Naboo raid more difficult not less?

The downside is that at higher relics it isn't actually easier. 

Quality of life is important, and I want to see a way to achieve that. one way to do that is to increase the difficulty of achieving max score as you go up difficulty tiers from 0-3, then decrease the difficulty as you go above Tier 4. Or just make Omis available that allow for auto'ing more teams. There has to be some way for a person to spend their way out of having the raid be a pain in the burro. 

I think this raid is less popular than others, but even if it isn't every raid should be set up this way b/c you can't skip it without hurting others. With TW or GAC you can skip and only hurt yourself, but skipping the raid penalizes people who aren't you. This can create good motivations ("I want to help my guild mates! Let's win this together!") but also negative pressure ("I need to do X in real life, but my guild suffers unless I max out my score, which is going to take multiple restarts and 90 minutes"). 

Being able to buy your way into an easy raid through Omis or high relics is a way that you can do both -- help your guild win AND have a life where you get things done. 

Sure, not everyone will be able to afford the relics or omis, but at least it would be an option. 

Excellent suggestions on your part. We should be able to see benefits of improving our roster even when we don't have everything maxed out. I wouldn't even mind not being able to auto a tier, so long as I am at least able to complete it at the first or at most the second attempt if something goes wrong, not having to attempt the same battle a dozen times because the entire raid is overtuned or too RNG-dependent. In the case of the Naboo raid, as we improve our teams and are able to move to the next tier, we should be able to see some kind of progress, be it because of relic levels or modifiers. Instead, it's like we're being punished for having the teams at anything below R9, the highest tier/relic level, which as I said is even now still hard to reach. If we take a Lumi team, or any for that matter, from R3 to R5 and are able to move up a tier because of that, the new tier should indeed be more challenging but also manageable, as in, not something that leaves you disheartened and makes you want to go back to the previous tier.

Well when you work foe the company to come to the forums and refute anything bad about the game, you would disagree with any criticisms.  Jfc...

The problem is consistency.  You run the same team and get wildly different results.  I'm guess it is in part due to whichever buff the lead BD gets.  I could get full score with my R5 Gungans, but it took me a dozen tries today to get it.  By comparison, I only had to reset once with my Lumi team, and that was even with losing a toon halfway through on my second run.  I think repeatable results would be really helpful.  I'm still trying to get max scores with QA and Sids/Maul teams, but it doesn't seem worth the investment and stress of getting all the right mods and such just to get a few 100K more in score.

Is that aimed at me? 

Suggesting I refute anything bad about the game is a spurious and demonstrably false claim - just like some of the claims in this thread about the raid suddenly being made more difficult, ironically. 

It is just a feeling though - and I know many players who have a feeling that the raid has not changed in difficulty at all. 

There are many aspects to the current raid I dislike… 

• the bonus turn mechanic has the potential to be an RNG nightmare for some teams. If the command droid gets the bonus turn against a Lumi team, for instance 
• I hate the way Darth Maul, Sidious and Nute’s TM always reset between waves. If I kill the command droid with DM’s basic in wave 3, it is difficult to accept that he doesn’t move first in wave 4
• I detest the way that a retreat when using DM, Sidious and Nute sees the character selection screen automatically fill the unused slots every single time. And warn me about using an undersized squad every single time

So I’m not some raid-apologist for CG. I just think there’s zero substance to claims about the raid getting harder, and citing previous times that CG made errors as evidence for this theoretical raid adjustment is about as flimsy as evidence gets. 

Maybe I’ve just been lucky, but I don’t have any difficulties with the raid. I can usually get a max score on the first try with 2 different Jedi Squads and max score with B2/Maul/Sidious team… getting around the 4.25m score seems to be fairly easy tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

I get just under 5M with Gungans, Quadme, 1 x Jedi and B2/Maul/Sidious. My scores massively improved since day one same as a reduction in number of repeats. The RNG for me is consistent now with previous raids. So I am wondering why others are still having such a massive issue this far in. My Jedi team still has 5 dot mods so it’s not even massively a modding issue. But I do need to swap mods for Quadme team to get a specific speed order. I had to do that on previous raids though for some squads where turn order or speed is important though.

Each of your 3 criticisms is dead on. 

Yes, it's just a feeling, and yes, I may very well be wrong, but I see nothing wrong with sharing it. Unless I'm mistaken, we're supposed to be regular people playing a mobile game. We're not laywers or policemen, and this certainly isn't a murder investigation. If it's to accuse someone else of cheating, that's a serious claim that could potentially get at least one player into trouble, so yes players should have evidence to support it. As to almost everything else, we should be able to share our opinions or complaints without having everything we say be scrutinized or dismissed simply because we didn't defend it with cold, hard data. Freedom of speech and all that.
