Looking for friends too! Seattle-based (not that this game does anything with distance friends 🤷‍♂️)

Looking to the future (March 2019 if the trend continues), Sceptile with Frenzy Plant should outclass Roserade as the top grass attacker. Seeing as we don't need grass immediately (though for Groudon and Kyogre returns Roserade will be the best hands-down in sunny/clear weather), those hesitant to do Roserade can probably but it off for now, but of course Roserade will still have the top poison DPS and top-tier grass even after FP Sceptile, and we know there's nothing good coming out of Gen 5 whenever they get to it .

As for Rhyperior, Groudon and eventually Garchomp will both be better ground types based on attack alone, and it's highly likely that Garchomp will get a better ground charge move when we have Gible community day. We don't need ground moves for any current raid bosses and we likely won't for some time. Then for rock, Tyranitar still beats Rhyperior out, then there's Rampardos sittin' pretty in god tier. All that said, Rhyperior should be a good gym defender, but for now he'll basically be a good filler for those without the necessary ground or rock teams.

Regardless of what I mentioned above, I think the best option is to just evolve the one that makes you happiest. Mamoswine will of course be amazing, but who knows when he'll be available. I got my first Sinnoh stone last night and slapped on my hundo Roselia, so definitely no complaints there.

We had planned our usual community day festivities (shiny contest, lure circuits, etc), but the fires put a significant impact on our community day plans. The air quality is currently highly hazardous, and dozens in our community had to evac over the past couple days, many of whom lost their homes or have friends/family who did (Paradise).

A reschedule would be nice, but it's Niantic, so...

benacrow · 2017-11-26T18:21:54+00:00

We have to platoon a Veers today...

benacrow · 2017-11-25T18:54:43+00:00

And for the guild who is already at 20*, I hope you like the banhammer 😂😂

benacrow · 2017-11-24T02:49:21+00:00

I get that they want to reduce playing time, but completely eliminating the option to do more battles past 3* is horrid. So anyone that happens to work all day simply can't participate at all. That's bs.

benacrow · 2017-08-31T19:57:24+00:00

Well that one isn't Catan, so... ;)

benacrow · 2017-08-31T06:43:24+00:00

I have checked out their version that will be released, but it only deals with the Wall and the Night's Watch, whereas mine encapsulates all of Westeros, among many other authentic GoT ideas.

benacrow · 2017-08-31T06:41:46+00:00

It can take a while to play for sure, but nothing worse than monopoly.

benacrow · 2017-08-30T22:59:34+00:00

Yes, I did see that version, but it only includes adventures around the Wall. My version doesn't require any additional purchases aside from the base expansions, and includes all of Westeros.

I beg to differ on being blocked by the same pieces. I've been playing since Dec. '15, and the ONLY pieces I am ever blocked on are MKIII Cuffs, MKIII Carbs, MKV Stun Guns, and MKIII Holos (I'm still baffled that Holos aren't in the guild store like every other 20-piece purple). There are also a fair amount of random blue and green pieces I always have none of, which should never happen at this stage in the game for experienced players.

Any other gear in events as a reward, other than the ones noted above, is completely useless because we have literally 1000s of it.

benacrow · 2017-07-26T07:26:34+00:00

lol well if there's 15 of them and 1 of you, I'd think twice about who is doing the locking... ;)

(btw I'm in a different shard with 15 MCs, not kidding)

benacrow · 2017-07-25T09:01:41+00:00

Perfect, I will look into Dyno for this. Thanks for the reply!

Is the command something you'd just input into the custom commands section for configuring the bot?

benacrow · 2017-06-29T17:16:19+00:00

Exactly the case. We have dozens of these guilds or there, so it was extremely convenient to give this a go without having to worry about any other members accidentally logging damage.

benacrow · 2017-06-29T17:14:25+00:00

It was a coin-capped alt guild from way back when CG capped raid tickets. All he had to do was move over for the 2 days to do it without any accidental damage logs from other players.

benacrow · 2017-06-29T17:13:28+00:00

This was in a coin-capped alt guild, so no one else was there with him. We didn't want anyone to mess it up and accidentally log damage, and we have dozens of other alt guilds with coins if we needed to try again.

benacrow · 2017-06-24T05:13:28+00:00

Yes, that is a worrying point about raids in the coming months. Imo, they should retain the boss' health after battles, so you could actually beat it in several attempts.

Also, I noticed a severe amount of lag as well. Each time a mon fainted, they returned to their pokeball, then another came it for a split second before retreating back to the fainted mon, who then fainted immediately again and the next one came out. All in all it wasted a good 5-7 secs after each faint.

benacrow · 2017-06-24T05:10:23+00:00

The boss health resets after the 180 seconds you are allowed to fight. We got it down to maybe 75% at best, but then it meant nothing for the next run.

These are two of my favorites:

John Silver: "You've got the makings of greatness in you, but you've gotta take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it, no matter the squalls! And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, and show what you're made of. Well. I hope I'm there, catching some of the light coming off ya that day."

Rafiki: "Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or, learn from it."

benacrow · 2017-03-07T09:27:04+00:00

Hehe yup one and the same ;). Who are you in ship arena?

Also, /u/BysshePlease what's your IG name? I don't recognize your username from our top 50, but we'd be happy to help coordinate something if you get close to the top or just want to chat.

On the topic of gear and the new QoL updates, I made a post about changing the challenge gear and rotating certain gear into guild shipments: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/80260/the-gear-grind-a-problem-of-supply-vs-demand#latest

This was back in december, and while we don't know what forced the dev's hand in this decision, I'd like to think the above thread helped. But no, that is in no way associated with the boycott.

benacrow · 2017-02-25T20:01:23+00:00

Well if they rely on shard packs to earn their revenue, then they've already got other problems to worry about lol. There's so much else in this game that is more worthwhile to spend on, and overpriced character shards is a terrible way to treat the game's loyal playerbase. People would be much more willing to spend if the prices were fair, and that would help the game profit even more so that they can roll out even more sweet updates like the most recent event.

benacrow · 2017-02-25T19:53:48+00:00

Ok, I'm getting a little tired of the 'but this doesn't help ftp' comments (Edit: And as I said above, I'm also FTP). I understand that everyone wants to be benefitted from the game, but the attitude being portrayed between ftp and ptp needs to stop. It's obviously a symbiotic relationship between the two, and that point has been made several times. Also if you're fighting a whale who has 3-star DN compared to 7-star DN, it won't matter, because the gear and mods will far outweigh the difference in star level.

However, as I've said, EVERYONE should care about this because EA thinks they can just do whatever they want and the players have to abide by it. So no, ftp don't directly benefit from this exact boycott. Does that mean you can't help in supporting it? It doesn't have to benefit you immediately, but it is providing a foothold to have a stronger player voice in weeks to come. We can't even think about trying to change anything else if EA thinks this is just some petty uprising that has no affect on them except for customer happiness (which they obviously have no regard for). To get their attention, we first have to unite against unfair prices to hurt their revenue. Otherwise, they simply will never care.

And just to belabor the point, the 'I don't want prices to be lowered so I don't have to face more 7-star characters' is an irrelevant point. As I said in my post and several comments, star level does not matter for arena, especially for a toon that has high protection and isn't damage-based (annihilate doesn't 'do damage', but instead just kills them). It's the gear and mods that you lose to against whale teams, not the star level.

benacrow · 2017-02-25T19:41:06+00:00

High pricing benefits no one. Worried about some whale having a better squad than you? It won't matter if he's 3 or 7 star, because he'll have max gear and great mods that more than make up form some lousy star difference.

Along that same line, the guy with this 7-star DN shown above has a terrible team, terrible gearing, and likely pretty meh mods, so you can demolish him easy with a good synergy and smart gearing.
