I'm Back

Well, let me be clear: I wasn't working on it before, but now I am working on getting a 3 week honeymoon in Japan. 

Accomplishments since last check in: 

1. All 7-star toons have their g12 finisher
2. No Kyros needed for anything; stash saved up; income now sufficient to meet the needs of new toons as they are introduced. The Kyro grind is over.
3. The NightSister needed for the current Conquest cycle got boosted from g12+1 to r3. 

In addition, I'm working on getting my entire roster to relics. I am finally down to 10 toons that are 7-stars (thus eligible for g12/relics) who are not currently relic'd. These are all old toons of limited value. Not none, of course -- I have one g12 Jawa and one g12 Geo, and both those factions have an occasional use -- but very limited value. 

Every single one of those is g12+3 at minimum. 3 of them are g12+5. I'm pouring all the Mk2 raid tokens I can get into Fusion furnaces while keeping a stash of g12 gear for the important new toons. Night Trooper, for instance, is currently 99/100. But because of my stash he won't ever be stuck at g12, he'll go straight to relics. 

My bottlenecks now are shards for new toons and signal data for relic upgrades. Obviously r8/r9 are still difficult to come by, and if the signal data was loosened those mats would quickly become a bottleneck (while I spent excess SD on brining r1 toons up to r5/6/7), but  I don't r8/r9 many toons, so signal data is still the limit on things I actually want to do. 

Still don't like the current raid much, but I'm kicking past milestones pretty quickly on my way to a fully relic'd roster. 

Welcome back and congrats on the wedding!

The negatives from last 3 weeks, we had the raid launch 3 times. Even though I did have a good score, it was very frustrating, took me a long time and made me look like this:

Working on GL Ahsoka and Baylan requirements.

Is there going to be a corrective this year to the GAC squish?  We got some relief last year at the end of October and then it became oppressive again for the past few seasons. 

Tasty looking ramen! Pair that with a Chu-hi and you have a real good time! Been in Japan since '96, Love it here. Where all did you go?

The galaxy would be a more beautiful place if we could use kanji(漢字) for guild names, like how ramen shops do for their signs.

May your marriage be filled with joy, love, and the force :)

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?

• Doing good. Yourself?

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.

Working on the new Nightsisters and Imperial Remnants. 

Waiting for more Ahsoka requirements. 

Not so much being accomplished lately

Congratulations on your wedding and honeymoon! We missed you. My fiance and I are going to Japan in a few years, and we are already excited! I just unlocked my first GL a bit over a week ago (JML) and I have been grinding his ultimate. I feel like a whole new world has opened up with all of this newfound power! Currently hoarding gear and deciding what to farm next, leaning towards JKCK.

Welcome back!

Congratulations (or condolences) on getting married! I hope you enjoyed those 3 weeks!

I'm finally done farming for the raid and can now focus fully on GL Ahsoka. PS: I miss your character release doodles 

Welcome back and Congratulations!!  That looks delicious, yum!  Working on all the new IR and NS (and of course Shin) for GLAT and Baylan. Can't wait! (actually I can as I still have much farming to do lol)
