Welcome back and congrats! I hope to visit Japan someday. My wife and i have already discussed, as recently as yesterday, that when it happens it will be when we can take a month-long vacation so we can also visit New Zealand and Australia while we're making the long flight over.
How are you doing?
What are you working on?
- Just finished my last requirement for BoMando. Now I'm saving resources until I unlock her so I can gear her right away.
- Once I unlock and gear BoMando I will put those resources into some RotE platoon needs, specifically Dengar & Dathcha.
- I volunteered for Dengar since his ship has been announced, so an r8 there made sense to prep for that release
- I volunteered for Dathcha because I've been meaning to get my Jawas to mid relic levels for a couple of years, but kept putting it off in favor of unlocking new characters. Since the guild needs another one at relic (my Jawa is r6 already) I figure I may as well just get the rest of them caught up too.
- I also volunteered for r8 Savage, since I have his omicron, so figure that can only benefit me. Same with the Jawas, he's been on my to-upgrade list for awhile but just kept prioritizing other things
Positives and negatives from the past 3-weeks
- Current negative: our guild is facing a TW opponent who have two r8+ Great Mother teams with level 9 datacron on each. No clue how to take them down. And since one is on each starting zone we're basically screwed right off the bat. The matchmaking in this game isn't ideal, but the datacrons just ruin the fun of the game in favor of who is willing to put more time or money into the game. Many of us have jobs, families, and other priorities and it's a constant struggle to keep up with people who do have that time and money.
- Also struggling with the raid. My Gungan team is r5 and can max score their tier, but again, it takes time. When I did our raid last night it took me about 10 attempts to get the rng for the max score, which is pretty obnoxious. Many in my guild are feeling the same stress of the new raids. It would be nice to be able to SIM them in some way so that we don't have to keep putting so much time into the game. If you actually hear and consider this request, I'd also like to see it for Ultimate Journey (which comes after conquest) and other regular events (Struggler's Run II). I've gotten three stars where I can in those events, but playing them manually every time they come around is just a time sink for no reason. Why even give us a star rating for the battles we can't SIM?
- I had two different instances during GAC where I finished a battle but before allowing me to submit or deny I saw a message that I had to restart my game for some reason. Thankfully the battles counted, but I've been hearing more about people encountering that issue.
What have you accomplished
- Finished my BoMando requirements, as noted above. Pretty happy about that.
- I beat the Zeffo unlock battle for the first time. Had a guild mate help me remod and walk me through the strategy. Still waiting on more in our guild to meet the requirements so we can actually unlock Zeffo.
