What are people using for the TM strip feat against Mando in sector 2? I used RJT and friends in normal but can’t keep everyone alive long enough to get it down to one player and use the crate

I used geos with a load of turn meter reduction data discs.

There damage is low but was constantly stripping turn meter and one hit into the box removed all dots as they multi assist.

Also gave me the less than 6 special ability feat

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

It took 1 battle for 50 detonator, just run greedo, zam and dengar with the cool down reduction data disk easy peasy, you don't even need to win the match, I timed out, play against the Phoenix squad

Hmm, didn't know it can be done without win, I was under impression that counter didn't increased when I lost one such fight on the normal. Will try that.

Trying Sector 1 15 turns boss feat. 2 fights with JTR squad. 18 turns in a row in the first fight, 27 in the second. No feat. And yes, I'm completely sure any enemies (including stunned) didn't take a turn between those moves. Did I miss something or it's a bug?

It is currently bugged, only things from winning matches should count towards 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.

It's not "a change", it's the way it's supposed to be, but it is bugged.

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

Somebody has a tip for JML ? Just had one try for the moment with rey... i get one turn that’s it ^^’

I feel 2 weeks is too long. Make it 1 week but slightly tweak the stamina and energy recovery to compensate.

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

You only do normal once - and I stand by my assertion that 14 days is too long. 7-10 would be great, or introduce an ‘early checkout’ option where you can claim your rewards within the timeframe. You still get the same rewards as someone that completes after 14 days versus someone that does this in 3 so there is no risk that over a period of time person A gets more than person B over the same eligibility period.

To piggyback off of the rewards claim portion in a slightly different way: since the rewards are subjectively better or worse for individuals as progression is reached, I wouldn’t mind a rewards lock in button. I am fairly confident after playing hard mode that I can clear the board, but I don’t want max rewards due to pieces included and taken away. I also would like to keep playing without earning higher crates (I think the mode is fun).

For example, getting the T5 crate is my goal for rewards but going up to T6 doesn’t interest me. I know I can just stop playing the mode to ensure the rewards I want, but being able to engage after achieving desired rewards would be nice.

Just did the math. I need 58 more banners to unlock Red Crate. Can skip most of the SEE/JML feats and pull it off hopefully with time to spare. It's the repetitive "x battles with y faction" sector feats that are grinding.

Ok, after just completing hard mode, I have a few pieces of feedback for CG, @CG_Doja_Fett
1). Would love to see aeromagnifiers available for purchase in wandering merchant (all other relic pieces are)
2). I would not recommend changing the difficulty of hard mode, as it is a challenge but beatable
3). I would recommend increasing drop chance for purple data disks
4). Maybe add it so after you complete conquest there’s no payment penalty to move data disks, because after I beat it I wanted to test some things, but ran out of keycards

Other than that I love hard mode, and it was a great challenge, I’ve enjoyed playing it and just got the second highest crate.
