CG is clearly against infinite loops that trivializes end game content. So nerfing Finn was justified because he along with 3po were racking up scores identical to this new 3po team configuration. So what's next? A nerf to CLS? A nerf directly to 3po? Assuming there is no way that these scores are achieved without an infinite loop, I really have to say that the developers handling of gameplay has been super sloppy, and mindboggling lately. Maybe before coming up with new ways to force players into panic buys, you guys should be focusing on the quality of the products you are selling...

Personally, if someone manages to get the RNG to get to a second topple, and has the patience to sit for the best part of an hour or more to manually run P3 (can't auto it with that team), they deserve a decent score. That's without taking into account they've geared the carb-fest that is SRP.Though I'll concede the point, it's just a different, though definitely more dull and painstaking, version of the same thing.

Meant to add, if you want to know how the team works, it's explained quite well here: https://youtu.be/aptc7itbJxg

Maybe before coming up with new ways to force players into panic buys, you guys should be focusing on the quality of the products you are selling...There are truly infinite loops (which cannot break under any circumstances) or pseudo-infinite (can be infinite but still has exit points).The example of the first case was the bug when Nihilus can steal NS zombie -100% speed "buff". Such cases obviously should be fixed in the more or less actual content (no one bother about Rancor).Almost all cases of STR loops are second case. NS Deathstorm can be infinite if you are lucky with post-enrage targeting, NS on P4 Nihilus can be infinite but also can break easily because of randomness of turn order at 100% TM, and so on. I think when they look at semi-infinite loops they are trying to measure how easily it can be set up and controlled. Easy cases (get a bunch of proper characters and hit auto) are nerfed. Hard cases (hard to setup, no auto, some amount of luck to be infinite) - not always.

Can someone please explain how this is accomplished without an infinite loop...

Exactly, cg wouldn’t nerf this.

Don’t know why people are getting excited or worried about it.

I haven't personally seen how it works, but I saw the score, and knew some kind of loop must be involved. I am very competitive about raids, and have invested a lot of time, and recources in my raid teams. So that's why I would get "excited" about this. It annoys me that a player can get an impossibly high score using an infinite loop, no matter how long it takes to achieve. I personally spend at least a couple of hours per raid to achieve my scores.

Thanks I'll check it out.

They could actually nerf this with a slight buff to the character, all the would need to do would be give more potency at lower levels, if I remember right this has to do with tm from resisted buffs.

If you have a weak C3PO you don’t need the 2nd topple, and can also run Han or Farmboy Luke instead of SRP. Much less RNG needed and I’ve had people tell me they can get it done in just over 30 minutes.

Unfortunately I can’t verify, because my C3PO is nearly maxed, which is a far bigger problem (Zombie 2.0) than any infinite or near infinite loop.

Gotta be nuts not to have geared Threepio though.

I enjoyed the video, thanks for making it.

If they don’t do anything about this (which I don’t think they should), then it kind of proves to us that they weren’t being completely honest about nerfing Finn to fix his raid loop...
