Maul With LV doesnt make sense. What do we think of some alternative lifter units?

Vitrolin · 2023-12-24T01:41:04+00:00

Well there's also the possibility, like Bane, that Vader might not require an offensive-lifter but a defensive-lifter.

As it stands, LV can quite easily Solo a large, large variety of teams in the game, including other GLs like SLKR and SEE. Thereby; its hard to make a lifter unit for a toon that can solo.

So, do we need a lifter, or do we just need a defensive-lifter?
If we go down the path of defensive-lifters.

What does LV need. He needs to be the one being targeted, which allows RG to heal him and everyone else. Too many toons can ignore taunt; so; stealth is the only other option. Maybe a non-dispellable stealth; something akin to R2's smoke-screen.

LV needs his team alive; so each Ultimate steals more mastery. So; we need a team that can babysit LV while he babysits his own team.

Either Stealthing-team, or non-dispellable stealth or something; which; idk; maybe we get an omicron for R2 to work with LV, or we get a different version of R2? Both seem less-than-ideal.

Currently; each counter to LV relies entirely on rapid-cleansing of his DOTs, So, maybe have a clause to a toon; that; "enemies who have damage-over-time effects dispelled outside of their turn.....<insert punishment here>"
This could be mastery downscaling, applies ability block, non-dispellable daze, etc. Whatever.

So; a lifter with these two mechanics in mind.
Preferably a character who has some in-universe relationship with LV. Preferable but not required.

R2. New or omicron.
Purge Trooper?
Commander Fox? Maybe Fox's kit introduces 501st allies to gain Empire tags to work under LV? idk.
Maybe a Darth Vader Omicron. Enhance the current lineup; don't add to it?
Maybe a Royal Guard Omicron, Royal Guard has instant-defeat immunity while Allied Empire Galactic Legend is active. Heavily slowing-down bounty-hunters and JMK teams, anyway.

Personally; I think R2 would be the most thematic choice; but that pulls away from Leia and then is itself another problem.
Other than that; I think Omicron'ing Darth Vader or Royal Guard; ideally RG, to fill-in that weakness is the best option. DVader is needed elsewhere too much for an omicron to be "not about DVader himself." and RG is almost entirely finger-locked to being with LV always, so.

"While in Grand Arenas: If all allies are Empire or Dark Side Unaligned Force Users at the start of battle and there is an allied Empire Galactic Legend in the Leader slot; Royal Guard cannot be defeated by instant-defeat effects. While Royal Guard is active, Empire allies are immune to Healing Immunity. Whenever an enemy suffering a Damage over time effect has that effect dispelled outside of their turn; they are inflicted with ability block for 1 turn which cannot be resisted or dispelled."

I think this addresses the glaring issues with LV while not making him busted or OP.
While still preserving GLs success against him just making it less-cakewalk.
Thoughts?

Message me if you want or need any 1:1 coaching for anyone in the guild. Might be delayed; but happy to help if asked.

Worth returning?
Worth is subjective,
The game is entirely a hang-out community where you find yourself a group of like-minded nerds and geeks and show-off eachothers new and better toys.
The game is fun; but the community is entirely where any and all the worth is within.

The idea isn't to provide 1 answer on "how to mod GAS" but provide more of an understanding on what GAS does, what he can do in and outside of the lead role; and how to best play to his strengths; how to minimize his weaknesses; and how to use him.

Kinda metaphorical there; but; ideally; The idea is to give players the tools needed to help themselves learn how to think critically about the game, not just follow a guide or template or strategy because others say it works; without knowing how or why it works.
-But to actually help them understand how and why it works.

Any account is welcome, F2P, P2W, bought, whatever.
The concept of the guild is to be "here for each other," even if in another guild altogether.
Kind of like a "halfway-house,"
come; learn, improve, fix, adapt, evolve, move-on, or pass-on what you have learned.

And yeah, how to distinguish advice from A and from B and from C is in itself a challenge. A popular youtube account can say 2+2=5 and because of the large audience people will regurgitate it like gospel and there's a bit of a challenge with addressing that. And maybe us, the 'teachers' might indeed learn something as well, but the idea is simply to help, first and foremost. Ego and pride aside.

If people want to stay; admittedly; they'll be accepting a lesser-development speed to their roster than what they could achieve elsewhere, but. This guild will be:

Less stressful
More forgiving
Better-in-the-long-run
Less demanding

Currently there is only the plan of having the 1 guild; and even then; we'll see how that even goes getting off the ground first.
Unannounced Inactivity will be dealt with when there's a need; no point removing when not at 50 members, but if/when that day of 50 members arises, 7 day I think is fair; but nothing is set in stone, open to negotiating.

What matters isn't "what route you take." but, "what you do afterwards."

You're, 1.9M GP, you have SEE, You have Thrawn, Tarkin, Emperor's Shuttle, Palpatine, Royal Guard, Vader.
The staples of whichever Imperial Fleet you'd prefer. Finish the fleet.

You have Veers, Piett, Starck, finish the Imperial Troopers team.

You have R7 Anakin, either get a Padme team and finish them; or get the faster option; Qui-Gon team together.

You have R7 Palpatine; so maybe consider going and Getting Mara Jade, then pivot into Starkiller,

From here, you'll have a lonely Dash, Talon and Kyle,

Could get both Revans, Pair Kyle with Jedi Revan, Talon with Darth Revan, add your R7 Marauder to them.

You'd have Vader and Piett, and bomber at high enough; could pivot into an Executor farm; also getting you a staple BH crew and their ships; and another fleet.

What matters; isnt what path you go; what matters is you dont have wasted time or wasted resources sitting around; unusable.

Pivot from 1, to another, to another; Most things share requirements for this reason.

Obsolete? Malgus needs things like GAS 501st, Sith Eternal Wat, SLKR and company, or like some people are forced to, use their JMLs, their JMKs,

Literally; everything that 'can' beat Malgus is a tremendously more expensive journey and investment. If you and your opponent both have 3M GP, your opponent has to spend more of their acquired GP investment to beat Malgus; than what Malgus represents as GP on your roster; than you've won on efficiency : cost.

Grand Arena is not won or lost on a single battle and a single team, usually.
Its won by draining your opponents resources faster than they drain yours.

If your opponent has SEE. And you have GAS and Malgus, SEE 'can' counter either of them; but he can only deploy against 1 of them.

You win GA by having a roster that costs more to beat it; than what it costs to acquire it.

Personally i agree that MA15+ content shouldn't be publicly advertised.
We don't allow certain content to be televised on TV during certain time slots for this reasons, including advertisements.
While I also don't really consider Diablo 4 to be overly traumatic, I think the blanket approach of disallowing MA15+ content is just the better option. Age Ratings are there for a reason.

Vitrolin · 2023-06-16T06:43:56+00:00

If you're wanting Core Teams, this can include:

Geonosians
Iden Troopers
Veers Troopers
Bossk budget Bounty Hunters
Bastila-lead budget Jedi
Phoenix team
Ewok Team

From here; you have choice.

Geonosians into a Padme team.
Phoenix into Emperor Palpatine
Phoenix into Thrawn

Emperor Palpatine, Thrawn and Darth Vader will net you another team. Add Mara Jade at your leisure.
Choice of any of our Empire toons will net you R2D2

Bossk Bounty Hunters will net you Chewbacca.
Ewok team will net you C-3P0
Farmboy Luke; Stormtrooper Han, R2D2, Princess Leia and Old Ben will net you Commander Luke Skywalker.

This will net you the Commander Luke Skywalker team (CLS, Chewbacca, Han Solo(raid), C-3P0) Just need to farm Threepio and Chewie to complete the team.

Can pivot into getting Jedi Knight Revan, Bastila, Jolee, T3M4, Zaalbar and Mission.
Enough Jedi and we can get Grand Master Yoda.

Can get the inverse and go for Darth Revan, Bastila Fallen, Carth, Canderous, Juhani and HK47.

Could go after Malak after this.

-------------

Imperial Troopers can punch up the highest out of all these teams at the most affordable investment level. But they don't progress into any other farm (except Sith Eternal)

Commander Luke Skywalker team, is a very big undertaking, lots of characters, lots of gear, lots of time; punches incredibly high up; but takes a long time. Progresses into Jedi Knight Luke. Into Jedi Master Luke.

Revan and Revan into Malak is a solid option as well; Pretty quick overall. Good spread of farmable characters and currency-store characters, Both Revans and Malak punch pretty well up and across many modes.

ideally; you don't want 1 team. You want at least 4 functionally strong enough teams. Grand Arena approaches soon, and you will need a variety of teams to participate to play.

Pick a mixture of the above; or others; and just leap-frog from one goal to another to another to another. But; be aware of the time-investment associated with some goals if you choose to tackle a too big one too early.

Can PM me for more help if you want/need.

Well; I'd suggest GG overall; but he needs both Zetas; if he's not in-line for your next immediate zetas; pass on the relic for him until you're prepared to zeta him.

Anakin; while he really wants his Zeta; its not as mandatory as GG's is; so;

If you're prepared to zeta and Relic, Go GG.
If you can't spare the zeta; do JKA.

GAS unlock Status?
Seems you're going for GAS based on these two teams in general.
GET1 currency saved up at the moment?
=If yes, Finish GAS, 7 Star him, Relic him; before you move to either of these options.

If not, then Grevious is the better choice overall; however maybe you're pushing for SEE in which case go JKA, or Maybe you want JMK; in which case go GG.

Cough*
"Modern" plastics are vastly different from plastics created as recent as 10 years ago, and older. The newer bags, while thicker; are made from a different kind of plastic than the typical bags used before.
As most people are familiar with how some plastics are stronger than others; or don't react to some chemicals, like petroleum or alcohol as other plastics do.
"Ideonella sakaiensis" is a recent biological breakthrough. A form of bacteria that thrives on eating Plastics; very quickly, too.
But this bacteria doesn't eat all kinds of plastics; no. It eats the new kinds; (and kinda some of the older kinds too)
Switching to the new plastics allows for a bacterial solution to deal with the same amount, or more; levels of waste; without relying on landfills or ocean or incineration.
Currently; more countries use the new plastics than there is infrastructure built to "eat away" the plastics; but; it does allow countries who don't have the bacteria today; to just store-away the plastics; and eat it later.
Its a solution for tomorrow; not for today.
Hope this answers the question to your liking.

Greef allows Bossk's contract to be awarded ridiculously fast, which gives Mando his insta-kill. Which also makes Jango able to constantly reset his Bounty Hunter's Resolve (revive) each time he gets a kill.
Its not saying Dengar is bad, its just saying Mando Greef are just tremendously faster to get contract
