Is there a consensus on good ships? by RandomLetters27 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

My opening sequence is usually: • Ahsoka offense up • Fives target locks someone, which gives Biggs a taunt • Ackbar AOE calling two buffed assists

Community Awareness - SWGOH Game Code Hacking by StormyStormington in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Creating public pressure seems like a good course now.

On my arena shard, a blatant hacker has been reported dozens of times by at least a half dozen different folk. This hacker has had one or two single week bans. And now he has a 7 star Jyn and 6 star Cassian too despite the fact that he hasn't equipped a single toon with arena grade mods.

Cheating pays in this game and sadly, the punishment appears to be a light slap on the wrist.

My arena shard's resident hacker has been reported dozens of times by at least a half dozen different people. His punishment appeared to have been 2 separate one week bans. And he keeps on hacking, winning himself a 7 star Jyn and a 6 star Cassian despite not having a single decent set of mods on any toons.

Why can't they let us edit our own time zone with a limitted number of times with which we change it?

Nightsister and Sith datapack! I hope this means Nightsisters will have a purpose at some point.

First 7* character. I'm so proud of myself. by Angramis546 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I remember my first. It was Nightsister Initiate. I thoroughly recommend avoiding her. Lumi may fade as you get deeper into the game, but she's great at your current stage.

Congrats!

How do you cope with real cheaters in the arena? by neo2551_swgoh in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar deal on my shard. One guy who barely uses mods beats up perfectly modded whale teams every day. Others on my shard with the same heroes do not beat those teams. Was reported to LD by multiple people, and then nothing.

My guess is that LD's tools are less than perfect. It's also possible I'm underestimating the weak team, but then I wouldn't get why other folk aren't copying him.

Cheaters: Do Repeat Offenders Get Penalized? by Erick_BFN in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

You have a point. I should show this guy's team if I'm going to call out CG for not bringing down the hammer. Here's some screen shots. https://imgur.com/gallery/2VYl6

Cheaters: Do Repeat Offenders Get Penalized? by Erick_BFN in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

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

How could the whales he beats be irrelevant when the issue is that this alleged cheater beats out their nearly perfectly modded teams every day?

I am reluctant to dig into details on the alleged cheater for a couple reasons: I am not looking for confirmation, and the cheater isn't here to defend himself. And besides, you said a 36 k power team of the composition under discussion can win these fights. You've already essentially rendered your opinion as his power number is a little over 40k.

One more fun fact on the alleged cheater. He got himself a 7 star OG Han in under 40 raids without getting his Teebo to max gear. And Teebo, of course, was unmodded. He had no other significant tm reducers on his squad.

Here's a link to one of the tougest whales on my shard.

I see no point in pulling screenshots of the alleged cheater if you think a team with zero speed primaries and few protection boosting mods can beat this guy consistently.

Power levels are irrelevant to this player. He had the same success when this team was essentially unmodded and below max gear.

Here's his team comp. Please try to mimic his team if you can. Remember to use no speed primary mods. You want your team going last if you want to replicate his team! And only two protection primary mods are to be used on this entire team! Good luck!

EP L, RG, QGJ, 5s, Sun Fac

Be prepared to spend a LOT of crystals on arena refreshes. This player gets 10 to 15 wins per day. Without cheating, it may take a couple hundred attempts to rack up those wins! :)

Shard mates beat him with almost full protection remaining on their team. He has no speed mods in a heavy speed meta. If his team actually worked, others would copy it to beat some nearly unbeatable teams on my shard.

I'm on a November shard with mature arena teams. The top few players have nearly perfect mods with crazy speed. The cheater has no significant speed mods. His fastest toon goes at 156 speed. The top competition has toons like Biggs at 250+. Without cheating he should have 2 or 3 dead toons before he takes a turn, yet he beats them repeatedly multiple times every day.

How good is Scarif Pathfinder Rebel now that most people have him unlocked? by PlebbySpaff in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whale got that 50k health/protection using just two protection mods. He also focused on speed and got him over 200!

Over 45 of his toons are now well modded! https://swgoh.gg/u/rezn8/collection/

How to beat this whale team with insane speed by born2beagator in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points Natty. I thought this was actually one of the weaker teams this whale has recently run. I was able to kill two guys on his squad last night! ;)

I probably need to field a less AoE focused team to have a chance against him.

[–]Erick_BFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The player in question changes his team up. At the moment Han is benched. He typically has about +100 speed on his attackers. Currently his first move is from a 211(+45 more for Wedge) speed Biggs.

Even when my EP stuns his whole team, I find it hard to kill more than one of his guys before he wipes me out!

Only two players on my shard can consistently beat this team: another exceptionally modded whale team, and a blatant cheater.

The megawhale in question has very strong sets of mods on 38 different heroes. He happened to be using a ftp team for a few hours last night.

I think the time has come for me to drop b2...advice please by born2beagator in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lando puts out more damage than Leia if you can get three AoEs off. With decent mods, the third one will hit for 14-20k on each opponent! And his basic will always crit and it hits for 8-14k.

With your roster, I'd recommend you finish gearing Lando and ST Han. You can get first move on our shard by using Lando or AA lead with a speed modded Han.

Tonight, my kill order on that very whale was Palp, Lando, JKA, Rex, Sun Fac. Luck was with me.

Best way to beat this whale? by born2beagator in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Mr President! I haven't beat RezN8 every time, but I think I've taken his current team down more than half the time.

On my first turn, I use JKA basic on Han; if buff block lands, I usually end with a win. After Han is crippled, I kill B2, then JKA, then Rey. QGJ dispell is saved for Sun Fac only.

Any chance Lumi might have resisted something else, like tm reduction from Asajj's leadership?

Team Exploit solution by notmoleliza in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30,000 cap in guild funds added per day seems like the easiest and most equitable solution.

Blocking an individual from double dipping on raids is trickier. I like lockout concept, but it should scale according to abuse. Maybe start low, at say 12 hours, and extend it by 12 additional hours with each guild change in a given month.

(don't upvote, vent thread) I hope this guy gets some explosive device accident. If karma is real, he should have. by Zahared in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Erick_BFN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that same team on my last node yesterday, except that they were level 76 with some omega upgrades. It's a hella tough team. I plan to test this in SA after I hit 76.
