Any room in goon guilds, or are they both still full?

Also, looking to get some allies. Note: I currently suck.

So, uh. How long will the Commander Luke go for? I am 122 shards away from seven starring Old Ben.

If you want to be a dolphin for a bit, I think the Old Ben pack has 80 shards in it...

The special Phoenix mission is surprisingly difficult for a mission that is all-or-nothing for rewards and has a minimum of 2*, level 45 characters.

I'm level 70 and my Phoenix squad is 65-ish, in phase 3 I was fighting level 80 enemies. If you got something for beating each phase it wouldn't be so bad but...

I'm torn right now between getting Wiggs up, getting my First Order team finished, and just taking a hard left to start Phoenix squad after getting very nearly rocked by them in GW last night.

If you're at the point where you can farm Wedge, Phoenix Squad is gonna be dropping off pretty hard. They're resilient but they have a hard time actually killing anything unless you're at a massive disadvantage in gear. I'd focus on doing Wiggs, pair them with Chaze and ride that team to the top.

Though keep in mind Chaze is way more difficult to farm if you're F2P.

Mostly Baze but yeah. Even without him though, Chirrut is good and does really well with a Wedge lead.

Star Wars Galaxies was the old MMO. At one point Lucasarts shut it's servers down, killing the game, so all the time put into the game was lost. From what I remember, at the moment of shut down, the player base got together and jumped to lightspeed at the same time.

edit: Oh, unless OP meant when they took Jedi from being super hard to build up, and super great as a result for a reward, to easy to build up, but no less strong, meaning suddenly everyone was a Jedi. Because that happened, too.

Could be a lot of things. STO managed to wreck their game THREE times. Jedi were never good for the game, so two of them have to do with that. Could be the introduction of the Jedi grind destroying the economy, the proliferation of Jedi making every other combat class obsolete or the NGE.

Hermit yoda gonna be gross on assist teams.

I read about using him on a team with an Ackbar lead where CLS is the only other rebel and you have a lot of non-attack actions (so with Thrawn and GK, maybe). Seems like that would get out of control in a hurry with all the extra Luke attacks.

Since R2 comes out tomorrow I wanna ask: right now I use a Wiggs, Chaze and DN team. R2's combat analysis seems really good and I can pour my zetas into him once I hit cap to make him even better. But DN is DN. Should I plan to swap him for R2 once I get him geared?

I'd sooner suggest you drop Wiggs for R2/something else than drop nihilus. That's just CRAZY talk.

I'm on a May 2017 shard, Wiggs-Chaze teams are 43 out of the top 50 teams right now. I know it's not a team you can ride out forever barring large shifts in the meta, but at least until people start capping out en masse I was thinking it could be a big boost to me with the increase to crit and extra stuns.

I have him on deck for if I can break into the top 50 but I'm slogging through a zillion identical Phoenix Squads right now and I seem to lose a shitload of standing overnight when I switch.

Rex is probably the best mix-meta leader in the game. If you've got him and R2 geared and zeta'd, I'd say take the plunge. I held top 50 during the triple cleanse meta with that squad and it should do okay now if the gear and mods are up to par.

Just to be clear, I do not currently have R2 (positioned to unlock him at 5* tomorrow) and I am in the mid-70s so Zetas are still a little ways out.

On my july 2017 shard half the teams in the 50-150 range are Wiggs, Lando, STH, Palpie. My Phoenix squad chews through this line up without effort, but i lose 100-150 positions every night :(
Actually the only teams i have lost against when on offense in a month or so have been other Phoenix teams. The key for PS vs PS is to kill Kanan asap so debuffs doesn't heal them up.

Yeah a lot of people on my shard are still using Phoenix Squad, but they only have one or two teams that occasionally break through into the very bottom of the top 50.

Sabine is the phoenix squad member you need the least, which helps because she's also the hardest farm.

Speaking of SW Rebels, is this a show for kids or can adults that are star wars fans (though not turbosperg die hard fans that have actual discussions on who shot first) get some enjoyment out of it?

Seems like that depends on the episode you watch. For example, the main bad guy now is Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is like the least "kid show" bad guy you can have since his main powers are "thorough planning" and "art appreciation." But there's also a lot of bad slapstick humor and the kid characters like to undercut good moments with really terrible quips (like when Vader shows up to fight Ahsoka, or when Darth Maul tracks down Obi-Wan on Tatooine).

You probably don't have enough time to farm up Phoenix Squad to unlock Thrawn, but that should definitely be a target for you. They're not really viable at your level for arena, but Thrawn is probably the best character in the game who isn't Commander Luke.

To get Luke you're going to need a 7* R2-D2 so your targets should be getting a 7* Empire squad (for R2) and 7* Phoenix squad (for Thrawn).

The good news is you have 7* for a couple of the characters you're gonna need for CLS (STH and Leia) so you just need to max out Old Ben and Farmboy Luke on top of getting a 7* R2. But we don't know when CLS is coming back so you still have time there.

I think an easy fix would be if people who completed the special stuff (ROLO shards, ect) got bonus currency. Seven people finish so everyone gets seven shards. If you are one of the seven you get 25% more so rounds up to 10.
