This is a fantastic guide. Sadly I didn’t find it until I’ve already spent two weeks in game. I’ve built up Phoenix Squad, invested in some First Order characters, and even spent some cash just to level up some of the “meta” heroes. But I can’t break 800 in arena, have never finished war, and am just stagnant. I’ve not been able to enter a guild either. Because I’m not knowledgeable enough to be able to explain how I could help with what I do have if I even could. And if I try and pivot I’ll just make everything worse. So I’m behind in my shard and I can’t leverage this fantastic information.
This game is incredibly punishing for new players. And once mistakes are made it looks like you’re stuck in the bottom forever with no way to compensate.
I wish I had found this to start. It’s really fantastic information and your videos are very informative. I’m really depressed about the way my account has started and how spread thin I am, how lost and uncompetitive I am, and how if I try to start a new account I’m out the $45 I spent like a ****.
I’m gonna keep following your progress because it’s a fun exercise. And really informative. It I feel like I might have to just resign from the game.
This game is SOOO unforgiving to new players. The information is very difficult to comprehend at first and most people pick it up because they like Star Wars so you go to your favorite characters which isn't how you succeed! Mace Windu is one of the most interesting characters in star wars but he is absolute crap in this game!
Its not uncommon at all to see people start over in this game, you don't lose a ton and even that 45 dollars is a sunk cost. Spending money in this game (outside of hyperdrive) is a trap for the most part. You either spent a 10's of thousands or spend nothing, no happy spot in between.
I think the highlights of my guide and many others is that it gives you the focus you lack as a new player. That is really the key to this game, pick a lane and focus on it. Also, the first two weeks in the game are SUPER fun but also have the least Quality of Life features.. no sim tickets, no protection on toons, many events you can't do, etc. It does get better after you get sim tickets :) Makes a world of difference.
