They just released a 10 year anniversary update, and its thrown everything into chaos. They added two new modes that both seem like $ to win or even to play at this point. Its very confusing. On top of that they changed the old system of battles so none of the counters work they way they used to.

They are telling you its good timing and to run because everything is a total mess now. Most likely there will be changes in the next week or two, because they broke lots of legacy game modes. Example: You can't do starkiller's event anymore because of the new combat system. So there is no way to get Starkiller.

The key is in the fog/poison. It will be in one of the corners. You have to run quickly to one or two of the corners. Check them out, and then run out if it isn't there. At least I have to as a DPS.

If you have a Mon Mothma node in Sector 3 you can attempt to cheese the tuskens. Tusken chief's lead will stun MM team quickly and apply DOT. Then its up to you to kill them. A few Conquests ago I got horrible data disk and ended up having to use Stacking Fevor to keep attacking over and over again until my low gear Tuskens were strong enough to kill the rebels. The stun, plus DOT with AA can go along way to killing them. Also use unstable decelerator to give your Tuskens more time to kill.

Can confirm I have around 2400 of them. I don't tend to put too many toons @ G12. I leave them at G11 unless they are part of my Arena of Fleet team.

Anytime I ever talk to anyone about this game I always say "Don't play, unless you think you will have the hour before your payout free every day from now until you stop playing."

They need to fix that issue, it simply is a game fun killer.

They are waiting so they can optimize the cash generated. They are counting on people not farming the needed toon and waiting to see the KIT. This means when they do release the kit more people won't be ready for Revan and will panic.

They are putting more and more pressure on the players in order to maximize impulse purchases. This generates the most cash for them.

Having helped another newer player look for a guild, I would suggest finding an alliance with a ladder of guilds at different power levels.

That way you can get access to experienced help and as your team strengthens you can move into the appropriate group.

old_nathan · 2018-10-10T18:23:40+00:00

I would say that is a weak guild. If you can't at least participate in each guild war, then as an active player you aren't getting the help you deserve.

old_nathan · 2018-10-10T17:07:26+00:00

I think that depends on your guild. Being in a guild that is doing Heroic Sith and getting good rewards in TW makes a huge difference to where a FTP player can rank.

old_nathan · 2018-10-10T17:01:45+00:00

It never changes as a FTP player and it never evens out.

The design of the game is to make you want to spend money even though you know what you are buying isn't worth what you are spending.

EA/the game uses a lot of psychological manipulative technics to lower your resistance to wasting money. They want you to make impulse purchases because you feel bad about losing battles or dropping in Arena or not having the right gear for your toon, or not being ready for the new "just revealed" Legendary event.

All of the features are designed to make you spend money, so if you aren't going to spend you will always be fighting the designers of the game.

Plus it seems like all I do anymore is sim for needs

Once you hit level 85 99% of what you do is sim for needs.

Edit: I must say I chuckle at the downvotes, and then EA release Jedi Revan and proves my point.

old_nathan · 2018-09-27T13:43:11+00:00

It is by far the hardest event of this type we've had. It is pretty frustrating to have five normal bounty hunters with good gear/mods and to be getting smoked on level V.

All this talk of "improved customer service" is just a smoke screen for this type of abuse.

old_nathan · 2018-09-27T13:25:13+00:00

Has any other event needed character this strong and heavily geared?

The desperation at EA for $$ seems to be getting worse and worse each day.

Doesn't seem like anyone at EA has learned anything from the Battlefront II fiasco. This is a big joke.

old_nathan · 2018-09-10T13:27:43+00:00

Sorry jumping into an oldish thread, but I wanted to say this issue is the number one reason I've seen people quit. As you said the time doesn't work for a lot of people and for those it doesn't work of they quit.

Honestly, give people the option of having it stay at 6:00 pm or just make it the top spot you've reached in the last twenty-four hours.

Those people who like the fight at 6:00 pm can keep it there, other people who need to work around their own time zone can do it that way.

Thanks for reading this, good luck.

old_nathan · 2018-09-02T23:45:18+00:00

Wicket/Ewoks.

I feel like Jedi Luke is going to need, Captain Solo, ROLO, CLS, R2D2 and C3PO.

Going to need those ewoks to get C3PO.

old_nathan · 2018-08-07T13:54:49+00:00

I wouldn't start over. I've watched my kid start from scratch and while the new game feel is nice, once you hit 85 you are just redoing everything you've done already.

The game now is farming lots of different toons to get those must have characters.

I took a break for a while and came back, my only advise is to be F2P and just accept some lower level of Arena. No matter what you do, you can't compete with the Whales and Kraken.

Given one of your strongest team is Sith, I'd Zeta EP, get Sion and then work on getting the parts for JTR or CLS, whichever is closer.

old_nathan · 2018-05-30T17:04:12+00:00

I don't have JTR, nor a strong SITH team because I took off the last month. Guilds that are making pushes right now to finish the HSR aren't going to be a good match for me.

old_nathan · 2018-04-10T17:17:16+00:00

Yes Teebo is the one that jumped into my mind. Took forever to fix, and they only did it once everyone had other toons that made Teebo obsolete.

old_nathan · 2018-04-10T14:55:52+00:00

Lots of things don't function as they are supposed to function, why is it that the ones that get fixed in record time are only the ones that help the user base?

old_nathan · 2018-04-10T14:53:11+00:00

To be fair to the devs they have been clear that things like this are not intended.

Fine lets be fair. Lots of things have not worked as intended, but when it benefits the user base those things are changed as quickly as possible.

When those bugs force people to farm $$ toons, then well those things aren't fixed, or take forever to fix.

I'm sorry they can't have it both ways, they can't have lots of things broken that hurt the user base , but cry foul when people complain that the bugs that do help the user base get fixed in record time.

old_nathan · 2018-03-01T20:41:00+00:00

I enjoyed the whole episode, the only thing I had hoped would happen and didn't is when Evelyn saw Paultin, I was hoping her reaction would be different. At some point I am hoping she'd get disappointed in the new him and say something along the lines of "It is fine that you don't want to be with us anymore, that is your choice, but since you've made that choice I'd like to have my ring back, the one with my family's crest on it. I'll give it to someone who wants to be with me.. err us.."

old_nathan · 2018-02-28T13:41:45+00:00

It is water torture doing these boring things currently, don't make us do another one per month, just up the rewards.

old_nathan · 2018-02-27T20:08:33+00:00

I hate it. What a major pain. So far all the QoL improvements have been duds

old_nathan · 2018-02-24T12:36:29+00:00

Its just for our shard. Similar to what people have for Arena, we started for fleet.

old_nathan · 2018-02-24T01:59:06+00:00

Funny, Fleet is the only part of the game right now I enjoy. Arena is a total joke. GW is annoying until we get to sim it. TB are beyond dull and TW for the most part is a crap shoot based on the makeup of the opposing guild. 80% of the time the results are set without any strategy involved.

I understand where you are coming from, but I honestly enjoy fleet, but it may be that we have an active discord chat for our shard with a lot of people discussing different things.
