So please post either your RAGE or PRAISE here and lets get to the bottom of this communities opinion on whats happening to this game of tactics and strategy

But you ARE using the wrong team. There's lots of people that can beat Xanadu Blood--especially such a low-level one. Use some of them! Farm Geonosians, they make Bounty Hunters cry.

It's not the game's fault that you're trying to push a square peg through a round hole.

Farming the right guys IS strategy, man. You don't expect to be able to win with Luminara because she was good three years ago, do you? There are characters that counter other characters, and you're basically all steamed because your rock loses to someone else's paper. Get a pair of scissors.

This is almost like complaining that Han and CLS can't beat Nest under Q'ira because...

What comp are you trying to use? There are plenty of ways to beat HT with XB at that star level. It will get tougher as XB and IG-2000 level up from the Falcon event (which I'd be willing to bet has some pretty significant HT counters in its kit). But for now, it's pretty beatable (Hint, Biggs really likes it when HT dispels his TL and he's got Vader as a wing man).

You do need a better fleet and you don't have the right strategy.

This fixation with fleet gp is weird. Never see the same complaint about t'other arena.

Really?

Maybe not lately but I remember seeing it a lot before.

You're referring to when Bastilla came in at 3* I'm guessing? I'll grant you that, but that was the exception rather than the rule. It's a regular thing with ships - people seem to think having a load of GP sat on your bench doing nothing means something.

I'm referring to lots of different times. It's been a common complaint as long as I can remember.

I agree it's worse with ships, both because of the bench and because of the way 2 and 3 pilot ships inflate it.

I dont use Xanadu or HT and my 367k fleet beats 410k fleets every day. ;)

This, ^^


What are you using for your fleet comp?

I'm actually seeing it start to make a comeback as people get their capital ships maxed and AoEs are a lot more prevalent. One dodge can get you out in front, and TFP is quite dodgy.

Gp means nothing, and yes, there are ways to beat ht + xb, but even with that, fleet arena is incredibly lame nowdays. With the tfp dodge (xb aes which is a guaranteed evade, and the capital ship also aes ehich is another ecade), everyone wins on offense.
This also means that nothing holds on defense, but not in terms of dropping 5-10 ranks overnight, but 30-50 ranks.

Cg clearly didnt test this (not surprised just stating tue obvious/usual).

Ship arena also depends a lot on shards. Some are very active and very hard to progress. Others less so.

I do think the release of all the bounty hunter ships as marquee has created a big divide between those who got those ships and those who didn’t. And I’m in the latter group.

I got into the top 50 in my shard with Geos and Ackbar when ships 2.0 dot as released. It was a good move at the time and boosted my zeta haul from the shop.

Not surprisingly, that’s not holding up as well these days. But I’ve also focused on the old republic toons at Revan for the moment so ships have taken a back seat in my roster. And that means it’s harder to stay in the top 50 as I haven’t farmed any of the new ships or pilots. So it goes.

It was never Chess, really.
