I can't wait for 7* Rey, personally.

I wish I was good enough to EVEN BEAT the Cantina battles that would allow me to start farming RG.

Yeah, I'm glad they added some good heroes to farm in the newest cantina addition, but it is really slow. I think I average about 5-7 shards per day (with 1 cantina refresh), and then another 2 from hard mode shards for RG.


e: New guild policy for IGD: if you reach the end of the week and have no weekly guild coins contribution, you'll be removed unless you've PM'd me. I generally watch this thread, but, sometimes I miss posts, so just PM me.

Also, we have one opening, and if Hilarity doesn't come back or post or something, we'll have a second one.

My character I put too many resources in is Lando. I only use him for the attackers challenge, but I put a bunch of time and resources into him that I should have just spent on fives

I read that he's hit or miss but I want to get an Ackbar/Luke/Han/Lando/Hoth Rebel Scout team a chance just to see how it will do. Hoth Rebel Scout seems bananas on a Rebel team with Leia but I think that team might be okay too.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let our spreadsheet go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.

I think I'm out of gear to farm for and ready to just do the Credits event after I get my shards. My team I actually use and have leveled up basically all need gear you can only get from completing the raid. Which is kinda hard because I can barely keep up with our guild killing it.

I'm just happy I got Savage Opress and Barriss maxed out now. Once I level Opress up and maybe get Kylo Ren leveled up I can make the really bullshit full counter team I've been wanting to annoy people with.

Really sucked they nerfed Fives. And they're acting like it was a bug. It only lasted since they upped the cap from 70 to 80. "Oh no it's just a bug we're finally able to fix it"

Edit: Oh, and they never fixed the bug where FOST gets additional counter attacks for every bonus attack he takes, unlike any other counter-attack hero.

Previously if he applied slow on his first attack, he would attack a second time that turn. Now he only attacks twice if the target is slowed before he attacks/counters.

He won't double attack with his omega level basic on the turn he applies speed down. So a bit less double attacking. I'm going to keep farming him, he's super tanky and it's still a strong ability.

Yeah, there's almost zero chance Fives was ever intended to work that way, but these people can't seem to put lines of code in the proper order to save their loving lives. Basically the same "bug" that used to allow Offense Up for your team on first turn by using Qui-Gon's special on unbuffed Savage.

Any idea how they might integrate spaceships into this? Maybe it's just a tease and they'll never get around to it, since it seems like it would be a lot of :effort:

I don't think it would work to use them as a bombers during normal battles, that would just mess up the balance even more. But since that would require the least effort on their part that's probably what they'll do. They don't even have to make models for the ships since they'll be off-screen!

I guess they could use the combat format we have now, but instead of characters we have small fighter ships and instead of fighting on a plant it's in space. You'd assign a character to each fighter for a certain bonus, which is where the pilot characters would be useful. We could have a new raid event where you battle against one big capital ship.

That's what I expected. Or they'll have different sizes of ships, and you can use your characters to 'man' them. Yoda sitting on a turret in the Falcon while a Pig Guard flys it, and Sidious is repairing the engine.

Man that would be cool to have bigger ships with multiple character slots, but sounds like way too much effort for the developers. The scale of the ships is gonna be pretty funky.

EDIT: Ooooh wait the guild gets a capital ship as a base, with each person getting a slot on the bridge or turret. Then you could launch an attack on another guild's capital ship base with your fighter squads.

The datamined ship data had effects on combat (like leader abilities sort of) as well as assist-like abilities where you called your team's ship in to attack.

I think some of the janky characters (Biggs, Plo, JKAnakin) only have halfkits because of ships.

Wow didn't realize there was a long list of all the ships they had in mind: https://swgoh.gg/characters/unobtainable/

I know it doesn't mean much but some of the ships have descriptions that make it sound like they will be a separate battle mode.

So.. Emperor Palpatine is probably going to be gained via a Sith event. Chewbacca via Scoundrel. Luce via nightsister?

Looking at the ships, I think it'll be a "This character gets this ship. Some ships need multiple characters". Falcon needs Han and Chewie, but you just need, say, Anakin for Anakin's Delta-7B.

So. I'd like to advocate for a slightly later raid start time. For me the rancor was down to 75% of stage 4 when I checked in at 7:45 am. Maybe a morning pacific time start rather than at rollover?

We'd previously been doing the late night/early morning start because it took us a whole reset to do the raid anyways. Now that we're doing it faster, I'm putting up a doodle. If you're in IGD and care about what time the Raid starts at, go here:
