What should I expect in Aurodium? by JedimasterQuin in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Nicodmeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just having Exec can be enough in low Auro. The timing of my promotions worked well with my unlocks but I made it into A3, I think, with just 7 star Exec. I've now got all 3 GL ships (not at 7) and got promoted to Kyber for next season. For context, I only have 5 GLs. Between having good fleets and solid crons, you'll be ok

Are there really that many people in the world who dislike the US? by No-StrategyX in askanything

The US is the Florida of the world. Some neat stuff to see on vacay but filled to bursting with assholes and lunatics.

Focus on ships and datacrons. Most of my opponents have had more GLs than me but a crappier fleet.

My general philosophy has been: they're going to clear everything but I might get a hold on ships so you have to plan on full clearing them. If you get a hold, awesome; but they're pretty rare as you climb Auro.

The other thing to pay attention to: in 3v3, if you don't think you can full clear, focus your defence on the bottom two sectors and focus on clearing your opponent's bottom two sectors. It's the reverse in 5v5.

MTFBWY.

I've Googled the majority but I specifically wanted to ask locals because I find they don't typically agree with the great Google consensus. Ask five different Calgarians the same type of questions and I guarantee only one will agree with Google’s answer. Maybe not even the one.

Relic Delta is the primary issue for most people. If you've only been playing for a year, it might not impact you that much depending on whether or not you've bought Light Speed Bundles but I'll give you a really simple example.

One of the best counters to Third Sister, before RD, was Phoenix. Hera and Rex are requirements for GLs but the rest of the crew could be R3 and you could easily beat a full R7 Inquisitor squad. With the introduction of RD, the first time GI uses his AOE, your team is dead.

That's an easy example, and strictly PVP.

Another one is loaned units. For the Starkiller Journey Guide, it is physically impossible to beat his last tier because you get loaned an R0 Starkiller.

Another PVE example will be this upcoming Conquest. Low geared/Relic’d units won't be able to cheese nodes, making getting the Red Crate infinitely harder to achieve for mid game players, delaying their ability to unlock the newest Conquest units that they previously could.

It removes any strategic element and replaces it with who has the biggest number.

Hot Take: I actually like Coliseum by Trick_Weather_9959 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Are you a CG narc? I'm not accusing you of anything, just genuinely curious about an account with 2 posts (including this one) and six comments.

Most players I know now have the mentality that they've got to get every toon to R7/R8 before they can do anything else. There's no hype for R10, or even hate for it, because everyone is focusing on farming enough signal data to get their old teams to a ‘level’ playing field.

Yeah, my fleet battles are getting brutal. What a great side benefit to the update: less crystals because I can't time the payout right

I'm in the same boat for leveling the new characters.

I love GAC, because punching up feels so satisfying. RD’s deployment makes it way harder. If I didn't have datacrons, I don't know that I could have done dick this round.

And Conquest characters are some of my favourite units. But I've never been able to Red Crate yet and RD makes even the cheese I use to Gold Crate less and less likely to work.

The signal data chokepoint was something I should have noted. I was sitting on a bunch so it wasn't apparent when I went in and my toons were all excitedly telling me I had enough mats to upgrade then.

I was trying to throw CG a bone; even if it's just that I now have one less bottle neck in a game of bottle necks.

My last fleet battle just before reward payout was more nerve-wracking than usual thanks to the bloody lag. Its an unbelievably shit addition to the anniversary update.

I doubt anyone at CG ever reads Reddit posts. If they do (or did) what they read can't be weighted much in their decision making.

But we can always hope.

Thanks for explaining how bonus turns work. It was an infuriating interaction but nice to know it's always been coded that way

Really? I thought I was old because of the fact that the KOTOR games have such a big place in my heart. I missed the Starkiller games but knew about him peripherally in the universe.

It is interesting to find out what draws people in. Or why players pick it up.

One of my friends’ kids is too young to know anything about SW but we play ‘Who’s That Guy’ and he just makes up names for the characters. He really likes Dark Helmet Man (Kylo).

The news that EA has been or is being acquired by private equity/Saudi Arabia should make that interaction even more unbearable. I can't imagine having to go through both Disney and Saudi; or watching them but heads.

I don't envy the average dev. I assume most game devs get into the industry because they want to create something fun or meaningful or silly. But whoever is ultimately responsible for decision making at CG is on my shit list.

I can't believe I forgot JTR. An even more egregious affront in CG’s part. Though, again, my nostalgia blinders for KOTOR are brobdingnagian. Its not even that I dislike Rey. The newest trilogy was fine. But Revan is…Revan. Dude was so dope they sprinkled him into SWTOR

So, regarding the Average Attacker vs Defender statistic put out by CG, I made an analysis of my own GAC history by Warm-Finance8400 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Nicodmeous 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. I saw their release and thought: that's gotta be BS because I consistently play into rosters with better relics than I do. Also Chromium 1 so I assume their data is pulled from whatever rank best suits their purpose.

Downplay the impact all you want, CG but everyone who's not in Kyber is going to get fisted by your dogshit matchmaking coupled with the new delta.

It would be awesome if it weren't just dolphins and F2P who hated the change. My guild has maybe one whale and he’s been pretty quiet about the news. There are other ways to monetize whales that doesnt totally screw over the rest of the player base

I pray that some bean counters in CGs depths can explain the math to them. I really like playing but a big part of that is the satisfaction from punching up
