So who’s going to do hard mode this time? And what’s your GP? I’m doing it with a flat 4 mil, and I think I’ll get smacked. But it will be interesting to see how the difficulty is.

5.5 with JML on the way to SLKR. I think it will be challenging, but I do anticipate earning the 1st crate.

I think anyone who qualifies and got max rewards from normal should give it a try. Getting the first crate in 2 weeks should be absolutely doable. It's also free/extra so there is not much loss.

The data disks were numerous upon reaching sector 4 & 5 and could be a big part of the success for many players in the normal mode. Without these disks some of the players could struggle quite a bit even though they reached max crate in Normal. I don’t want anyone to come back and say, “I tried hard and it is ridiculous and I cannot even earn a crate. Thanks a lot Kyno!” No one knows yet what the tuning will be for the event so it could be a difficult choice for some. That said, I do believe GL owners “should” be fine to try hard. For those on the fence between Normal & Hard: with 2 weeks to compete in it, maybe wait just a bit (maybe a day) before deciding which mode you want to try. Ask your guildmates, check out some videos from other players etc. I offer this advice because I want the player base to maximize the rewards earned. While this event may be “free,” falling behind on rewards will still be detrimental for you in the long run and your enjoyment of the game will go down from such “failure.”

With 3.5m you cannot enter hard mode, you need 4m minimum.

Only got 3.5m GP & got max rewards on normal mode.Though, the first crate is as good as the max crate in Normal modeChoices, choices, choicesI think you need 4m GP minimum to be able to join hard mode. Not 100% sure as it may be just a recommendation.Personally I think the limit based on GP is stupid. I doubt you would be able to use over half, maybe three quarters at a push of your whole GP roster. I for one, wouldn’t be using my G9 Phoenix team for example. I doubt all of 4m of most players would be meta or useful, and you don’t even use ships.

Hell no, what are you talking about, you do realize u have to do BOTH normal and hard mode right? In 2 weeks

What? That's not how it works...

You choose either normal or hard mode and you're locked in for the two weeks

Sure that's not how it works, oh wait @CG_Doja_Fett announced that

Wow you really don’t understand it. You have to complete normal once to be able to do hard, just once. Then for every future conquest you choose to do either normal or hard and you have 2 weeks, you don’t do both in those 2 weeks

14 full Sith Squads AND 50 Thermal Detonators feat in the same sector. Yet another mindless grind...

Lol don't you wonder why there's a bunch of people talking about how hard mode is going even though this Conquest has only been on for 3 days? Do you think that every single person chiming in regarding hard mode whaled on energy refreshes to get through normal mode within a day before moving on to hard? You only have to beat the normal mode sector 5 boss once and be at 4 mil GP to unlock hard mode forever. You literally cannot do both normal and hard mode in one single Conquest, feel free to show us if you somehow find a way to

Every ten turns (I think it's every 10 turns) you get an instant kill, if you want it (like an event special ability that does the same thing in GAC). If you don't use it, however, it doesn't pass back to the other side to allow them to use it (the way it does in GAC). It's all you & only you.

That’s massively overpowered ?

Thank you, Konju. I knew it was something like that, but not aware of the particulars.

It's interesting that it functions that way, because with those auto-defense-buffs and auto-heal-over-time-buffs data disks means that you could set it up so that literally every time one of your characters takes a turn they deal massive damage. That's actually **much** worse than how I thought it operated.

I believe it is based upon buffs on your characters and not turns. I believe every 10 buffs your characters gain they will also gain massively overpowered buff and the next ability they use (even if not an attack) will do massive damage.

It is.every ten buffs. I had one in the first Galactic Conquest. Fun disk but not necessarily the best thing for working on feats.

only things from winning matches should count towards feats

Wait, I get that should be the way of it for the Boss fight feats, but those cumulative over a phase or over the whole Conquest event feats seem like they should include ALL critical hits or thermal detonators or enemies killed or whatever.

I mean, CG has the power to decide what the rules of the game are going to be, but that's not a rule change I would support.

However, that said, GL Rey + 4xJawas is both an automatic win against Geos, but also an automatic feat completion. I could see more than 10 detonators on every Geo before they died, and Geo Brute died twice from the detonators. It was easily over 70 and probably over 90 detonators in that single battle.

So, for people who have GL Rey but no relic or high-g12 toons that dish Thermal detonators, there is hope. My Jawas are all g9 and under, I think. So it doesn't take much gear. I imagine if you have Scavenger up high enough to use his passive special, you could have the others at g1/level1 just sitting under Rey's protection.

That is the way feats work in any circumstance, GAC, GCs, and now GCon.

Wait is it? I thought that you could still progress towards certain GAC feats like "Defeat x enemies with Order 66 characters" or "Attempt to inflict stun 50 times" even if you don't actually win the battle. Or are those also bugged too?
