Supposed to be 'mid-game' but not feeling like it

Ok, looking over your roster, you really just need some focus. You have a couple of team bases (Rebels, Sith) that could probably move you up in Arena and help you get through GW, but they're not developed. Rather than starting over with yet another faction, maybe build on what you have so you can get your income sorted out.

If you want to salvage this, I think your Rebel team can bring you up (and can get you Palp someday). Leia, Biggs, STHan, JC, and K-2SO or Boba can get you along if you develop them better. In the meantime, farm Wedge from Cantina. Another option would be Vader, Sidious, Dooku, KRU, and JC. (Until you get a self-healing mechanism, a healer can help.) Use both of these squads in GW, mix and match as needed, and use the restart button liberally.

It looks like you're having a credit crunch problem. You've got a lot of toons unlocked, but only a couple are leveled up. Getting a squad of 5 toons to your max level is going to make a big difference for you. It will put your potency/tenacity on par with what you're facing in GW and arena, and well as increasing the stats of your toons overall. Scoundrels let you complete credit heists. You want to complete the highest-level heist available to you. If you can't do that, you need to focus on getting your scoundrels geared and modded.

Be very focused in your gear and credits. Don't unlock, star, or level toons unless you're going to use them immediately. Don't add gear on them just because you have it. A little discipline goes a long way.

Finally, are you in a guild that's helping you grow? At your level, you'll benefit a lot from Heroic Pit raids 3 times a week and AAT at least once a week. If your guild can't do that, find one that can.

^ This is a good and valuable post.


@tarasca - Not wishing to patronise but I wouldn't say you're mid-game at all. You've got a lot of work to do - but you can do it! Especially if you listen to the wise advice of those much wiser than me that are sure to answer any and all questions you have.

I would say this - I think the game goes through peaks and troughs. Periods where you feel like you're flying - you're really advancing, unlocking new powerful characters with lots of use and achieving lots of goals. Other times, it drags - you feel like you're going nowhere, achieving little and progressing even less. I'm currently in the latter phase! But it does change. With hard work, discipline and focus (and/or by dropping cash down). You will find your way to more fertile pastures.

^ This.

Thank you so much for the advice, everyone! @nobodyfromjakku I took your advice on the Sith team and I'm doing much better in GW which is a relief. The rebel team isn't quite up to scratch--especially with STH being as weak as he is. At any rate, I think I'll be back on the path to success, soon!

As I see it, early game is all about building up one strong light side team and one strong dark side team to the point where they're arena viable. If you're following most guides, those teams are typically Phoenix and Empire.
Mid game is about getting legendary characters. It's where you focus on getting Commander Luke and Jedi Training Rey, the raid characters, etc.
And after you have all or most of the legendaries, you're in late game. Late game is about filling out your roster, getting specific teams for the different events, for territory battles, and for the heroic Sith raid. And it's about theory crafting and trying new characters or new combinations for raids, territory wars, and arena.

For early and mid-game players, focus is the key. You can only build up a certain number of characters, and specific characters are going to be harder to farm or gear than others. Keep focusing on the characters and teams you want, and you'll progress faster toward your goals.

With regards to the credit issue I had to switch from small guild barely doing a raid every couple of weeks to a bigger more active guild doing raids every 3-4 days. Really helps, even just joining and not doing any damage yields a sizeable amount of credits.

I'm level 75. Good news is levelling slows down A LOT, you can play catch up and not worry about getting your toons up much above 70 for a while.

Depending where your guilds at with raids you may want to knock out at least one 7* just so you can post a no damage on a heroic or high tier raid.

Like everybody else said though just focus on one faction. Synergy really goes a long way, it's why Phoenix are so common around mid to late game. Plus they fill in a few legendary requirements. Might be a bit late to start a fresh farm on those for now.

Oh and you'll need millions just for 5 dot mods as well. Those are really expensive to max out. I still haven't done most of mine.

Build a farming sheet, I spent up to maybe level 60-65 just random farming characters I liked just to unlock them and had a lot of low starred/geared toons with no value or synergy. I then got an Excel sheet of this forum with which shop/node each and every character/ship is available on and prioritised each one so I wasn't wasting resources and it made a massive difference just to have a focus. I suddenly was getting teams instead of individuals and opening up a lot more game content and rewards as a result.

Also switching guilds as mine was only half full and the additional raid rewards have sped up my progress a lot.

Good post indeed except that bit. Phoenix are common early game. Far, far less so mid to end game.

Thank you so much everyone for your help. As of five minutes ago I unlocked Emperor Palpatine at 6 stars! My rebel Wiggs synergy team has gotten me above #1000 in arena and I think I can push a little higher. I'm about #850 or so in fleet arena. I never thought I'd get there. I'm in a new guild and I'm contributing very very slightly to raids and territory battles and gaining a lot in return. I can get through GW with no trouble almost every day, which is giving me the credits and materials to get my abilities and levels to a more reasonable level. No Thrawn this time, but I didn't expect to get Palpatine so i'm at peace with missing him for now. :)

I have a farming sheet now, I'm focused and the game is a lot more fun. Again, thank you everyone for your help!

Dude i was in basically the exact same position as you! near enough everything you said i could relate to. And thanks to everyone on this post and those who comment on threads i had posted i am in a much better position now like you. GW is a breeze to complete each day and ive also broke through the 1000 barrier in arena! I just unlocked palp at 6* as well and the game is a lot more enjoyable for me now too!

Did we just become best friends?
