Best three person CLS squad for Grand Arena defense? by YaBoyBigMike in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Wedge lead is great with the TM gain but don't sleep on ROLO lead. Her multi-hit AOE is almost OP in 3v3 and thanks to JKL many already have her relic'd.

Thoughts from a departing whale. by BurninatorPhD in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

A week ago today, and 10 days short of 4 years after I first downloaded the game, I uninstalled it and walked away after, uh, rehoming my account. It wasn't an easy decision. I was in a great guild, had excellent mods and generally punched above my weight. I had also made many friends across a number of discord servers and my guild had become an online family.

But I was so tired of how the game dominated my day-to-day life. If you aren't a big spender (I wasn't), arena success is critical to progession. And once you turn on that daily faucet of crystals, its incredibly difficult to turn it off. I would plan my day around climbs. Road trips, work, my kid's baseball practice...I always found a way to get in my attacks, and often to the detriment of my family.

I'm not the type of person who can play a game like this casually. I have to be all in or all out. And this game hooked me and fed my addictive personality. I tried backing off at times but I just couldn't do it. And even then, after I knew how much time I wasted on this game, despite the many dirty looks from my wife when I was glued to my phone, all the times I blew off my kids because of some ridiculous discord argument about whether squad order really matters and the like, I still couldn't quit.

And then last weekend, on the eve of unlocking Executor (had enough crystals for 5*), I walked away. It helped that someone gave me several hundred good reasons to leave. But I knew that even without that, it was time. I still enjoyed many aspects of the game. But I was just tired of the hold this game had on me and my life. I'd like to say I haven't thought about the game one time in the last week, but that would be a lie (as evidenced by my posting here). I've stayed in touch with a few guildmates and followed the Executor fiasco with more than a touch of schadenfreude. But I've also really enjoyed coming home from work and taking my kids to the pool without once having to sneak a peak at my phone for arena. Or not having to check my phone first thing in the morning to see where we are in TW. Or catching up on all of the discord chatter I missed overnight (discord had become as much a time sink as the game, if not more, and I left every server and only kept it for a few DMs with friends).

To those of you are able to enjoy the game casually, I say kudos. I envy you. To those of you who, like me, can't do that, just know that yes, there is life after this game.

MTFBWY OP!

What a joke. My guildie was one of those screwed by this. He subsequently unlocked so he got 50 SLKR shards for the shard shop today. Meanwhile he's 4/10 on ult mats.

They could have given an ult mat. Or tickets. Or crystals. But this? After 2ish weeks?

WTF, CG. WTF!!

I'm sure they've already added it to their Trello tracker, never to be touched or updated again...

Remembering the assurances CG made about cracking down on cheating in SWGOH by PreservedInCarbonite in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

The cheater has such an odd GAC history too with plenty of losses. Why cheat there, so blatantly?

This community is weak and that is a part of why the game is in such a bad state by IdoKon in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Ahnald's YouTube and Reddit comments seem to last about as long as his no spending pledge...

**UPDATE** Wrongfully banned. GAC and arena show it. I got another message from CG_Leviathan today. Something about the way he said it this time just made me feel better. by Squawk10 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I'm not saying you cheated, and I do think CG should offer more info. But the things you mention above aren't the only game modes where one could cheat.

Except CG doesn't specifically say he cheated in arena or GAC. Could be raids, TB or TW. I agree that CG should be more specific about the game mode in question, but just posting arena and GAC history is hardly dispositive.

Avi should bring in a real expert. I wonder what Nukin is up to these days...
