So what the heck am I missing?
I've been playing since Dec. I don't recall the exact date but it was before x-mas. Anyhow I started out strong and peaked rather quickly all the way into the top 100 on the leader board over the course of Dec. However, since then I have been slowly loosing ground and I have serious trouble breaking even the top 500 now. Naturally, I assumed this was due to an influx of new players who've invested more resources in the game I have (time or money or w/e). Not to long after my decline I began reading these forums and I see ppl mention that they have smurf accounts like this is LoL and also that they are on new servers. Why the heck would you smurf an account in this game?
Another of my many questions in this thread is, if their are indeed separate servers is it possible to transfer to another? I would assume the answer is no and that the so called servers are created based account creation? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The reason I bring this question up is that I've seen several post where ppl claim to be in the top10 or 50 or w/e with squads with around the power of 17k-19k. This of course leads to more questions since my squad currently is roughly 19.2k ish depending on who I use for my 5th. 19k doesn't even crack the top 500 for me. The ppl that are ahead of me are 20k-21k which makes me thing who ever is at the top is considerably higher.
For the second 1/2 of the post If anyone is willing to give me some advice with my current stable.
I'm currently lvl 62 and for my current squad in SA I run
Sid 6* 61 (lead)
Lumi 6*, 61
Daka 5* 60
Ventress 7* 61
For my 5th I change between Chewie 5* 58, or a Dooku 4* 59
Now, I know that this isn't a great setup with the current meta of poe/dps race. However, as a primary ftp player these are the cards that Ive been given kinda. I know some dislike Ventress b/c she's slow and with the pending fix to her heal it just adds to the hate. She was my very first card I pulled iirc and given she is extremely easy to * up I maxed her first thing. She has carried my team from the start but I wouldn't hesitate to bench her if I had something better. This leads me to my next point. I know Chewie isn't worth a flip late game b/c like many other tanks but Poe, hes just to dam slow to be effective. I would like to quit lvling him and relegate him to a B team GW use only however, I find myself relying on him more and more since * ing up Dooku is sooo slow. The RNG has been killing me for Dooku shards. I've been banging away every day for weeks now with Dooku and I think I'm just now getting to the point where I'm like 10 shards away from 5* with him.
A couple of other things to note, who Im spending shards/resources on
Squad Arena - Sid 80 to go till 7*
GW - Lumi - about 36 more to go till 7*
Cantina - I was spending them all on Daka 48 till 6* but I've held off buying anymore for awhile b/c I thought I would switch to Poe. However, with all the Poe nerf talk I decided to just to hold on my Cantina resources since for me are the hardest to acquire.
Should I give up on Daka and push for Poe after the latest patch notes only mention a minor nerf?
So currently I don't have a strong 5th but I think I have a deep stable of undeveloped characters so any opinions on who I should start being up for a long term replacement would be appreciated.
Barriss 4* lvl 60 - Use for GW mostly
Ahsoka 3* lvl 59
Nighsister Initiate 4* lvl 53
Talia 4* lvl 52
JC lvl 3* lvl 46
Jawa 3* lvl 46
Phasma 3*
Plo Koon 4* Lucky Bronzium Pack
Cad Bane 4* Lucky Bronzium Pack
Urdurkadurk or w/e his name is 4* Lucky Bronzium Pack
Hk-47 4* Lucky Bronzium Pack
Savage O 3*
ST Han 3*
555's 3*
FO Officer 3*
FOTP 2*
GS 2*
IG-86 1*
Thats about it for my stable there's about 15 others which I don't think anyone would suggest b/c they're junk afaik.
I guess after listing that all out the RNG hasn't been all that bad to me. 4x 4* from the Bronzium packs.
I thought about going for some DPS and using like GS or FOTP but that will be a significant investment since I don't even have enough training droids to max my current squad.
When I first started b/c I pulled a 4* Daka and Ventress early I thought I would run a NS team until I realized how bad of an idea that was. That is why the NI and the Talia are partially leveled.
Anyhow, I know there are a lot of different question posed in this thread but any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thx in advance for your time.
