The Alliance Leader can set it so that only Captains can start Raids.

Yeah, I am the guy who founded Great Lakes Goon Squad - it is possible to make it so only captains can start raids, but we haven’t had a discussion about who can and can’t be captains. What do other guilds do? Is there a limit to how many captains an alliance can have? Only thing I can think that’s fair is to make it so that people who consistently contribute 600 points to raids get that rank.

You can either set it up by who's online at certain times to reliably open up raids, or who contributes the most damage in raids so that they can open a raid and immediately go off on their own path.

Maintenance is over, got the new patch.. still getting the old "stuck at 42%" bug. Great.

Edit: Anyone else's game having to lad a lot of little things over and over? I feel like there's massive slowdowns now.

Update your Google Games whatever it's called app. That's what fixed it for me after the update.

Just pick a handful of people who are reliable and easy to get a hold of and on at various hours. Don’t overthink it. It’s not like you’re giving them the power of life and death. It’s just opening raids.

So, not being able to see blitz progress to the next tier until after a fight is a really cool feature. I love having to write down my progress when I go to bed so I know what notch I'm at when I wake up.

On a side note, should we think about organizing the numerous goon guilds according to account progression? I'm sure we could have one guild thinking about running level 50 raids if we consolidated a little. Even more so with the thanos raids.

You probably don't have enough Thanos raid keys for a good one yet, it's hard to come by.

We're at 12.3k keys, need 14k for the level 35 raid. Popping a level 25 would be silly at this point IMO.

The second to last Thanos mission reliably crashes for me as soon as vision does his first attack. Annoying.

Apparently upgrading to iOS 11 fixes it, I'll verify this afternoon since I need to be on wifi to update.

I'd be down for this, half the alliance doesn't join raids so it holds back the people who do.

This seems like a good idea as long as someone else organizes it!

I do love my I am Goon brothers and sisters, though.

As to Thanos raids, we are almost to 14k keys to run a 35. Check the chat in game if you want to know what’s going on, by the way.

You are in. Welcome. We operate mainly out of the GOH discord mentioned in the OP. Hit the ppen 40 for payout...it is already at 60% though so don't go nuts. We are launching a lvl 35 Thanos as soon as we have the tickets.

Thanos raids use a different pool of energy btw, it's purple instead of green, so people shouldn't hold off on attacking normal raids to try and save it for thanos or whatever.

I'm not sure about the healing charges though, can anyone confirm whether those are shared across both types of raid?

Yep. 3 Captains who are sympatico with your raid policy seems about right. We tried an 'everyone' policy for about 12 hours in GRA...it was rough.

Played this morning and started the game up this afternoon, game keeps stating it needs to restart at 42% and then at 10%. Not sure what happened and tried to re-download, same thing.
