty close to a couple milestones with my first zeta and even GK. It's just become a huge time suck. Some days I love it, some days it feels like work. I'll give it a week, but seriously, Pinata has marked the path!
