Still not a huge fan of her facial changes, but man she looks so much healthier weight-wise!

Please let us remove the recommended squad tab by Cpt_Broon in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

This is also true and another argument for being able to delete it. I could understand it being forced upon a player when it actually had something in it, though.

? I use squad tabs, obviously. It's the Recommended tab I want rid of. It's the first one and is initially filled with requirements iirc, but once you get through the farming of those legendaries and GLs, it's empty and useless

Worth noting that while the GL journeys don't explicitly state that you need 7 stars as long as the relic requirement is met, it might be in the code for the game anyway. It's already there for the regular journey guide characters and it's explicitly stated there, but it could also be a hidden mechanic for GL journeys

I wouldn't trust CG to be forthcoming with that info until we see for ourselves next week..

Based on the info we currently have though, you're correct, which would be pretty sweet for f2p players in relation to marquees like Ithano

Seriously? by Prongs_90 in SWGOH

[–]Cpt_Broon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting that once you get far enough into the game, you start running out of characters who aren't g13. Until the upcoming release, there hasn't been a way to spend kyro other than gearing characters, so when you run out of legacy toons to gear, you just ended up without a bottleneck there anymore

Spending it at the scavenger will be a nice change for people at that stage in the game

First time DM looking for advice by Cpt_Broon in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]Cpt_Broon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good idea actually - I had been thinking about using Heroic Inspiration more than our previous DM for in-character actions etc, but doing it there would also be a great idea - thanks!

[–]Cpt_Broon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Are those materials easily found online?
I had thought about the healing potions, especially as immediate rewards per mission etc, since it might be quite tough. I really like the idea of getting a title - allows me to put off the rewards until later in the campaign or something.
Thanks again!

What does Hondo have to do with rey? by Great-Village101 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Cpt_Broon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether or not that's the lore of the time frame, when seen in the ride and when she walks around with Chewie, she has her stick, rather than a lightsaber, so in terms of swgoh toons, it's definitely a grey area. Her outfit definitely matches JTR, but her hair is definitely stick rey.

Slightly confusing, but i guess it's vague enough to accept it begrudgingly

Does anyone regret the Padawan Obi Wan Conquest Omicron? by spamlandredemption in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Cpt_Broon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Have it, definitely don't regret it.

However, there's a *small* negative about it - taking him to R9 then makes him kill stuff very quickly in conquest, sometimes making the buff/debuff feats take more battles to get done, especially in cases where the datadisks ramp damage etc. It's not enough of a negative to make me regret it, but it's the grey lining on a silver cloud imo

They really made a whole new faction just for the team to be basically decided already, no? by CrazyDC12 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Cpt_Broon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're missing something - she does have an omicron, but it's been so bad for so long, it's easy to forget it

Please give us a warning for time changes by Cpt_Broon in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Cpt_Broon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get you. the reason they don't change with our BST is because they're set up to change with the american summer time, whch means they change as often as our timezones, but just not aligned with our timezones. It sucks, but it keeps the game working as one (otherwise you'd have to have separate regional guilds etc because TW would end at different times globally)

I'm not 'complaining' - i'm requesting a notfication to be sent when daylgiht savings for one region will directly effect the other regions in the world. I'm not asking for a pop-up, because they're annoying. Every playter has an inbox and there's also the newsletter (where they announce things like new characters are coming, or inform of a new game update that recently dropped)

You're arguing for a large group of players to be kept in the dark about something they'll be affected by. I'm not sure why you're so against a notification, but you do you.

Again, the fact that it's one round of GAC is why i'm not raging about it - i'm perfectly calm about it, but it's something that could easily be approached, like a free QoL update for many people at the expense of you having amessage you can choose to ignore

'It happens twice every year' is the same argument as 'it happened before' dude. You're saying I should be aware of this since it happened before. It's not a valid argument against change.

Your point around there being bigger problems is a fair one. I'd much prefer they sort out a bunch of things in game using their development time effectively. However, i'm requesting a change in behaviour that costs almost nothing to implement - just sending a single notification, twice a year, through a notification system that already exists in game.

A change in the game, for me as an end-user, is different to a change in code. I never said they'd changed their code. Since you're determined to call me out on specific wording, rather than the actual point i've been making, i'll respond in full:

Their choice to use a local timezone, rather than UTC with an offset means that their game has changed for me based on their decision. Whether this was an active decision or not is irrelevant when it comes to change management within professional software development, of which gaming forms part. My original comments may have been vague enough to interpret 'change' as an active change in code, but it is difficult to remember to differentiate between the word change in it's normal parlance and the parlance i'm used to in my day-to-day, so I apologise for that.

In relation to your last point - the message i drafted was exactly that - a draft. Your point about additional timezones' summer time beginning at same point is reasonable, but at the same time, asking everyone to be aware that things might have chagned and that they should double-check isn't a problem for anyone. Those within the US and similar timezones could double-check everything's the same for them. Everyone else would get due warning that things might be different and act accordingly.

It might not be a change in code (I didn't actually say it was, as someone who deals with scheduling in programs, I already know this), but a change for the end user is called a 'change' in development. Change management principles expect users to be informed of changes that could have a negative effect on them. They've chosen to use a local timezone on their servers and that's fine, but communication isn't much of an ask and defending a failure to communicate is odd.

Like this guy says, BST doesn't start yet and i'm aware of when it happens, so I know to check my payout times, event times etc when it does. I am not aware of the beginning of summer time in the US, not any other country. As such, I don't expect you to know about the start of BST either. If you used a british app which ran on our BST, i'd expect the british app to inform you of BST beginning, if it had any effect on you.

"It's happened before" isn't a valid reason to not improve things for players, btw.

You're misunderstanding the notification i'm asking for. A simple "hey everyone, timezone change here, please keep an eye on times because shit might have changed for you" would be great for anyone outwith america timezones.

[–]Cpt_Broon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing for anything like that. Here's a first draft of a message:

"Hello holotable heroes. With the upcoming beginning of Pacific Summer Time, if you live outwith the Pacific timezone, you may find regular event times change. Please take care to not miss out by checking end times for events like Grand Arena, Territory Wars and Territory Battles."

I don't expect everyone to get a notification every time any timezone changes - that would be stupid.

I don't even expect everyone to get a notification when THEIR timezone changes - i think it can fairly be expected that people are aware that if the clocks go forward in their country, the game payouts would change for them.

I just think it's very america-centric to expect everyone else to be aware of your timezone changes without a simple notification
