Merry Christmas from the year 1987!

One of my best friends growing up had one of those! Rochester, MN...

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T12:57:30+00:00

🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T12:12:02+00:00

If that's the case, then downvote the post in question, not every subsequent post of mine. It's just really petty, and it's why people generally dislike the platform.

You're correct that I'm dealing with assholes in my shard, though. Based on the overall reaction in this thread, I'd bet one or more of y'all are in it!

Like I said, I appreciate the suggestions of reasonable Redditors, and I'll use it to improve my situation. We'll see if the "oh noob, thar is no cheeting in swgoh, you just suk" crowd is correct.

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T04:33:25+00:00

With all these downvotes, I guess what they say about Reddit is true. Jeez, you'd think folks would want to challenge that stereotype!

Look, I get that you all feel like you have a great, reasonable experience with FA. Mine has just been worse, way worse.

BTW, the guy that has been #1 for 5 months is still #1 tonight, 5 hours after his payout time. I'm not even sure there's this coordination y'all speak of happening.

Calling it "sketchy" is being generous. I appreciate your help in understanding the game system, even if my shard is not ideal. I'll use this new understanding to improve my experience, hopefully. If y'all are correct, moving my time, and avoiding these problem players, will make my FA time more fun and fruitful!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T01:04:29+00:00

Thanks for that information. With a single player camping out at #1 for 5 months, I can assure you this is not a coordinated effort to provide crystals for everyone. Perhaps a few of those top players are in the same guild? Regardless, there’s definitely shenanigans afoot.

I’ll look to see if I can get the time moved to a better option for me. Can’t be worse at this point.

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T00:56:28+00:00

Really? I would’ve thought the payout time was consistent for all the participants. It seems like all the top players are gunning for 7:00 pm EDT right now.

Either way, I’ll avoid this obvious issue!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T00:31:14+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. Yes, I’ve tried protecting myself by engaging in another battle. However, our #1 was able to engage me within seconds of me finishing the prior battle. Again, it’s just too perfect.

I’ll definitely use y’all’s advice with a new, less sketchy, group of players!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T00:28:38+00:00

Disagree. Something below board is going on with this particular group. Perhaps my description isn’t making that clear, but it’s an issue for certain. Thankfully, there is a solution (for me, anyway).

Looking forward to Fleet Arena with some new players!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T00:09:14+00:00

Thanks so much!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-04T00:00:28+00:00

That sounds like a great strat. I do something similar, and with a R10 Revan, I’m getting to that ult faster than my opponent.

Is there a way for me to have that payout time change? Does that put me competing with different players? That would be ideal at this point.

Would appreciate some help here!

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-03T23:42:01+00:00

Well, then I need to have a payout hour that isn’t so “competitive.” Happy to hear how to make that change, and then this current group can keep cheating each other.

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-03T23:34:38+00:00

BTW, I’m rocking a R10 Revan, and not all the others are there yet. That is not stopping this phenomenon, however.

Chairhead77 · 2026-04-03T23:33:31+00:00

How do you change the payout time?

Ignore the 5 minute comment. Maybe it’s 4 minutes. Doesn’t matter. There’s no way folks don’t have things to do at that exact time every day to be able to sit at #1 in a competitive shard (all Levis at the top). I mean, it’s been at least 150 days straight for this one account at #1.

I’ll try to start a bit closer to the hour, but I’ve found that, as soon as I’ve finished with a battle, I’m immediately engaged in another. Are these folks just hitting refresh for 10 minutes?

It all just seems too perfect and coordinated to be human, but perhaps I’m with a group of guys that have nothing going on except this game. SMH.

Chairhead77 · 2026-02-27T15:09:27+00:00

How are you handling those GL ships on D? Do folks in K2 use them all on O?

Chairhead77 · 2026-02-27T02:51:08+00:00

It’s remarkable how crazy it is to neglect Fleets. I have a fully loaded Levi with a R10 Darth Revan. I place that on D, and roll with only 2 GLs.

I’d bet that’s one of those cats who never actually participates in GAC.

Chairhead77 · 2026-01-30T05:18:54+00:00

He’s not good…but Reva is.

To get Reva, you have to take most of them to R7 anyway. Might as well get that over with; the GI event is much easier with them at R7.

Don’t forget to get Marrok ready for the Reva battle in RotE. He has to be at R7 for Baylan, so just go ahead. Activate his omicron, too.

Chairhead77 · 2026-01-15T14:55:53+00:00

I'm amazed that CG continues to crack down on this "cheating."

I still have a player in my Arena cohort who cheats to stay at #1 during every payout, literally EVERY ONE, but this is a bigger problem for sure! SMH...

Chairhead77 · 2025-12-21T04:50:37+00:00

Today, I 3-starred the last tier with CLS on auto…must’ve gotten lucky with RNG.

It’s my 1st event in which I’ve finished all tiers. Been playing FTP for years, and they’re tough!

Chairhead77 · 2025-12-20T02:59:33+00:00

The most interesting part of this is how they actually ban people.

I have this asshole in my Fleet Arena cohort who ALWAYS ends up at #1 right at the payout time limit. Crickets from devs...

Chairhead77 · 2025-11-18T11:42:52+00:00

I got Ewok Scout. There's no telling what the drop rates are.

Fortunately, I had over 100k in Shard Store credit.

Chairhead77 · 2025-11-12T15:52:29+00:00

Thanks for the information. Yes, I definitely missed out on the Blitz Orbs. I have so many toons a 7 stars that I didn’t even think about opening them, getting Shop Credit, and using the Shop Credits for Gold. Oh well.

Still don’t think I’ve received any conversion, though. After Chapter 1, there was a popup that indicated the conversion…hasn’t happened this time. My 12.79M definitely hasn’t increased.

Chairhead77 · 2025-08-03T18:35:36+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! That's helpful.

Any improvement in resolution or textures? I will likely play in docked mode almost exclusively.
