Krayt...Manual play and RNG...bad?

Would you rather have to play it on airplane mode? Because that's how we used to have to do it. The big difference now is that we don't have to keep force-quitting the application to throw away the score and retry. All raids ever have been like this - unless maybe you just weren't trying in previous raids? Or maybe you weren't playing when the raids were new?

Are you remodding to help reduce the RNG factor? Are you going in with a specific strategy, or just trying to wing it?

It sounds like you don't want to play the raid. If that's the case just submit your first score and call it a day.

As for it being boring - don't worry - the next raid is on the way.

Guess i was dumb before...i would play connected. I would choose the teams and either play or auto it...results would be similar over tries...so after a while i would auto most of it (still selected the teams for each phase)
I tried a specific strategy in Krayt...that is a big part of it...when on auto, the AI will not recover the toon that is eaten and will not use explosives to unburrow the krayt, so auto wont work very well. I am ok with making it more "manual"...but then results should not change so much between tries...GUESS i can submit first try...am doing it on most teams, actually...but it does annoy me A LOT.

LOOKING BACK...and reading the comment. I GUESS i can "fix" it simply by submitting the first try every time. It does annoy me that i know that i can do 300k+ with jawas, and most tries get 200k or little more...but i guess from the comment that it was always like this...ignorance is bliss...

It would be good if you could just log your previous score

I honestly find it very difficult to motivate myself to do my Krayt runs. Very monotonous.

Op still has a point with krayt being a bit monotunos. If you could sim with your last logged total score as result i would be content. Then you could sim the raid until you have made a roster improvements that you feel can up your score, instead of just repeating for the same outcome.

As my strategy got better, RNG suddenly seemed to matter less.

With my Hutt squad, I would often struggle, topping out anywhere from 1.5M to 1.75M. I knew that 1.8M was max for my relic levels, but I was struggling to hit it.

The fix turned out to be easy: Never use Boushh Leia's special. The exploding Thermals grant TM, but if they go off at the beginning of the Krayt's turn, the Krayt hasn't taken an action yet and reset its TM to 0, so it gains TM when it's already the Krayt's turn, then loses all that TM immediately.

Before I was essentially giving the Krayt 2 free turns per run. (Based on 3 specials with the Krayt typically low in TM but not at zero) and so it would finish me off before I could hit 1.8.

After making that change, I hit 1.8M first try most of the time. I haven't kept track, but it's probably a 90% of the time thing.

For Mandos I needed to remod and get my turn order fixed, and get The Armorer out in front of the Krayt. Once I did that, I started hitting consistent scores of 800k-950k. While that's low compared to the 1.2M max, that meant with just 2 teams for 1.8 and 0.8+ I was hitting 2.6M, which is my share of the 130M point box.

And, of course, I can still take Old Republic for 900k if I want or if the guild is short b/c some players aren't available, but generally I can do in 2 teams what my guild needs me to do and the rest is optional.

I'm sorry that the Jawas are feeling random to you, but Old Republic is very strong even before you get to the levels where their bonuses enable them to max things out.The Tuskens are fun to play and score fine. If you r7 the whole team, they get 1.8M just as reliably as Jabba's squad does, without having to do a GL quest to get that score.

But I encourage you to have hope. I put some time in to figure out what was going on that was limiting my success, and now I start the raid with 2 squads that get my share of the guild target on the first 2 attempts.

After that, everything is optional and just for fun. That makes a big difference in raid enjoyment.

Try to look at your teams and think of which one squad you could improve that would make a difference. Old Republic to r3? Tuskens to r5? Maul+Mandalorians to r5? Every one of those squads will get you 800k or more. I don't know which would be most fun for you, but there has to be one that's better than others.

Pick just one squad and focus on it. If you don't like Jawas, just don't pick the Jawas.

In the beginning, my guild was playing, but now, we have to push almost half of our guild members just to play the raid now. Most of the members in my guild can’t stand this raid, but it gives better rewards than the others. The worse part is even though I use the same strategy every time I play with my Jabba squad, I can’t seem to keep a consistent score and all my players are between R7-9. But when I go to the level to score 1800000, only one time have I made that score. All other times, I barely hit 1500000. And when I go a level down, my score goes lower somehow using the same players and strategies. My Jawas, I have upgraded to almost all level 12, but keep getting the same scores as I did when I had them at 9 and 10. I love playing everything else in this game, but the new raid system is really bland now.

Thank you...i feel much less lonely now...THIS^^ is not the exact same effect...but the end feeling is the same. And i ENPHASIZE our "common" comment...WE like everything else (i.e. not trolling).

Same here...i would "sim" it until i felt i have a better roster.

You must be in a bad guild

I really wonder how ANY GUILD can motivate someone to do a raid like this...the issue is not tips, or others not playing...it is mind-numbing boring...i already have a job, and they have to pay me to do it.

I'm sorry that the Jawas are feeling random to you, but Old Republic is very strong even before you get to the levels where their bonuses enable them to max things out.

I max my old republic...but relicing the non-jedis is far from priority right now...so this is actually the ONLY team i have no issue playing...bar some very bad RNG, i will get 450k every time. All others are too random, and i am getting to the point where playing them ONCE is becoming hard to convince myself to so...i think i posteponed it so much that i ended up not doing it...and i rarely miss a "job" in SWGOH.

Krayt raid is less than an hour on your own time once every three days. All five attacks I do have very different strategies to do well. I could cut the time in half for a minimal loss on rewards.

Fleets is multiple battles is the exact same 2 battles 3-7 times per day EVERY day constrained to a specific 3-hour window. Missing a day of effort costs 200+ crystals.

In the old Sith raid, it was 20-30 minutes at a specific time once every 3 days. Very repetitive.

In the old cPit, there was very little changes in strategies for most teams other than survive and hit hard. Waiting for multiple attacks in specific time frames that took way longer than the Krayt.

Harsh. I’ve been in 2 guilds since it launched and we’ve earned 130m crate every time, with me usually clearing 5m each time.

But I still find it difficult to motivate myself to do my runs most raids.

Are both my current and previous guilds bad too?

If you and your guildmates aren't trying to do the best they can for each other, then yes you are in a bad guild.

Hmmm.

I said I found it difficult to motivate myself, not that I wasn’t trying.

You are responding as if me and KDC99X aren’t actually hitting our attempts, which is not what we were saying, Lord Strawman.

Welcome to SWGoH then. I find it hard to get motivated for GA yet here we are. I guess I dont understand your guys point.

This started when you said that someone who didn't feel motivated to do the raid is in a bad guild. Not feeling motivated and actually not doing it are two completely different things. Not sure why this is still being discussed.

I guess because it is what we do here? B)

I interpret this to mean you went back and re-read the conversation and now understand the issue with what you said. :smile:
