I've seen people have success with Apple in the past. The guy was super friendly and had some understanding of how being locked out of your account in a game like this isn't quite the same as say losing your Angry Birds advancement. They stated it was a one time thing they were doing for me, and I believe the key was my statement that if the game relies completely on Game Center to preserve your account, it needs to be extremely apparent the second you start the game. He seemed actually quite surprised they were unable to recover it for me, especially since I was regularly spending $$ on it.

Working on Greedo in Arena at the moment - wondering if it'd be better to work on Ackbar? Almost got Teebo to 6*, too. All this grindin' coming together.

Still unable to do reasonable damage on Rancor and have yet to get anybody to Gear 10. Geno Buddy is at Gear 9, though. I hear going to 10 with him breaks his damage - can anybody confirm it?

I was so close to having the killing blow.



Like I said the first part of the raid against the Guards was total bullshit but at least after that I could at least be doing some sort of damage against the Rancor.

Good job QGJ!

IGD is almost done with T6 raid #2. We're much better prepared this time around.

It's a bit odd that the game recommends gear 8 for a T6 raid when you clearly need G9+ to survive more than a few hits. It's such a jump in difficulty compared to T5.

I hear the T7 raid has a lot less HP though, so even though you need 7* toons it's not such a slog.

Greedo is a very good DPS. His damage per turn is stellar but he's slower than the top tier damage dealers. If you can't take advantage of Thermal Detonator (and AoE works best if you stack it) there's no reason to take him over Rey, Geonosian Soldier, or someone at the same speed but harder-hitting like IG-86 or FOTP, except that Greedo is easier to farm. Because there's no one else in Arena shipments that's as good at DPS except IG-88 in a droid team.

Ackbar is not really comparable, he goes on your team if your success depends on giving one of your characters as many turns as possible or you want to combo Yoda's AoE into Battle Meditation. Or use Asajj's two buttons to do the same as Echo's one button. Or double up on Lando's Double Down. He's also reportedly good for clearing deathmark in raid phase 1.

Great - thank you.

I've gotten Rey unlocked, and slowly starring her up but I wanted to get Greedo too. Namely to replace Sid in my Rancor team, as he's falling so far behind.

Welp hosed on that event. They also mentioned rebalancing characters based on feedback. I assume they will add more antijedi abilitys, nerf gqj and remove the heal over time from lumis heal. Then buff Sid's dodge and dorkuus damage. Oh almost forgot nerf assaij.

I get attacked way less often since I started using Old Ben as an arena lead for defense, I guess people don't want to put up with the dodge bullshit. Old Ben/ST Han/Rey is actually a pretty good combo for me so I guess it's also possible they're winning defenses.

JKA is utter trash currently, his basic hits for 2000, special for 1500 at level 79 (and yes that is ability level 7, 7*, max gear 8 save furnace). I thought he would be a viable replacement for Lumi in arena but with him in I lost twice to teams I beat easily before. Don't bother, or, like me, hope he gets buffed :)

Hk(l), 88, 86, poggle, jawa engi is a rough loving team. They basicly get 2 turns before you get one, then 88 and hk each get a extra attack on aoe(from the turn meter on crit). And now you get to go after 2.5 turns of poggled droids smashing you. This was the 6th node in gw.

So here I was, blissfully grinding away in this toilet game. I decided to read up on how the guild reset and schedule works, and now I'm suddenly not happy anymore since the guild (GGA) reset is 2:30 AM in my timezone, so there's no way to double up on the guild activities unless I stay up after midnight but that's not gonna happen. Or am I getting it wrong?

I'd never join a pubbie guild anyway, but maybe there'll be a Eurogoon guild or something. Also did nobody suggest Plo Goon for guild name? Or is that racist.

Critique my Arena team!

Currently I'm level 62 running Phasma (L), Luminara, Daka, Geo Soldier, and Sidius

Sod for heal immunity on the target I want to focus on, some healers, Phasma for the statuses and occasional assist. I win most every game by miles, but I'm still hovering in the 100s on my shard because I don't refresh arena fights. The only other team that has worked as well was that with Rey in place of Sid, but I get really frustrated every time I missed my target by just a little an watched them get healed to full.

Thoughts and changes?

Most top end teams don't run healers at all, barring Daka for stuns. You're going to find that Sid's value starts diminishing as the opposing team's tenacity increases. Keep levelling Rey.

I'm under the impression that Lumi is still a good attacker, no? With the ability block does she keep up?

I'm still working on Rey, as well as QGJ and ST Han so I can get through more LS missions. RG is also on my radar once I unlock more farmable locations for him.

Lumi is OK, but once you start getting to level 70+ and running into lots of Reys, she is much less useful. I run Dooku/Rey/Daka/RG/QGJ, everyone but RG and Dooku are 7* (RG is close to 7, Dooku is 25/100, so a while yet), and all at least G8. I still drop down from the top 5 to ~16 or so every day. All my competition is full 7*, I think I need to finish up RG/Dooku to make myself less of a target. I might switch from Dooku to Old Ben I guess at some point, it seems like most of the top tier teams are using him on my shard.

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
Lumi is outclassed by both QGJ and STHan. Her basic does too little damage, healing is not really needed at the sharp end of arena (the dmg per turn the top attackers knock out far outstretches any healing you could do). And if you want ability block, Old Ben is literally 5x better.

I run a Phasma,RG,STHan,Rey,QGJ team and it rocks. STH and Phasma give tons of extra attacks and TM, RG keeps everyone alive and 1 of the enemy stunned each turn, Rey dishes out the damage and QGJ does the awesome stuff that makes him awesome.

I usually wake up inside the top 10 and breeze to #1 with this comp. Although I don't think many others are in the same time zone as me so your mileage may vary.

That sounds decent, but Dooku is a better lead. Once I finish RG, I'm going to work on Ben, because if you are already running QGJ (and his omega adds 1 turn to that offence up), then TM gain is better than offence up. Also Ben just has so much HP.

Alternatively, QGJ, Yoda, Rey, RG, +1 is really good. Doesn't even have to be a jedi, Yoda goes so loving fast and his basic grants TM and foresight. Then he does an AOE to get all the buffs and his stupid everyone gets all the buffs things...GS, Phasma, Savage, and Daka would all be good in the fifth slot.

I'm still running G8 Dooku, G9 RG, G9 Rey, G9 Daka, G10 QGJ, all 7* except RG (~80/100). I'm not always super happy with Daka, but her double stun is impressive. She rarely revives on offence, and I feel like GS or ST Han would be a better fifth -- and yes, STH + RG is really good, I've lost to it.

While this sucks, it's not actually that big of a deal. The rewards don't scale very hard for contributions, so you might miss out on 15-20 guild coins per day...it adds up, but not to that much. 7 days * 20 = 140 which is still less than 1/3 of 5 shards, or less than 1/10 of 5 salvage.
