Geonosis LS

I wrote a very positive comment on the geo light mega thread after the previous geo LS TB. I'm writing here now because my posts won't show up on that thread for some reason (wonder if I hit a nerve?)
Last geo light TB I got regular 4/4 with shak/clones and padme team. I didn't have 7* negotiator or 7* GAS, yet and still I got like 27 completed waves, AND even got a ki adi Shard. Naturally I was pumped to go at it again. I finished GAS, Nego, and further raised relic levels and improved mods thinking I'd do better this time. This battle I was unable to get a single 4/4, no ki adi Shard. Only ships worked out pretty well. I understood that last battle I had astronomically good RNG. I fully expected to be able to complete the gas mission, having r7 both gas and ahsoka with arena lvl 6 dot mods. I was able to try the mission twice since we didn't advance phases , getting 3/4 once, 2/4 next. So seriously @CG_SBCrumb , what more can we do? even with maxed out toons, even if I wanted to spend to beat the mission, I can't go any further. At this rate we'll unlock KAM by 2025 (I doubt the game will even be running the way this is going). Please give us hope, reveal to us your card up your sleeve, what will enable us to beat missions? Is it level 90 increase, 7 dot mods, relic 10? Even if everybody unlocked GL Rey (extremely unlikely), that is still only ONE team, it won't fix geo light. Even if you don't plan on tuning down the difficulty, at least give us 2 geo light and 2 dark a month. It's no fun prepping a month only to epically fail and have to wait another month, finally getting to r7, just to miserably fail again. Or just flat out tell us, listen things aren't going well, we'll be shutting down servers in 3 months, or we'll be launching swgoh 2 in 6 months. Really, community disappointment is at an all time low, some serious feedback would be nice. The recent state of the galaxy was extremely poor. I don't even care that much if I'll never unlock GL, I get it that players who spend a lot (krakens and whales), would want an advantage, and GL might be it. But it feels like there is no new content (at least not beatable) for the rest of the player base.

    Go back and read some posts from then.


    Posts vs actual facts are different.
    You could max teams and have success. You can max your teams for LSGeo and still not even come close to succeeding


    Tvfs point , is that you are the new version of the old posts.

    You are just the drama queen posters who make everything seem worse than it is , and exaggerate it endlessly.

    Back when the sith raid came out , you weren’t on the forum. But some of those guys left , and now you are here to replace them. That way there is a steady flow of complaints.

    Also if your fully maxed teams are not getting close to succeeding , you are doing something wrong


    Condescending and wrong, congrats!

    You could max teams and have success. You can max your teams for LSGeo and still not even come close to succeeding


    You can max the right teams with the right mods and do very well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    If your definition of success is "beating every single wave right now" then ok.


    My definition of success is not having an R7 GR team get wiped out in wave 1 of P1. Don’t expect to even be able to do the waves in P3, but would at least think a maxed tram could get through P1 without getting annihilated in 1 round


    Then you are definitely doing something wrong. I don't have a strong GR team but others in my guild do and they're managing it, also plenty of people here have posted about managing it. And my less-than-maxed UP team (relics not all R7) does 3/4 consistently in the first phase and nearly got 4/4 this time.



    You’re missing the point. The fact that R7 teams even struggle at all in P1 is just a joke period. It’s RNG based on who you face that can make the outcome worse. Have there been times I beat all 4 waves of P1? Yeah. Others I get wiped based on RNG. That shouldn’t happen


    I agree that it shouldn't happened. I've never once got wiped on wave one with my non-optimal UP team.

    You're missing the point, which is that your problem is either your team, or your mods, or your strat, or some combination of all of these.


    Even with mid tier mods and a less than optimum strategy, an R7 Padme team shouldn’t be getting wiped or lose even a single member in wave 1 of P1. Even low relic teams should be able to complete these CM’s. Phase 2 and beyond should start to require the god mods, max relics and P4 should be that future gear level tier. I could even see an argument for P3 to start that point


    Why should mods and strategy not matter? I got bad news for you, low relic teams are beating these cms, but they generally use smart modding and good strategy.


    Because it’s maXed R7 teams in the first wave of the first phase of the TB....even low tier mods/basic strategy at that point should be able to make it out of wave 1 unscathed that early if the relics are maxed.


    I guess I don't consider "because they should" to be a reason that this game wouldn't require any strategy to be successful in. Does it feel bad that they have made content so future proofed that a currently maxed team can struggle? Yeah, it does. But I would rather have strategy matter than just a relic check.


    In the later tiers, absolutely. In wave 1 of P1? Not when the team is as maxed as it can be. Basic strategy of just “spray and pray” should even be able to make it through. In P2 and beyond, yes, better mods, better strategy, future gear tiers, etc.


    for the roughly 847th time, have you considered that it may be your team comp, strategy or mods? If your reply is "My mods are 6e" then you aren't understanding the question

    I guess we will just agree to disagree. I like that it clearly requires strategy instead of just hit a certain relic level and you win. While I have yet to actually figure out what the strategy is, I know that when I go into the TB battles the first wave will always look the same for that specific battle, so it is a matter of determining the kill order and modding necessary to get more consistent passes. After that, I get to strategize about the next waves, and so on through the phases.

    I agree with this and learned something too. I didn’t know the 1st wave was always the same villains on each specific battle. That’s actually really good and useable info.

    Its actually part of the reason I don't like phase 1 middle battles, the combination of units is very tough. You get b2 with stacks, B1, a droideka, a magnaguard, and a commando droid. If anyone has recommendations on kill order here I am all ears.
