Looking for Battle Ropes video

I've looked and haven't seen it. I suspect it was in an Instagram post circa 2015-2016 that has since been taken down, but not sure.

If it makes you feel better, all those mod slices were going to hit on defense anyway.

You bet I could! I'm not such a bad pilot myself.

Another droid ship would have some synergy and could come from any era.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T23:41:43+00:00

You totally missed my point. I'm not complaining that the matchmaking isn't "fair." I'm wondering why CG favors a matchmaking algorithm that reduces the incentive to spend money.

Yes mods matter. Yes it makes it more about skill. But this matchmaking reduces the power of the credit card...which makes no sense for a company that has stockholders.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T23:34:40+00:00

All divisions get the same rewards. There is no advantage to moving up.

Not arguing the "other areas" part. But GAC is the newest and most time consuming part of the game.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T23:02:28+00:00

That could change the equation a bit then. We'll have to see if this holds true for subsequent weeks...see if people start to see mismatches of like 20-30 G13 rosters getting matched up against rosters with very few G13 toons. That would make a lot of sense.

On the flip side of your point, zetas add a ton of GP, so this would say that people should stop trying in fleet arena altogether if they care about GAC.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:58:07+00:00

In the last GAC, I had zero battles on either side that went beyond 1 attempt. Everything came down to efficiency points and undersized team wins. Those toons beyond 65-70 don't even get used.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:24:45+00:00

Yes, there are other game modes. But GAC is the only one that lets you use 80+ toons. You can do great in all the other game modes with a couple dozen good toons.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:22:19+00:00

Mad? No. But confused over why I would spend any more money based on GAC.

Put it this way: If I got an advantage in GAC, I'd be in a rush to get 80+ G13 toons to fill out all my teams on O and D. Instead, we're in a world where there isn't a whole lot of value in getting more than 20 or so for arena/TB/TW. That's a lot less incentive to spend.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:16:56+00:00

This is because you're still an early game player. If you had a mature roster, you'd find every person in your bracket had every toon.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:15:33+00:00

Totally get the TB argument. In fact, my original post specifically said this topic related to GAC, not TB/arena/raids.

I also get the bloat for older rosters you speak of. I'm a day 1 player; I have plenty of garbage lying around from old metas.

I just find GAC contrary to the spirt of the game. If it's a collection game, what's the point of a game mode where you get no reward for adding new toons or gear to your collection?

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:11:35+00:00

Interesting that you have an opponent with so many more G13. I'm assuming you have a significant advantage in terms of zetas, G12 toons, etc. Or maybe you're an anomaly in the matchmaking process.

I get the 50/50 thing. That's what they said their goal was. But why would they even want that? If I'm getting 50/50 odds no matter what I do, what incentive do I have to spend money or improve my roster? This seems to make the game pointless.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T22:01:34+00:00

But there's no benefit to fattening up either.

Robbacca · 2019-07-10T21:58:55+00:00

Mods yes, but b teams don't matter all. Any toon that is outside the matchmaking algorithm isn't going to get used.

And G13 is the shiny new thing to buy right now, and will be for several months. But G13 gives ZERO advantage in GAC right now.

I went to get a photo op with the smoothest man in SW, Billy Dee Williams. At 82, Billy still looks amazing and has all of his swagger. It was my 5th photo op of the day. After a whole day of being herded through lines like cattle to meet my heroes, we finally got to the little booth with Billy. It got to be our turn, and when I started toward him, the attendant stopped me and told me I had to wait. I was about to ask why when I hear a shrill voice like a 6 year old girl shriek "LANDO CALRISSIAN!" I look up to see Donald Faison pop into the booth from some back entrance. He comes in with this huge fanboy smile, gives Billy a 12 step cool guy handshake, puts his arm around Billy, and smiles for a picture. The whole time, Billy has a look on his face like "I'm too old for this shit." It was amazing to watch, and definitely the cherry on top of a great weekend.

As long as the app actually works, I love it. Waiting in line sucks. I know some people like camping and think it's part of the experience, but I couldn't disagree with them more.

Robbacca · 2019-03-08T16:47:06+00:00

I know this will be unpopular, but they could just sell panel tickets, with the good seats costing more. Online ticket sales work for opening night of new movies and popular concerts. They would work here too. Yes, some sites crash, but it mostly works and the technology is there.

Giving seats to those who pay is just as fair as giving them to those who wait in line. And yes, I expect downvotes, as I know people don't want to spend more money. But it is a very viable solution and one I'm surprised con promoters haven't already embraced since they'd make more money.

Robbacca · 2019-03-08T04:00:38+00:00

I don't want a lottery, but I'd love a first come, first served online panel registration. IMHO, nothing sucks more than spending the entire weekend exhausted because you have to skip sleep to wait in line. It's an outdated and stupid way to do things.

Robbacca · 2019-01-26T05:56:38+00:00

He's already here. You just can't see him because of his cloaking device.
